Brazen Host

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Brazen Host is a vast warband of Chaos Daemons composed primarily of Khorne and Slaanesh Daemons, although it also includes Tzeentch and Nurgle daemons. Despite being from opposing Chaos gods, the Daemons of the Brazen Host number in their thousands and are bound together by infernal pacts and the will of their mighty Bloodthirster master, the Gore Lord. For example, warband of Plaguebearers - Festerlung Writhers were defeated by Gore Lord during the Scouring of Nurgle's Vineyard and since that have answered the Greater Daemon's call to arms. The Brazen Host always seek out and attack strongly defended locations in order to honour Khorne to the utmost.[1]

Most fearsome of the Brazen Host's Daemons are the Skull Riders, one hundred Bloodcrushers who serve as the Gore Lord's vanguard and are tied to serving him for eternity or until they claim one hundred billion souls, though they do not care which comes first. The Skull Riders' elite are known as the Sons of Wrath.[1]

Another good addition to the Brazen Host were two Soulgrinders - Helmaw Thunderheart and Gotok Goremad. The former loyal Space Marine and now - a Daemon Prince Scyro Souldoom also joined the Brazen Host.[1]

Famous Keeper of Secrets Ses'tesh was a part of this Host and took part in The Fall of Absolom Reach.[2]

History

The coming of the Brazen Host was prophesied during the middle years of M34 by the scholar-giant Cassalan Fayre of Elipsir, who warned of the carnage they would wreak.[1]
