The Goremongers are rabid cultists who have seen the glory of Khorne daemons and lived to tell the tale. When they go to battle, they wield a wide variety of weapons, from great double-handed chainaxes to blood-letting knives, harpoons, and autopistols – arms to better let the blood flow.
When they are unleashed, Goremonger Cults are led by a Blood Herald and are armed with chain weapons and ritual daggers. Blood Heralds wear helms wrought in the image of a Bloodletter and wield swords which resemble their Hellblades. These champions seek to transform into a very Daemon themselves through the spilling of blood in Khorne's name, though none know if this is even possible.
Additional information
Goremongers are an offshoot of the more common Jakhal packs, having fought alongside the World Eaters and Bloodletter Daemons many times. This experience has led to emulation of the Daemons of Khorne, which in turn has caused them to cut off their own legs and replaced their limbs with mechanical ones that are shaped like a Bloodletter's. This is the first act new inductees into the Chaos Cult do and it aids the Goremongers into closer matching the Daemon's form. The Cult's members' bodies are also pumped with a constant flow of Combat Stimms and drops of their master's blood. However, despite this, the Goremongers still retain a modicum of cunning and level-headedness, which makes them among the most lucid and reliable of the Chaos God Khorne's troops.
Unlike Jakhals, who are usually used as disposable cannon fodder by their Chaos Space Marine overlords, Goremongers perform a niche role and will range far ahead of their allies to act as scouts and skirmishers.
