In the Forty-first Millinea, the Gods of Chaos have many forms of destruction to choose from. From small skirmishes to huge titanic battles. The gods call upon their chosen champions, their own daemon spawn, and epic war machines to lay waste to all of humanity. Below is insight into those war machines, the engines of destruction.
Each of the four great Gods of Chaos has its own multitude of daemonic followers. Some are huge and powerful, others smaller but more numerous, some are intelligent and cunning, others are mere beasts or mindless automatons. Greater Daemons are the mightest of these daemons. They are immensely intelligent and hugely powerful, and some are worshipped by mortals as gods in their own right.
Greater Daemons are fashioned from pure chaos energy rather than flesh and blood. They need the supporting energy of the Chaos dimension or warp space just as mortal creatures need air to breathe. While they are in the material universe daemons subsist off the psychic emanations of their mortal worshippers, without which they would quickly fade back into the Chaos dimension. Throughout the Imperium misguided and ambitious Chaos Cultists worship the Chaos Gods, providing the psychic energy needed by the daemons to live in the material universe. This is exactly what the Greater Daemons want, so they encourage mortal worshippers, offering subtle promises of power to lure them ever depper into the web of Chaos. The Imperial Inqusition is utterly ruthless in dealing with Chaos Cultists, even going so far as to destroy planets where Cultists have taken a firm grip. It is a horrifying thing to have to order the the destruction of an entire world, or Exterminatus as this final solution is called, but the risks of Chaos taking a hold in the material universe are too great to take any chances.
