Like monstrous hunting beasts, the Daemon Engines lope across the battlefield to tear apart their master’s prey.
Dozens of machine-thralls are lost with the creation of each beast – a minor setback given the raw power these monsters provide. The screaming fiends must then be bludgeoned into submission until the time of battle is at hand. In the molten heat of the forges, Warpsmiths trap these Daemons within the rune-bound hulls of the giant metal abominations they have created. These captive Daemons are dragged screaming into the flame-hearted citadels of the Dark Mechanicum. Beyond the soul forges of the immaterium, creatures of the warp are bound in nooses of rope woven from the hair of murderers or with chains fashioned of scrimshawed bone. Even amongst the servants of Chaos there are few who understand how these monsters are created. The Imperium has little concept of how these affronts to sanity came into being. Bound within the battle-scarred metal of each Daemon Engine is the essence of a raging warp entity, imprisoned in a physically indomitable body and weaponised in order to better serve the forces of Chaos. To compare a Daemon Engine to an ordinary vehicle is folly, for each of these beasts has its own malevolent sentience rather than a crew. One of the worst of these are the spawn of Chaos, and even among them Daemon Engines do stand out.ĭaemon Engines are gigantic battle machines that prowl on mighty piston-driven limbs. Many dangers await those who plow through the Koronus Expanse.
Tell me, mortal – have you ever seen such a glorious sight?”
“Daemonic fury, bound into the shell of a metal beast and set loose upon the galaxy.
