{{NecromundaPortal}}
'''Corpse Grinders''' are low ranking members of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Corpse Guild]].{{Fn|1}}

==Description==
They are charged with butchering dead bodies in the [[Corpse Guild|Guild]]'s factories, which will then be turned into [[corpse-starch]]. As a result of their work, Corpse Grinders are hulking butchers, whose arms have grown strong from wielding serrated blades against flesh. However, finding bodies for the Guild is a never ending task, which falls upon its high ranking members, known as [[Pale Consort]]s, to conduct. In order to aid them in their task, Pale Consorts will form '''Corpse Harvesting Parties''' to search for dead bodies in [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hives]]. These consist of [[Bone Scrivener]]s and Corpse Grinders, who also serve as the Pale Consorts' bodyguards. When a dead body is found, the Pale Consort and Bone Scrivener will determine if its suitable to be turned into corpse-starch. If it is, the Corpse Grinders will then haul the corpses into their body carts or hack away the best pieces, with their saws and serrated blades, for the corpse-starch factories to refine{{Fn|1}}. However as a result of their bloody work, Corpse Grinders will sometimes go mad and become [[Khornate]] [[Corpse Grinder Cult]]s, who find they prefer the taste of fresh flesh.{{Fn|2}} 

The Corpse Grinders use [[protein reclamator]]s to create corpse-starch.{{Fn|4a}}{{Fn|4b}}
