A Master of Executions

Masters of Executions are Khorne-affiliated Chaos Space Marines who have given their entire existence to the art of killing with melee attacks and now bestride battlefields like gods of war, that use warp-enhanced senses to seek their prey. They sometimes lead the forces of Chaos to battle and are known to favour wielding Axes of Dismemberment.[1]

Masters of Execution specialize in the slaying of enemy champions, sacrificing them to the Dark Gods in a ritual that sees his hunger for death grow even stronger. Through sorcerous rituals, they are able to attune their murderous senses to the currents of the Warp, allowing them to see the souls of their foes. Some even go so far as to gouge out one of their eyes to allow currents to coalesce in the raw and empty socket. Thus even on the most anarchic battlefield, a Master of Execution can pick out his prey. Within a warband, Masters of Execution are often used to mete out punishment to those who seek to usurp the rule of a Chaos Lord, often in the form of a gladiatorial duel.[2]

The World Eaters are known to utilize large amounts of Masters of Executions.
