[[Image:Banelord2.jpg|thumb|right|Banelord Titan<sup>{{Fn|2</sup>}}]]The '''Banelord''' Chaos [[Titan]] is a huge war machine - the [[Khorne|Khornate]] counterpart to the Imperial [[Warlord Battle Titan]] - armored with a carapace of semi-organic shaped armour. Banelords were among the [[Traitor Titan Legions]] which took part in the [[Horus Heresy]] against the Imperium. With the defeat of the rebellion, the Titan Legions that followed Horus were driven into the [[Eye of Terror]], which has become their exile and safe haven.

Banelords embody the nature of Khorne, making furious advances against the enemy, and are strengthened by the amount of bloodshed during battle, their destructive power increasing when the tides of battle are in favour of the Khornate army. They are also under the protection of Khorne, which gives them resistance to psychic attacks.{{Fn|1}} Banelords carry weaponry which is unique to their type. Like the Warlords, they carry immense weapons on each arm - however, they also mount a large [[Assault Cannon|assault cannon]] protruding from their mouths, a heavy weapon on their back carapace (usually an enormous version of the [[Havoc Missile Launcher]] more often found on smaller [[Chaos Vehicles|Chaos vehicles]]), and a sinuous, prehensile tail tipped with a large [[Battle Cannon|battlecannon]]. Due to the nature of the Blood God, the Banelord is geared towards close combat, mounting a unique weapon known as a ''Doomfist'' - a combination of monstrous [[Chainfist]] and [[Power Fist|power fist]], additionally mounting a pair of [[melta cannon ]]s for close range firepower.{{Fn|1}}
