The '''Blood Pact''' was a highly organized [[Chaos Cult]] devoted to [[Khorne]]. Unlike many cultist warbands, the Pact fought as a disciplined army, similar in training and organization to the [[Imperial Guard]]. Originating as the personal army of the warlord [[Urlock Gaur]], they quickly became a dominant "elite" of the Chaos forces opposing the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]], and caused the people of the [[Imperium]] no small amount of suffering and woe.{{Fn|4x}}
