When at a point of great power from local [[warp storm]]s, sacrifices, and worshipers, Tzeentch may call forth enough power to send a Leviathan traveling from beyond the Immaterium, into the material universe. Riding upon the tides of Chaos which surround the war fleets of Chaos and buoyed along by the surging waves of magic and eddies of unreality which Tzeentch's followers bring in their wake. Leviathans are followed by swarms of [[Screamer]]s and other space-faring daemons. Such unreality not only disrupts and warps space around it, but also the Warp and the [[Webway]] as well. Leviathans They fall upon ships like great predators, rending metal, chitin, flesh, and souls apart with equal ease. After time, however, Leviathans must return to the Warp that spawned them, leaving behind damage on an enormous scale.
During [[Abaddon]]'s [[13th Black Crusade]], [[Ahriman]] successfully summoned a Leviathan into the materium.
