==History==
===Horus Heresy===
Amnaich was among the [[Greater Daemons]] summoned into [[Realspace]] by the [[Thousand Sons]], during the [[Battle for Terra]]{{Fn|2a}}. After the [[Lion's Gate Spaceport]] fell to the [[Traitor]]s, the Daemons were unleashed to destroy the [[Imperial Palace]]'s [[Colossi Gate]]{{Fn|2b}}. While they succeeded in tearing down the Gate's outer defenses, the Daemons were destroyed by the [[White Scars]]' [[Stormseers]] and the [[Adeptus Custodes]], before they could complete their task.{{Fn|2c}}
===Conversion of the Golwyn Belt===
Amnaich was worshiped as a god amongst the [[human]] inhabitants of every planet populating the unexplored [[Golwyn Belt]] in the later centuries of [[M39]], who turned from their fertility deities to become members of his unshakable faith. To reinforce his followers' faith, Amnaich manifested himself amongst them once every generation. His voice was described as ''"rolling thunder in a drought"'', and his seemingly benevolent gaze like the ''"first rays of sun after an eternity of night"''. Such was the strength of his charisma and the favour that he held with [[Slaanesh]], even Amnaich's [[daemonic]] host was perceived as shining angels by the deluded population. Ironically, however, the message that his missionaries preached to each and every civilisation they encountered was one of harmony and tolerance.{{Fn|1}}
