The '''Red Butchers''' was a specialized [[World Eaters]] infantry formation during the [[Horus Heresy]]. ==Overview==During the [[Battle of Isstvan III]] many World Eaters had gone went completely berserk with rage and bloodlust and only left the battlefield in chains. The [[Techmarine]]s of the World Eaters later made customized suits of [[Terminator Armour]] to serve as both wargear and a means of confinement. These suits were , in effect , mechanical prison cells that could be immobilized with the press of a button.{{Fn|1}}

The Red Butchers were unleashed for the first time during the [[Dropsite Massacre]]. Few survived the engagement, but they nonetheless ripped through loyalist formations. Moreover , World Eaters that went completely mad in later battles could be imprisoned within recovered suits.{{Fn|1}}
The Red Butchers were adorned in [[Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour]] and armed with twin [[power axe]]s. The squad leader, known as '''The Devoured''' often had two [[chainfist]]s.{{Fn|2}}
