==Overview==
Led by [[Master of Possession|Masters of Possession]], Daemonkin warbands are seen within each of the Traitor [[Traitor Legion]]s and many Renegade [[Chapter]]s. These formations often serve as potent bands of shock troops that can tear through the toughest of enemies.{{Fn|1}}
The bodies of Daemonkin are blazing crucibles into which the powers of [[Daemonic]] spirits flow. Willing hosts who believe that through sacrifice of one's flesh can true power be attained, the processes of becoming one of the Daemonkin is long and excruciating. Warbands of Daemonkin seek troves of profane lore, [[Warp]]-touched relics and sites of dark power. They learn the names of [[Greater Daemon]]s that might grant them patronage, and perfect rituals of binding and sacrifice. When they are successful in summoning armies of Daemons to the battlefield, the Daemonkin act as ephemeral anchors that allow their allies to linger in realspace far longer than they might otherwise be able to do.{{Fn|1}}
