All four of the primary Chaos Gods have Daemonkin warbands devoted to them. [[Khornate]] Daemonkin are crazed killers who seek to drown the stars in blood, abandoning reason and control in desperation to sate the Blood God's thirst. Those who embrace [[Tzeentch]] seek to unlock the mysteries of fate, believing that they can balance both the daemonic and mortal aspects of their soul. This belief is inevitable shown to be deluded, the supplicant ultimately becoming a plaything for the Changer of Ways. The Daemonkin of [[Nurgle]] delight in being infested by the gifts of their generous god, becoming living vectors for all manner of hideous supernatural diseases. Those sworn to [[Slaanesh]] seek new and forbidden pleasures, believing that hosting a Daemon of the Dark Prince will open their minds to infinite pleasure and excess.{{Fn|1}}
At first, Daemonkin warbands are populated with mortal warriors. Over time however, these Heretic Astartes seek to commit acts in the name of the Chaos Gods. Each act of slaughter or other dark significance ripples through the Warp and increases the chance that their body will serve as a host for a Daemonic entity. When such unholy pacts have been formed, the Daemon is melds with the soul of the chosen in an agonizing ritual. Thus over time the ranks of these warbands become packed with malformed abomninationsabominations.{{Fn|1}}
