From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
→Culture
On their homeworld these riders challenge one another for position and wealth in the hierarchy of the clan. These fights are often to the death and it is not uncommon for the losers head to be fashioned into drinking vessel. The more powerful a clansman is, the more and more artful the heads cups he has to display. It is no surprise that the Sa-Khan and ruler of the Attilans carries the title king of the thousand heads.
Attilan culture is feudal, at best; any settled civilization that happens to spring up upon the world is soon crushed by hordes of horse-riding barbarians.
The most important component of Attilan culture is the horse. The horses of Attila are hardy, compact and vicious animals, from which their riders may, in emergency situations, draw off small quantities blood to enable their riders to operate the behind hostile lines for long periods.
