Changes

Eightbound are created when particularly savage [[Khorne Berzerker]]s are chained in a sarcophagus known as an [[eightcage]]. Within, probes and needles interface with their [[Butcher's Nails|butcher's nails]], plunging the victim into a very battle for his soul. Exposed to the madness of the [[warp]], some engage in blood-soaked arena battles, while others must withstand torture at the hands of [[daemon]]s. Those that fail these trials meet gruesome fates, with some vanishing entirely while others are reduced to a [[Chaos Spawn|Chaos spawn]] or a bloody mess. However, those that are victorious emerge a changed warrior, having been possessed by eight [[daemon]]s. This leaves the Eightbound in a constant battle for their souls , which makes them some of the most terrifying combatants in the [[galaxy]]. Eightbound who have been successfully transformed are massively muscled fighters seeped in bestial immaterial power.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}

Sometimes, the Eightbound's spirit can emerge triumphant by becoming one with the eight Daemons daemons sharing his physical form. These [[World Eaters]] are known as the '''Exalted Eightbound''' and they are even more dangerous and daemonic than others of their kind.{{Fn|1}}

In battle, Eightbound prefer close combat weapons , including [[Evisceratoreviscerator]]s, [[Chainfistchainfist]]s, and [[Chain Axe|chain axe]]s. The Chainfists chainfists of Exalted Eightbound are truly terrifying, having merged with their flesh.{{Fn|2}}
