The [[Daemon Engines]]are also armed with a multitude of monstrously large claws and blades, which make them formidable weapons on the battlefield.{{Fn|1}}==History==They were first reportedly encountered by the [[Imperium]] fighting at the [[World Eaters]]' sides, during the [[Horus Heresy]]. At that time, Imperial scholars believed the Blood Slaughterers had been devised as a less costly replacement for the [[Chaos Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] losses the [[Traitor Legion]] had suffered during the Heresy. However as the conflict raged on, it became increasingly common to see the Daemon Engines fighting besides other Traitor forces, who used the Daemon Engines to supplement their forces. In battle, the Blood Slaughterers were used as line breakers and imbued with the singular purpose of causing unrelenting carnage. Most lacked ranged, weapons, however, and instead relied on their speed and armor plating to allow them to unleash their two '''Slaughterer Blade''' limbs upon their foes. Some Blood Slaughterers, though, exchanged one of the Blades for an oversized '''Impaler Harpoon''', which allowed the Daemon Engines to drag their foes into their grips.{{Fn|2}}
