'''Greater Daemons''' are the most powerful [[Daemon]]s before the [[Chaos]] gods ([[Khorne]], [[Tzeentch]], [[Slaanesh]], and [[Nurgle]]) themselves. They require blood sacrifices to summon, but once they reach the table top, they are a vicious sight to behold and are difficult to destroy.
There are four Greater Daemons, each linked to one of the four major Chaos gods:
==Bloodthirster==''See main article:'' *[[Khorne#Daemons of Khorne]] '''Bloodthirsters''' are the [[Chaos]] god [[Khorne]]'s physical embodiments who typically carry the monstrous [[Axe of Khorne]] and the terrifying [[Whip of Khorne]] into battle. They are enormous combat monsters, easily able to tear troops, such as [[Space Marines]], to shreds. Their only desire is to end the lives of everything around them as a sacrifice to the Blood God, [[Khorne]]. [[Forge World]] have released a model to represent the |Bloodthirster as well as [[Games Workshop]]. ==Great Unclean One==''See main article:'' [[Great Unclean One]] '''Great Unclean Ones''' are minions of *[[Nurgle]], Lord of Decay. They appear as large bloated creatures, oozing pus and revealing diseased organs through their ragged skin. They are sometimes accompanied by [[Nurglings]]. They look exactly like [[Nurglings]] but are far larger and more powerful. [[Forge World]] have released a model to represent the '''|Great Unclean One''' as well as [[Games Workshop]]. ==Lord of Change==''See main article:'' *[[Tzeentch|Lord of Change]] '''Lords of Change''' are the Greater Daemons in the service of [[Tzeentch]]. They have mastered the powers of the [[Warp]] and use them to forsee their enemies' actions, making them hard to surprise. Carrying a [[Staff of Change]], it resembles a humanoid with bird-like features, feathered limbs, and has wildy multi-colored skin to reflect its adaptivity. ==Keeper of Secrets==''See main article:'' [[Keeper of Secrets]] Agile and swift, these daemons in the service *[[Slaanesh]] move like dancers in combat. They read the minds of mortals and know their deepest desires; they then use this knowledge to tempt them into various pacts, tactical blunders or into the forces of [[Chaos]] completely, depending on the situation. [[Forge World]] have released a model to represent the '''|Keeper of Secrets''' as well as [[Games Workshop]].
