[[Image:GrinderCult.jpg|thumb|300px|Corpse Grinder Cultists{{Fn|3}}]]
One of the Corpse Grinder Cults overwhelmed [[Hive Arcos]]' defenses, in 934.[[M40]] and then gave its surviving inhabitants a choice - feast upon the bounty of the '''Meat Lord''' or become food for the Cult. Soon afterwards, cadres of the [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Palanite Enforcers]] were sent to crush the uprising, but failed, which led the [[Hive World]]'s [[House Helmawr|Imperial House|]] to decree that Hive Arcos would be lost to Necromunda for a generation. With the order given, an artificial ash storm was created that buried Arcos for a century and it was believed that this would cause its population and the Cult to starve to death{{Fn|2}}.
The first Corpse Grinder Cult ever recorded was during the [[Great Road War]], when many hives were still to be brought under the unified control of the Imperial House. Out among the wastes, grave robbers picked over the remains of battles, repurposing the fallen to feed their cannibal clans. Their leader was an [[ash-rider]] by the name of [[Waz Bonepicker]], a savage blessed by the Lord of Meat. Even centuries later, Corpse Grinder Cults are raised in the name of the Bonepicker, their icon a bladed wheel mimicking the great machines of the ancient ash-rider clans.{{Fn|5a}}
