'''Daemon Engines''' can vary greatly in form and function, but they are unified by one factor - the physical shells of the vehicles contain bound [[Daemons]] which control their actions. Daemon Engines have an insatiable bloodlust and revel in violence and destruction. Often they will destroy anything that lies in their path, regardless of allegiance, and so must be chained up until they can be unleashed upon the enemy. Like all entities of the [[Warp]], Daemon Engines exude an aura of death and hatred that can overwhelm a lesser man. Untainted humans near one of these beasts often fall to their knees in horror and the demons presence fills their minds.{{Cite This}}
Creating a Daemon Engine requires that the entity be summoned by one who has knowledge of such things, such as a Chaos [[Warpsmith]], [[sorcerer]] or priest. The Daemon is summoned into the hull of the machine so that the corruption spreads throughout its circuits, gaining complete control of all functions.{{Cite This}} The complex process also involves the creation of [[Weapon-slave]]s.{{Fn|14}}
