The '''Banelord''' class Chaos [[Titan]] is a huge war machine roughly equivalent to a - the [[Warlord Battle TitanKhorne|Khornate]], only dedicated counterpart to the Imperial [[Gods of Chaos|Chaos GodWarlord Battle Titan]] [[Khorne]]. Festooned - armored with images of death and replete in a carapace of semi-organically organic shaped armour, it is not clear whether . Banelords were among the Banelords are corrupted Warlord rebel Titans or creations from which took part in the hellish forges [[Horus Heresy]] against the Imperium. With the defeat of the rebellion, the Titan Legions that followed Horus were driven into the [[ChaosEye of Terror]] themselves, which has become their exile and safe haven.
Over the thousands of years spent in the Eye of Terror, the Banelords have been altered to such an extent that it is no longer clear whether the Banelords are corrupted Warlord Titans or creations from the hellish forges of [[Chaos]] themselves. The Banelords have taken on the appearance and colors associated with Khorne, the Titans' heads have been reshaped into daemonic visages, and flags, kill banners and pennants fly with the symbols of the Blood God. No one knows whether the Chaos Titans are still piloted by their original crew, their lives made eternal within the Eye of Terror, or by something far worse. Banelords embody the nature of Khorne, making furious advances against the enemy, and are strengthened by the amount of bloodshed during battle, their destructive power increasing when the tides of battle are in favour of the Khornate army. They are also under the protection of Khorne, which gives them resistance to psychic attacks. Banelords carry weaponry which is unique to their type. Like the Warlords, they carry immense weapons on each arms arm - however, they also mount a large [[Assault Cannon|assault cannon ]] protruding from the mouth of the Titantheir mouths, a heavy weapons weapon on each shoulder their back carapace (usually including an enormous version of the [[Havoc Missile Launcher]] more often found on smaller [[Chaos Vehicles|Chaos vehicles]]), and a sinuous, prehensile tail that also carries tipped with a weapon on the tiplarge [[battlecannon]]. Due to the nature of the Blood God, the Banelord is effective in geared towards close combat, mounting a unique weapon known as a ''Doomfist'' - a combination of monstrous [[Chainfist]] and [[Power Fist|power fist]] also sporting , additionally mounting a pair of melta cannon for close range firepower.
