There are four Greater Daemons, each linked to one of the four major Chaos gods:
*'''Bloodthirster''' - the physical embodiment of [[Khorne#Daemons ]]. They typically carry a monstrous [[Axe of Khorne|Bloodthirster]]*and a terrifying [[Nurgle|Great Unclean OneWhip of Khorne]]*into battle. They are enormous combat monsters, easily able to tear troops, such as [[Tzeentch|Lord Space Marines]], to shreds. Their only desire is to end the lives of Changeeverything around them as a sacrifice to the Blood God, [[Khorne]]. [[Forge World]*] have released a resin model to represent the Bloodthirster as well as [[Slaanesh|Keeper of SecretsGames Workshop]]'s stock miniature.{{Cite This}}
*'''Great Unclean One''' - Greater Daemon of [[Nurgle]], the Lord of Decay. They appear as large bloated creatures, oozing pus and revealing diseased organs through their ragged skin. They are often accompanied by [[Nurglings]], who gaggle about the Great Unclean One's feet, nibbling on whatever carrion he may discard as he advances. Great Unclean Ones carry immense rusty blades, capable of infecting whomever it slices. The Daemon is very tough from being large in stature as well as numb to pain through aeons of disease.<sup>1</sup> :Great Unclean Ones spread pestilences and [[Nurgle's Rot]] wherever they go, blistering the lungs of their foes and throwing disease about on a whim. These Greater Daemons are canny sorcerers and use dark magic to further spread the taint.<sup>1</sup>*'''Lord of Change''' - [[Greater Daemon]]s of [[Tzeentch]]. They have mastered the powers of the [[Warp]] and use them to foresee 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 wildly multi-coloured skin to reflect its adaptivity.{{Cite This}} *'''Keeper of Secrets''' - in the service [[Slaanesh]], they 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]]. Known Keepers of Secrets include [[Zarakynel]]{{Cite This}} ==ReferenceSources==* <sup>1</sup>:[[Codex: Chaos Space Marines(3rd Edition)#2nd Codex|Codex: Space Marines (3rd Edition, 2nd Codex)]]
