==Disciplines and Factions==
Viewing themselves as artists and master craftsmen, Haemonculi have developed many disciplines and specialties specialities to their twisted work. These include:{{Fn|2a}}*'''Nemesines''': These Haemonculi seek the best ways to kill every creature in the material world and beyond. The 'Ever-Nemesines' (or ''Ilynneadhs'' in [[Eldar Language|Eldar]]) take this art a step further, seeking to kill off ephemeral concepts such as hope and joy across entire [[sector]]s, erase knowledge or enlightenment from the [[galaxyGalaxy]], or slay great visionaries and leaders.{{Fn|2a}}
*'''Black Cornucopians''': This discipline revolves around the concept that all of reality is theirs for the taking. As such, they are expert plunderers and are often architects of large-scale raids. Like [[Urien Rakarth]], they often stock their own private pocket dimensions with enough victims to see them through centuries of isolation.{{Fn|2a}}
*'''Nadirists''': These Haemonculi embrace sin and corruption more so than even their brother [[Coven]]s. For them, depravity is an aim in and of itself. They seek to become gods not by the creation of malefic angels but by becoming the embodiment of pure evil.{{Fn|2a}}
*'''Phoenex''': A hidden offshoot of the [[Ever-Nemesines]]. They seek to forge the Eldar race anew by the means of exterminating their own kind, be they [[Commorragh]], [[Craftworld]]ers, [[Harlequin]]s, or [[Exodite]]s. They believe that should the Eldar become extinct, [[Ynnead]] will be awakaned and the spiritual malaise of the Eldar lifted forever. They are the most secret of all brotherhoods, for their eagerness to see their brethren slain could see them undone. It is rumored rumoured that their philosophy is not limited to Commorragh, and that the Harlequins and even Craftworld leaders may share their goal.{{Fn|2a}}*'''Scarlet Epicureans''': Perhaps the closest spiritual descendants of the old [[Eldar Empire]] that led to the birth of [[Slaanesh]]. They revel in ever every iota of sensation. Some of these maniacal orgiasts attack the military forces of realspace in order to invite unusual varieties of death, savouring the sublime moment when their lives are snuffed out. After drinking in their own last moments like a vintage draught, they will be regrown in the depths of Commorragh.{{Fn|2a}}
*'''Apparitians''': Make their lairs in mirrors and delight in the capture of the vain.{{Fn|2a}}
*'''Vilethi''': Named for the [[Dark Muse]] [[Vileth]], they take part in Realspace raids purely to showcase their own superiority.{{Fn|2a}}
