Why Khorne is connected to the number eight is unknown, but it has been so since the warp [[Warp]] first echoed to his fury. His affinity for the figure, and any of its multiples, is strongly reflected in the organisation of his legions – from the number of [[Bloodthirster ]] ranks to the number of cohorts in a full strength legion. It is a number that also appears throughout the Blood God’s domain in the immateriumImmaterium, as eight enormous towers ring the [[Brass Citadel]], and a [[Daemon ]] slain in realspace must complete eight tasks before Khorne will once again give them shape. In the most sprawling of battles within the warpWarp, it is always Khorne’s eighth wave that is the most powerful. Even his mortal worshippers recognise and revere the sacred number, using it in their blood-soaked summoning rituals and carving it upon their flesh in gruesome ceremonies. The seers of many races have foretold that only after eight ages of war have passed will Khorne’s blood-thirst finally be slaked by a last, apocalyptic battle.{{Fn|22}}
