To join a Jakhal pack, a cultist must demonstrate their loyalty, bloodlust, and sheer fighting ability in a series of brutal initiation rites designed to weed out all but the strongest. Thus Jakhals are placed close to the top on the pecking order of the World Eaters mortal followers, but despite this status they are still ultimately viewed as expendable. Most World Eaters warbands use Jakhals to one extent or another, but some such as [[The Tide]], [[Horkrax's Elect]], and the [[Murder Bringers]] are noted to use them sometimes by the millions.{{Fn|3}}
Massive Jakhals that tower over their brethren are known as '''Dishonoured''' and they serve as the Cultists' Champions. In battle, Jakhal hordes charge into the fray with [[Chainsword|Chainblades]] and spiked skullsmasher maces.{{Fn|2}} There are also the less common [[Goremongers (Chaos Cult)|Goremongers]], which are an offshoot of the Jakhals.{{Fn|4}}
