The '''Corpse Grinder Cults''' are outlaw cannibalistic [[Helot Cult]]s found on [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]{{Fn|2b}} worshiping [[Khorne]] in its his aspects of the ''Lord of Skin and Sinew'', ''Meat Father'' , or ''Ravenous One''.{{Fn|1f}}
==Overview==
Corpse Grinder Cults are Khornate Cults cults that are initially formed from [[Corpse Guild]] workers who have gone mad from constantly rendering down dead bodies into [[Corpse-Starch]]. The Cults cults quickly discovered that they prefer the taste of fresh flesh to [[Corpsecorpse-Starchstarch]] and easily expand expanded their ranks with [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromundans]] who have had fallen prey to insanity. Most of the Corpse Grinders only wield close combat melee weapons in battle, save for the Cultscults' Initiatesinitiates, who are allowed to use pistols until they rise in the Corpse GrinderGrinders's ranks.{{Fn|2b}}
Under the nose of Guild overseers the Cult grows, avoiding notice until the time is right. In hidden places they worship the [[Khorne|Lord of Meat]]. As the cult is fed on meat so too does the head butcher feed the faithful on promises of freedom and power, echoing the whispered voice in their own head. Slowly, the cult begins to gather weapons and fresh recruits. When at last the Cult is ready to rise up, they emerge from their hidden lairs in their thousands.{{Fn|2b}}

The first Corpse Grinder Cult ever recorded was during the [[Great Road War]], when many hives were still to be brought under the unified control of the Imperial House. Out among the wastes, grave robbers picked over the remains of battles, repurposing the fallen to feed their cannibal clans. Their leader was an [[ash-rider]] by the name of [[Waz Bonepicker]], a savage blessed by the Lord of Meat. Even centuries later, Corpse Grinder Cults are raised in the name of the Bonepicker, their icon a bladed wheel mimicking the great machines of the ancient ash-rider clans.{{Fn|2b}}
