==Overview==
Corpse Grinder Cults are Khornate cults that are initially formed from [[Corpse Guild]] workers who have gone mad from constantly rendering down dead bodies into [[Corpse-Starch]]. The cults quickly discovered that they prefer the taste of fresh flesh to [[corpse-starch]] and easily expanded their ranks with [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromundans]] who had fallen prey to insanity. Most of the Corpse Grinders only wield melee weapons and grenades in battle, save for the cults' initiates, who are allowed to use pistols until they rise in the Corpse Grinders' ranks.{{Fn|2b}}
Under the nose of Guild guild overseers the Cult 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 cult is ready to rise up, they emerge from their hidden lairs in their thousands.{{Fn|2b}}
At the heart of every Corpse Grinder Cult stands the [[Harvest Lord]], who sometimes becomes a vessel for [[Daemondaemon]]s should he they become successful enough. Under the thrall of this insane [[demagogue]] are scores of '''Butchers''', who in turn command the rank-and-file Cultists.{{Fn|2b}}
