The '''Corpse Grinder Cults''' are outlaw cannibalistic [[Helot Cult]]s found on [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]{{Fn|2b}} worshiping [[Khorne]] in his aspects of the ''Lord of Skin and Sinew'', ''Meat Father'', or ''Ravenous One''.{{Fn|1f}}
==Overview==
[[Image:CorpseGrinderArt.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Corpse Grinder Cultist [[Skrvovar]], '''Butcher''' of the [[Lodge of the Keen Edge]]{{Fn|2f}}]]
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}}
==History on Necromunda==
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}}
