Thralls of the Eightfold Cog
The Thralls of the Eightfold Cog are a Khorne Dark Mechanicum Cult, that has a symbiotic relationship with a World Eaters Warband known as the Axes of the Forge.[1]
History
It has been beneficial for both sides and the warband for their part protects the Eightfold Cog and provides the cult with technological spoils and slaves from the Axes' raids. The Eightfold in return provides the Warband with ammunition, equipment, repairs, modifications and sacrifices the slaves in their creation of Khorne Daemon Engines. These Engines are then given to the Axes of the Forge or kept by the Eightfold, who are always in need of more slaves to create additional Daemon Engines. This has resulted in the Warband launching countless slave raids in order to find worthy souls for the Cult to sacrifice to the Blood God. The Eightfold are also aided in the creation of the Daemon Engines by their enslaved Sorcerers, who are kept line with Collars of Khorne and other anti-psyker technologies the Cult has created to keep them prisoners. This technology has been given to the Axes as well and the Warband has since made extensive use of it.[1]
