History
Specialising in void warfare, the warband has been under the control of Lord Selakis Myrmillo for some two millennia. The warband has embraced a savage joy in the deep intensity of boarding actions and the carnage that follows. When they storm a ship, they fight with relentless momentum and give their enemies no hope of gaining the initiative or coordinating a defence.[1]
In ship-to-ship warfare, the Voidbutchers make extensive use of Ursus Claws, bringing enemy vessels to range and easy to board. Once they have captured a ship, the Voidbutchers slaughter or enslave all inside then strip it of supplies. Such actions have earned them not only the enmity of the Imperium, but also the Leagues of Votann and Eldar Corsairs. They are also particularly hated by the Rampagers and Black Templars, due to their fondness for modifying and corrupting seized enemy vessels for the service of Khorne.[1]
During the Sangua Terran War, the Voidbutchers were part of Haarken Worldclaimer's warhost.[2]
