Ka'Bandha

Ka'Bandha is a Greater Daemon of the Blood God Khorne, known as a Bloodthirster.

History
Within the pantheon of the Blood God, Ka'Bahnda is regarded as one his most prolific killers. He is a murderous engine of destruction, slaughtering in exalted joy for his lord Khorne. He first appeared during the dark days of the Horus Heresy in M31 upon the planet of Signus Prime located in the tri-star system known as the Signus Cluster. For untold generations this system had been the centre for human civilisation and industrialisation. But it soon fell prey to the whims of the Chaos Gods, whose hidden witch-cabals and summoned Daemons rose up in violent insurrection and seized power. Overnight, they turned the once industrious system into a Realm of Chaos, and a dominion of Daemons. The entire system became a charnel house and a place of evil. To rid himself of a potentially troublesome Loyalist Legion, the recently-corrupted Warmaster Horus dispatched his Brother Primarch Sanguinius and his Blood Angels Legion to the sector where they would be caught unawares and destroyed by the Forces of Chaos. The valiant Space Marines were quickly assaulted by the daemonic host as they entered the system. Despite the fact that they had never before fought against such a foe, the Blood Angels were sure that they would prevail. Discovering the rotten heart at its centre, Sanguinius and his Blood Angels assaulted the world of Signus Prime and its daemonic hordes.

Amidst the carnage, thousands of loyal Blood Angels were cut down by the foul hordes of Daemons. Soon the Plains of the Damned became awash in blood as the Blood Angels forced their way into the very heart of the Daemon Lord's realm. On the battlefields of Signus, Sanguinius came face-to-face with the powerful Ka'bandha, a Greater Daemon of Khorne, for the first time. The Daemon taunted the Primarch, revealing Horus's treachery. Enraged, the angelic Primarch fought the brutal Bloodthirster in single combat. Seizing the initiative during the battle, he surprised Bloodthirster with his frenzied assault, stabbing his sword into the daemon's chest, ripping open a gaping wound. The massive creature roared in fury and pain, lashing out with his whip at the Primarch's legs. Sanguinius was momentarily unbalanced as his legs were crushed in the whip's coils. He then smashed Sanguinius to the ground with the flat of his axe. The winged hero was stunned, helpless before the Daemon's wrath. As his vision cleared he looked up at the mighty monster towering over him. The Greater Daemon taunted him one final time, let out a mighty bellow and then struck out across the battlefield, slaughtering 500 Space Marines with huge swathes of his mighty axe. They psychic backlash of the deaths of so many of his sons suddenly blasted Sanguinius into unconsciousness.

It would not be until the closing days of the Horus Heresy that Sanguinius would once again be confronted by the vile Daemon Lord. During the Battle of Terra, the Bloodthirster confronted the Primarch atop the Ultimate Gate, before the Emperor's Throne Room. The Greater Daemon struck Sanguinius, casting the angel upon the borken stone. Preparing to strike a killing blow, the Blood Angels' Primarch called upon his last reserves of strength and power. With a massive effort, he confronted the Greater Daemon for the last time. Leaping upon the Bloodthirster, he seized it about the wrist and ankle and rose up high into the air, then he smashed it across his knee, breaking the creature's back with a powerful crack. He then swung the body of Ka'bandha around and hurled the broken behemoth into the midst of the daemonic host, slamming the Ultimate Gate shut against the ravening hordes.
