Shouldn't Vulture go mad out of all this rage that he have right now? And what about Khorne's daemons? Shouldn't they just keep fighting among each other, once their master is gone? And why should they keep or change their allegiance? They are daemons! They wish they could be free! The only reason for the daemons to serve their Gods is because the Chaos Gods can watch over them and punish them at will...

Vulture did a favour to all the daemons of Khorne. Now all of those guys can roam the Warp freely, enter the Realspace, kill and destroy without fearing that they will be banished back in to the Warp and get punished by their Master...

Just think about it... this post and a couple of others show a misundersatnding of the nature of daemons - daemons don't have allegiance to a god, they are bound to a god. every daemon of khorne is in actual fact a small piece of khorne, a small piece that khorne has given conciousness to (just like every nurgle daemon is a piece of nurgle, every slaanesh daemon is a piece of slaanesh etc).

while there are unaligned daemons roaming the warp they're unaligned because they weren't created from one of the major gods' will. in essence they would be miniscule gods that have been created directly from warp energy, and unless they grow in power they will not be able to create lesser daemons and as such these miniscule gods would mostly have less power than lesser daemons created by one of the major 4.

so while unaligned daemons could ally themselves with vulture the daemons of khorne most assuredly would not. if anything vulture would find himself assaulted by every khornate daemon trying to free khorne since every khornate daemon is khorne. any khornate daemon that wishes to be free of khorne only thinks such because khorne allows them to think such, but if khorne is under threat then every single facet (daemon) of khorne will band together to save itself.

danny does write entertainingly, except when he's lore-breaking which unfortunately is offten, but he does seem to be toning down some of his stuff (or trying to but some of it is still way out) to try and make it lore-friendly. but the problem of vulture is that it's all based on the warp-forge which, while kinda cool, has no precedent in 40k.
