Greater Daemon

Amongst the wide daemonic pantheon of Chaos, Greater Daemons are the most powerful. They are incarnations of their god, embodiments of everything Chaos represents. They are the guardians of their god's realm and executors of his will. Often the Greater Daemons lead incursions into the mortal world, and act as heralds of the powers of Chaos to Champions and magisters. They have their own ambitions and plans, each contributing a part to the great consciousness that is the Ruinous Powers.

In realspace, Greater Daemons manifest as huge, terrifying creatures capable of slaying scores of warriors and destroying battle tanks. They have strange powers and are virtually impervious to mortal weapons. Summoning such a creature demands a high price, for it takes a tremendous amount of energy for a Greater Daemon to corporealise. The price is always a sacrifice, a living being that acts as a gateway into the material realm. The rampant energy of the daemon passing through inevitably destroys this host. As such, the sacrifice is not usually the one doing the summoning.
