Badge of the World Eaters
Urthak Skullripper is a Chaos Lord of the World Eaters Legion who led his warband of Chaos Space Marines through Warp Storm Örgvayr to invade Greater Thurian League space in the galactic core after the formation of the Great Rift in what became known as the Battle of Örgvayr.
Joining with the forces of his fellow World Eater Chaos Lord Hakatar and the Nurglite Heretic Astartes of The Purge, Urthak's forces assaulted the Kin World of Törg, trapping the Kin Cthonian Guild miners there within their besieged harvester fortresses. A rescue force of Oathbands belonging to the Thurian Kindred of Vôrtun arrived at Törg under the overall command of Kâhl Ûthar the Destined and succeeded in driving off the Chaos forces long enough for the Kin to rescue their miners and a significant amount of the valuable resources they had mined from the volcanic world.
However, during the battle, Urthak succeeded in leading a massed teleport assault of Chaos Terminators that slew the Grimnyr Khôhn and her bodyguards. In response, the surviving Cthonians and many of the Hearthkyn who fought on Törg have since formed the Grudgeband of Khôhn -- they will be avenged upon Urthak Skullripper or die trying.
