Massive daemonic beasts of brass and iron, juggernauts are nigh-unstoppable brutes covered in metal plates. They crush foes beneath their brazen hooves and can shrug off direct blows from all but the strongest of weapons. In combat, the juggernaut charges headlong into the fray, lashing out with its iron horns. Bulky and slow, juggernauts use their size and strength to smash into enemy formations, send foes flying with a toss of their huge horns, and flatten entire ranks of mortal soldiers with ease. Stinging return fire bounces without effect from their armoured flanks, such pinpricks serving only to antagonize the already-belligerent nature of these rampaging beasts. Far more massive than normal steeds, juggernauts resemble a rhinoceros, their hides plated in thick riveted sheets of brass. Its armour is bedecked with spikes and the eye-wrenching symbols of Khorne. The most lethal of all the Blood God’s war-mounts, juggernauts sometimes serve as steeds for powerful mortal warriors favored by Khorne or particularly bold or battle-hungry bloodletter daemons. To ride a juggernaut into battle is one of the greatest honours that Khorne can bestow upon one of his daemons and mortal followers. The beast is a vehicle of fury and therefore only the most favoured bloodletters and Heralds are tasked by the Blood God to ride one forth from the pens of the foundries. Such a demon has earned this honour through long and violent service in Khorne’s name. Each will be a warrior of considerable might, that has spilled blood across numerous worlds and, more importantly, who has acquired a spectacular amount of skulls for Khorne. Of course, the collecting of skulls by bloodletters is often achieved by nefarious means, lies and backstabbing, proving every bit as effective as rampant slaughter, but that matters little. It is skulls that interest Khorne, no matter how they are taken. |
