The Demonic Horde

The Demonic Horde are a Traitor Blackshield force from many different legions, all focused on unleashing daemons across the galaxy. They do not care about the main course of the Ruins, seeking only to prove themselves to the Chaos Gods. They view daemonic possession as the apex of what a human can become, and wish to spread the good news.

Strengths & Tactics
The Demonic Horde makes use of daemons and possessed humans to overwhelm the defences of its foes, gaining new soldiers with every conquest and unleashing daemons wherever they go. Their main strength comes from their possessed Astartes, who were all devout worshippers of Chaos and form the main offensive power of the Horde.

Personality
The Demonic Horde targets civilian targets mostly, unless their need for more Astartes recruits drives them to capture Loyalist and Separatist Astartes. They are a terrible rumour to Imperial Worlds, with reports of a wave of madness annihilating planets. Even the other traitor forces are reluctant to work with them, because of their religious zeal and tendency to “recruit” from their allies and enforce piety to the Chaos Gods.

Notable Members

 * Gar Kudon - Master of the Demonic Horde
 * Gar Kudon’s origin has been lost, with his current name a title he took up at the start of the Ruins. When the Ruins began, he showed considerable skill at wielding the powers of the Warp, quickly gaining the favour of the Chaos Gods and believing himself to be their prophet. He gathered a following of believers who saw his favour, and left his legion as he believed them tainted by their following of materium concerns over the will of the Gods. As he travelled, he gained more followers and began the process of summoning daemons and possessing his followers. He brings the Immaterium wherever he goes, thinning the veil with his psychic power and calling on daemons to aid him.
 * Marax Sol - Chief Summoner of the Demonic Horde
 * Marax Sol is the title of Gar Kudon’s second-in-command and most devout follower. He was identified by Kudon as having great devotion to the Gods and much potential, and he trained him to access his gifts. Marax turned out to be extremely gifted at using psychic powers, and through Kudon’s teachings focused his talents on daemonology. He is one of the greatest assets of the Demonic Horde, aiding in the possession rituals and on the battlefield summoning additional daemon reinforcements.
