Those gifts of Chaos and mutations he earned in life remain, only scaled up to suit his new size. He sprouts a tail and horns and fearsome claws. The recipient of daemonhood grows in size, becoming a hulking creature over ten feet tall and bulging with slabs of iron-hard muscle. If a mortal is found worthy in the eyes of Khorne he undergoes a transformation. In order to please Khorne a mortal has to become a killer of men, slaying his foes without compunction or pause and hunting down magic users in particular. These are large and powerful Daemons, second only to the mighty Greater Daemons. Ultimately, all Chaos Champions walk a path to glory, hoping to earn the eye of their chosen patron and be found worthy of transformation into a Daemon Prince. Tirelessly they hunt the enemies of their masters, for their meat is Human flesh and their wine mortal souls. Some Daemon Princes enter the Realm of Chaos to serve their gods on other worlds and dimensions, but most serve as commanders of the mortal armies of Chaos, waging eternal war in their patron's name. Nonetheless, it is common for these Princes of Chaos to retain their intellect and their memory, the better to recall the humanity they left behind. The variations between these masters of misrule are legion.

Īt the moment of a Chaos Champion's transformation, bat-like wings or mighty feathered pinions will sprout from his back, bearing him aloft that he might rule the skies as well as the earth. But for every Chaos Champion who raises their horned head and roars their triumph to the skies as a newborn Daemon Prince, untold thousands perish on the field of battle or end their lives as mewling Chaos Spawn. All who set foot upon the path of Chaos eventually seek this apotheosis, the glorious moment of metamorphosis where they shrug off their mortal shell and become a being of undying darkness. ĭespite the fact that they were not born as Daemons, those Chaos Champions that attain the status of Daemon Prince gain immortality and become the enemy of all that is true and natural in the mortal world. The divine patron of the Champion will elevate him to his side as a Daemon Prince, a being of godlike power, forever bound to darkness and the will of their patron god.

Should a Chaos Champion survive the endless battles and the ravaging mutations granted by their masters whilst still finding favour in the eyes of their fickle gods, they may attain the ultimate reward.

They know that there is a great prize for those who show unflinching devotion. ĭaemon Princes are those mortals who followed Chaos with a deep and fervent faith, pledging themselves body and soul to the service of the Dark Gods.
