Hounds of the Eighth Path

The is a violent pack of Khornate worshippers who are made up of survivors from Fleet Quartus. Bathed in the dark corruption of Angron's Murder-Curse, they were once loyal warriors of the Imperium before Khorne took them body and soul. Initially starting out as a pack of rabid killers, lucid leaders have begun to form a leadership caste, and form them into a focused army in service to Khorne. Lead by Brasilus Skullbearer, once a noble Adeptus Astartes Captain, many other pack masters have emerged from the horde and formed a powerful alliance berserker warriors. 
==Notable Members==
*Brasilus Skullbearer: once better known as Brasilus Skarmar, he was the captain of the seventh company of the Emperor's Wrath chapter from the Ultima Founding. When the Murder-Curse hit his Strike Cruiser, the Golden Lance, he immediately fell under convulsions and began murderous frenzy. His flesh swelled and bulged in his armour, and fused with it immediately. His entire retinue resisted the curse, but it did not spare them long. He tore the Company Champion limb from limb immediately, and proceeded to batter the Company Ancient with a dismembered limb. As the violence increased, he tore each of his brothers to pieces, covered in gore and viscera. Utilising the dismembered arm of his brother as a club, he eventually fell upon a squad of Sisters of Silence and followed the snarling whispers of Khorne he tore their heads from their bodies, and bound them into his armour, where they continued to live in a painful un-death. While he failed to understand at the time, as his reason returned he came to understand that he augmented his daemonic armour with a barrier that protected him from the foul sorceries that Khorne so hates. Now possessed of reason, but still wholly devoted to Khorne, he began to organise his pack of hounds and raised up leaders to take charge. He forged the bone and ceramite of his own battle-brother's arm into a two handed axe that Khorne has blessed greatly. 
*Bloodline Eight and the Bloodborne: The pride of the Order of the Stone Lily was the Sisters Nine, nine blood sisters from a single family who served in the same Adeptus Sororitas Order. This pride turned to horror when fully eight of the sisters fell under the sway of the Murder-Curse, only the eldest was spared. Their physical corruption occurred as their flesh bubbled and grew like tumours, before exploding into horrifying growths. The eldest, Palatine Olwyn Thader, was in the centre of this, and swallowed hole but the horrifying mass. The eight sister's flesh melded, and became indistinguishable, aside from the occasional appearance of a screaming face. This gravid orb grew multiple limbs and began to storm through the decks as a shifting mound of horror, catching unfortunate souls and feeding them into horrifying maws filled with teeth. On the eight day of slaughter, the creature, bloated with the dead, and still refusing to settle on a single form, it entered convulsions, and began to vomit up floods of blood, before finally it vomited up a figure. Olwyn Thader, corrupted utterly by chaos, glutted on flesh and blood, let out a defiant roar, and commanded her sister's new form. She was now the Bloodborne, and Skullbearer's new lieutenant. Gifted greatly by Khorne, she is augmented with strength, her armour is covered in his sigils. She has a long bone sword grafted from her own sisters, and stored inside the Bloodline Eight. The Bloodline Eight is eight souls in one body, and each utterly mad. Responding only to their eldest sister's commands, they can form and reform at her command, occasionally bringing a dominant personality to the surface to best follow her orders.
