Possibly the most ferocious and devastating of all Khorne's creations, Juggernauts are rumbling masses of flesh, bone, and brass that hit with such immense impact that they push battle tanks aside and split fortified positions in two. An amalgamation of daemonic flesh and mechanical devices, Juggernauts are nearly unstoppable in their assault and virtually impervious to the pitiful strikes of anyone foolish enough to stand in their way.

Juggernauts smoke and steam with an unquenchable rage that always drives them to attack whatever comes near them, even other Daemons. Not martially skilful like Bloodletters or nimble like Flesh Hounds, each Juggernaut fights by overwhelming its opponent with its inordinate bulk and crushing charge. Only properly-warded defences or the specially-trained warriors of the Grey Knights can ever hope to stand up to a full stampede from a herd of these daemonic battering rams.

Some Juggernauts enter battle with a Bloodletter upon their back. Referred to as Bloodcrushers, they are the ultimate form of shock cavalry, combining the unrestrained fury of a Juggernaut with the expert martial prowess and weaponry of Khorne’s favoured foot soldiers. Sometimes Khorne gifts a Juggernaut to a great Herald or even a mortal champion, granting them the chance at entering the fray before their followers so that they might reap more skulls in the Blood God’s name.

Although mass mind scrubbing efforts and even mass executions have stymied the terrible truth of the seven Crimson Incursions, the Askelline Ordo Malleus remains unable to completely block these events from recorded history. One of the more persistent images from these dark events is the memory of massed Bloodcrusher assaults. In fact, some of the most highly valued—and proscribed—artwork in the sector depicts some of these horrific attacks, sometimes in such detail that many claim to hear the screams of the dying amid the thundering hooves of their murderers.

As with the recorded instances of summoned Flesh Hounds, there are very few examples of Askelline cults successfully summoning Juggernauts. In the minds of many Inquisitors this is for the best, as Juggernauts are even more uncontrollable than Bloodletters and would undoubtedly kill thousands in a wild rampage before returning to the Warp.
