Editing Khorne Berzerkers (section)

==Fluff History==

Before they became widely known as Berzerkers, many of these chaps used to be [[Ravager]]s or [[Caedere]]s. They already had the Butcher's Nails screwed in their brains and they were regulated to the loony bin. After the [[Horus Heresy]], these guys were no longer bound by Imperial dogma and were given full reign to embrace their bloodthirsty skills whilst worshiping the Big K. Hence, the first Berzerkers were born. They have since become the ultimate shock troops of Chaos, entering an uncontrollable frenzy during battle.

However, this is not to say that every single Berzerker is a World Eater. Chaos Space Marines who wish to fully dedicate themselves to Khorne usually join a World Eaters warband and undergo the Butcher's Nails. Once the procedure is complete, they are nearly indistinguishable to the native World Eaters they were adopted into.

Given their...[[RIP AND TEAR|''reputation'']]. Khorne Berzerkers were obviously given the stigma of some [[Commissar]]-levels of [[That Guy|team killing fucktards.]] Nevertheless, their battle prowess precedes them and most Chaos Warlords viewed them having more benefits than risk, although it also leads to them being unable to form a single, cohesive and mutually supportive unit. Berzerker bands vary in size and strength, often lending their aid to whichever side offers them the greatest chance of combat and slaughter. [[Failbaddon|Failbaddon the Armless]] and his [[Black Legion]] in particular utilize large numbers of Berzerkers. Going a step further, Ol'Abby has recruited a number of highly-skilled [[Berzerker-Surgeon]]s to his cause, allowing the Black Legion to produce new Berzerkers in numbers that rivals that of the World Eaters.

In terms of equipment, it seems that despite their savage behaviour, Khorne Berzerkers seem to [[wat|maintain their equipment quite well]]. Seriously, their heavily modified and kit-bashed [[Chaos Power Armour]] is [[lolwut|unusually sparkly clean]]. As far as weaponry goes, it is what you expect. [[Chainaxe]]s, [[Chainsword]]s, [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Sword|Scimitars]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Astartes Combat Knife|Ritual Knives]], [[Bolt Pistol]]s, [[Plasma Pistol]]s and other brutal close-quarters weapons are also frequently used. Although contrary to popular belief, Berzerkers are actually pretty pragmatic on what weapon they use and aren't picky to boot. So long as it kills folks, all is fair. Although it is a shame that they lost access their Caedere Weapons from their ancestors however...[[derp|which is strange.]]
