Editing Cult of the Possessed

{{stub}}
The '''Cult of the Possessed''' is a warband from [[Mordheim]] and is one of the few remaining examples in modern [[Warhammer Fantasy]] lore of a [[Chaos]] cult being devoted to a power other than [[Khorne]], [[Slaanesh]], [[Nurgle]] or [[Tzeentch]]. Arising after the destruction of Mordheim by a [[warpstone|Wyrdstone]] meteorite, the Cult of the Possessed worships an entity known as the Shadowlord, which inhabits the great pit at Mordheim's heart. It would later be revealed that the Shadowlord is in fact [[Be'lakor]], possessing the body of a powerful [[Chaos Champion]].

The Cult revolves around a '''Magister'''; a Chaos-worshipping warlock who pulls double-duty as the warband's leader and its magic user. For heroes, a Cult may include up to 2 '''Possessed''', [[daemon]]-occupied creatures that are the biggest bruisers in the band; they Cause Fear and start with a Mutation, and up to 2 '''[[Mutant]]s''', which are just human warriors with a mutation. For henchmen, the Cult can take any number of ''Brethren'' (basic worshippers), up to five ''Darksouls'' (former possession hosts who survived after their daemons were exorcised, but now believe they ''are'' daemons, which lets them auto-pass Leadership tests), and up to 3 ''[[Beastmen]]''.
