In the grim darkness of the far future, there is no armour that will withstand utter hate.

Thematically the Brazen Beasts are extremely zealous berzerker brutes who are known to entrap Daemons in machinery. Think Khorne-worshipping Iron Warriors and you're on the right track.

Crunchwise they won't throw out as many attacks as the World Eaters, but they will hit harder and their Warlords can snowball into being incredibly brutal killing machines, just in case your opponent was foolish enough to bring out the Techmarines and Apothecaries. Brazen Beasts can really be made around their warlords, even if you've lost most of your army so long as you've managed to buff them up enough you can still find yourself winning as they'll hard-carry the rest of your army through.

*'''Renegade Trait: ''Rend the Foe'':''' Each time a unit with this trait makes a melee wound roll of 6+ in a turn when the unit charged, was charged, or performed a heroic intervention, it is resolved at AP-4. Essentially turns your units into mini-genestealers. Note that the trait sets the AP of the attack, rather than improving it - so, for example, the trait has no effect at all on Chainfists. If you somehow got an AP-5 melee weapon into the army, the trait would actually ''worsen'' it. Best with low AP melee, especially chainswords.
**All units must be Khorne marked if they are able to do so, '''and no fucking sorcerers allowed'''.
*'''Warlord Trait: ''Carve the Runes'':''' Each time your Warlord slays an enemy {{Template:W40kKeyword|CHARACTER}}, their attacks and strength characteristics are increased by 2 until the end of the game. A stronger but more narrowly focused version of Slaughterborn.
*'''Stratagem: ''Burning Daemonheart (1 CP)'':''' Use at the end of your fight phase. Pick an enemy unit within 1" of a {{W40kKeyword|BRAZEN BEASTS}} {{W40kKeyword|DAEMON ENGINE}} unit. Roll a die for that unit; on a 2-4, they take 1d3 mortal wounds, and on 5-6, they take 3.
*'''Relic: ''Daemonflesh Plate'':''' Bearer has a save of 2+. +1 movement, +1 attack. Like the Iron Warriors relic, but more choppy.
