	In the Eisenhorn novel Malleus, it is noted in some detail how some uphivers will LARP as Death Cultists by dressing in skin tight latex and watching snuff Picts at parties. These idiots should not be seen as real Death Cultists.

	Overall the Ecclesiarchy's opinion of the death cults are that if you're gonna have death cults, it's better to have ones that sacrifice TO the Emperor instead of the alternative. Within their territory death cults do tend to have the effect of suppressing chaos cults in what amounts to a very bloody spiritual turf war. Some cults limit their ministrations to the infirm and suffering, while others prey on the corrupt or heretical. In any case, the fear they instill in the populace serves the Ecclesiarchy in the end.
