| |
|
| In [[Warhammer 40,000]] and [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]], people fall to [[Chaos]] for many reasons. Of these, the ones who desire power, sometimes called Chaos Champions, are most ambitious, and thus most likely to catch the attention of the [[Ruinous Powers]].
| |
|
| |
| Those who succeed in bringing glory to [[Chaos]] are rewarded with Daemon Princedom. They are granted a daemonic form and name, given power beyond any mortal, heretical or otherwise, and often placed at the command of an army, or a Daemon World.
| |
|
| |
| Those who fail, or don't succeed fast enough, or who find themselves on the wrong end of a Chaos God on a bad day, or just don't bring ''enough'' glory fast enough, are "rewarded" with [[Chaos spawn | Chaos Spawn...OH SHI-dejrqeqemrwkqerwjrkewaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]].
| |
|
| |
| In the [[Fantasy Flight Games]] WH40KRPG [[Black Crusade]], this is what happens to a [[player character]] who reaches 100 Corruption with 100 Infamy. Should a PC reach 100 Corruption with less, he will be transformed into a [[Chaos spawn |Chaos Spaa...]] ha caught myself on that one, don't want to end up like my previous writer!

| |
| == Famous Daemon Princes ==
| |
|
| |
| * [[Doombreed]], the first Daemon Prince of [[Khorne]].
| |
| * Kraxnar, his bro in the original counter-based game "Warmaster" who was later replaced with some asshole called [[N'Kari]].
| |
| * Some asshole called N'Kari... maybe. Nowadays he's apparently a [[Greater Daemon]].
| |
| * [[Lorgar]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Word Bearers]].
| |
| * [[Perturabo]], Primarch of the [[Iron Warriors]]
| |
| * [[Mortarion]], Primarch of the [[Death Guard]].
| |
| * [[Angron]], Primarch of the [[World Eaters]].
| |
| * [[Magnus the Red]], Primarch of the [[Thousand Sons]].
| |
| * [[Fulgrim]], Primarch of the [[Emperor's Children]], except it's actually just his body possessed by a Daemon. Or maybe not. Shit's weird at this point.
| |
| * [[Sindri Myr]], though it wasn't long before [[Gabriel Angelos]] banished him; seeing as Daemons are functionally immortal, it won't be long till he's back.
| |
| * [[Azariah Kyras]], heretical [[Chapter Master]] and Chief [[Librarian]] of the [[Blood Ravens]] and, apparently, [[C.S.Goto|Khornate Sorcerer]]. He still gets banished in [[Dawn of War II|DoW II: Retribution]], but, again, Daemons are functionally immortal, so he'll be back eventually.
| |
| * [[Nemeroth]], who got it even worse than Sindri: he was killed DURING his ascension rather than immediately afterward, which means he might not be back.
| |
| * [[M'kar]], some loser from the [[Word Bearers]] whose only purpose for appearing in any fluff is get to his ass handed to him by the [[Space Marines]]. Ironically, he's taken more seriously in Grey Knights.
| |
| * [[Eliphas the Inheritor]] as of Dawn of War II: Retribution. Of course, Eliphas is so badass that becoming a Daemon Prince is a ''demotion'' for him.
| |
| ** By which we mean, the Daemon Prince upgrade sucks, so you should never take it.
| |
| * [[Be'lakor]], the very first Deamon Prince (in Fantasy, at least) who was such a badass in life that Princehood was a ''demot''-- wait, we just made that joke, didn't we? Shit. Well, anyway, he led the hordes of [[Chaos]] at the dawn of time, but then he became an arrogant bitch, so [[Tzeentch]] cursed him to Princehood and made him the Harbinger, who would crown the Everchosen of Chaos.
