The Shackles of Khorne are a ferocious, if oddly lucid, band of chaos Space marines and fanatic cultists followers. Led by their enigmatic and devout Dark Apostle, Lord Arkhamos Esephotokylanam, who despite being a devout lord of the blood god, is as intelligent and cunning as any Tzneetchian tactician. Their goal, is to consume the entire galaxy in an orgy of blood and violence, and to this end, recruit as many followers and devotees as they can. As a result, those entering battle with the Shackles of Khorne risk not only their lives, but their souls, as these scions of the blood god will capture alive those enemies they deem worthy, and break them, until they are fanatic disciples of Khorne.
