Decimators

The Decimator is an unholy Daemon Engine, the essence of a creature of the Warp bound within the armoured bulk of a bipedal war machine. Armoured with slabs of tainted ceramite and adamantium, a low-set ‘head’ gives the Decimator a characteristic hunched posture which exudes brooding and vicious menace. Decimators are hellish creations – horrific amalgams of human and Xenos technology fused and brought to unholy life by the darkest warp sorcery. They were first encountered by the Imperium during the Horus Heresy when the Dark Mechanicum used Decimators as warp-infused engines of destruction. They also provided the Daemon Engines to the Traitor Legions, where they served the same role as Dreadnoughts. This led these Decimators to serve as shock troops and line breakers.
