Cauldron of Blood

This article or section is about something oldschool - and awesome. Make sure your rose-tinted glasses are on nice and tight, and prepare for a lovely walk down nostalgia lane.

Ladies and gentlemen, the only decently designed Daemon Engine of Khorne in Epic.

The Cauldron of Blood is one of Khorne's few Daemon Engines from Epic that actually is awesome, even if it does look a bit goofy due to its age. This is because it actually looks somewhat reasonable, as well as the fact that it mounts a huge cauldron full of bubbling daemonic ichor.

Overview

The cauldron is used to supply the vehicle's jutting cannon with red-hot daemonic blood; this is fired through the cannon's nozzle, which is known as the aptly named Blood Cannon, showering foes with molten lava. The Cauldron of Blood also features a front-mounted Power Weapon known as a Death Jaw that is capable of cutting foes that get too close to bloody pieces, after which the daemonic machine's massive wheels will crush whatever remains.

Essentially this thing makes a great substitute for the Hellhound as Chaos forces often lack the burny power in contrast to their more loyal brethren. Plus unlike the Hellhound, the Cauldron of Blood's flames as mentioned are burning blood. If there is one vehicle that can personify the Blood God himself, it is the Cauldron of Blood as it is a blood spewing, immolating, choppy, thundering weapon of war covered in skulls.

Shame it has been mothballed by Khorne ever since.
