Daemon Prince
 This page is needs images. Help plz. |
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...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 Spaa.... ha caught myself on that one, dont want to end up like my previous writer!

- Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons.
- Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, who is actually possessed by the Daemon Prince. Or not. Shit's weird at this point.
- Sindri Myr, though it wasn't long before Gabriel Angelos killed him.
- Azariah Kyras, heretical chapter master-chief librarian of the Blood Ravens and Khornate Sorcerer. He still gets killed in DoW II: Retribution
- Nemeroth, who got it even worse than Sindri: he was killed DURING his ascension rather than immediately afterward.
- 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 Codex: Gay Knights.
- Eliphas the Inheritor as of Dawn of War II: Retribution. But his upgrade is shit, don't do it.
- That said, keep in mind that Eliphas is so badass, ascending to be a daemon prince is a demotion for him.
