Cult Demagogue
Looking like The Mouth of Sauron wearing a dollar store knockoff Asdrubael Vect helmet, the Cult Demagogue is one of the main members that make up the Dark Commune.
Overview[edit]
Cult Demagogues are priestly Heretics whose words convince others to embrace Heresy as well and soon leads to the formation of a Chaos Cult, which the Demagogue has command of. They are the religious and spiritual equivalents of a Renegade Demagogue.
Now you may be wondering, "Hold the vox for a second. Isn't that the exact same role as the Apostate Cardinal?" And you might be right on all accounts if one decides to just view them at face value. The main difference between this daemon worshipper to the other one, is that an Apostate Cardinal is a Ministorum Priest gone naughty whereas a Cult Demagogue is the OG Chaos worshipper that has the same status as a Pontiff.
What this means is that the difference is largely both institutional and on status, with the Apostate Cardinal being lower rank but able to blend in and corrupt an Ecclesiarchal church from the inside out due to ingrained institutional knowledge. Whereas the Cult Demagogue has higher religious sway and is in charge of larger cult proceedings.
Also, they seem to be all female; granted it could just be the model's limited range.
The Demagogue is armed with a Commune Stave and an Autopistol for self-defence as well as Frag or Krak grenades.
With half the selection of prayers compared to a Dark Apostle with more of a cost, you’re better off running one of those instead. It won’t die to minor bolter fire.
