| - Inquisitorial Report of the SANDMEN CABAL: THE SLAUGHT (sometimes also Slaugth) Inquisitorial Threat Level: Hereticus Majoris Origin & Nature: This race because of its very advanced xenotech is assumed to be of very old origin. Even the Eldar think of The Slaught as an ancient race. Nobody knows exactly where they come from or where they dwell likewise but it is believed (mostly by the Eldar) that they have a home planet from which single cells expand their influence through expeditions into other domains like the holy empire of mankind. Slaught are sinister creatures who fasten on the dead flesh of intelligent species. In appearance, they are truly horrific to look upon, taking the form of a vague humanoid shape composed of seemingly hundreds of writhing, half-melded maggot-like worms covered in viscous, necrotic mucus. Capable of stretching and reforming their boedy-mass at will, they move with an obscene, boneless fluidity and are capable of regerating injury with startling speed. They are impervious to age, poison, diseases and all but the most exterme injury. Their minds are as alien as any encountered by mankind - coldly savage, psychic voids filled with a monstrous hunger for the dead. Slaught science and technology is likewise nightmarish and powerful, seamlessly melding the organic and inorganic to achieve its ends in a blasphemous symbiosis of form and function. The Slaught seem capable of manufactoring strange techno-organic construct creatures of a bewildering variety, carrying out their master's wishes as need be. Slaught weapons and artefacts are indeed so advanced and strange as to appear to be the products of warp craft to the unitiated - a fact that, coupled with their hideous apperance, has mislead some into believing them daemonic in nature. Inquisitorial Threat Briefing: Slaught are considered a fundamentally discordant and destabilizing influence on the empire of mankind. They are to be treated with utmost prejudice wherever their workings or traces can be found. Slaught themselves although very formidable opponents are to be put to the stakes as soon as found and their influence to be rooted out thoroughly. Threat Clusters:
* Acreage: Seems to have been a pleasure and feeding ground for Slaught expedition team of four Slaught. They have been routed out by Inquisitor Gallowglass. Associated cults have dissipated quickly after their masters demise.
