it says this is the codex. the greatest of the deamons fight over the right to a soulgrinder, because it can go in and out of the warp at will, and its body will not dissipate like other daemons so they can be in the material realm for a while. they arent made by mortal hands at all. the same daemon forges that make bloodletters' hellblades and other things like that.
TL;DR : SOULGRINDERS ARE NOT DEFILERS |
THE SPRUE DISAGREES!
Hahah, yeah I was going to add in that, GW split these much better and cost effective daemon from the 40k CSM and gave us those crap daemons(Honestly, I haven't made/seen/heard of a competitive list to use the buggers in a long while), on the assumption that when CSM take over a world, it takes a long while to convert it to a daemon world, as such, only minor horrible things can pop out of the warp, not quite fully conceived. But when a daemon army is afoot, reality is torn asunder and from the rip come fully fledged daemons, and as long as their's enough of them hanging around, they can feed off that tear to the warp.
tl;dr TWO ARMIES MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ONE.
Although it's vastly confusing why CSM and daemons can't ally. I mean, since they slipped the last codex under the doormat and ran, you think they could have offered us them in return. Sort of like apologetic horrors of the warp.
