Damn. Sorry guys a while back when I worte the FL article I said that Ezekius Titus was the Warmaster, obviously now thats open change. Anyhow a revision of my latest idea. Total and the others suggested a symbiote, right well there is such a creature in the real 40k timeline. The Obliterator Virus, which is a daemonically posessed computer virus which transforms the hosts body into a hunk of organic circuitary. This inspired me to think of this: A virus (or some other paracite) created by the gods infects the chosen warmaster, showing the favour of the gods and grants the host great physical and psychic strength and causes the host's body to fuse to his armour much like a daemon princes or posessed marines, however this boon comes with a price, if the host fails to harvest enougth souls then the virus starts to attack his cells, devolving him into a giant cross between a spawn and an obliterator and destroys his soul in the process, the ultimate punishment. The 'empty' body is then filled with some sort of warp entity, forming a mad soul grinder like creature, however while the soul is gone the memories and awareness of the failed host survive and therefore he lives out an infininately painful existance as a deranged slave.
