The Heldrake is a daemon-engine of the skies, a monstrous mechanical dragon that shrieks across the battlefield on ragged metal wings. Forged from the twisted remains of aircraft and bound with a savage warp entity, it is a predator of the air, diving upon its prey with the ferocity of a hunting beast rather than the cold logic of a machine.
In flight the Heldrake is a horror to behold, banking and wheeling with impossible grace before plunging to strafe the foe. Its baleflamer vomits sheets of warpfire that engulf infantry in unnatural flame, while its razored talons and hooked claws snatch aircraft from the sky and pluck warriors from the ground. The caged daemon revels in the terror it sows, screaming its exultation as it kills.
Summoned to war by the hosts of the Chaos Space Marines, Heldrakes are among the most feared of all daemon-engines. They are living aircraft, hungry and cruel, and no formation of soldiers feels safe while one of these iron dragons prowls the burning heavens above.
