- Eldritch Council Archmages occasionally ride Purebreeds to battle.[6e]

Chaos Steed

Grave Steed
Grave Steeds are a breed of large horses native to the Realm of Shyish with sturdy builds, dark grey pelts, bone-white hooves and lank manes that always blow in an ethereal wind. They are used as draught horses, most commonly for funeral processions but also tend to be used as work animals but the unnaturally gloomy aura they give off mean most stablehands are not comfortable tending them. As natives of Shyish they are not spooked by spirits making them useful for Dawnbringer Crusades in the Realm of Death for dragging floating Metaliths.[18]

- Shadowblades use them as mounts by the Dark Riders.[6g]
- Daughters of Khaine use them as mounts by the Doomfire Warlocks. They are armored war horses with evil-looking spurs on each leg, runes emblazoned on their flanks and enormous vicious teeth.[2]
- Scourge Privateers use pairs of them to draw their Scourgerunner Chariots.[4][6h]
Steed of Nulahmia
Steeds of Nulahmia are a breed of coal black, predatory horses of Neferata and her servants claim that no faster steeds exist than those bred in Nulahmia. Even the hardened Champion of Chaos Ahazian Kel was impressed by their speed, resilience and ferocity.[1]

Xintilian Stallion
The Xintilian Stallions are steeds native to the Hyshian Great Nation of Xintil. They are tamed by the Dawnriders of the Lumineth Realm-lords, forming deep bonds that allow each to instinctively know what the other will do a moment before they do it. [16a]
Other
