The Ultimate Guide to the Blades of Khorne

June 2017·pp. 108–115

THE SHORT VERSION

The guide follows mortal warriors from the temptations of Chaos through Khorne’s trials into Bloodbound hierarchies, champions and supporting priests, smiths and standard bearers. It then explains how slaughter draws daemonic armies into reality and distinguishes Bloodletters, Juggernauts, engines, Heralds and Bloodthirsters, stressing that the host’s apparent frenzy can conceal experienced battlefield command.
