War rages across the Mortal Realms and the echoes of combat can be heard all the way from Ghyran to Shyish. As blades clash and blood is spilt, the power of Khorne grows, and his followers feel the white-hot glow of his gaze on their backs.
Like all enthusiastic children, they respond to this recognition by showing off even more, doing such cute things as taking skulls and committing acts of great carnage. To keep him interested, they’ve anointed a brand new champion – the Deathbringer.
Not quite yet a lord, a Deathbringer is an ascendant warrior who has his sight set on the prize of leadership. He wades into battle to relieve warlords, generals, monarchs and tyrants of the heavy burden of their heads with his Kingslayer axe.
All muscle and brass, the Deathbringer epitomises the martial prowess of Khorne, his shield bearing the symbol of his god, but sharpened into a weapon of war – they do always say the best defence is a good offence. You can choose to kit him out with a ragged cape, or a trophy rack that shows his current crop of liberated craniums.
This eager headhunter will need to sharpen his blade for a little longer, as his rules will be featured in Battletome: Blades of Khorne. This book is your background and rules companion for the mortals who worship Khorne and the daemons that their violence summons into being.
It’s packed with all the latest tips on how to efficiently shed blood and take care of all that brass armour when it inevitably gets soiled.* Within its gore-splattered pages you’ll also find a fresh new spin on your army’s core Battle Traits, alongside rules for new Armies and Regiments of Renown, and a fresh Spearhead named the Fangs of the Blood God.
This fast-moving force represents one of Khorne’s more cheerful facets – his deep and abiding love for dogs. Two packs of five Flesh Hounds are led by (literal) top dog Karanak, three-headed servant of Khorne. They are attended by the Claws of Karanak, a group of bloodthirsty hunters who worship these daemonic hounds, their twisted pursuit of violence eventually transforming them into half-daemon Hounds of Wrath.
The Blades of Khorne will be coming out swinging in short order, ready to carve a bloody swathe across the Mortal Realms. Keep checking in with Warhammer Community for more Warhammer Age of Sigmar news and reveals.
* Verdigris is a real issue for the Blades of Khorne. Really dulls that brassy shine.
