Khorne, the Blood God, is the Chaos God of war, rage, honour, and slaughter. He is the most straightforward of the Chaos Gods — he demands blood and skulls, and cares nothing for sorcery or subtlety. His realm is a vast brass wasteland of fortresses and battlefields, where the greatest warriors of all time fight eternally. Khorne is the most powerful of the Chaos Gods in terms of raw martial might.

Khorne's power grows with every act of violence, regardless of who commits it. His Bloodthirsters have led countless invasions of the mortal world, and his mortal champions — Chaos Warriors devoted to the Blood God — are the most feared warriors in existence. The Skullcrusher legions and the Brass Stampede have shattered armies across the Old World. Khorne despises Slaanesh above all others, and the two gods are in eternal conflict.

Khorne's forces are pure, overwhelming aggression. Bloodletters are daemonic infantry armed with Hellblades that can cut through almost anything. Bloodcrushers — Bloodletters riding Juggernauts of Khorne — are unstoppable shock cavalry. Flesh Hounds track enemies relentlessly. The Bloodthirster — Khorne's Greater Daemon — is the most powerful combat daemon in existence, a towering engine of destruction.

Khorne's followers are warriors who have given themselves entirely to rage and slaughter. There is no magic in Khorne's service — he despises sorcery as a coward's weapon. His champions compete to offer the most skulls to the Skull Throne. The Berserkers of Khorne fight in a frenzy of violence, feeling no pain and knowing no fear. Honour in battle is important to Khorne — he values worthy opponents and despises those who kill the weak.
