Blades of Khorne

Blades of Khorne – Warriors of Blood and Destruction

Blades of Khorne is a brutal and savage faction in the world of Age of Sigmar, whose followers devote themselves to relentless slaughter and bloodshed in the name of their god, Khorne. Khorne, the blood god, draws his power from constant battle, violence and sacrifice, and his servants – both daemons and mortal warriors – are fueled by an unquenchable lust for battle.

Blades of Khorne History, Customs and Weaponry

The Blades of Khorne are an army that represents pure brutality and aggression. Khorne, their god, is not interested in magic or intrigue – only willpower and the ability to inflict death matter to him. For this reason, his followers shun magic and focus on honing their combat skills and powerful attacks that crush their enemies.

Their armies are composed of both daemonic creatures such as the Bloodletters - diabolical beings driven by murder, and mortal followers including the Blood Warriors - elite warriors of unparalleled physical strength, and the Skullreapers who wreak havoc with their fearsome weapons. The Blades of Khorne fight with war cries on their lips, dressed in their distinctive red and brown colors, soaked in the blood of their victims.

Khorne - God of Blood and Destruction

Khorne is a Chaos god whose only ambition is relentless slaughter and bloodshed. His motto, "Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne", perfectly reflects his nature and goals. Khorne despises weakness and scorns magic, instead praising those who can kill in brutal, direct ways.

His Daemon Generals, such as Skarbrand - one of the most powerful and bold of the Bloodthirsters, are responsible for leading Khorne's armies on endless crusades of slaughter. Also Korghos Khul, immortal hero and warrior of Khorne, is one of the key commanders on the battlefield, known for his unwavering will to fight and numerous victories over Khorne's enemies.

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Blades of Khorne in the Game

• Strengths: The Blades of Khorne are an army focused on pure offense. Their units are extremely strong in melee combat, dealing terrifying damage. Thanks to the ability to generate bonuses for dealing damage, their strength increases as the battle progresses. They also have the ability to regenerate units and increase their effectiveness on the battlefield through sacrifices to Khorne.
• Weaknesses: The Blades of Khorne army has no magic and is vulnerable to enemies using magical forces. In addition, their units, while powerful in melee, are often not very durable at range, making them vulnerable to fire before reaching the enemy. Their lack of mobility compared to other factions can also be a challenge in dynamic battles.
