Khorne, the Blood God
No god is as closely associated with war, violence, and death as Khorne. The Chaos god doesn’t care who fights whom, as long as the battle is beautifully brutal and bloody and someone dies in the process. Every war, of which there are plenty in Warhammer, makes Khorne stronger.
Ironically, Khorne is the “cleanest” of all gods. He is often depicted as demons or devils are often described: large, red, with leathery wings and hooves and an enormous sword that can tear reality itself apart.
Followers of Khorne are known for their bloodthirsty love of battle. Those who worship Khorne and are blessed by him are wilder fighters than any mortal – though not necessarily more skilled and only in close combat. Khorne despises ranged fights. What matters is that the battle is as brutal as possible.
Khorne’s blessing awakens a very literal thirst for blood and can cause weapons to merge with your flesh – or your body itself to mutate into a weapon, with your nails turning into iron-hard claws, bones becoming harder and your face becoming a mask of rage. Furthermore, you will feel an unquenchable rage towards Slaanesh and his followers.
