Khorne is the most brutal of the Chaos Gods. Bend on bloodshed and destruction, the forces of Khorne rampage about, smashing stuff up more than your average 8 year old in your Gundam collection. The spotlight is never far from Khorne, to be frank - after Nurgle Khorne is GW's favourite Chaos entity to constantly relaunch. SO here we find ourselves with a new Khorne Battletome for Age of $igmar, a few new minis and a pretty cool scenery piece. The Battletome itself comes in two flavours; Lop It Off And Drink From It's Skull Limited Edition and the Chain Axe As a Butter Knife Standard Edition. There's two new daemon characters too, Skulltaker and Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne - as is the way with all the newer Chaos releases, there is always a Herald. Flash Hounds are a big part of Khorne, so for the first time out of the Wrath and Rapture boxed set we get the new plastic Flesh Hounds and their master Karanak, The Hound of Vengeance. Thing to notice about these four releases is that they can be used in Ao$ or 40K - again pointing to the return of Realm of Chaos-era sharing of forces across both universes. Now Khorne doesn't do magic, but they do do "judgements" so the Endless Spells.... I mean Endless Judgements of Khorne pop up too. Blood For The Blood God, Skulls For The Throne of Khorne may entail some sort of ceremony, so what better than an altar, a large Skull Altar to be precise. Games Workshop aren't straying much from the look they set up in the first Age of $igmar starter box really - red plate with gold trim. Khorne is a little more nuanced than that, so it is a bit of a shame to see these so simple wrought. To go with your new forces, you'll be needing some Warscroll Cards too. Interesting to see a Khorne release mainly built around daemons, which seems to be the trend these days. The mortal followers of Khorne might like a little update too, especially from the not-very-exciting 1st Edition Ao$ minis we got.
