Bloodletter
From Lexicanum
The Lesser Daemons known as Bloodletters are the eager foot soldiers of Khorne. As a host, they march as one, in formations with supernatural precision, but in battle, they try to outdo each other in ruthless acts of cruelty and savagery.1 2Contents |
Overview
Bloodletters possess bestial, snarling faces and wiry, crooked bodies that reek of blood. Like all of Khorne's creatures they are formidable and ferocious warriors but they are also capable of vile and low tactics.1 2
The Heralds of Khorne, the most veteran of these Daemons, lead their vast legions to battle. Unlike the armies of other Chaos Gods they tend to march in disciplined regiments accompanied by horns and drums, a living example of Khorne's militarism. However, the craving for skulls, bloodshed and personal glory in battle usually turns this discipline into frenzy once they charge the enemy. Bloodletters are notorious for their fearsome advances, and, being Daemons, exhibit enormous strength considering their body mass. Each Bloodletter is a master of combat, naturally from constantly fighting their brethren in the warp as well as their enemies. 1 2
Bloodcrushers
Only the strongest Bloodletters can hope to claim a Juggernaut of Khorne as their mount. Those who succeed become Bloodcrushers, Daemonic Knights that are feared for their almost unstoppable charges.1
Hellblades
Hellblades are given by Khorne to Bloodletters. They are powerful warp-forged blades of wicked sharpness that no man-made armor can withstand. It is said that each Hellblade is possessed by a raging daemon.1
