Overview Khorne on his Skull Throne[16] An image of Khorne[Needs Citation] The name "Khorne" derives from his Dark

Tongue name, "Kharneth", meaning "Lord o f Rage" or "Lord of Blood".[Needs Citation] Although Khorne despises the use of magic and accordingly hates Tzeentch, Slaanesh is his opposite. Khorne and Slaan esh personify two entirely opposing aspects of Chaos, and Khorne considers Slaan esh a weakling without martial pride or honour.[Needs Citation] Images of Khorne show it to be a mighty being, sitting upon a great throne of br ass atop a mountainous pile of bleached skulls centered in a lake of blood. The skulls are of all those slain by Khorne's Champions, and of all his slain Champi ons. The mountain slowly grows ever higher.[Needs Citation] Khorne is said to have inherited a martial nobility and honour, and considers th e weak and helpless to be unworthy of his wrath. His associated number is eight, reflected in the organisation of his armies, and in smaller matters such as the number of syllables in a daemonic follower's nam e.[Needs Citation] Worship of Khorne Khorne's followers are warriors without exception, if only in mind than in occup ation. His followers build no temples but rather worship him on the battlefield. To devote time to building temples rather than fighting for something would mor e likely incur Khorne's wrath than please him. Worship of Khorne is purely throu gh bloodshed, either from one's enemies in victory or one's own through earnest struggle; it is said that any follower who allows a day to pass without contribu ting to this act of worship will incur Khorne's displeasure.[Needs Citation] The battle-cry of the followers of Khorne reflects his desire for wanton violenc e and is feared by all who hear it: 'Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Sku ll Throne!'.[Needs Citation] In the mythology of the primitive inhabitants of Fenris, "Ghorghe" (presumably a misinterpretation of Khorne) is an evil deity, described as the offspring of th e dark god Horus and the dragon goddess Skrinneir, and is imprisoned within one of the planet's volcanic islands after being defeated by Leman Russ[11]. Daemons of Khorne A Bloodthirster leading a horde of Khornate daemons, Bloodletters on the left an d Flesh Hounds on the right.[12] Bloodthirsters - The Greater Daemons of Khorne. Of all the Daemons of Chaos they bear the greatest resemblance to the archetypical demon, having a human bod y, cloven hooves, leathery bat-like wings and horned dogs-heads. They wield a fi ery whip and a massive two-headed battleaxe (which, in original background were daemon weapons binding another Bloodthirster) simultaneously in battle. They are the strongest and most aggressive of all Daemons. The mightiest Bloodthirster o f Khorne is An'ggrath the Unbound. In the last 10,000 years, An'ggrath has only been summoned twice from the Warp. Both successful summonings have resulted in g reat loss for the Imperium as many worlds fell to his terrible wrath. Bloodletters - The common Daemons of Khorne. They are horned humanoids with hunched, crested backs, and their limbs are wiry but are notoriously strong. The y wield blood-drinking blades called Hellblades. They are also known as the Nake d Slayers, the Teeth of Death and the Horned Ones. Flesh Hounds - the Daemon Beasts of Khorne are the monstrous and ferocious v aguely-canine creatures notorious for their ability to track down their chosen p

rey. They are also known as Hunters of Blood and have claws to rend their foes a part once they catch them. They exist for the sheer thrill of the chase and the inevitable kill. By some accounts, the Flesh Hounds were loosed against cowardly warriors who killed the weak and unworthy. Juggernauts - daemonic steeds of Khorne, sometimes granted to Champions of K horne as mounts. A huge beasts made from living daemonic metal, it roughly resem bles a gigantic rhinoceros. These beasts are kept in pens where they tend to fig ht for dominance amongst themselves. However, a particularly favoured mortal or daemonic champion will sometimes attempt to claim one as a mount. This is no eas y task, and the smashed remnants of the unlucky ones are left smeared around the Juggernaut's pens, but a few are successful and subdue one receiving the boon o f being its master and riding it into battle.
