The followers of Khorne live a simple life, seeking only to honour the Blood God by slaughtering the weak and the foolish, and offering up skulls to their patron. With new warscrolls, pitched battle profiles, and Path to Glory rules in this updated battletome, your tide of murderous warriors will be able to wage war like never before.*

Battletome: Blades of Khorne is also available in a Limited Edition featuring gilt page edges, gold foil blocking, a red ribbon page marker, and a soft-touch cover. It’s limited to just 500 numbered copies – so act fast to end up in Khorne’s good graces.

Make the blood flow in the name of Khorne with this brand-new update!

Lord of Hubris

Lord of Hubris

Lords of Hubris are warriors whose obsession with perfection has led them into the loving embrace of the Hedonites of Slaanesh. With inflated egos and chests puffed, these master duellists are so confident in their martial supremacy that they even let their foes have the first swing, raining down insults and lightning-fast sword swipes in return.
