Lord Kallozar Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi all, Going by the fluff given about the followers of the Blood God, the warriors are raging madmen who slaughter their way across the galaxy purely to collect skulls. So with this in mind would it be fluffy for Khorne aligned warbands to have the sense enough to enslave Imperial Guardsmen and turn them traitor guard? Or would Khorne warbands also have sense enough to utilise and convert populations into Khorne cultists? Finally, would Khorne warbands utilise and capture slaves, or would they just butcher any mortal they see? If they did capture slaves, what would they use the slaves for? Cheers.

Azekai Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yes, they use slaves. Those ships and landers don't crew themselves (well, some do, but not all). Besides, you need a few sacrifices around when times get rough and there aren't enemies around and you have to appease your messy angry god. Followers of the blood god, even Khorne Berzerkers, are not "KILLMAIMBURNKILLMAIMBURN" all the time. That is pretty much just Khârn, who, as we have seen in the short story in the chaos dex, kinda freaks out the other 'zerkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I see it differently than whythre. I do think there can be some khornate brotherhoods, Space marines and humans bound by the will to spill blood in the name Khorne, and I'd say that's a pretty common thing. Tribes from feral worlds or highly trained soldiers like the Blood Pact, everyone of them is a servant of Khorne, just like Berzerkers. So yes, a Khorne aligned warband makes perfect sense will traitor guard and cultists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I recommend the book "Legion of the Damned" which has great depictions of mortal, daemon, and astartes followers of Khorne all in one massive crusade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The galaxy is a big place! I am sure many warbands use Vesper's methods- they'd make a good recruitment pool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmonkey0 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Go for it. Khorne needs cannon fodder - a wave of crazed (but essentially suicidal) cultists getting chewed up by the imperial big guns is the perfect distraction to launch your Berzerker assault.

TheDarkApostle Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Blood pact. There's also other warbands mentioned in the Liber Chaotica: Book of Khorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
