Blood Keepers Lords

Herald of Khorne

A mighty Daemon Engine, armoured in brass and driven into battle by iron-shod wheels which crush and mangle all who stand in its path. From atop his macabre throne, the Herald searches for foes whose skulls will make the most audacious offerings. Those plundered from cowards are fed into the Blood Throne's baleful workings, consumed in fire to bring the Daemon Engine fresh vigour. Those taken from the valiant slain are claimed by the Herald and fused with the throne itself, to stand throughout eternity as grim monument to the futility of opposing Khorne.

• Totem of Endless Bloodletting
  The more you kill, the more blood that you spill in His name, the more you will exsanguinate the enemies of the Blood God for His greater glory.
  Melee Attack +8
  Leadership +4
• Daemonic Instability
  As the Daemon's courage falters, their mortal form crumbles and fades from this reality.
• Banished!
  Once the Daemon's courage has failed them, they will fall back through the portal to the Chaos Realm whence they belong.
• Gorefeast
  When the bloodlust and frenzy are at their utmost levels, minor wounds are healed by the Blood God's towering, unassailable will.
• Hellblade
  The shrieking swords of the Horned Ones become more effective the longer the battle rages and the greater the number of piteous souls they harvest.
  Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 120%
  Base Weapon Damage x 120%
• Wounds
  Even the greatest foes can be laid low with terrible injuries, and the greater the damage done, the less able they will be to effectively continue the fray.
  Speed x 90%
  Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 80%
  Base Weapon Damage x 80%
• Deadly Onslaught
  Such is the power and ferocity of the champion, that those who stand in his way will falter against the warrior's impact.
  Charge Bonus x 160%
  Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 125%
  Base Weapon Damage x 125%
• Foe-Seeker
  There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish.
  Speed x 125%

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
• Daemonic
  This unit is Daemonic (has physical resistance, does not rout, is immune to terror, takes damage when Leadership is low)
• Encourage
  This unit provides a leadership bonus to nearby allies. Units within range of both the Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Anti-Infantry
  Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
