Herald of Khorne

A veteran consumed by its desire for unchecked slaughter. Murderous madness paired with unstoppable force.

Juggernauts, or Juggers, are massive armoured creatures that are part-Daemon and part-ensorcelled steel and sinew. They are mighty beasts of groaning iron and brass, taller than a man and possessed of crushing mass. Occasionally, a particularly-favoured Herald of Khorne is granted a Juggernaut to better pursue his master's goals. Such a pairing is far deadlier than the sum of its parts. Should a foe survive the frenzied biting and goring, they are likely to be crushed beneath its brass body, or cut down by the Jugger's rider.

Abilities

  • Locus of Wrath
    Khorne's Heralds find that the pure, unadulterated ire channelled directly from the Blood God Himself drives their own impetuous vehemence to even greater heights.
    Melee Attack +40
  • Revel in Slaughter
    Seeing the bloody devastation all around them causes the lords of Kharneth to exult in triumph, further powering their carnivorous slaughter.
    Melee Attack +8
    Leadership +8
  • 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.
  • 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

    Armour-Piercing Weapon Damage x 125%
    Base Weapon Damage x 125%
  • Foe-Seeker

    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.
  • Hide (forest)
    This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.

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.
