Blood Keepers Lords

Herald of Khorne

Most feared of all amongst the Bloodletters are the dread Heralds of Khorne. Driven insane by their perpetual need for slaughter, they attack their foes with a wrath that eclipses even that of other Bloodletters. As a Herald's rage grows, all nearby Daemons of Khorne become gripped by an irresistible madness that lends further fury to the carnage. They hack and cleave their foes until there is nothing left save a mound of corpses and another victory for the Blood God.

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.

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.
• Flaming Attacks
  This unit inflicts flaming attacks. Units hit by flaming attacks heal at half the usual rate whilst 'on fire’ and sustain additional damage if vulnerable to fire.
