Khorne is a playable race introduced in Total War: Warhammer III. Khorne is the Chaos God of blood, killing and rage.

How They Play

• In battle, Khorne units will grow stronger and get bonuses the longer they are in melee. More information will be added as it is released.

Background

The Blood God, the Lord of Skulls, the Lord of Rage, The Hound

Khorne is the Chaos God who represents indiscriminate killing, violence, hatred, rage and primal survival. Strength and skill matter most to Khorne, but he also has more positive aspects: honor and courage in battle. He is associated with brass metal, the colour red, blood, skulls and hounds/dogs. The Norscans refer to him as "The Hound." To a lesser extent, Khorne is also associated with fire, lava and molten metal. Khorne is said to dwell in his Brass Citadel in the Realm of Chaos, and to sit upon a throne made of the skulls of all those fallen in wars or conflicts, especially those killed by his followers.

Khorne favours melee combat, and so most of his followers use melee weapons. He tolerates ranged combat (eg: Skullcannons) and despises spellcasters and so doesn't have any spellcasters. His followers are usually heavily muscled, often heavily armoured warriors whose famous war-cry is "Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne!," while his daemons are red-coloured and often consumed with mindless rage.

Although the relative power of the Chaos Gods fluctuates, Khorne is generally considered the most powerful of the four.

In Battle

Units

Main article: Khorne unit roster

In the Khorne unit roster, there is a distinction between Daemonic units (which do not break but instead take damage over time when their leadership is low) versus regular mortal units. Most Khorne units are melee with high damage, often having frenzy. They have only one ranged unit revealed so far (the Skullcannon) and no spellcasters at all. Some Khorne units (such as Skarbrand) have abilities that are activated based on the number of kills the unit gets.

Battle mechanic (name not known yet)

Every kill made by the Khorne army adds to the Khorne battle resource (name not known), slowly filling it up. Eventually this resource can be spent on one of 3 different army abilities during the battle.
