The Slaughtergard (Chosen of Khorne – Halberds) are a Khorne, Daemons of Chaos, and Warriors of Chaos Regiment of Renown melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Omens of Destruction.

Recruitment

• Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel

Description

Those who are physically marked by the Blood God will have set themselves apart from their peers through the fellest of deeds, yet many will not have the mental fortitude to take on the gifts that come with being a Chosen of Khorne. Only the strongest avoid devolving into mindless, gibbering Chaos Spawn, instead becoming destined to grow free of their mortal shackles to gradually take on a more impressive form. Whatever the precise gifts bestowed, these mighty warriors are invariably filled with a mere portion of Khorne’s rage, yet it drives them endlessly into combat like those possessed to reap skulls or die a glorious death.

Attributes

• Halberd Infantry
• ▲ 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-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
• ▲ Frenzy: Units with frenzy cause more damage while their leadership is high.
• ▲ Charge Defence Against Large Foes: When standing and bracing against a charge of large enemies (such as cavalry or monsters) this unit will negate the enemy's charge bonus.
