    Hello yes we've released a battletome for the super fast glass cannon god, they're tanks now. We also made a book for the straightforward combat god, they're super fast and don't do any damage unless you overlap 17 different aura buffs. Please spend £500 on an army immediately.

    GW: All right, we need to write the new Khorne book. Our chaos god of bloodshed, murder, war, violence and hatred. I was thinking we make them really techy, hit like wet noodles and as hard as warm butter. I guess it's a good thing I got into them because they just look so dang cool.

    The potential for so many amazing unstoppable tricks is ridiculous. Interestingly, Slaanesh battletome has some good counters.
    To all those hating this battletome, complaining and saying that's is not powerful enough, you are so blind. Blade of Khorne is now really powerful. To those who can see and collect this army, a great time is coming.

    I like skarbrand more now. He has less dmg but in the old tome he needed so much support and synergies. Now he just does his own thing which feels better.
    5+ ward vs range is great imho and was the big weakness of this army. You can screen with cheap and or tanky units quite effectively so the loss of the ward save in close combat is legit.
    Also its great that you dont need to spam bloodthirsters now.
    You cam play whatever you want.
    This book feels awesome and khorny aswell. I think khorne should not be just a timmy army the Brute Brainless khorne warriors is a theme but it is not the only aspect. As a god of blood and war the prayers and also fighting shenanigans should be the thing that a khorne army is capable off.. There is more to khorne than just berzerking rage.
    Ogres orks or gargants can fill that slot better.

    I think a generic Mighty Lord of Khorne with 10 Skullreapers in a Galletian Command Battallion could be very interesting. Because the Mighty Lord's Command Ability would pull the Slullreapers into Always Strikes First. At least in this current season. Plus I like that Slullreapers have Curse built in. If you give them +1 attack from either the Bloodsecrator or the Blood Tithe Table, they're making 50 attacks with Daemonforged Weapons and 6's are mortals in addition. That's tasty damage even at Rend 1. I don't play Khorne myself, so maybe to a Khorne veteran they're nothing special, but I think Skullreapers are pretty solid.
    (Edit: I thought you could +4 Rally Khorgoraths, since you can reinforce them and had a point about that. But you cannot, Bloodsecrator limits it to 3 or less wounds.)

    Bloodletters seem interesting to me? Their base damage is better, and their buffs are both easier to apply, and cheaper than what gutrippaz have access to. 2"/3+/3+/-1/1 is a decent base profile, unlike gutrippaz who need to choose between reach or 3s and can't get rend.
    The real spice for bloodletters I think is actually curse, so you can ping mortals on hit rolls and on wound rolls.

    Yes they are currently endless spells. Geedubs missed an opportunity to make tie them to the blood tithe rather be cast by priests. It's the same thing as endless spells. If they just appeared after a certain level of blood tithe they'd be interesting.
    Where are the special monstrous actions, or the heroic actions ?
    What bothers me is that Khorne armies kind of have to take priests now. As many as possible really. The "warrior heros" are mostly pointless.
    Note that the bleeding icon says no effect on Khorne units...it doesn't say "friendly Khorne units" which is quite amusing.
    Pile on the extra attacks? What extra attacks? there's a once per game from the Bloodsecrator who is just useful enough to be taken in a list despite not being a priest, good old reliable crutch is here to stay. Then there's the wholly within 8" of wrathmongers, and 20 Blood warriors don't fit, let alone 30 Blood reavers.
    The +1 attack for 8 Blood tithe might as well not even be printed, you'll never get to 8, you'll have spent it for useful effects up to 4....any more blood tithe than that will be going on a 20 pack of bloodletters or a bloodthirster.
    The arcane tome shouldn't be available to anything with the Khorne keyword...Most Khorne players won't even want to put the arcane tome on anything...Hopefully it will be FAQ'd
    Just like Khorne players won't summon Riptooth just to sacrifice the goodest boy for 2 measly blood tithe.
    Note that Valkia is still only mortal, not daemon. But worse still is that she didn't get a new model.
    Skullreapers are still bad...they could at least ignore ward saves to make them a little different...
    All in all, yes this book is an improvement over the previous one, then again it didn't need much. Basically they've changed all the fight on death and MWs on death by the murder rolls, that's good. They've bumped the spell ignore up to a 5+ because it's pointless quite often (armies will be casting buffs on themselves, not on our dudes)
    It might be better, but it's an uninspired copy/paste of the previous book just like the one before it was. What a disappointment....

Take the bloodlords slaughterhost and they are a very solid choice. I can see a list around 3 thirsters, a bloodmaster and 30 bloodletters being a meta comp; Unless im wrong about this, but that also may mean you can make almost your entire army alwasy fight first on everything on your turn; fighting one after another.. i.e. bloodmaster > bloodletters, and Wrath of Khorne thirster > Another thirster and have the third thirster take halo of blood.

    Hexgorger Skulls seem like they really nicely shut down Lumineth (as long as my memory is correct and most of their units are wizards).
    Edit: Don't the Keepers have the same wounds and armour saves? Sure they're more likely to have a -1 to hit but I'd say Bloodthirsters are on par with them and cheaper than them.
    Edit 2: NGL, after watching this I am pretty deflated ony Khorne, which is a real shame because they were my first AoS army. Part of my disappointment comes from them coming out at the same time as Slaanesh who have mechanics that are way cooler and flashier to me. GW have written themselves into a corner mechanically with Khorne (and this really showed itself with the half-baked World Eaters codex for 40k), where they've decided he's the combat God and *nothing else*.
    Being so linier is really hurting the design space for Khornate armies, let's not forget the greatest forges of Chaos are in his realm, so where are the big stompy war machines? Where are the blood flamethrowers and skull bazookas? Of all the mono-God factions Khorne should probably have the most conventional shooting.
    Ramble aside, guess I'll continue to shelve my Blades of Khorne in favour of Khorne marked Slaves to Darkness :(

The army seems almost like a control army. Lots of walking into melee range, lots of speed. It actually feels kind of thematic that they aren’t an army that’s going to one shot everything, but they’ll have grindy games fighting over objectives. Honestly, put loads of reaver and warrior bodies on objectives with the goretide subfaction, use skullcrushers to pin an important shooting unit or an important hero in the back of the board, and win that way.

    I definitely agree, healing units doesn't feel right in a Khorne army. It's one thing to have say your demon hero heal himself. That's about the extent I'd say makes sense for healing in Khorne.
    I really dislike having every single ability in every army. Khorne doesn't have any magic. That's unique to them. The day they allow magic in Khorne is the day the game is officially ruined. Just throwing everything including the kitchen sink at an army just to try and sell models doesn't work.
