Blades of Khorne – Blood Warriors
5" 2 3+ 1 Armed with brutalising axes, monstrous cleavers and spiked gauntlets, the Blood Warriors hack and hew without mercy. They are the iron heart of a Bloodbound warhorde, killers chosen by their god and commanded to commit great slaughter in his name. Relentlessness is their hallmark, for each knows full well that Khorne cares not from where the blood flows and that their deaths are welcomed as eagerly as any other. A Blood Warrior’s every moment is spent in service to the Lord of Battles. Even when they fall, they will spend the last of their strength attempting to drag the foe with them as one final sacrifice for their god.
A Blood Warrior’s armour is not forged conventionally. Rather, a soul chosen by Khorne will undergo the harrowing Red Baptism. The god’s favour will manifest as their skin becomes coated in scalding blood. This then scabs over and hardens into plate, and for the remainder of their days, a boundless battle fury will seize the wearer. Blood Warriors typically emerge from a Bloodbound tribe, but not always. Even one who has fought against a Khornate army may on rare occasion be subjected to the Red Baptism if Khorne looks on them approvingly. | ||

32.2 Objective Control
At the start of the first battle round and at the end of each turn, follow this sequence for each objective in an order chosen by the active player:- Starting with the active player, each player determines the control score of each of their units that is contesting that objective. A unit’s control score is the combined Control characteristics of all the models in that unit that are contesting the objective. Some abilities modify a unit’s control score, but it cannot be reduced to less than 1.
- Each player adds up the control scores of all of their units contesting that objective. This is their army control score for that objective.
- The players compare their army control scores for that objective. If one player’s score is higher, that player gains control of that objective. Once a player gains control of an objective, it remains under their control until their opponent gains control of it.
| Sometimes objective markers get accidentally nudged while you are moving models around. This is perfectly fine - just remember to put them back in their proper positions when determining objective control. | ||
