Blades of Khorne – Bloodreavers
5" 1 6+ 1 Bloodreavers form the howling masses of the Bloodbound warhordes. Though they cannot rival the War God’s most exalted champions for sheer stature, they are more than capable of punching a Freeguilder to death – though they much prefer to kill with axe, dagger and cleaver. They stab and hack until they are covered in the gore of both friend and foe, heedless of danger and determined to win Khorne’s favour or die trying. When the Bloodreavers mass in great numbers and crash against the foe, shieldwalls crumble and armies collapse.
Many Bloodreavers were once tribesfolk who went down darker paths of battle and bloodshed; others were former Sigmarites lured into the Lord of Battle’s service by their own war-hunger. Yet there is another, more infamous way that they recruit new warriors: the Dark Feast. In the aftermath of battle, captives who have fought well will be offered a choice by the Bloodbound – brutal death or to consume the flesh of their own butchered comrades. Those who choose the latter are damned. With each bite, their disgust fades as Khorne claims more of their soul. Soon they are one more frothing Bloodreaver, lost in a cannibalistic furore. | ||

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. | ||
