BATTLE PROFILE
Unit Size: 1 Points: 120
Base size: 40mm
Can be reinforced: No
Regiment Options: Any BLOODBOUND
Notes: This HERO can join an eligible regiment as a Bloodbound Warmonger.
The following units no longer have current warscrolls: Aspiring Deathbringer; Exalted Deathbringer. You can use the models in these units to represent the following units as appropriate, provided they are on the listed base sizes:
Aspiring Deathbringer → Deathbringer (40mm)
Exalted Deathbringer → Deathbringer (40mm)
Aspiring Deathbringer → Deathbringer (40mm)
Exalted Deathbringer → Deathbringer (40mm)
 Reaction: Opponent declared a command for a unit within 8" of this unit |
TROPHIES OF GLORIOUS DEATHS: The sight of mighty champions reduced to nothing more than a Deathbringer's grisly trophies is enough to make the staunchest warrior baulk and falter.
Effect: Roll a dice. On an 5+, that command has no effect, it still counts as having been used and the command points spent to use it are still lost.
 Once Per Turn (Army), End of Any Turn |
KILLER OF KINGS: A Deathbringer slays without pause or relent.
Declare: Pick each enemy unit and MANIFESTATION in combat with this unit to be a target.
Effect: Roll 2D6 for each target. If the roll exceeds the target’s Health characteristic, 1 model from that unit is slain or, if the target is a MANIFESTATION, it is automatically destroyed.

1.1 Army Roster
These rules will explain how to create an army roster to prepare for a battle. You can find a blank army roster printable copy below:
Save Roll
The commander of the target unit rolls a dice, subtracting the attacking weapon’s Rend characteristic from the roll. Unmodified save rolls of 1 always fail. If the roll equals or exceeds the Save characteristic of the target unit, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If not, it is a successful attack: move on to the next step.The BLOODBOUND keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Crit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.The non-MONSTER DAEMON keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
Wound Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Wound characteristic, the attack successfully wounds: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified wound rolls of 1 always fail.Companion
Unless otherwise specified, attacks made by this weapon are not affected by friendly abilities that modify hit rolls, wound rolls or weapon characteristics, except for those that apply negative modifiers (e.g. ‘Covering Fire’).The MONSTER keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
Battle Traits
| Once Per Battle, Any Hero Phase |
BLOOD-DRENCHED: As blood gushes down blades, armour and teeth, the fervent warriors of the Blood God are driven into a divine frenzy.
Declare: You can use this ability if at least half the number of units on both players’ army rosters combined (rounding up) have been destroyed. For example, if your roster had 9 units and your opponent’s roster had 4 units, then 7 units would need to have been destroyed.
Effect: The following effects apply for the rest of the battle:
Wild-eyed Brutality: Ignore positive modifiers to save rolls for friendly BLADES OF KHORNE units.
Blood Haze: Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLOODBOUND units have Crit (Mortal).
Weapons of Murder: Add 1 to the Rend characteristic of Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLADES OF KHORNE non-MONSTER DAEMON units, including Blood-hungry Companion weapons.
Bloodlords Supreme: Add 1 to the Damage characteristic of Blood-hungry weapons used by friendly BLADES OF KHORNE MONSTER units.

Crit (2 Hits)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack scores 2 hits on the target unit instead of 1. Make a wound roll for each hit.7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other. When a unit that is not in combat enters the combat range of a visible enemy unit, it moves into combat.
A model is considered to be in combat with an enemy unit if that unit is within the model’s combat range and visible to it’

 Your Charge Phase |
CHARGE: With a mighty battle cry, the warriors charge into combat with the enemy.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is not in combat and has not used a RUN or RETREAT ability this turn to use this ability. Then, make a charge roll of 2D6.
Effect: That unit can move a distance up to the value of the charge roll. That unit can move through the combat ranges of any enemy units and must end that move within 1/2" of a visible enemy unit. If it does so, the unit using this ability has charged.

3.1 Regiments
Armies are made up of one or more regiments, each of which is led by a Hero. You must have at least 1 regiment in your army, and you can include a maximum of 5 regiments. To add a regiment, pick 1 HERO from your faction, then pick up to 3 non‑HERO units to accompany them.Each HERO’s battle profile lists which units can be added to their regiment, and each non-HERO unit’s battle profile lists any relevant keywords it has. The battle profiles of some HEROES may say that they can be added to the regiment of another HERO in place of a non-HERO unit in that regiment.
The HERO keyword is used in the following Blades of Khorne warscrolls:
• Karanak
Those HEROES can join an eligible regiment as a Bloodbound Warmonger.
18.4 Destroyed Units
When the last model in a unit is slain, the unit is destroyed and all remaining damage points inflicted on that unit have no effect. Similarly, if something causes a unit to be destroyed, all models in the unit are slain and removed from play.
6.0 Visibility
A target model is visible to another model (which we’ll call the ‘observing model’) if you can draw a straight line through the air (whether horizontal, diagonal or vertical) from any point on the observing model to any point on the target model that does not intersect any objects except for other models in the observing model’s unit. A target unit is visible to an observing unit if at least 1 model in the target unit is visible to at least 1 model in the observing unit. A model is always considered to be visible to itself.If a rule or ability requires a target to be both within a given range of and visible to the unit using that ability, or to a model in that unit, both conditions must be met by the same model in the target. You could not, for instance, target a unit where one model is within range but not visible and another model is not in range but is visible.
| ||
| In some cases, it might not be immediately clear whether a model is visible. If so, stoop down to get a look from behind the observing model. If any part of the other model is visible, even if it is just the tip of a spear, then that model is visible for rules purposes. | ||
16.0 Picking Targets
When declaring an ATTACK ability for a unit, you must pick the target unit(s) for its attacks. The number of attacks each model can make is equal to the Attacks characteristic of the weapons it is using. In most cases, models attack with every weapon on their warscroll (melee weapons for combat attacks, ranged weapons for shooting attacks), though some warscrolls specify that certain models in the unit are armed with special weapons or that the unit must pick between multiple weapons when it attacks.If the unit is in combat, it can only target units that are in combat with it. If a model has more than one attack, you can split the attacks between eligible targets as you wish.
- Combat attacks are made with melee weapons. The target unit(s) must be within the combat range of the attacking model and visible to it. The model must attack with all of the melee weapons it is armed with.
- Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).
 Your Shooting Phase |
SHOOT: The warriors take aim and unleash a deadly volley.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that has not used a RUN or RETREAT ability this turn to use this ability. Then, pick one or more enemy units as the target(s) of that unit’s attacks (see 16.0).
Effect: Resolve shooting attacks against the target unit(s).
Effect: Resolve shooting attacks against the target unit(s).

FIGHT: Locked in a deadly melee, the fighters strike out at their foes.
Declare: Pick a friendly unit that is in combat or that charged this turn to use this ability. That unit can make a pile-in move. Then, if that unit is in combat, you must pick one or more enemy units as the target(s) of that unit’s attacks.
Effect: Resolve combat attacks against the target unit(s).

7.0 Manifestations
There are two types of manifestation: endless spells, which can be summoned by WIZARDS, and invocations, which can be summoned by PRIESTS. Each manifestation has its own warscroll, and the spell or prayer that allows that manifestation to be summoned will be found in the appropriate manifestation lore. No more than 1 friendly WIZARD or PRIEST can attempt to summon the same manifestation per turn, and a friendly WIZARD or PRIEST cannot attempt to summon a friendly manifestation that was removed from play in the same turn.
