Blades of Khorne – Exalted Deathbringer
5" 6 5+ 2 Every Lord of Khorne has at least one Exalted Deathbringer to serve as their strong right hand amongst the warhorde. They are the sworn swords of their barbarous chieftains, the favoured lieutenants of their warrior monarchs. Brutality has solidified their vaunted positions and seen them rewarded with dark gifts – be it a mutation into a more violent form or a daemonic resilience that turns aside even the most determined of blows.
Exalted Deathbringers are viewed by their lords as both favoured champions and dangerous rivals. They are relied upon to oversee key portions of the battlefield, but the Deathbringers make no secret of their hunger for glory and know that it is best earned within sight of the mighty. Wherever possible, they will fight at their master’s side, pushing themselves to new extremes of bloodshed. Khorne’s faithful are firm advocates for keeping one’s worthiest enemies close. Should the lord of the warhorde fall, it is the Exalted Deathbringers who are best placed to seize control. If their master endures, the Deathbringer must eventually challenge them for rulership in a fight to the death. Better to have had a chance to observe the tactics of their foe up close beforehand… | ||

Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect.| Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.
