Blades of Khorne – Khorgorath

The abominations known as Khorgoraths were once creatures native to the Mortal Realms. They were seized by the Blood God’s followers and dragged before his altars, where they were melded together and twisted into predatory forms more pleasing to his gaze. Khorgoraths are lumpen misbegots whose every moment is torment. Their bodies spasm with overwrought musculature, and their innards twist with endless hunger – a hunger not for flesh but for skulls. With an ear-rending howl, Khorgoraths leap upon their prey in ungainly fashion, tentaclelike appendages whipping out to twist and rip off heads before stuffing them into gnashing fanged maws. Any unfortunate enough to witness one of these beasts in a frenzy of consumption is marked by the experience for evermore. Khorgoraths prowl the territories of the Bloodbound in a mindless state of hunger, salivating and heaving with the need to consume. When battle calls, it is the Bloodstokers who will typically direct them to the front, the lashing of their whips speaking to the animal instincts still buried within the poor creatures. Other lords keep Khorgoraths far closer, using them as guardian beasts that will rip apart petitioners and rivals with but a word from their master.
