Blades of Khorne – Realmgore Ritualist
5" 5 5+ 2 Khorne despises magic, believing that to slay a foe with sorcery is an insult to the warrior’s creed. Yet bloody ritual is central to the culture of his mortal worshippers, who believe that through such acts they draw his favour. The Realmgore Ritualists stand at the heart of this contradiction. Though as lethally capable as any Bloodbound marauder, they see the taking of lives as tedious. Rather, they would cut the throat of the realms and see geysers of liquid earthblood gush forth. A Realmgore Ritualist knows the runes of desecration that will develop into splintering world-wounds and the invocations that will call forth waves of gore. As ichor flows in rivers and rains from the sky, a murder-trance seizes nearby Bloodbound, seeing them abandon their last vestiges of restraint.
A Ritualist’s ceremonies can only be performed with a blade thoroughly wetted in mortal blood. Prisoners will be sacrificed without pause to provide this sacred libation, but blood taken in honest battle is more pleasing to Khorne. The sacrificial daggers wielded by the Realmgore Ritualists are relics anointed in atrocity, and merely a single cut from such a weapon can see a foe rapidly and violently exsanguinated. | ||

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). | ||
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.
