Blades of Khorne – Skarbrand
8" 16 4+ 5 There was a time in which no daemon sat higher in the favour of Khorne than Skarbrand, marshal of the War God’s hosts. Victories beyond measure he laid before his master’s throne, for the Bloodthirster’s battle prowess was unmatched. Yet it was this very pride that allowed Tzeentch to plant worms of treachery in Skarbrand’s mind, taunting him until – in a moment of arrogant fury – he struck Khorne himself. In a rage, the Lord of Battles snatched Skarbrand and hurled him across the Realm of Chaos as a blazing comet. After eight days and nights, Skarbrand finally arose, his wings shredded and his mind locked in a furious madness.
Exiled from Khorne’s realm, Skarbrand crashes across the Mortal Realms as a force of unmatched devastation. Wielding Slaughter and Carnage, twin axes each bound with the essence of a Bloodthirster, he tears through armies, heedless of any who are drawn to fight around him. Injury only spurs his rage to new heights, and his bellows of matchless fury can burst the hearts of those who hear them. In his matchless zeal, Skarbrand serves Khorne more completely than ever, and foes from the Stormcast Eternals to the celestial Seraphon have known the bite of his axes. | ||

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). | ||
