12" 16 4+ 5 A Bloodthirster is a harbinger of the apocalypse. They are the mightiest of Khorne’s daemons, warlords of his hosts and embodiments of his battle-frenzy. Few have faced these bat-winged slaughterers and lived. Those who have recall a terrible charnel reek and the insane hate that fills the creature’s gaze. So potent is this ire that it twists the world around a Bloodthirster. Jagged spires of brass erupt from the ground at their passing, and lakes of blood bubble in the craters left by their hooves. Each of these greater daemons belongs to one of eight hosts, with its own preferred methods of murder-making. Brutal competition exists between Bloodthirsters to ascend through these hosts, just as Khorne desires.
Bloodthirsters of the Third Host are permitted to dub themselves the Wrath of Khorne. They are hurled into the choicest engagements, driving the god’s hosts to red victory through their own displays of slaughter. Bloodthirsters of a less favoured host often find themselves subordinate to a Wrath of Khorne, however much it rankles. With axe and flail swinging, hellfire spilling from its maw with each bellow, a Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster is a tyrannical marshal indeed, but one who will make any sacrifice to excel under its master’s gaze. | ||

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. | ||

When moving flying units, move them horizontally in any direction, ignoring intervening models and terrain, and place them where you wish, so long as they are allowed to end their move on that spot. Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
