Blades of Khorne – Wrathmongers
5" 3 5+ 1 Raving, insensate, consumed by battle-lust – Wrathmongers are perhaps the purest expression of Khorne’s nature amongst the Bloodbound hordes. Not for them the allure of lordship, nor even the rough camaraderie of warriors. They have given themselves to the daemonic, enduring the ritual of the Brass Cage so that they might be swollen with infernal power. A Wrathmonger’s blood boils with that forbidden strength, lending them might enough to swing their bludgeoning flails as if they weighed nothing, and from them exudes an aura of fury so overwhelming that it seizes both friend and foe. Homicidal madness is a Wrathmonger’s constant companion – one that they embrace wholeheartedly.
Wrathmongers cannot be truly commanded, even by the most vaunted of champions. Khorne is their only true master, and the spreading of his allconsuming fury is their driving goal. A hot arterial stink surrounds them at all times, for blood oozes from their pores as a crimson mist. It is this vapour that drives sane warriors out of their minds with outrage and funnels new souls into Khorne’s grasp. It also renders the skin of the Wrathmongers perpetually ruddy, until they more closely resemble the daemons of the Blood Legions than their fellow mortals. | ||

If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail.
