Khorne Armys & Anything Related

[dragons3]

I keep seeing responses from members who prefer not to play against Khorne. I would like to know why?

Also feel free to add anything Khorne related to this thread.

I really hope this is not the case. I have spent alot trying to get a khorne army ready for battle, and I've just about got all the components, I'd have to have people refuse to play me. I think people are against it because it kinda plays itsself. One track mind of an army. But that's what khorne is, chop off there heads and I'm happy says the blood god

Khorne is a single minded army,its sole purpose is to get into HTH combat. Out of the the HTH armies, Khorne has the best survivability to get there with a 4 Toughness and a 3+ save. They get a rage roll like the blood angels, They get Chain axes (like Ork Choppas).

Khornes gets a lot of attacks in HTH. +1 for the mark, +1 for charging, +1 for the champion, +1 for mutation, +1 for Extra Weapon or Terminator armor (a further +1 with dual lighting claws) They have weapons that can get more attacks like the Axe of Khorne, Beserker glaive or the Rage of Khorne. This almost garuntees that a khorne unit will chop through anything out there, with perhaps the exception of Genestealers (which can be debated).

Playing agianst a Khrone aremy really isnt much fun, They have some of the best deamons in the game, the Bloodletters, they have THE best greater deamon, The Bloodthirster, they can have a deamon prince with some where in the neighborhood of 10 attacks. It usually only takes one unit, GD or DP to hit you before your toast. The Bloodthirster or a Deamon Prince can single handedly go through an entire army.

This is not manys idea of a fun army to play against.

This was well written Ron, I like how you broke down the close combat attacks.

After the initial attacks by genestealers (21 points) with flesh hooks, initiative 6 and extended carapace (4+ save), without an average roll including rending, their toast. And I would also need to have a Synapse Creature close by.

I would have to add: Acid Maw @4 points (re-roll woulds in the first round)+ Scything talons @4 points (+1 attacks) with a maximum squad of 12 Genestealers just to have a chance HTH. Wow a 348 point unit, I think Warriors would better, if initiative 5 would still allow them to go first. I need to think about this more.

Thanks for your time.

Now I'm just wondering how many Khorne players there are in this sprawling metropolis?

Personally, I dislike Khorne because you don't really play it. All you do is deploy, roll rage, move 6 + rage if applied, make saves from opp. shots, repeat until hth is hit. It is an army that relies on how good your opponents shooting is, and if they can get their assault units out front so they can rip eachother apart.

To awnser your question Dragon, I know Tom has a Khorne army and one of the GW reps at Millenium has one too. Those are the only people I can think of off the top of my head.

BTW, I couldn't help but notice that the posts that you posted in this thread had more lowercase letters that CAPS!

BRIAN, THANK FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE, I DON'T HAVE MUCH CHAOS INFORMATION AND BOUNCING ALL OVER THE INTERNET IS A PAIN IN THE A$$.

ALL CAPITAL LETTERS,YOUR DELIRIOUS! YOUR EYES DECEIVE YOU!

ITS 3:39am, YOU SHOULD BE ASLEEP!

I've got the caps thing figured out now... It's caps all the time from work, most of the time from home, but every now and then we get blessed by the not-so-eye-gouging normal text.


p.s. Don't forget that there is a khorne army lurking in the possesion of the Sons of Kemp.

p.p.s. There may have been a few casualties from past usage

Congratulations!
The mystical ways of the DRAGON have been solved.
I can get on with the rest of my life now.
Good work Wolflord, I think a carrier in homeland security is in your future.

Thanks for response!
