I rode over to my FLGS - Dragon's Den Games - and picked up a few items they'd ordered in for me... and while I was there I found they had a Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut!? So I grabbed that as well, along with some Green Stuff!
Skull Altar, Judgements (Definiely-not-SPELLS!) of Khorne, Lord of Khorne or Juggernaut, and some Green stuff.
I was really excited to find they still had a Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut. I think the Mighty Lord of Khorne that I have looks kind of goofy and I'd much rather my forces be led by this:

It's a pretty rad model, right!? And yet, it's been discontinued!? WHY!?
Well here's why it's been discontinued...
It's Finecast Resin model?!
I get they're moving these all out of production.. But why not replace them with a plastic model!?
Especially when the World Eaters have their Lord on Juggernaut and Lord Invictus!

how hard would it be to modify this model above slightly to make it a fantasy bloodbound character...?
I'm guessing they'll replace it at SOME point... but the stats won't be in the Battletome!
One might wonder WHY I'm buying this older model when I KNOW it won't have a warscroll in the Battletome!? Because each of the Battletomes they've released for Fourth Edition has had an Anvil of Apotheosis section - which allows you to build your own characters and there are ususally options for having them mounted either on a horse or a monster - if you want to convert a general to be flying a wyvern or whatever... you can kind of do that! I don't think they're allowed for matched play (tournaments, etc) but they are fine for Paths to Glory, and that's what I'm getting ready for!!
New Blades of Khorne Battletome is out on Saturday!
