As with the Servants of Slaanesh, I had a small force of Khorne Daemons that could be used in either Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. Also, as with the Daemons of Slaanesh, this force started with the Wrath & Rapture Battle Box - which included both Daemons of Slaanesh and Daemons of Khorne - and stats for playing them in either Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.
Originally, the only thing I really added to this was a few Warhammer Underworlds Warbands...
And then a thing happened... THE BIG TRADE - I traded away three Imperial Knights for an entire Blades of Khorne Bloodbound Army!?!
The Bloodbound are the mortal worshippers of Khorne (i.e. NOT Daemons - though some may have desires to ascend to daemonhood!). They are for Age of Sigmar only, and not useable in Warhammer 40,000!
Suddenly, Blades of Khorne became my largest Age of Sigmar Army!?
PAINTED
All the Blades of Khorne - So far!
A lot of these (the Daemons!) were initially based on Sector Imperialis bases (for Warhammer 40,000). At some point I decided to re-base the lot of them on to more generic rubble covered bases that don't look so out of place in either game!
HEROES
Daemons
Korgorand Darforgidath - Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne
Baelyngar Raffnarthak - Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne
Karanak, Hound of Vengeance
Bloodbound
Most of the mortal Bloodbound Heroes (probably need a new pic of the high command...)
Goretim the Reddish, Lord of Khorne, on their Juggernaut, Bloodbatter!
Mighty Lord of Khorne
Slaughterpriest
Another Slaughterpriest
Bloodsecrator
Bloodstoker
UNITS
Daemons
Bloodletters
MORE Bloodletters
STILL MORE Bloodletters
Flesh-Hounds
MORE Flesh Hounds
STILL MORE Flesh-Hounds - older, metal Flesh-Hounds!
Bloodcrushers
Bloodbound
Mighty Skullcrushers
Skullreapers
Blood Warriors
Bloodreavers
Korgoarath!
Claws of Karanak
Judgements of Khorne
Endless Very-Definitely-NOT-Spells of Khorne
Hexgorger Skulls
Faction Terrain
Skull Altar!
Legends
These are mostly Warhammer Underworlds Warbands that were, in the previous edition, included in the Battletome. In Fourth Edition, there were downloadable stats for them and points... but they're not really considered part of the playable forces...
Magore's Fiends
Garrek's Reavers
STILL TO DO
All of the stuff I have... in varied levels of completion!? (some of this has been painted since the picture was taken!)
I have quite a bit to finish up now...
Heroes
- 1x Bloodsecrator
- 1x Bloodstoker
Units
- 10x Blood Warriors
- 30x Bloodreavers
- 3x Gorechosen of Dromm
The priority is to finish up stuff to fill out Paths to Glory forces...?
THE PLAN
- Slaughterpriest
- 5 Blood Warriors
- 5 Blood Warriors
- 10 Bloodreavers
- 5 Mighty Skullcrushers
- Karanak
- 5x Flesh Hounds
- 5x Flesh Hounds
- 8x Claws of Karanak
PATHS TO GLORY OPTIONS
JUST DAEMONS
ONE Regiment with JUST DAEMONS could look like:
Regiment
- Hero - Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne (1) 150
- Unit - Bloodcrushers (3) 200
- Unit - Bloodletters (10) 200
- Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220
- Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220
Total: 990
I'm sure there are a few other starting Paths to Glory forces I could put together from all of that!
SPEARHEAD+
The Spearhead force, on it's own, is about 720 points...
Regiment
- Hero - Slaughterpriest (1) 160 - Any Bloodbound
- Unit - Blood Warriors (10) 220 - Bloodbound, Infantry
- Unit - Bloodreavers (10) 90 Bloodbound, Infantry
- Unit - Mighty Skullcrushers (3) - 230 - Bloodbound, Cavalry
- Unit - Khorgorath (1) 120 - Bloodbound, Monster
Total: 820
Once I get ten more Bloodreavers done, I could add them to the unit to bring the total to 910 points.
OR, instead of the Korgorath, an additional unit of Blood warriors would make this 920!
OR!! If I painted up ten Blood Warriors and added them to the existing unit of Blood Warriors and dropped the Broodreavers (instead of dropping Korgorath) I could have a 950 point force!
LARGER ARMIES
Bloodbound Horde!
From the Bloodbound Army I got in trade, I could put together and entire 2000 point army of just mortal Bloodbound worshippers of Khorne... (once they're all painted!)
Regiment (General's)
- Hero - Mighty Lord of Khorne (1) 130 - Any Bloodbound Warmonger, Any Bloodbound

- Unit - Bloodstoker (1) 100
- Unit - Mighty Skullcrushers (3) - 220 - Bloodbound, Cavalry
- Unit - Skullreapers (5) 230 - Bloodbound, Infantry
Total: 810
Regiment
- Hero - Slaughterpriest (1) 160 - Any Bloodbound
- Unit - Blood Warriors (10) 220 - Bloodbound, Infantry
- Unit - Bloodreavers (10) 90 Bloodbound, Infantry

Regiment

- Unit - Blood Warriors (1)0 220 - Bloodbound, Infantry
- Unit - Bloodreavers (10) 90 Bloodbound, Infantry
- Unit - Khorgorath (1) 120 - Bloodbound, Monster
Total: 590
Army Total: 1960
Doesn't even use ALL of them!? (There is a spare Bloodsecrator and a spare Bloodstoker and ten extra Bloodreavers, I think...)
DAEMON HORDE
I have almost enough to field a whole army of Daemons of Khorne!!
Bloodmaster General's Regiment
- Hero - Bloodmaster (1) 120 points
- Unit - Bloodcrushers (6) 320 points
- Unit - Bloodletters (10) 200 points
Total: 640 points
Other Bloodmaster's Regiment

Total: 520 points

- Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220 points
- Unit - Flesh Hounds (5) 110 points
Total: 660 points
ARMY TOTAL: 1820
While totally cool and fun... there really isn't much her to STOP MAGIC - dispel endless spells, etc...
BLOODBOUND HORDE
All the Bloodbound I currently have!
General's Regiment
- Hero - Mighty Lord of Khorne (1) 130
- Unit - Bloodsecrator (1) 130
- Unit - Bloodstoker (1) 100

Total: 250
Regiment
- Hero - Slaughterpriest (1) 160
- Unit - Blood Warriors (10) 220
Total: 380
Army Total: 1330
(ALMOST) ALL THE STUFF PAINTED RIGHT NOW
I can't technically field this at the moment... there are just too many heroes not enough regiments...
General's Regiment
- Hero - Mighty Lord of Khorne (1) 130
- Unit - Bloodsecrator (1) 130
- Unit - Bloodstoker (1) 100
- Unit - Mighty Skullcrushers (3) 220

Total: 440
Slaughterpriest's Regiment
- Hero - Slaughterpriest (1) 160 - Any Bloodbound
- Unit - Bloodreavers (10) 90
- Unit - Blood Warriors (10) 220
Total: 470
ARMY TOTAL: 2590
That just leaves out one Slaughterpriest... and the Legends units.
KARANAK'S REGIMENT
Because Karanak can ONLY have Flesh Hounds (or the Claws of Karanak) in their regiment, this would be a standard unit I could drop into any army that I want to include Karanak in!
- Hero - Karanak (1) 110 - Any Claws of Karanak, Any Flesh Hounds
- Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220 - Daemon, Beast
- Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220 - Daemon, Beast
- Unit - Flesh Hounds (5) 110 - Daemon, Beast
Total: 660
I could get 5 MORE Flesh Hounds and have three units of ten and then it would be an 770 point Regiment of SPEED and SLAUGHTER!?

Yeah... That's a LOT of options... so many options.. I could field multiple armies... easily three, possibly FOUR starting Paths to Glory armies...
GAMES PLAYED
Below are links to games I have played with this force.
Spearhead
All of the Spearhead games are listed on the Spearhead Armies Page, but here they are again, for convenience
Bloodbound Gorepilgrims
- Age of Sigmar - Spearhead League versus Flesh-Eater Courts - Loss!
- Age of Sigmar - Spearhead League versus Orion's Soulblight Gravelords - Loss!
- Blades of Khorne Versus Soulblight Gravelords... Again... - Loss!
- Sap for the Sap God...? - versus John with my Sylvaneth - Draw!
- Spearhead - Blood in the Trees - versus Amanda with my Sylvaneth - Draw!
Fangs of the Blood God:
- Dogs and Bones in the Realm of Death - versus Orion's Bloodcrave Hunt - Loss!
- Khorne versus Slaanesh in the Realm of Death - versus Orion playing my Slaanesh - Loss!
- Fangs of the Blood God Fight Ironjawz in Ghyran! - versus John's Ironjawz - Loss!
- Fangs of the Blood God Mark Trees in Ghyran - versus Amanda playing my Sylvaneth - Loss!
- Karanak on the Hunt Again! - versus Orion's Deathrattle Tomb Host - Loss!
Narrative Play
Battles played in various Narrative/Path to Glory Battles
Age of Sigmar - Path to Glory - The Ruined Settlement - this was MEANT to kick off a casual Path to Glory campaign through the AoS-YXE discord starting in January of 2025... but ended up being the only game I played. Orion played a few more... but ultimately it was abandoned in favour of Ravaged Coast which came out shortly after this was played... but then itself didn't end up getting played until near the end of the year.
Ravaged Coast
I used a Bloodbound Blades of Khorne force in a Path to Glory - Ravaged Coast Campaign
Light the Fires - versus Matt's Stormcast Eternals - As the Horde moved into the region, they encountered some Stormcast Eternals trying to secure some ancient braziers. If they could not collect their skulls before they were returned to Sigmar, they would surely spill some of their BLOOD - Draw - 4 Embershards gained
Standing on Skulls - versus Matt's Stormcast Eternals - After a brief break while the Ruination Brotherhood charged off to deal with a Nurgle threat on their flank, the Blood Siblinghood of the Slaughter-Gut-Pile once again faced the Stormcast on a plain of skulls and bones of the victims of the Vermindoom - Choked by the cloying war fog and exposed to concentrated Emberstone unearthed in the great upheaval! - Loss - 4 Embershards gained
Blood in the Valley - versus Orion's Soulblight Gravelords - Rumours of a most hated enemy marching through and adjacent valley in the Adamantine Chain had the Horde forced marching through a violent ash storm. When the storm dissipated they fell upon the Soulblights taken unawares... - Loss - 2 Embershards gained
Rift in the Peaks - versus Orion's Soulblight Gravelords - Having been savaged by the Soulblights in the valley, the Horde fell back to rally and regroup in a rift in the peaks of the Adamantine Chain, caused by recent volcanic activity. There they formed a line to hold against the pursuing Soulblights. - Loss - 5 Embershards gained
Storm the Pass - versus Matt's Stormcast Eternals - As the Horde approached a mountain pass, they spied the Stormcast Eternals again, marching on the same pass from a side valley! It became a race to see who could take the pass first! - Loss - 3 Embershards gained
Rise Through the Ashes - versus Sean's Daughters of Khaine - The Horde encountered a force of Morathis followers. It was decided it was imperative that they engage these fellow sanguinary aficionados in a vigorous debate about the relative strengths and weaknesses of their respective blood deities and sacred rites. - WIN! - 4 Embershards gained
Ransack the Encampment - versus Sean's Sons of Behemat - The Horde holed up for a bit for some rest and relaxation, to give them all a chance to recuperate and sharpen their axes... Unfortunately a pair of wandering Gargants caught the scent of their fresh meats and attacked the Bloodbound in their own camp! - Loss - 3 Embershards gained
STUFF TO GET
At this point, is there really anything else I could possibly NEED!?
Oh, no, not at all!
Is there stuff I'd LIKE to get!?
I mean... Yes, probably...
All the stuff I currently have is WAY MORE than I need! I mean, I can do separate 2000 points of Daemons and Bloodbound and have them fight each other!? So anything else I buy at this point is replacing something else or for more OPTIONS.
A Bloodthirster (Greater Daemon of Slaanesh) would be fun... But I'd have to paint everything I already have before I could justify getting one of those! (and maybe play some Age of Sigmar games with these!)
A Skulltaker or Skullmaster could be fun as well. They are both lesser Daemonic Champions. Both both are currently still playable in both AoS and 40K.
There is a Army of Renown in the Fourth Edition Battletome called The Baleful Lords. The ONLY things you can include in the Army are Monster Daemon Hero units... so... Bloodthirsters. You can have four - or maybe five, but only if the only type you take is the Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirsters... There is a part of me that thinks that would be silly fun... but that would also cost $800-$1000 to build, so... probably not...
There is also a Regiment of Renown called The Exiled One, which is just Skarbrand - a unique named Monster Daemon Hero unit - that can be fielded in any other Chaos Army. In any combat phase, if it is not in combat, it WILL attack and "Friendly" units within combat range!? That could be funny too!
