Age of Sigmar - Blades of Khorne

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 
  • 5x Skullreapers 
  • 3x Gorechosen of Dromm

The priority is to finish up stuff to fill out Paths to Glory forces...? 


THE PLAN

Spearhead

The first priority was to finish up the stuff required for a Bloodbound Gore Pilgrims Spearhead Force in Age of Sigmar (Fourth Edition)

Spearhead: Bloodbound Gore Pilgrims



This is the second Spearhead force I completed! 

General
  • Slaughterpriest

Units
  • 5 Blood Warriors
  • 5 Blood Warriors
  • 10 Bloodreavers
  • 5 Mighty Skullcrushers



Spearhead: Fangs of the Blood God


General 
  • Karanak

Units
  • 5x Flesh Hounds 
  • 5x Flesh Hounds
  • 8x Claws of Karanak
Despite being one of the last Spearhead armies I acquired, it was the fourth I completed. Largely because I'd already had Karanak and the Flesh Hounds completed when the new Spearhead army was announced, all I needed to do was pick up the Claws of Karanak and assemble and paint them! 

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 - Bloodsecrator (1)  130 - Any Bloodbound - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Bloodbound Warmonger
  • 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
  • Unit - Bloodreavers (10)  90  Bloodbound, Infantry

Total: 560

Regiment 

  • Hero - Slaughterpriest (1)  160 - Any Bloodbound
  • 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

  • Hero - Bloodmaster (1) 120 points
  • Unit - Bloodletters (10) 200 points
  • Unit - Bloodletters (10) 200 points

Total: 520 points

Karanak's Regiment

  • Hero - Karanak (1) 110 points
  • Unit - Flesh Hounds (10) 220 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

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 heroesm 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

  • Unit - Bloodletters (10)  200 - Daemon, Infantry
  • Unit - Bloodletters (10)  200 - Daemon, Infantry
  • Unit - Bloodletters (10)  200 - Daemon, Infantry

Total: 320

Other Bloodmaster's Regiment 

  • Hero - Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne (1) 120 - 0-1 Slaughter Seeker, Any Daemon

  • 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!?

Total: 380

Force Total: 4730 

Yeah... That's a LOT of options... so many options.. I could field multiple armies... easily three, possibly FOUR starting Paths to Glory armies...


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!
