Khorne is the Blood God, the god of battle, the angry god whose bellows of insatiable rage echo throughout time and space. He sits upon a mighty throne of brass atop a vast mound of skulls. A sea of splintered bones extends infinitely in all directions from him, the remains of those slain by his conquering champions. Khorne is a god of warriors, and his gaze is drawn towards battles. He shows favour to those who fight for what they desire: to great warriors, and to mighty war leaders. Khorne respects strength, honour, and martial skill.

Khorne wears ornate armour of black metal and brass. He leans upon a mighty double- handed sword made from the same black substance. His body is broad and muscular and his head has the features of a fierce dog superimposed over human form. Upon his fingers he wears many brass rings, some embossed with his own skull rune. Thus he appears in visionary form to his worshippers, but who can say what shape the gods may assume for their own fell purposes?

Khorne is the most powerful of all the Chaos gods. His chief rival is Tzeentch, the Great Sorcerer, who is the patron of wizards just as Khorne is the patron of warriors. Of course, this rivalry does not prevent Khome and Tzeentch from fighting for a common cause when it is convenient to do so. Combined, these two gods are always more powerful than the others. Of all his brother gods, Khorne most despises Slaanesh, whose prancing fopperies are an affront to Khorne's sense of honour and martial pride. Even so, Khome makes use of the Prince of Chaos when necessary, as much as it may gall him to do so.
