The Bloodcleave: a band of ferocious killers, dedicated to the service of the Blood God and drawn to Kell’s ranks as he began to sack the fortress worlds of the southern Kadatheron sector. To Kell himself they have little loyalty however, and their disgust at the presence of the servants of other gods amongst his ranks has earned them the enmity of many of their erstwhile allies. Nonetheless they know that Kell’s wars serve Khorne, though the Chaos Lord may not admit it himself, and in doing so draws His gaze upon those who stand at his side. Thus they feign loyalty until the day comes to spill the blood of Kell himself, offering up his skull in a final orgy of sacrifice.

The second eight Berserkers are unleashed! Khorne be praised! Like the Bloodbeasts I wanted an icon of wrath to round out the squad and the weird head of the Khorgorath gave me the inspiration I was looking for.
Of course, I’m sure you all realise what this means. With eight models painted and the squad complete it can only be group-shot o’clock.
As usual comments and feedback are very welcome and scions of the Blood God should fear not – more Khornate killers are on their way soon!

Once again, they are looking great as a squad! And that’s a very cool idea for using that slightly abstract Khorgorath head as well!

Cheers mate! Yeah, that head has never worked for me as a head – I like Chaos models that are weird and ‘chaotic’ but that’s one that really should have been given a bit more work before it went to production. I think it works quite nicely as an icon though. I also wondered about using it as a crest for a chaos lord but I think it’s a little too ostentatious for Khorne and too Khornate for anyone else.

Ditto what Krauty said – that icon is brilliant, and what a squad!

Cheers! Yeah, there’s nothing quite like seeing them all together, mob-handed and ready for action! 🙂

That use of the Khorgorath head is great. Looking good.
