Khorne

Overview: Anglicisation.
Although Khorne despises the use of magic and accordingly hates [[Tzeentch]], [[Slaanesh]] is the one he loathes most of all. Khorne and Slaanesh personify two entirely opposing aspects of Chaos, and Khorne considers Slaanesh's self-indulgent sensualities insulting.{{Fn|16a}} Khorne is said to have inherited the instinctive values of martial honour, pride and bravery, some of Khorne's followers using these to justify their killings. But Khorne's most fanatical worshippers know that Khorne cares not from where the blood flows, only that it does - all else is meaningless artifice.{{Fn|16a}}{{Fn|17b}}{{Fn|19a}}{{Fn|20f}} His associated number is eight, reflected in the organisation of his armies, and in smaller matters such as the number of syllables in a daemonic follower's name.{{Fn|18a}}{{Fn|20a}}

Images of Khorne show it to be a mighty being, sitting upon a great throne of brass atop a mountainous pile of bleached skulls centered centred in a lake of blood. The skulls are of all those slain by Khorne's [[Champion of Chaos|Champions]], and of all his slain Champions, ranging from human Human heads beyond counting to gigantic [[Tyranid]] skulls the size of hab-blocks. The mountain slowly grows ever higher.
Khorne himself is most commonly depicted as a gargantuan figure, broad and muscular, with a snarling hound-like countenance brooding beneath his red and black armour of brass and iron. His every word is a growl of inexhaustible rage, and his roar is that of pure bloodlust, echoing across his realm .{{Fn|16a}}{{Fn|19b}}{{Fn|20f}}
