Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.
I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.

The problem with the Anathame is you need to know your opponents name for it to be a guided killing machine. This makes it good for the HH story since it's all brothers fighting amongst themselves, and even makes it good for assassin work.
As a general weapon, it becomes just another sword, since you're not going to know the names of every opponent on the battlefield, or even the big tough guys that you would want to single out with the blade.

Khorne's axe is capable of literally cutting planets in half...exterminatus melee?
Or whatever sword the Emperor used. if it's good enough for him...
Or the dawn blade.
Or a TH that has a tank on the end of it, so you could smash stuff with your tank-hammer.

Khorne weilds a sword, not an axe.
It is said that Khorne himself was once consumed by such rage that he took up his sword and smote the ground, splitting it asunder for eternity. This fell sword is known by many names including 'Warmaker' and the 'End of All Things', and is capable of laying waste to worlds with a single blow.

Easy enough mistake to make, considering every single Khorne hero and character made by GW uses a bloody axe, and there used to be old wargear called Axe of Khorne.
True followers of Khorne should be emulating their god, and using a sword.
