I'm in the mind that "Khorne Daemonkin" as it is right no will no longer exist in the new edition, but will be replaced by "World Eaters" as a force, akin to Death Guards being the Nurgle force and Thousands Sons being the Tzeentch Force. Considering they've basically dropped Slaanesh in AoS releases, this leaves only Khorne without his legion present.

Functionally though, I would expect "World Eaters" to be more or less KDK 2.0, with the Blood Tithe mechanic worked into their special rules while retaining the ability to take named characters like Kharn and Skarbrand, as well as having Berserkers as troops and having access to World Eater relics rather than KDK relics and so forth.

For now it appears that Khorne has ben gutted as a independent force. But seeing as both Thousand sons and Death guard are their own faction now, even in the page of warhammer40, in Chaos Factions, I'm pretty sure that Khorne will receive the same threatment once we have a Daemon Primarch Argron.

That is also worth remembering, the indexes are, at the end of the day, placeholders. It's a lot better than the... 3rd(?) edition army lists that came with the rulebook for free.

Added bolded clarification.
