Now that Daemon Summoning is part of the game, I've pondered how it relates to Khornate armies. We all know that Khorne is not that keen on sorcerers, but isn't that mainly because he despises magic trickery? How would he feel about sorcerers summoning his Daemons to cause glorious carnage? I mean the Daemons need to be summoned somehow...

Or Khorne Daemons summoned by his rival god's Daemons?

Yeah the "Khorne despises Sorcerers" thing would if I had to guess only extend for the most part to the actual prosecution of combat. Summon them in but then get your knife out and get stuck in.

The act of summoning would be different to combat.

A blood sacrifice or daemonic chant.

I'd imagine actual Sorcerers that use Khorne's daemons would find themselves turned upon at the end of the carnage.

It's also entirely possible that summoning Khorne Daemons is less a matter of arcane ritual and chanting and more a matter of chopping people up into little bits in a manner slightly more acceptable to Khorne.

As far as I know, Khorne despises the use of sorcery in battle as he considers it dishonourable.

He has no issues whatsoever with someone summoning Daemons outside of battle.

I mean, it's probably OK to summon Bloodletters on a battlefield, but shooting someone with space-magic is a no-no.

That is probably the point. He wants blood to be shed by the bark of the gun or (preferably) the slash of the blade. Not the wave of the hand.
