This September is very much a celebration of the Blood God, and the Community Painting Competition is themed to fit.
We want to see your entry on the theme of Khorne.

As a KDK player, GW has been givin' me the 'ol slow jerk since I heard about Traitor's Hate. I really hope they can give me the 'ol big finish.

On the website the moderator said the book wasn't about KDK:

Warhammer 40,000 Hey Kev,
This book is very defiantly the forces of a Black Crusade, rather than a Khorne Daemonkin supplement.

There may be fun ally combinations, though.

**Slayer-Fan123**

Well Gorepack is literally one of the coolest formations out there, so most allies will be involved in that I imagine.

They're hyping Khorne. There are rumors Kharn is going to be playable in KDK. It would a missed opportunity to add Kharn and not a Kharn formation of some kind, which may also be allowed in KDK formations. No one said it was a KDK book.

Ally combos are somewhat of a waste with a main KDK force, as well.

From their latest facebook post.

<XYZ> Can you hint towards any non-chaos god legion love like Nightlords or Iron warriors ? A formation or 2 would be great
<Warhammer 40,000> There's quite a lot of stuff in this book both of those armies can use, XYZ, you'll see...

<ZYX> Anything for khorne daemonkin aside from nee khárn rules?

Translation: No.

Though to be fair a formation or 2 would have a lot going for it...

**angelofvengeance**

I really hate it when people type definitely as defiantly... Not even close to being the same word!

On a 40k related note, it seems GW are already sorting the Deathwatch Codex FAQ and Errata.

**Bull0**

Dictionary corner! It's more likely they actually did mean the book was "very defiantly" about the black legion because that makes sense - the book is proud to be about the black legion, is defiant in its insistence not to include khorne daemonkin stuff - whereas "very definitely" would be qualifying an absolute and doesnt make sense. Something is either definite or not, it can't be a bit definite or very definite.

It's not brilliant language either way, though. Anyway...

**Motograter**

So khorne daemonkin aren't part of a black crusade? Abaddon just letting them sit this one out. Lol that confirms just how stupid GW still are

IIRC there is a story in the KDK codex about some Daemonkin being approached by envoys sent by Abaddon. Let's just say that's not a way to get a head in life, on the part of the envoys at least.

Daemon Angron?

**Azreal13**

Kharn.

**H.B.M.C.**

Xorphas?

**BrookM**

Crimson Slaughter IIRC.

**Cephalobeard**

Xorphas is one of Abaddons commanders from Crimson Slaughter.

**Abadabadoobaddon**

If Xorphas is some Crimson Slaughter poser why is he babbling about his 10,000 year war? He's been at it for what, a couple decades at most?

**Crimson Devil**

That,s how long the war has been going on. Not how long he has been involved.

I think the Crimson Slaughter have gone into the Eye. If so, it could very well have been 10k years for him already.

I don't really remember the Crimson Slaughter fluff that much though.

I realize that. My point is that thematically those words would be more appropriate coming from a Heresy veteran, not some renegade chump. "Our 13th Crusade"? Bro, you were still fighting the good fight for the False Emperor when number 12 was going down. Poser!

**godardc**

I'm sad they didn't keep the idea that the PlagueFleet with Typhus as the first wave of the 13th Black Crusade.
It seemed even logical / military clever to weaken the Imperium by plague before sending the actual army.

It's the trope of the white guy has picked a side and now the long conflict can be won! Xorphas is the Tom Cruise of this scenario.

In fairness, I believe Abbadon is sending these lads to a specific system to acquire a specific weapon, rather than it being the first wave.

All Chaos needed was some Ultramarines. They really are the best you know!

So outside of the whining that Crimson Slaughter are getting some attention, we have anymore leaks of rules?

I can't wait for 10 different terrible ways to use possessed marines.

**Gordon Shumway**

Why are you announcing your plans, random bad guy? I refuse to believe they aren't still making James Bond movies 38K years from now. You should know better.

**BrookM**

Well, they also did it during the Heresy. Kor Phaeron could've killed Guilleman, but nope, he had to monologue.

He had his heart ripped out for making that mistake though.

Too bad that the easiest way to fix them is to make them into beasts and a slight point drop :(

I too am waiting diligently to be disappointed by this Chaos supplement, I'm used to it now.

Give him a break. He's Crimson Slaughter. He's only been a badguy for a few years now and isn't used to getting beaten all the time by the goodguys. He'll learn.
