I heard about the new chaos dex and I want to start a Khorne Chaos army. Any suggestions about where I should start?

Berzerkers and red paint.

Have a read through the codex and see what you like the look of.

an HQ choice is good way to start with. terminator Lord or normal Lord? Maybe Kharn?

After that you miht as well get your obligatory box of Berzerkers.

I personally think the Heldrake dragon model would look pretty cool in a Khorne army - a fire breathing monster that flies around and can vector strikes peoples heads off? Whats more Khornate than that?!

Cultists with Mark of Khorne seem to be fairly popular. They're also good as relatively cheap character delivery systems. Kharn is still a monster, and I really like the idea of a Khorne Lord on Juggernaut with a bunch of Khorne Spawn.

Khorne Lord on Juggernaut with the Daemon Axe + Sigil of Corruption looks to be pretty fun, something like 6/7 attacks (minimum) on the charge at S6 AP2

First make a blood sacrifice using an innocent (usually a little sibling is a good option). Then anoint yourself in the blood and yell over and over "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" This should summon a Bloodletter that will tell you the dark ways of Khorne and will forever change you into a vessel for the blood god.

Then go out and buy 2 boxes of berserkers. Enjoy.

Hail brother to the slaugther! I salute your choice.

Well what sort of Khorne army you want? Cultists? All bezerker army or a mix? I recomend getting the CSm lord and stuffing him in termi armour and invest in at least 10 Terminators. Then back them up with Bezerkers if you must, but I would rather use regular marines, or Cultists since they are dirt cheaper. Then get a group of Havocs and grant them auto cannons for maximum carnage, I have found that a Forgefiend is also a decent thing to bring. Oblitorators can be good but not necesary if you have Havocs. Kharne is always good for these lists

Wait...Trondheim you have a Sororitas symbol and you're secretly a Khorne worshipper?..maybe Ward has the right of it against sisters then lol

if you want a decent fluff story about a Khorne cultist army then there's a short story in Words of Blood from the POV of the Black Templars AND the leader of the Khornate culist army...IMO it's a very compelling read as both the Black Templar (captain? I think) and the Cultist leader both break the conceptions held onto both of them

This... I run exactly this. So much win! With VotLW, Rage, and +D6 attacks, on a good roll he'll easily slaughter a squad of 10 MEQs in a turn without breaking a stride.

Oh yeah?..well...fine ...so there!

Berzerkers, red paint, Heldrake, a bit of armor for backup, Defiler (maybe?)...

You need a Lord and a few Berzerkers for the very beginning, focus on those for now. Once you've done that find something that can shoot (Obliterators and armor fit best with Khorne), something that can move quickly (Heldrakes, Raptors, and Bikes are all good choices), and something that can take fire (Cultist mobs, large CSM squads, Land Raiders, Daemon Engines, that sort of thing). Then rush at your enemy and hack them into little pieces for the glory of the Blood God.

As the good captain stated, I play Fantasy mostly and hence I use the French lilly on my banners and such. But yes, always kill the SoB when you can, Ward got it rigth
