Games Workshop Warhammer AoS & 40k - Daemons Of Khorne Bloodletters

Product Information

Exalted Bloodletters have better armour than their rank-and-file counterparts and they are tougher, more fearsome combatants. They also possess better weapons, their Hellblades blazing brightly with the power of their fury. Once they slay enough foes on the battlefield, their blades are empowered by the Blood God, greatly increasing the Exalted Bloodletters' strength and thus allowing them to become more effective the longer the battle rages on. Red-eyed and perpetually snarling, each Exalted Bloodletter has the Mark of Khorne emblazoned upon its skull. [5a]

It took the great bloodletting wars of the 1800s to begin turning the tide against the practice. The prominent doctor Benjamin Rush (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) set off a fury when he began bleeding people dry during the 1793 yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia. By all accounts, Rush was a bloodletting fanatic and in general a real piece of work: “unshakable in his convictions, as well as self-righteous, caustic, satirical, humorless, and polemical,” writes doctor Robert North in a biography. In the Ode de Martin Lantre, the Questing Knights do battle with these Daemons in the Bretonnian heartwood. In the Imperial Chronicles, witch hunters have discovered them in villages deep within the Empire. [4a] Skulltaker ( U'Zuhl) - Skulltaker, also known as U'Zuhl, is an infamous Bloodletter Champion abd Bloodcrusher who has claimed a Juggernaut Daemonic Steed as his mount and has been anointed as the Blood God's own Sacred Executioner. It is said that when Khorne created U'Zuhl, the Bloodletter's first act was to chop the head from the first creature he met -- another Bloodletter. So began an existence of decapitation that has spread terror throughout the mortal and immortal universes. In the midst of battle, Skulltaker always seeks out the mightiest of the enemy's warriors. He fought alongside the Daemon Primarch Angron on Armageddon during the First War for Armageddon, felling a quarter of the Grey Knight Space Marines present. On Agripinia-6, Skulltaker slew the Ork Grimsnag Urk after butchering the Greenskin Warlord's armoured bodyguard. Seventeen Eldar Exarchs fell to his blade during the fighting at Haranshemash. Every race has its legends concerning the Skulltaker, and all are filled with terror.Lord of Change • Herald of Tzeentch ( Changecaster • Fateskimmer • Fluxmaster) • Daemon Prince of Tzeentch • Disc of Tzeentch • Flamer • Horror • Screamer • Burning Chariot of Tzeentch Great Unclean One • Herald of Nurgle ( Poxbringer • Spoilpox Scrivener • Sloppity Bilepiper) • Battle Fly • Beast of Nurgle • Nurgling • Plaguebearer • Daemon Prince of Nurgle • Rot Fly • Molluscoid • Blight Drone • Plague Hulk • Plague Drone • Foetid Bloat-drone • Feculent Gnarlmaw • Glitchling • Plague Toad • Pox Rider These creatures are the Lesser Daemons in the Daemonic stable of Khorne. They fight as Khorne's footsoldiers in vicious mobs, which bray and keen for blood. They march forwards in serried ranks, carrying tattered banners and other unholy marks of their devotion. And as they march, there can be heard a surrusant chanting, a litany of words that some claim are evil enchantments. Others swear they hear the names of fallen comrades, [4a] and indeed, these Daemons chant the names of those they have slain in battle. [2a]

A trio of Exalted Bloodletters, their Hellblades glowing with infernal energy, as depicted in Total War: Warhammer III. Bloodletters also fair poorly in auto-resolve, and are prone to being annihilated when ordinarily, and in actual battle, they will brutalise most early to mid game infantry.

Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. A Bloodletter's skin beneath their armour runs from the deepest red to near-orange in colour and is as hard as brass forged upon the anvil of ceaseless war. It also drips constantly with blood, for Bloodletters frequently paint their bodies with gore taken from the enemies they have slain. [2a] [4a] It may be helpful for people with a few particular blood abnormalities. Doctors still use bloodletting, for instance, in cases of polycythemia—an abnormally high red blood cell count—and in a hereditary disease called hemochromatosis, which leaves too much iron in the blood. Behind him wait the Legions of his Master, arrayed in armour fluted and droved with gold, brighter than the sun and darker than midnight. Each holds a shrieking sword, each shrieks in disharmony with his blade, each joins the chorus of Chaos, a promise of worse than death for those that hear it. Beneath their feet the earth writhes at their touch, as if seeking to escape their presence."

Those Bloodletters that bring their master more skulls are elevated, and so their lust for blood grows." Slay without pity; triumph without remorse. You are the legions of Khorne, His favourite warriors. You shall bring defeat and death to His enemies. You shall crush their worlds under your heel. To battle! Let blood flow in His name!"

Few foes can withstand such an onslaught, for the sight of their own comrades cut in half and butchered by howling Bloodletters is enough to break even the stoutest soldiers. Those combatants not instantly slain or fled are greeted with a frenzied rage, the Bloodletters screaming with fury as they fall upon them with dark blades, teeth and claws. As they slash at their opponents, the Daemons spit obscene promises of death and suffering, their guttural voices inspiring dread in all who hear them. It is not uncommon for Bloodletters to fall upon each other in their competition to spill the most vital fluid or claim the skulls of the greatest warriors on the battlefields; in such a way, each strives to distinguish himself before the eyes of the their legion's Heralds or Bloodthirster, as well as before the almighty Khorne himself.
