Hello Space Marines,
You may have seen various agents of Khorne across our trailers, screenshots, and even in the demo. So, today, we thought we’d take a closer look at some of the new Khorne enemies.
The ferocious bloodlust of Khorne enters the battlefield in the form of World Eater traitor Astartes and their demonic allies. Malum and Nyra will have to contend with blistering bolter fire and chain axes from World Eaters whilst fending off charging hordes of rage-filled daemons.
The foot soldiers of Khorne are manifestations of hate and violence armed with dreaded hellblades and a thirst for blood. They aren’t the toughest of Khorne’s forces but are a deadly foe in close quarters.
Equipped with a Hellblade, they’ll leap toward you from a distance before viciously slashing away.
Bloodcrushers are the deadly combination of a bloodletter mounted upon ferocious steeds called Juggernauts. This rage-filled cavalry charges across the battlefield with bodies of brass and iron that are nearly unstoppable. The blistering speed of these iron steeds means you’ll need to be agile, using the battlefield to your advantage.
Upon either unit reaching low or no health, the Bloodcrusher will split, leaving either the Juggernaut or Bloodletter to die while the other bears down upon you intent on revenge.
These howling hounds are wolf-like beasts that hunt their prey with dreadful teeth and vicious talons that can even cut through the armour of Space Marines.
When in battle, they first stalk their prey, circling them at a distance, before rapidly closing in for the kill. They also hunt in packs, so where there is one Flesh Hound, there’s likely more...
The sole purpose of a Khorne Berzerker is to gain glory by slaughtering everything in sight with unfettered rage and bloodlust. They are fearless, bloodthirsty, and unhinged, charging straight into battle to destroy their enemies in the most brutal way, revelling in pain and bloodshed.
When reaching low health, Bezerkers enter a blood rage in a frenzied attempt to gain glory. This increases their movement speed, fire rate, and damage.
We don’t want to give everything away before Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 launches later this year, so there are a couple more Khorne enemies we’re keeping under wraps.
But keen eyes may have noticed a HUGE axe swing down at the end of our Skulls Showcase trailer...
The agents of Khorne are just one of the four legions of Chaos that Malum and Nyra will have to overcome in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2.
