	'''Blood for the Blood God!''': A {{AOSKeyword\|KHORNE}} army generates Blood Tithe points during the course of each battle; the controlling player must keep a record of how many points their army accrues. One point is generated each time a unit belonging to either player is wiped out.		'''Blood for the Blood God!''': A {{AOSKeyword\|KHORNE}} army generates Blood Tithe points during the course of each battle; the controlling player must keep a record of how many points their army accrues. One point is generated each time a unit belonging to either player is wiped out.

	Unless stated otherwise in the rule for a reward, Blood Tithe points can be expended at the start of either player’s hero phase, but only once per phase. Pick one Blood Tithe reward that has a value equal to or less than your current number of Blood Tithe points and immediately resolves its effects. The latest errata (as of the 22 of July) removes the rule that makes you lose all unused Blood Tithe points when you use this ability. This is -a long overdue- buff to BoK since AOS now favors MSU. Feel free to summon small units of Bloodletters for 2 points (which will eventually die, netting you another point) to disrupt the enemy, while racking up points and summon a big fat Bloodthirster turn 4 for free, or pull out Apoplectic Frenzy more often.

This also means that low count armies, like Beastclaw Raiders, will be harder prey, given that they armies numbers are quite low.

Choose this reward immediately after a {{AOSKeyword\|WIZARD}} has cast a spell anywhere on the battlefield; it is automatically unbound.

	#'''Murderlust''': 3 Points. Select a Khorne unit from your army; that unit can move as if it were the movement phase. If it is within 12" of an enemy model, it can either move as if it were the movement phase or charge as if it were the charge phase. Murderlust specifies a "normal move" which includes the option to retreat & run, effectively giving any of your units retreat, run, move, charge sequentially. Useful for Thirsters stuck in combats they can't win, and/or cycle charging Skullcrushers. Also, if you charge in hero phase, you can pile in even if you ran in your movement phase. When you run, then you cannot charge which in turn ~~doesnt~~ allow you to pile in but guess what, you already '''Charged''' in hero phase which means you are eligible to pile in. This trick can be used by any faction that can charge in hero phase(Iron jawz for example).		#'''Murderlust''': 3 Points.

	#'''Brass Skull Meteor''': 5 Points. Pick a single unit anywhere on the battlefield; that unit immediately suffers D3 mortal wounds. In addition, roll a dice for each unit within 8" of the unit you picked; on a roll of 3 or more, the unit being rolled for suffers a mortal wound. If the roll is a 6, the unit takes D3 mortal wounds instead. You can launch this upon Skarbrand; he will heat up faster and if is already around a couple of enemies, they'll also have a chance to suffer residual damage. (Basically useless unless there's a 1 wound unit holding an objective in one of the few battleplans that you can't walk off a point and still hold it)		#'''Brass Skull Meteor''': 5 Points.

You may place one of these down, for free, anywhere in your deployment territory to benefit from its two abilities. First is to let Khorne Priests re-roll any prayer rolls while wholly within 8" of the altar. The second is that it forces wizards within 16" take -1 to cast. Best of all? It's free, so it's worth taking just for the area of casting denial even if you're not running Slaughterpriests. Even if you do, they (or any hero with less than 8 wounds) is able to hide inside the altar.		*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/AoS_Scenery_Skull_Altar_EN.pdf Skull Altar:]''' Ironically, it lacks the amount of skulls one would expect.

	#'''Slaughter Triumphant''': 8 Points. You may use this once per battle. Affects all friendly Khorne units. Unmodified melee hit rolls of 6 count as 2 hits instead of 1.

	'''Summon Daemons of Khorne:''' as of AOS2, wizards have all lost the ability to summon {{AOSKeyword\|Daemons}}. Instead, at the END of your movement phase, you may use 2-8 (or 16) Blood Tithe points to summon from the list below. The new unit must be set up wholly within 12" of a {{AOSKeyword\|Khorne Hero}} or {{AOSKeyword\|Skull Altar}}, and 9" away from an enemy. The unit summoned cannot move or run this turn, but they may charge (a nine-inch charge isn't good odds without some aura support). Blood Tithe points ~~immediately disappear whenever you spend even 1 point~~, so ~~generally speaking, if you do~~ summon ~~try use as many of the points as you can~~. Summoning is situational but can be just what you need late game to jump on an objective or cut off your opponent's movement. A Skullcannon can still fire as well, so quick-scoping a long-range target is possible.
