	Bring a Khornate Cultist to summon dispoable Daemons as they and Skarbrand will do most of the fighting and killing in the main army		Bring a Khornate Cultist to summon dispoable Daemons as they and Skarbrand will do most of the fighting and killing in the main army


			real advices:

			instead of bloodletters, get chosen of khorne. Bloodletters die very easily since no armor

			uh like use a brain fellow

	Do you really NEED a campaign guide for Khornate factions? Khorne is able to wipe out SEVERAL Armies and Settlements in just ONE TURN		Do you really NEED a campaign guide for Khornate factions? Khorne is able to wipe out SEVERAL Armies and Settlements in just ONE TURN (that applies only to skarbrand and is technically not true for beginning of the game)

	Depending on how great you are and how much manual playing of battles you do your Blood Hosts pretty much will keep on razing settlements and making MOAR Blood Host Armies!

	*'''[[Total War Warhammer/Tactics/Vampire Counts\| Vampire Counts]]''': Let's see here, their armies are mostly chaff, which only helps you get buffs for your units and your army abilities. They also have a large reliance on magic in order to do a lot of their damage, which you are resistant to. Your Daemons are unbreakable, so you don't give a crap about their Fear and Terror, and their lack of missiles mean they can't really hurt you before melee is reached (though keep an eye out for flying spell casters). Oh, and your Daemons do fire damage which stiffles healing, their biggest advantage. Yeah, this match up is probably going to be very one sided for you. The biggest thing you will likely have to worry about are their air force and cavalry. Blood Knights may also be troublesome, though getting some halberds and support from Skull Crushers should deal with that. Bloodletters will have a field day here, as they will shred most Vampire infantry, get their Hellblade buff up pretty fast and don't have to worry too much about missiles. Skarbrand or an Exalted Bloodthirster + a normal Bloodthirster should deal with any monsters they bring to the table.		*'''[[Total War Warhammer/Tactics/Vampire Counts\| Vampire Counts]]''': Let's see here, their armies are mostly chaff, which only helps you get buffs for your units and your army abilities.

	*'''[[Total War Warhammer/Tactics/Wood Elves\| Wood Elves]]''': If you're against a Wood Elf player, expect to participate in the most annoying game of "Keep Away" you've ever experienced. A wise Wood Elf player will be bringing many skirmisher units; Hawk Riders, Sisters of the Thorn or even Glade Riders will be plinking away at your sides all damn day. If they have a front line, it's really just there to slow you down; while some of their units can be pretty lethal in a fist fight, they simply lack the durability your (im)mortal hosts possess. Instead, their real killing power will be a mix of their ranged units and cavalry. To this end, you're going to need to go wide and use the landscape to the best of your ability to limit their mobility and box them in. Flesh hounds and Furies are fantastic at dealing with their ranged forces so long as you can create an opening for them. Hilariously, you have more artillery options than they do; a Skull Cannon can help crack a hole through a key section of their army or help focus down a lord/hero unit in need of killing. When it comes to their cavalry, don't let them cycle charge; if you can pin them into an extended fight, they'll quickly melt under your sustained assault. If you can do that, you're in the clear.		*'''[[Total War Warhammer/Tactics/Wood Elves\| Wood Elves]]''': If you're against a Wood Elf player, expect to participate in the most annoying game of "Keep Away" you've ever experienced.

	*'''Skull Cannon''': CANNON ON WHEELS! Khorne's only reliable ranged unit (for now, anyway), and it's a mixed bag (it's absolute shit). It has good range and damage, and its mobility allows it to keep itself safe from enemy ranged and cavalry that try to take it out. However its accuracy isn't great, its ammo count is low, and as a single entity it can't put out a very good volume of fire. If something does get its hands on it, it's hard to kill with its high armor and ability to regenerate in melee, although it has only 18 melee defense, so if something does catch it it might take some hits. If it runs out of ammo, it also functions well as a chariot, where it can then gain ammo while in melee, which slightly offsets its low ammo count.		*'''Skull Cannon''': CANNON ON WHEELS!

Legendary Lords

Line 56:		Line 56:
	*'''[[Skarbrand]]''': SKARBRAND APPRECIATES NOT BEING DLC!!!! Our first Legendary Lord along with being a pure combat beast. His weapon strength increases with every kill he makes, meaning unlike most single entities getting tied up by chaff might be beneficial in the long run. He has two special abilities called Wrathful Reaper and Rage Embodied. Wrathful Reaper gives Skarbrand hefty bonuses to his AP and weapon strength at the cost of rampaging him. Rage Embodied is an activated ability that causes enemy units around him with less than half leadership to rampage. [[Awesome\|He can also spit fire now]]. Despite being stuck on the ground unlike other Bloodthirsters, Skarbrand has 80 speed so escaping him will be a challenge. This also applies to his campaign, as his faction bonuses provide bonus campaign movement after razing settlements and Skarbrand himself gets even more speed by winning battles in general, making him extra speedy post-siege.		*'''[[Skarbrand]]''': SKARBRAND APPRECIATES NOT BEING DLC!!!!

	** Skarbrand may well be the absolute strongest melee lord in the game. You can send him out one his own against an entire army and he'll win, see for yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1umE3zobwEU, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=skarbrand+one+man+doomstack+.		** Skarbrand may well be the absolute strongest melee lord in the game.

			* [[Arbaal the Undefeated\|'''Arbaal the Undefeated(or defeated)''']]: He has special questlines that have very (not special) bonuses, but lots of money from rewards. The questlines are basically "go teleport and kill this random LL" that give you 16k on turn 5.You technically will never run out of them, meaning you don't have problems with economy as much.
			* '''[[Skulltaker]]''': Unlike Arbaal and Skarbrand, there is no easy way to cheese economy, but his skull mechanic makes him powerhouse as LL on his own. Even without those bonuses however, it is possible to sack enough settlements to be forever rich given slightly more time.

	*'''[[Valkia the Bloody]] (DLC, Multiplayer only)''': The Gorequeen has the raw melee stats to rival Skarbrand. She makes a great hit + run duelist with 100 speed, a temporary invincibility ability, and a bound wind ability to clear out chaff. She's infantry sized so avoids the risk of anti-large sniping and is a small target for enemy ranged fire.		*'''[[Valkia the Bloody]] (DLC, Multiplayer only)''': The Gorequeen has the raw melee stats to rival Skarbrand.

	*'''Poor Economy''': What the hell were you expecting? It's the Blood God, not the Personal Finance God. The only money you'll be making is from post battle loot, sacking and raiding. Combine that with your expensive units and the fact that Blood Hosts cost upkeep and you'll be in the red most of the time.		*'''Poor Economy''': What the hell were you expecting?

			*'''Multiplayer Cheesers:''' If you aren't Skarbrand, many disgusting cowards will leave their cities before you can raze them.
