The Lord of Battle, also known as the Lord of Skulls, is a massive Daemon Engine of Khorne. Those tanks on its back store the blood of murderers, which get heated to boiling by the daemon's rage and then vented out through the chest-cannon (with various ranges, strengths, and so on depending on which one you get). Its right arm holds the Great Cleaver of Khorne, a destroyer melee weapon. The left arm is either a gatling cannon or (as pictured here) a skullhurler, a cannon shaped like a skull that shoots a bunch of skulls that gnaw on their targets (forcing successful saves to be re-rolled). Seriously, we couldn't make this up if we tried -- just imagine skulls chomping everyone like Pac-Man.
He started out as an Epic model; when Games Workshop released the new Apocalypse book for 6th Edition, they turned it into a 28mm-scale model. The modeler actually lost count of how many little skulls he put on the thing.
