Khorne: Which stars?

[plasmoid]

Hi all,
in Cyanide the Khorne Team only has access to 2 stars.
Now, if they had to have 6 like everyone else, what would they be - assuming we were aiming to not violate fluff (any further) and at the same time make balanced choices.
I suspect secret weapons and freny to be the order of the day.

Any suggestions?

Do you mean just from the existing stars or adding some to get them up to 6? I think Borak, Morg, Gnashrak and the chainsaw dude all work so just 2 more on top of that really.

I’d like to see someone using the ball and chain rule, maybe a herald riding a bucking bronco juggernaut. It’s mentioned in the fluff that they are super dangerous even to the rider so would fit the rules. Random movement, attacking anyone from either team who gets in his path even prone players and removed from the pitch when knocked over.

Lovely suggestion

But I meant just from the existing stars

[Corvidius]

The list above plus Roxanna and Icepelt.

Max Spleenripper (130k)
Lewdgrip Whiparm (150k)
Glart Smashrip Jr. (210k)
Lord Borak the Despoiler (300k)
Grashnak Blackhoof (310k)
Count Luthor von Drakenborg (390k)

Maybe write up some fluff why Morg ‘n’ Thorg will not play for them.

Why not Morg instead of the Count?

Even though Lewdgrip is a P chaos player, he is also Slaanesh, Khorne's main enemy.

On the other hand Khaine is an aspect of Khorne, so maybe they should get that stabby Dark Elf Whatshisname.

Horkon Heartstriper or something like that.

Yes I think dark elves will go very well with the team.

Indeed one of my pit fighters got first skill AG 4 and I'm enyouing a lot having an elf in the team!!

In Cyanide they have Morg and Grashnak, and not Borak - so presumably you'd be limited by those.
Max Spleenripper makes sense - Khorne would definitely want a 'saw on his team.

Other than that, Brick Far'th + Grotty may be an option (they go on Chaos and Nurgle atm as well as Ogre), and definitely agree with a dark elf or two (I thought Hubris or Roxanna could work well).

[dode74]

I would want to put Borak on them (we weren't consulted about stars). Max Spleenripper would seem suitable, as would Brick Far’th & Grotty. It's unfortunate that Lewdgrip is Slaaneshi, since he seems very suitable otherwise...

[Jonny_P]

I was just thinking Luthor for the blood aspect!

[Darkson]

I don't think Khorne got on with the khaine-worshipping DEs? Gonna have to break out my Realms of Chaos book.
Don't think a Stab (I.e. sneaky) player fits with Khorne's brutal outlook either.

[plasmoid]

Please do
For me, throat-slitting seems fairly khorny..(?)

[Digger Goreman]

Of course they want elves on the chaos team... everyone loves Cheese-Khorne!

[sturmjarl]

I'd suggest Morg, Gnashrak, Max Spleeenripper, and Lord Borak as obvious choices.
If we're trying to keep fluffy, then I'd try to keep Lewdgrip OFF (Slannesh and Khorne shouldn't mix).
I like the "Chaotic-frenzy" theme, so I would like Fungus and Roxanna (Witch Elves are "brides of Khaine" and Khaine=Khorne in WHFB).

[TheDoc]

I think that the WHFB fluff and BB fluff should remain seperate as much as possible. So Lewdgrip is not an issue to me. I think it would add another type of star to the roster.

For me if you are having Khorne the stars should be: Borak, Spleenripper, Grishnak, Morg, Lewdgrip, Brik Farth and Grotty.

The problem with deciding on stars is that you have to maintain the theme and also address the weaknesses of the team with a particular star e.g. Chaney is so good for Vamps is because he moves 8! Spleenripper gives you the chainsaw, Borak gives you a fouler, Lewdgrip is the thrower. The others are the big guys and of course no Chaos themed team would be complete without The Chaos Allstars captain!

I think this is the reason I am unsure about the team. Play testing is needed of the stars to see how'd they react on TT.
