It’s another big week in the Mortal Realms as two very different factions get the red carpet treatment.
The Blades of Khorne bring the bloodshed with a full battletome update, while the Kharadron Overlords rise from the clouds with brand-new units, terrain, and rules. Whether you’re a seasoned daemon-summoner or an aether-gold-chasing duardin admiral, there’s something here for you. Let’s break it all down.
Blades of Khorne – Skulls for the Skull Throne
The new Battletome: Blades of Khorne offers 106 pages of glorious carnage. Inside, you’ll find updated warscrolls, Path to Glory rules, Spearhead scenarios, and Regiments of Renown. For Khorne players, this is the definitive guide to slaughter. If you prefer something smaller, the Gamer’s Edition is also available, bundling a compact book with 54 reference cards.
The Spearhead: Fangs of the Blood God is a fast, vicious force led by Karanak and backed by Flesh Hounds and Claws of Karanak. It’s a flanking force built to rip out support units before they blink. Speaking of Claws of Karanak, they get their own kit as well—a Warcry-ready band of bloodthirsty mortals.
Deathbringer is your new hero option, swinging a brutal axe with rules that let them instantly drop models if the dice favor them. Combine that with the returning Goreblade Warband, which includes several classic Khorne kits in one value-packed box.
For narrative spice, The Red Revelation Regiment of Renown adds Zarxor Hell-Eye and his followers to any army. You also get a stylish set of red-and-brass Blades of Khorne Dice and a set of 41 warscroll cards for easy reference.
Kharadron Overlords – Gold, Guns, and Gadgets
Kharadron Overlords also receive a new battletome packed with lore, rules, and thematic content. The Gamer’s Edition shrinks it down and tosses in 46 handy reference cards. If you like your rules portable, this is for you.
The Spearhead: Grundstok Trailblazers adds a new quick-play force built around Thunderers, Endrinriggers, and a Gunhauler. It’s mobile, shooty, and great for holding the line. Meanwhile, the Null-Khemist is a new hero with an anti-magic suit and deadly null-gas. Perfect against Chaos sorcery.
The Vongrim Harpoon Crew brings duardin pirates to the table. You can build them as Harpooners or Salvagers, with aethershot pistols and endrin packs. This gives your force a more scrappy, skirmishing feel.
Terrain fans get the Zontari Endrin Dock, a floating repair platform with auto-defenses. It offers both narrative flair and tactical utility on the battlefield.
Finally, Drekki’s Privateers joins the Regiments of Renown roster. Drekki Flynt leads his Arkanauts and the Aelsling into battle for any Order army. If you want flair and firepower, this is it. There’s also a set of Kharadron Dice and 34 warscroll cards to match.
Final Thoughts
This is one of the biggest dual-faction updates we’ve seen in a while. The Blades of Khorne get deadly new tools and modern rules support, while the Kharadron Overlords expand their roster with fresh models and thematic depth. Whether you fight for gold or glory, now is the perfect time to launch a campaign in the Mortal Realms.
