 Even
before the Horus Heresy, Khârn of the World Eaters
Legion was known as a bloodthirsty and unstable warrior.
During the Heresy he became a legend, his uncompromising
ferocity knew no equal and he was in the forefront of
every attack on the Emperor’s Palace. Khârn
fell atop a mound of his victims in one of the breaches
just as Horus was defeated. Unusually the World Eaters
were drawn to carry his body away with them although
they were sure he was dead. His revival was perceived
as the blessing of Khorne for a valued servant. Since
this time Khârn has cut his way through the bloodiest
wars known with no wound to match the one he received
on Terra.
Khârn earned his title as ‘The Betrayer’
when the World Eaters battled the Emperor’s Children
on Skalathrax. Seeing his brothers pause as the long
night came to Skalathrax, freezing everything not under
shelter, Khârn seized a flamer and forced them
to fight by burning down the shelters. Khârn then
stalked through the streets of Skalathrax’s black
cities uncompromisingly taking skulls for the Skull
Throne of Khorne from both sides.
Khârn’s actions that long night split the
World Eaters Legion into small self-sufficient warbands
and only the most committed and/or psychotic amongst
them would ever fight alongside Khârn again. Khârn
cares not; he is a tireless destroyer whose single,
overwhelming need is to slay in Khorne’s name.
Khârn the Betrayer may be included in your Chaos
Space Marines army as an HQ choice.
