Warhammer 40,000: Khorne Berzerkers
Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!
The Khorne Berzerkers are the living embodiment of the Blood God's fury. These Chaos Space Marines have abandoned restraint in favour of relentless aggression, charging into battle with roaring chainblades, brutal two-handed eviscerators, and an insatiable thirst for close combat.
This kit brings ten heavily armed warriors of Khorne to your collection, each covered in brutal armour, chains, trophies, and the unmistakable symbols of the Blood God. Whether you're building a World Eaters army or adding close-combat specialists to a Chaos Space Marines collection, these warriors are ready to turn the battlefield into a slaughterhouse.
What's their role on the battlefield?
Khorne Berzerkers are an aggressive Battleline infantry unit built to close the distance and overwhelm enemies in melee. They reward players who want to push forward, pressure objectives, and force opponents to deal with a dangerous assault unit.
Dominate close combat: Chainblades deliver multiple attacks, making the squad particularly threatening against infantry. Their melee output is the main reason to bring them.
Punch through tougher targets: Khornate eviscerators trade some attack volume for greater Strength, armour penetration, and Damage. They're especially useful against tougher infantry and other resilient targets.
Keep moving under fire: Their Blood Surge ability can allow the unit to make a surge move after enemy shooting destroys one or more of its models, helping the Berzerkers close the gap.
Support your army's momentum: As Battleline infantry, they provide a core unit for your force. In a World Eaters army, they also benefit from the faction's Blessings of Khorne.
Make your characters more dangerous: Khorne Berzerkers can be led by eligible characters such as Khârn the Betrayer, Lord Invocatus, a Lord on Juggernaut, or a Master of Executions, depending on your army rules.
Current points cost: The latest reported points update lists 170 points for 10 Khorne Berzerkers and 330 points for 20. Points change with rules updates, so check the latest Munitorum Field Manual before building your army list.
Weapons and customization options
The kit lets you customize the squad's weaponry and give its champion a distinctive look.
Chainblades: The standard melee weapon. Multiple attacks make these excellent for cutting through enemy infantry.
Bolt pistols: The standard sidearm, providing a little ranged firepower while the squad advances.
Plasma pistols: An optional upgrade that adds stronger ranged attacks and can threaten heavily armoured targets. Supercharging increases damage but introduces the risk associated with Hazardous weapons.
Khornate eviscerators: Massive two-handed weapons that deliver fewer but much harder-hitting attacks. These are useful when you want the squad to threaten tougher opponents.
Icon of Khorne: An optional icon that adds a distinctive centrepiece to the squad and interacts with the unit's rules for generating Bloodshed points.
The champion can also be built with distinctive head and shoulder-pad options. The kit includes numerous interchangeable heads, armour details, and other components to help make your squad look like its own blood-soaked warband.
Hobby tip: If you're building the squad for games, consider including the maximum number of legal eviscerators and plasma pistols allowed by the current datasheet. Build the models to match the equipment you intend to use.

Painting your Khorne Berzerkers
Khorne Berzerkers are a fantastic project for dramatic armour, weathered metal, blood-red panels, and grimy battlefield effects. The classic World Eaters look pairs deep red armour with brass trim, dark metallic weapons, and bone-coloured trophies.
Suggested Citadel Colour paints:
Red armour: Khorne Red base, Agrax Earthshade for a grimy recess shade, and Evil Sunz Scarlet highlights.
Brass trim: Balthasar Gold base, Reikland Fleshshade wash, and Sycorax Bronze highlights.
Steel and chainblades: Leadbelcher base, Nuln Oil shade, and Ironbreaker highlights.
Black details: Abaddon Black with Eshin Grey edge highlights.
Bone trophies and skulls: Zandri Dust, Agrax Earthshade, and Ushabti Bone highlights.
Leather and straps: Rhinox Hide with Gorthor Brown highlights.
Blood effects: Blood for the Blood God technical paint for a fresh, glossy gore effect on weapons and armour.
Beginner tip: Paint the red armour and brass trim first, then shade the recesses and pick out the weapons. You don't need to paint every chain or trophy perfectly to achieve a striking tabletop-ready result. A little edge highlighting and carefully applied blood effect can make the whole squad look fierce.
For an alternative scheme, try pale armour with red shoulder pads, darkened brass, and weathered metallic weapons. The World Eaters' brutal aesthetic works with anything from clean legion colours to battered, battle-worn armour.
Is this the right kit for you?
Choose Khorne Berzerkers if you want an aggressive melee unit, are starting or expanding a World Eaters army, or enjoy painting heavily detailed Chaos Space Marines. They're also a great choice for hobbyists who like customizing individual warriors and creating a visually cohesive squad.
These aren't troops designed to sit quietly at the back of the battlefield. They want to advance, close the distance, and turn every opportunity into a brutal fight.
Answer the call of Khorne. Assemble your Berzerkers, sharpen your chainblades, and let the slaughter begin.
