Enemy Dossier

GM Reference

The Khorne Cult Berserker is a charging melee threat that rewards bloodshed and punishes hesitation. It hunts the wounded, the Pinned, and the frightened, and it does not stop on its own.

// Battlefield Use

Use this enemy to punish parties that bunch up, hesitate, or leave a wounded member exposed.

// Threat Profile

Moderate durability, high melee damage, charge pressure, fear generation on kills, immune to Suppression while advancing.

// Signature Traits

Blood Frenzy. Advantage on melee attacks against bloodied, Pinned, or Frightened targets.

Blood for the Blood God. Advantage against fear; cannot be Pinned by Suppression while moving toward an enemy.

// Signature Actions

Chainaxe. Heavy melee attack; the sound alone is a morale weapon.

Reckless Charge. Full-move charge with a bonus to hit, ignoring difficult terrain, at the cost of being Exposed.

Skull-Claim Roar. On a kill, nearby enemies save against fear or are Frightened.

Morale: No Morale checks while a chargeable enemy is visible; fights to the death once bloodied.

Tactics: Charge the nearest gun, ignore cover entirely, and hunt psykers and Pinned targets first. It trades its own blood as gladly as the enemy's — never run it cautiously. Two berserkers arriving from different angles will break most firing lines.
