I was reading the Liber Necris (khorne section), and was thinking (yes, I know it is dangerous!), what if there was a Khornate Sorcerer? (see, radical). So I thought I would make one. I might come up with some fluff at a later date. If anyone has any ideas for fluff, please let me know.


Sanguis Veneficus, Blood Wizard (Lord choice for a Warriors of Chaos army)

WS: 6
BS: 4
S: 5
T: 4
W: 3
A: 4
Ld: 9

Sanguis Veneficus is a level 2 wizard who knows the spells detailed below.

Special Rules: The Will of Chaos, Eye of The Gods, Mark of Khorne
Khorne Not Happy: if Sanguis Veneficus miscasts, or rolls a double 1 on casting rolls, do not roll on the the miscast table. Instead, remove him from play, as Khorne has finally decided to kill this sorcerer. If Sanguis Veneficus is with a unit with the Mark of Khorne at he time, they all get +1 attack for the rest of the game.

Wargear: Chaos Armour,
Axe-Staff of Blood: The Staff of Blood is a magic weapon that gives Sanguis Veneficus + D3 attacks. In addition, if Sanguis Veneficus or the unit he is with cause 10 wounds or more in a single turn, they gain a 4+ ward save for the next turn. If Sanguis Veneficus and his unit are lucky enough to cause 20 or more wounds in a single turn, they may instead get a free roll on the Eyes of the Gods table.

Gem of Skulls: Arcane Item. Allows Sanguis Veneficus to gain power/dispel dice for every unsaved wound he inflicts in combat. these do not have to be used in the next magic phase- they can be used in any subsequent magic phase.

Spells: Rain of Blood. Augment spell, casting value 10. Sanguis Veneficus and the unit he is with may make a free charge move towards the closest visible unit, but if failed they st:ill move the full distance. This may be expanded to affect all friendly units in 12". If so, the casting value is 25+.

Khornate Gateway: Direct Damage spell, casting value 15+. range 12".
This spell opens a temporary gateway into Khorne's realm, allowing demonic beasts to rend at the foe. If successfully cast, 2d6+2 S6 Killing Blow hits are inflicted on the enemy unit, which must then take a Panic Test. The range may be increased to 24" and the hits to 3D6+3, for a new casting value of 25+.

Gifts of Chaos: Sanguis Veneficus has the Mark of Khorne, and Bloodcurdling Roar.

Options: Sanguis Veneficus may take a single Enchanted Item from either the Warriors of Chaos book or the Common Magical Items chart.

Sanguis Veneficus may also take a mount, using the Chaos lord list.


Need help on points, though.

B-b-b-but... he's a sorcerer... and he follows Khorne...

Give us a fluff explanation! It's making my brain hurt. *dribbles*

I'm working on it!

And the general idea behind it is that he uses his powers to help get skulls for the skull throne, and blood for the blood god.


Did I mention it was a radical idea?

Perhaps you could find a way that his magic stems from some sort of artifact, or maybe he is a rouge khorne-worshiper? I can't really say what would be suitable for WoC background, all I know is Khorne doesn't like magic! It feels like you might have to make him a bit of a rebel somehow (everybody loves those ). Anyway, good luck!

I think I might say that he was an Empire Wizard who got overcome with Bloodlust, and started following Khorne... Hmmm.....
