Games Workshop showed off the starting stats for the new Khorne team on Warhammer Community a few days ago- and it looks like it is going to have a really unique playstyle. What makes this Khorne team so exciting to me is that they feel like they're filling a niche of the 'glasshammer' bashing team.
