Redblade Riders

From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Redblade Riders were mounted Khornate Chaos Knights and Mighty Skullcrushers who fought in Asphyxia during the Realmgate Wars. They were so dangerous that the Stormcast Eternals saw them as one of the primary threats to be eliminated in the campaign to liberate the continent from Chaos domination. Their fierceness even impressed Korghos Khul, who appreciated the toll they inflicted on the Tempest Lords, and Valkia the Bloody, who took many of the Riders to fight by her side. When Bloab Rotspawned and his Maggotkin attacked Asphyxia, they fought against them with as much fury as they displayed against the Stormcast.[1a]

The Riders' campaign in Asphyxia ended when they were among the armies caught up in Lord-Relictor Ionus Cryptborn's magical storm and taken to the Unreachable Mountain, where, without their steeds and out of their element, many of them died during the battle around the Crystal Henge.[1b]
