Gorechosen
From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Bloodstokers)
The Gorechosen are a Lord of Khorne's inner circle, comprised of eight champions highest in his favour. They are his right arm, acting on his commands to serve as lieutenants, retinue and advisors. Not even the boldest and most favoured of warlords can risk lowering their guard in the presence of the Gorechosen, for they are powerful and ambitious rivals who will readily usurp their master should he falter in his dedication to Khorne. The nature and origins of these Gorechosen vary greatly. Some rose to power thanks to their combat abilities, other due to their relgious fervour, and some for their leadership abilities in managing the unruly hordes of the Bloodbound.[1]
