Berzerkers are chaos space marines that have pledged themselves to the Chaos God Khorne. Existing in a constant state of rage and bloodlust, these raving beasts rampage across the multiverse in search of worthy foes to slay in Khorne’s name. Blood for the Blood God. Some Chaos space marines aren’t interested in accumulating power, fame, or riches. Some just want to kill, and are driven to acts of butchery by a deep-seated bloodlust. Such chaos marines often find themselves drawn to Khorne, the Blood God, who empowers them with great strength and a fathomless rage. Skulls for the Skull Throne. Khorne cares nothing for ritualized worship. He demands only one thing from his followers: that they go out and test themselves against worthy foes, claiming the skulls of the fallen as trophies. If such worthy foes cannot be found, he has no qualms about his followers turning on each other. Khorne cares not whence the blood flows, only that it does. Warrior’s Code. For all his bloodlust, Khorne does have some standards. He has no tolerance for petty sadism: a defeated foe should be given a swift death, not made to linger in torment. He also holds those who would prey upon the helpless with contempt—not out of any moral standing, but because he sees no value in skulls taken from foes too weak to fight back. Any berzerker who preys upon such helpless innocents will find himself pursued by Khorne’s relentless hellhounds for the rest of his life.
