Wielding Khorne’s Wrath: Gary Harrod’s Axes of Khorne in Oldhammer

The Blood God’s Blade

I’m absolutely stoked as a Warhammer fan to dive into Gary Harrod’s Oldhammer artwork of the Axes of Khorne, which perfectly embodies the savage fury of Khorne in Warhammer Fantasy. This black-and-white illustration features a brutal axe decked out with skulls and sharp, bone-like structures, screaming the chaotic devotion of Khorne’s followers. In the lore, Axes of Khorne are sacred weapons gifted by the Blood God, used by his Champions or Chaos Warriors to spill endless blood, fueling Khorne’s thirst for slaughter and skulls. The detailed skull designs and jagged edges of the axe highlight the relentless violence of Khorne’s worshippers, who live to honor him through carnage on the battlefield. This piece feels straight out of the late ‘80s Oldhammer era, likely tied to the “Realm of Chaos” books, where such weapons defined the dark chaos of the Old World. Harrod’s gritty, gothic style captures the raw, blood-soaked essence of Khorne’s wrath in every brutal detail.
