The Church of Khorne

Empire scholars claim that nothing exists in the Chaos Wastes except the barbaric thralls of the Ruinous Ones, who live in dust and ash, forever envious of the bastions of civilization to their distant south. They are correct in that civilization cannot exist in the Chaos Wastes, but what the brave few who venture into those northern deserts may find to their surprise are cities and ruin, collected and scattered through the Wastes in such number that it seems like an impossibility that so many past peoples could have once lived there.

Some are indistinguishable rocks, mere crumbs of once monolithic structures. A skeleton of a skeleton of what once came before. Some of the ruins, however, still stand as powerful shadows of their lost glories. No longer functioning as true cities, these relics still have streets and homes to walk through nonetheless, stone jungles persisting with an uncanny sense of eternity.

One such ruin is known only as the Temple of Khorne.

To find it, one cannot rely on landmarks or senses. To attempt so is to wander aimlessly without end. The Temple of Khorne can only be found by those who wander the Chaos Wastes with a profound desire for bloodlust, those who single-mindedly wish to prove themselves to the Lord of Murder only. To find the Temple of Khorne is to be able to call oneself a member of the "Church" of Khorne, an affiliation named solely to mock the Church of Sigmar.

Warriors, champions, shamans and even Druchii find themselves here on a regular basis, discovering an ancient arena waiting for the worthy to wet its sands. These mauraders often bring throngs of slaves and captives with them, fated to be used as sacrifices, entertainment and, sometimes to the folly of their captors, as combatants to supplement the challenge. Scattered around the arena is a powerfully ancient armory of enchanted weapons and armor, prizes that one can claim only if they find themselves to be the last standing in the arena. For once foot is set upon the bloodstained arena grounds, the only way to leave is to be the last one standing, whether you have one opponent or many.


This map is a very small map, ideal for unit testing, fights on small unit sizes or you can really go ham and fill the place up if you want.

You do need to cap your own gates before being able to saunter out into the actual arena, which usually takes a couple of seconds. So you won't be able to move out before that point (unless you have units with vanguard deploy).

The capture points are only there to prevent the AI from turtling.

For Funsies

A fun way I've found to play the map is with the following rules:

1. Set funds to 3000-5000
   
2. Pick Lords and heroes only
   
3. ???
   
4. Fight a Gladiatorial battle to the death

3000 funds (minimum) works great for this because it's pretty balancing, forcing players to choose between expensive Lords and a more flexible build with less expensive Lords and the ability to add more Heroes or abilities/spells.

The map can be shared online in custom battle lobbies without needing all players to select the map, where I've had a lot of fun running this custom mode.
