Availability
- Paid content from Skulltaker – Omens of Destruction, also included in the full Omens bundle. The free Arbaal release alone does not unlock Skarr.
- Available to Skarbrand, Skulltaker and Arbaal. CA also identifies Valkia and the Khorne-aligned Daemon Prince as eligible routes.
Recruit a hero into an existing campaign
Skarr supports a faction led by a Legendary Lord. Begin an eligible campaign with the Skulltaker pack available, then follow his recruitment missions when they appear. For the Exiles of Khorne, the mission sequence is Blood Pilgrimage followed by Blood & Wrath.
Owning his pack and completing the campaign recruitment route are separate steps. Plan an army role for him while following the mission panel, rather than expecting an ordinary hero-building recruitment slot to provide the named character.
Use him against the infantry line
Skarr specialises in fighting infantry, including armoured targets. His Bloodthirst and Bloodborn abilities connect his endurance to the killing he has already done, while his supporting effects help nearby friendly troops. He works naturally alongside an infantry engagement with room for him to reach opponents.
Send him into a useful part of the line with friendly regiments close enough to help. Avoid letting his infantry role draw the army into a single congested melee while enemy missiles continue firing. Karanak’s speed offers a different way to pressure those vulnerable targets.
A warrior repeatedly returned to war
Skarr was a mortal warrior whose violence won Khorne’s attention. Death repeatedly failed to end his service: the Blood God returned him to battle, at a growing cost to his sanity and personality. That background explains his single-minded fighting identity.
His story makes him a useful companion to a Khorne army without turning him into another selectable faction leader. Choose the campaign through Skarbrand, Skulltaker or Arbaal, then use the hero to reinforce the army’s infantry attack.
