Khorngors are Beastmen in Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40000, or Age of Sigmar who have dedicated themselves solely to the worship of Khorne and been rewarded with his Mark for their feats.

Lore

WFB

As one would predict of anything Khorne-related Khorngors wear mostly red and black with a lot of brass. In particular, their fur has a metallic sheen like brass and their eyes are pure white with red pupils (the only other acceptable options would have been pure red, bloodshot with red, or red on black). By birth most have canine heads and the ones who bear Khorne's blessing most have their horns naturally grow in the shape of his symbol, like his Daemons (there's your conversion bait). Like Nurgle's Pestigor they have tougher hides and wear more armor, but less so in both categories. All Beastmen instinctively hate civilization, but the non-Pestigor devoted to the gods have an asterisk next to that statement; Tzeentch's Tzaangor have a degree of wit and understanding to undermine the bonds of the organized, and Slaanesh's Slaangors love civilization while indulging themselves but feel profound self-loathing afterwards. Khorngors want to tear down the intentional works of order from the foundations upwards like other Beastmen, but only because it is their enemy; they organize with military precision and smith like any force of Khorne's would be expected to. This technically makes them the most ordered group of Beastmen, despite looking to their foes like a ravening horde foaming at the mouth.

40k

Beastmen mutations are not automatically Chaos in 40k, but at the same time Beastmen aren't a dominant and uncontrollable force so most Khorngor are just considered Chaos Mutants and lumped in with human Cultists. Way back in the day, when Chapters were first being created and released, each one would get a list of how many Beastmen slaves they had access to; obviously any Chapter of Chaos Space Marines that was devoted to Khorne had Khorngors.

AoS

Not even mentioned yet. Tzaangors are the golden children of Chaos early on in AoS history, and Slaangors got indirect attention. Khorne and Nurgle always get the most attention in Chaos (because, you know, they're easy to write and you don't have to worry about offending the kiddies) so they're due for some love soon.

Crunch

WFB

For most of WFB history they didn't really have their own stats, and existed as models (until they were squatted and replaced with generics for all varieties) that represented what Marks your forces had.

In the Beasts of Chaos armybook, the only Khorngors were Bestigors, chariots (ridden by Bestigors), and Characters, since only they could take the Mark of Khorne, presumably because they were the only ones to prove themselves. In all cases the Mark made whoever had it Immune to Psychology and given Beastmen Leadership (and the items it unlocked), that wasn't bad.

Variety was gutted when Chaos was split into three armies and somebody took Marks away from the Beastmen, then retconned the fluff to say that Beastmen were never given and could never have Marks.
