He certainly takes the "skulls" part of Khorne's mantra to heart.

Zhufor, known as Zhufor the Impaler or the Butcher of Vraks is a World Eaters Chaos Lord responsible for a lot of shit during the Siege of Vraks. His old name was Balzach, back when he was a LOYALIST in the Storm Lords Chapter. He's also pretty tall from the sounds of things, even by Space Marine standards. He leads his own World Eaters force known as The Skulltakers, so you know they're edgy.

To cut things straight, he used to be a nobody and now he's actually a somebody. From his time on Vraks, he's managed to literally force every single Chaos Lord on Vraks, There were A LOT, trust me, to pretty much serve under him. Well, almost all. Arkos the Faithless technically stayed solo, but even he decided he didn't want to oppose good ol' Zhufor. He also dethroned the previous guy who made Vraks a pretty shit place. But to be fair, he was just a regular human. He also killed a bunch of Chaos Lords who wouldn't join him. And they went at it without Armour too. Fun stuff. His BIG feat was helping to summon An'ggrath. Unfortunately, An'ggrath got his ass handed to him by an Inquisitor Lord. Also, Zhufor killed a somewhat important Commissar General, proceeding to mount his corpse atop his Terminator Armour. Now, killing a Commissar isn't that impressive, but the trophy is badass. Zhufor and his Terminators were pretty much the scariest thing on Vraks, besides the two Daemon Lords that were summoned. But seriously, these guys wrecked some shit up!

Something important to note:

Zhufor sided with Abaddon. Not because he really wants to, more so to better serve good ol' Khorne. He managed to get a lot of Weapons and supplies thanks to this. Quite a smart move, because now he has a pretty dangerous Khornate fleet.

And because Zhufor knew that defeat was pretty much guaranteed, he decided to escape with a portal. But for shits and giggles, he decided to leave a Daemon Prince with his very own Legion behind. What a swell guy!

On the tabletop, Zhufor is actually pretty damn good. For 165 points, you get quite a package. First of all, he's got EW. This is quite good. He also gets to take Terminators with MoK as Bodyguard, meaning they count as a single HQ choice with Zhufor. He's WS7, which is pretty nice. He's S5 and has a Powerfist... S10 attacks FTW! It also has an Inbuilt Storm Bolter, giving Zhufor some ranged capability. He has 4 attacks base. He's in Terminator Armour, which means he has a 2+ save. He also has The Skulltaker Chainaxe, basically a regular Chainaxe. However, it grants Zhufor +2 attacks, meaning you get 8 attacks on the charge when using this thing. Very nice on horde/low armoured armies. Overall, he's a tanky substitute for Kharn. Heck, you could even run them together! Add Kharn into Zhufor's squad, which SHOULD be Terminators, and make them lash-proof! On his own, he's very capable in CC. He has the potential to take on things with higher points cost. This isn't surprising though, as he used to be 185 points opposed to 165. He's the utter bane of pretty much anything that isn't T6+, or EW. However, he can have trouble going against AP2 due to a 5++, so be cautious. He has a fixed Warlord Trait, Legendary Fighter. It grants an extra Victory Point after killing an enemy character in a challenge.
