The berserkers were Norse warriors who wore the hides of bears into battle and fought with an unrestrained fury (that may or may not have been drug induced) that was said to not abate until every one of their enemies were dead. The berserkers were said to be some powerfully angry that they howled like animals, bit iron in half, and foamed at the mouth.

The Berserkers were vikings, who would randomly enter a state of senseless, possibly even feral, rage. This proved to be a useful asset in battle, so long as their lack of sense in this state did not get them or worse, their allies, killed. Amongst their own people, it was believed that the spirits of various territorial, lethal or otherwise aggressive animals would come upon them, initiating the 'Berserkergang' that is, the state of being berserk. Such animals included bears and wolves. For other examples of wolves within Norse culture, please look up information on 'Fenrir' Nothin' on bears aside from this.

Can you have an army of khrone berserkers or do you need some chaos attack squads in there?

It may still be applied that you can field Khorne Berserkers purely without attack squads if your Chaos Lord takes Mark of Khorne, I am not sure if this is correct. But from what I remember, you probably need attack squads with you to support berserkers. They're good to have regardless. I reccomend having Khorne Berserkers with a dedicated transport (Rhino) Berserkers need to get into CC asap, and to ensure they don't take casualties before they get into assault phase. The more models, the more damage. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
