Witch Hunter
“The blood of the guilty stains my hands, yet it cleanses the Empire. Every curse I undo, every soul I burn, is another step toward a purer world”
– Edric Voss, Witch Hunter
Witch Hunters are zealous agents of the faith, scouring the Empire for heresy, mutation, and the touch of dark sorcery. Whether serving Morr by hunting the undead or wielding Sigmar’s wrath against whole communities, their presence almost always heralds blood and fire. Armed with scripture and sacred icons as well as black powder and steel, they are relentless foes of corruption — though their fervor often condemns the innocent alongside the guilty.
