Flesh-eater Courts – Royal Decapitator
6" 5 5+ 2 In the minds of most ghouls, even the foulest foes are entitled to an honourable end. Certain cannibals, however, become fixated on the act of killing, even over the devouring of the dead. Other ghouls view such wretches as touched by the hand of Nagash, chosen to become deliverers of his pitiless justice. Far from refuting such claims, these foreboding figures embrace this stigma. Taking the title of Royal Decapitator, they don filthy patchwork hoods and take up rusted axes recovered from the midden heaps, weapons that have taken so many lives that they seem to hunger for death.
Seen as dour and uncultured by their fellows, Decapitators are shunned figures, forced to dwell in isolated bone-strewn lairs. Yet they are nevertheless permitted to accompany the royal host to battle, and when these cannibals spy an enemy who excites their murderous impulses, a slavering mania seizes them. The Decapitator lopes forwards with a single minded focus, shrugging off arrows and lead shot, dragging their axe in a furrow through the mud. So occupied are their targets with fighting off hordes of rabid ghouls that few notice the heavy blade whistling towards them until it cleaves them in two. | ||
