Rotmire Creed

Masters of corruption and plague from swampland north of the Gnarlwood, the Rotmire Creed dedicate their lives to the brewing of poisons, diseases, and maladies. Their cult worships horrifying plague-idols – rotting towers of festering meat – and are willing to brave any danger in the service of their god, Lord Leech.

Master alchemists of the Rotmire Creed, Witherlords lead their warbands into battle and take pride in inflicting the most horrifying diseases on their unfortunate victims.

Having imbibed their leader's most virulent concoctions and lived – so far – Bloated Ones are viewed with reverence by their fellow cultists.

Rotmire Creed 9

Bloated One with Raker Claws

Wardens of the Rotmire Creed's plague-idols, Carrion Catchers roam far and wide to find meat for their offerings – whether it be willing or not.

Rotmire Creed 1

Carrion Catcher with Snatcher-hook

Not all offerings to the plague-idols are given freely – sometimes, they need a good impaling first.

Rotmire Creed 2

Carrion Catcher with Impaler

Lesser acolytes who aspire to master alchemy and become respected members of the Creed, Mirefolk Outcasts are eager, vicious, and fanatically loyal.

Rotmire Creed 8

Mirefolk Outcast with Bilewood Weapons

In addition to barbed weapons crafted from corrupted bilewood, Mirefolk Outcasts carry blowpipes into battle to deliver their diseases from afar.

Rotmire Creed 6

Mirefolk Outcast with Bilewood Weapons

So coated in the mire's contagions are the bilewood trees, that a single scratch from their bark can cause lesions and abcesses instantly.

Rotmire Creed 3

Mirefolk Outcast with Bilewood Weapons

Mirefolk Outcasts are often armed with crude weapons looted from the villages that rejected them, but they're effective all the same.

Rotmire Creed 7

Mirefolk Outcast with Bilewood Weapon and Shield

Metal does not last long in the Rotmire, and the Creed's Outcasts have long since learned that a trusty wooden shield is the best defence.

Rotmire Creed 5

Horns of Hashut

Vanguard of the Father of Darkness’ unstoppable legions, the Horns of Hashut are pitiless destroyers sent to strip the land of life in preparation for their god’s daemon-forges.

Skilled warriors in their own right, Ruinator Alphas take to the field with multiple weapons at their disposal, including the brutal heavy flail.

Horn of Hashut 1

Ruinator Alpha with Heavy Flail

Ruinators act as enforcers and overseers for their warband, smashing apart enemy fighters while making sure their own forces fight effectively.

Horn of Hashut 2

Ruinator

The dark artifice of their master grants some Demolishers access to fell technology, like the appalling flamehurler – a terror weapon without peer in the Gnarlwood.

Horn of Hashut 3

Demolisher with Flamehurler

Although Demolishers eschew heavy armour in favour of all-out offence, some carry shields into battle recognising their dual use as a blunt weapon.

Horn of Hashut 4

Demolisher with Crushing Weapon and Shield

Befitting their name, Demolishers typically fight with a pair of heavy crushing weapons that can break apart stone and heads with equal efficiency.

Horn of Hashut 5

Demolisher with Crushing Weapons

The Demolishers' war-masks are infused with the magic of Hashut, granting them extraordinary strength and durability in battle.

Horn of Hashut 6

Each Shatterer longs to forge their own hashutaar – the great brazen war helms – and earn their place among the elite of the Horns.

Chaos Legionnaires

The Chaos Legionnaires are a well-trained, well-equipped warband devoted to the cause of the Everchosen’s legions… or so they appear. In truth, they swear allegiance to Be’lakor alone, and work behind the scenes to sway sympathetic allies to the Dark Master’s side.

As the head of a Legionnaire cell, Decuriarchs use their fighting prowess to dominate lesser mortals in Be'lakor's name and grow their master's secret army.

Few servants of Chaos respect anything besides raw strength, making the brutal Hornhelms a useful tool of persuasion in the Dark Master's schemes.

Rocktusk Prowler

Preytakers are veteran hunters of the Untamed Beasts who have earned great renown by slaying monstrous fiends. Many carry fanged axes carved from the bones of memorable kills.

Luminates have stared into the eye of madness and been reborn as agents of anarchic insanity. In battle they weave complex illusory patterns, seeming to shift their fellow warriors across the field in a ripple of shadow.

It is said that the blood of the daemonic Coiling Ones boils within the veins of Trueblood champions, granting them the uncanny reflexes and blinding speed for which they are so greatly feared.

Trueblood

Many of the Splintered Fang’s war-priests possess an unnatural bond with serpents, and employ the most lethal and venomous of such creatures as living weapons.

Serpent Caller

The snakes that the Splintered Fang employ as living weapons are tainted by the corrupting touch of the Coiling Ones and possessed of both unnatural cunning and terrible, flesh-eating venoms.

Serpents

Only the strongest survive the terrible ritual of the Serpent’s Kiss, and thus ascend to the rank of Pureblood. Few warriors match blades with these master duellists and survive to tell the tale.

Pureblood

Clearbloods are the foot soldiers of the Splintered Fang; neophyte cultists who seek to prove their devotion to the Coiling Ones by slaying their foes with poison-dripping blades.

The shields wielded by Splintered Fang warriors are tipped with barbed spikes, laced with the same lethal toxins as the Clearbloods carry on their blades.
