The Witch Hunters are the grim inquisitors of the Empire, sworn to root out the taint of Chaos wherever it festers. Armed with pistol, blade, and holy writ, they travel from town to town seeking mutants, daemon-worshippers, and unsanctioned sorcerers, and their arrival brings dread to guilty and innocent alike.
Many answer to the Order of Sigmar, though others operate as lone zealots answerable to no one but their own iron conviction. Trial by fire, water, and the pyre are their instruments, for they believe corruption must be burned out utterly lest it spread. A witch hunter trusts no smile and accepts no protest of innocence, having seen too often how the Ruinous Powers wear a fair face.
Their methods are merciless and their errors deadly, for a frightened village will name anyone to escape suspicion. Yet in a land riddled with cults and mutation, the witch hunters' cold vigilance is often all that stands between an ordinary town and damnation.
