Master of Executions

The Master of Executions is a headsman and champion of the World Eaters, a grim executioner who stalks the battlefield in search of worthy foes to behead. Wielding a great daemonic axe and bearing the skulls of past kills as trophies, he embodies the Legion's sacred duty to offer the finest heads to Khorne.

Among the fractured warbands of the World Eaters, the Master of Executions holds a role both honoured and feared. He is the Legion's headsman, charged with taking the heads of the worthy, be they enemy champions on the battlefield or fellow warriors judged wanting. His authority is written in the trophies he carries, a grisly collection of skulls that grows with every campaign and marks him as a killer of exceptional standing in the eyes of the Blood God.

In battle the Master of Executions seeks out the strongest foes, for a common death is a poor tribute where a champion's head is a feast. He carries a massive daemon-forged axe capable of shearing through the finest armour, and moves through the slaughter with a purposeful hunger, cutting a path toward whatever leader or hero the enemy has to offer. His presence steadies and drives the warriors around him, an ever-present reminder that Khorne rewards the bold and punishes the weak. To face a Master of Executions is to be marked for the block, hunted across the field by a warrior whose entire existence has been honed to the single act of taking your head.
