Slightly in the past of the Old World, The Witch Hunters descended on the ruined city of Mordheim like the torch-wielding fanatics that they are. The Grand Theogonist commanded the Witch Hunters to go and recover the wyrdstone for Sigmar’s temple, and to kill anyone that stood in their way, including the Sisters of Sigmar - a warrior convent who could predict the future (like witches). The Captains of each Witch Hunter warband possessed an edict from the Grand Theogonist giving them divine right to proclaim heresy and snuff out the lives of anyone who might stand in their way. A Captain would often be accompanied by other Witch Hunters, a Sigmarite Warrior Priest and trained warhounds as well as an unruly mob of fanatics which may include crazed and deadly flagellants. [2]
Of note, they pair hunted Herr Doktor Weisch , a mad scientist who claims naive individuals seeking medical aid as subjects for his warp-stone driven experiments and leaving a trail of allies, enemies and destruction in his wake. Some suspect they would never be able to arrest some of their quarries and bring them to trial; others believe Sigmar s justice is too good for the scum they pursue, and a few begin to see the marks of Chaos everywhere.
Happy birthday, dear witch!.
Templar Witch Hunter
"These poor, simple folk - too fearful or too dull-witted to see the vulgarity and evil in their own midst. They wail and complain about my. uncompromising methods, but who among you can say that hanging half a village is a high price to pay for the assurance that corruption has been exposed and destroyed this day?"
—Ernst Traugott, Templar Witch Hunter [6a]
An experienced witch hunter of the Empire
Templar Witch Hunters, officially designated the Ancient Initiatic and Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar [5a] or often just called the Order of Sigmar, are the Imperial state-sanctioned witch hunters who serve the Cult of Sigmar.
Characterised by their tall, wide-brimmed hat, dark clothing, no-nonsense demeanour, and penchant for arresting and burning those who do not meet their rigorous standards of righteousness, few evoke terror in the guilty and the innocent like witch hunters. Much has been written of these dedicated individuals, and rumours swirl about them like the smoke from their pyres. But they conceal the truth behind a mask of competence and fiery zealousness. [4a]
Feared and respected, loved and hated, witch hunters are both the bane of Human civilisation and its salvation. Ruthless killers, they serve the interests of the Empire by putting torch to corruption wherever they find it. Anyone or anything they find that is unnatural, they oppose. Witches and warlocks, Hedge Wizards, sorcerers, mutants, deviants, blasphemers, Chaos Cultists, servants of Daemons, Chaos Spawn, Undead, sinners in general and anyone or anything else that does not conform to their conception of the good and righteous is cast down, the victim of another purging. [4a] [4b] [2a]
Of the devout witch hunters, the Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar has done more than any other group to ferment the gruesome and terrifying reputation enjoyed by all witch hunters. The broad-brimmed hat, brace of pistols and propensity towards mass burnings have all been "inspired" by this zealous group. Indeed, there are few who escape the suspicions of these witch hunters with the possible exception of other templars. [2a]
Long supported and funded by the Cult of Sigmar, these so-called "Templar Witch Hunters", a term that indicates their state-sponsored official status, are granted their powers by both the Sigmarite church and the government of the Empire. A templar's holy duty is to protect the Empire and its citizens from the Ruinous Powers, their allies and those who would serve them. Many witch hunters specialise in a particular field of investigation, and spend years, or even decades, travelling the Empire or even the wider Old World to track down all the members of a certain cult, or on the trail of a particular priest of a Dark God.
