TAG     : Warhammer Age of Sigmar Flesh Eater Courts Crypt Ghouls
GAME :  Age of Sigmar

Crypt Ghouls are the grotesque and ravenous foot soldiers of the Flesh Eater Courts, a faction in the Age of Sigmar characterized by their macabre obsession with feasting on the flesh of the living. These twisted beings are driven by an insatiable hunger and serve their deluded leaders with fervor, believing themselves to be noble knights and warriors despite their horrific appearance.

Background and Lore

Origins: Crypt Ghouls are the remnants of once-living mortals who have succumbed to the curse of the Flesh Eater Courts. Transformed by dark magic and the insatiable hunger for flesh, they have become mindless, ravenous creatures that serve their ghastly overlords. Their transformation is a result of the influence of the Abhorrant Ghoul Kings, who lead the Flesh Eater Courts and manipulate their followers into believing they are part of a noble and glorious court.

Role in the Flesh Eater Courts: As the primary infantry of the Flesh Eater Courts, Crypt Ghouls are used to swarm and overwhelm their enemies. They are often deployed in large numbers, using their sheer ferocity and numbers to strike fear into the hearts of their foes. Their delusions of grandeur make them particularly dangerous, as they fight with a frenzied zeal, believing they are engaged in a noble crusade.

Delusions of Grandeur: Despite their horrific appearance and mindless nature, Crypt Ghouls are driven by a belief that they are part of a grand court, serving noble lords and ladies. This delusion fuels their ferocity in battle, as they fight with the conviction that they are defending their honor and legacy.

Appearance

Crypt Ghouls have a grotesque and unsettling appearance that reflects their transformation:

Physical Features: They are emaciated and gaunt, with elongated limbs and sharp, claw-like fingers. Their skin is often pale or mottled, and their faces are twisted into expressions of hunger and madness. Many have missing teeth or gaping maws, emphasizing their ravenous nature.

Attire: Crypt Ghouls typically wear tattered remnants of clothing, often adorned with trophies taken from their victims. Their attire may include bits of armor or jewelry, further emphasizing their delusions of nobility.

Weapons: Armed with crude weapons such as rusty blades, claws, or makeshift tools, Crypt Ghouls are more focused on the act of tearing flesh than on the elegance of combat. Their weapons are often stained with the blood of their victims.

Role in Gameplay

In Age of Sigmar, Crypt Ghouls serve several key roles within a Flesh Eater Courts army:

Swarm Tactics: Crypt Ghouls are typically fielded in large units, allowing them to overwhelm opponents through sheer numbers. Their ability to swarm enemy units can create chaos and disrupt enemy formations.

Melee Combatants: While not the most durable units, Crypt Ghouls are effective in close combat. Their frenzied attacks can deal significant damage, especially when they are able to surround and outnumber their foes.

Synergy with Other Units: Crypt Ghouls work well alongside other Flesh Eater Courts units, such as Abhorrant Ghoul Kings and Crypt Horrors, creating a cohesive force that can capitalize on their strengths and overwhelm enemies.

Conclusion

Crypt Ghouls are a vital component of the Flesh Eater Courts, embodying the grotesque and ravenous nature of this faction. Their ferocity, numbers, and delusions of grandeur make them a powerful force on the battlefield. As mindless servants of their ghastly overlords, the Crypt Ghouls stand ready to unleash their insatiable hunger upon the living, ensuring that the legacy of the Flesh Eater Courts continues to thrive in the Age of Sigmar.
