The Flesh Eater Courts are one of the most intriguing factions in Warhammer Age of Sigmar, embodying a unique blend of horror and grotesque beauty. Among their ranks, the Cryptguard stand out as the stalwart defenders of their twisted realm. Here’s a closer look at these macabre warriors.

Who Are the Cryptguard?

The Cryptguard are the elite warriors of the Flesh Eater Courts, serving as the backbone of their armies. These grotesque fighters are often former knights and noblemen who have succumbed to the madness of their vampiric overlords. They are driven by an insatiable hunger for flesh, believing themselves to be noble defenders of a glorious kingdom, even as they engage in horrific acts of cannibalism.

Key Characteristics

Appearance: Cryptguard are heavily armored, often adorned with the remnants of their former lives. Their armor is a patchwork of rusted metal and bone, reflecting their undead nature. Many bear grotesque features, such as elongated limbs and ghastly visages, which serve to intimidate their foes.

Combat Style: In battle, Cryptguard are relentless and brutal. They wield a variety of weapons, including greatswords and axes, which they use to cleave through their enemies with terrifying efficiency. Their combat style is characterized by a combination of strength and resilience, making them formidable opponents on the battlefield.

Abilities: Cryptguard possess unique abilities that enhance their effectiveness in combat. They can bolster their allies, making them more resilient, and their insatiable hunger can grant them additional strength as they consume the flesh of their fallen foes.

Role in the Flesh Eater Courts

Within the Flesh Eater Courts, the Cryptguard serve multiple roles:

Frontline Defenders: They are often deployed at the front lines, absorbing damage and protecting more fragile units behind them.

Shock Troops: Their ability to charge into battle and disrupt enemy formations makes them excellent shock troops, capable of turning the tide of a skirmish.

Symbol of Terror: The presence of Cryptguard on the battlefield instills fear in the hearts of their enemies, as their grotesque appearance and relentless nature can demoralize even the most stalwart of foes.
