The Witchcleavers are a World Eaters warband.[1]
Overview
Led by the Skalathrax veteran Goran Zaal and renowned for their hatred of psykers, they operate out of the many Warp Storms and spatial anomalies in Segmentum Obscurus. They are known for their tendency to ambush Imperial Black Ships, pillage Astropathic Relay Stations, fought against Eldar Craftworld Iybraesil, raided Crone Worlds across the Eye of Terror, and have even taken the heads of Black Legion Sorcerers. Members of the warband can smell the taint of psykers and trace it to its point of origin with unerring accuracy. The champions of the warband believe the skulls of potent psykers and other psychic creatures to be a grand prize, and their armour and vehicles are adorned with such gory trophies.[1]
The opening of the Great Rift and subsequent increase in psykers across the galaxy has kept the Witchcleavers busier than ever before.[1]
