Among the Man Eaters, some warriors rise above the frenzied rabble—not through hunger alone, but through sheer prowess in combat. Whether guided by raw instinct or echoes of a past life, these chosen few are elevated to the ranks of the Butcherguard. Unlike their mindless kin, they do not partake in the hunt but serve as the personal protectors of the tribe’s Haruspex and War Leaders. Clad in the gleaming bones of their fallen prey and wielding weapons hewn from the remains of their enemies, they stand as brutal enforcers of the Carrion King’s will.
For their service, the Butcherguard are granted the choice cuts of the Fleshspoil, ensuring they remain stronger than the hordes they command. In battle, they form an unbreakable wall of flesh and bone, cutting down any who threaten their masters. Though they do not ride the twisted Manswine, they move with a relentless purpose, carving a path of carnage with brutal efficiency.
