Warhammer Fantasy

The Grave Guards are long dead heroes who are tied to the land of the living by magic. In ages past, the men of the Old World buried their dead beneath mounds of earth and stone, together with their battle gear and wordly wealth. Although their bodies have decayed, leaving only bones and tattered flesh, those wights are held together by evil magic so strong that it can last for many centuries. They wear ancient armour of bronze and black iron, corroded by time and dusty with the years and carry weapons inlaid with evil runes, an accursed parody of once powerful magical blades.

They patrol tirelessly upon the walls of Vampire-haunted keeps of Sylvania, drawn from their ancient tombs to act as guardians for their Vampire rulers. These eerie, silent sentinels stand constant vigil on the crumbling battlements and at the iron-bound gates, never resting, eternally ready to defend their vampiric masters.

When a vampire marches forth, its Grave guard advance at the vanguard of the undead host. They form a formidable corps of warriors, protected by heavy armour, their enchanted blades cutting down the toughest of enemies with pitiless strikes. The sheer resilience of Grave guards have become well known across the nations of Humans, Elf and Dwarf. Their combination of stout shields, thick armour plates, and the natural resilience of the undead means that a simple sword blow has little chance of stopping them.
