Role
Vanquisher specialize in offense unlike their more defensive Vindictors. Vanquishers are chosen from the Stormcasts that have displayed exemplary martial prowess and a flair in dealing death thus its rare for a Stormcast to be reforged as a Vanquisher the first time. After being chosen they are granted a Celestial Greatsword they must honour for the rest of their life even if they diverge to another path.[1a]
They are the most individualistic of the Redeemers, fighting in loose formations and each retinue also have its own favored sword kata. In battle they launch daring counter-charges when the enemy is pinned down by their more defensive Liberator and Vindictor cousins and have gained a reputation of being braggarts although their lethality is undisputed.[1a]
Wargear
The Vanquishers are armed with Celestial Greatswords which are each embedded with a celestium shard. Vanquishers will meditate on the realmstone shard within their swords for days until their spirit becomes one with that of the sword. The celestium in the sword gives fragmentary visions that guides them to turn aside feints and penetrate enemy guards.[1a]
