====Necromancer Cabal====

Necromancy is all too often a taboo and shunned school of magic, it's practitioners feared and reviled by the common people in most lands; Only in Alinor and the Imperial Province are the Black Arts practiced openly. In order to avoid persecution of their works, those mages and sorcerers who would wish to learn and study Necromancy must do so in secret, away from the ignorant fears and inhibitions of populated areas. Hiding themselves in caves and ancient ruins, Necromancers will often organize themselves into small cabals, so that they might benefit from a collective security and work together in their dark research. Such cabals form the main body of the Order of the Black Worm, comprising the vast majority of its members.

====Worm Anchorites====

There are those among the ranks of the Order of the Black Worm that see necromancy not merely as an art, but as a religion; Those who have accepted the words of the King of Worms, and realized the true potential of necromancy as a path to transcendence. Powerful in the Black Arts and wise in the teachings of Mannimarco, Worm Anchorites are the priests and curates of the Order. These dark sorcerers fully devote themselves to the mastery of their craft, ever seeking to become closer to their god.

====Unliving Beasts====

While the Arts of Necromancy can be practiced on animals, such experiments rarely produce interesting results. The servant's ability to follow directions seems to be related to the subject's intelligence in life. While raising the corpse of a man, elf, or beastman can produce a useful servant, the corpses of animals produce mere guard dogs at best. Often a raised animal is unable to distinguish its master from the rest of the living and many amateur practitioners have been torn apart by the animal servants they created.

Support. Horde, Beasts, Undead. 10-20 models per unit.

====Thrassian Plaguewrights====

The slug-men of Thrass are infamous for their skill at creating and manipulating disease. Indeed, it was none other than the sload who were responsible  for the outbreak of the Thrassian Plague, a devastating pandemic which wiped out more than half the population of Tamriel. Plaguewrights are sload sorcerers who have taken up the art of epidemic magicks, seeking control over the spread of all forms of pestilence. They dedicate their time to concocting and studying diseases, and are always on the lookout for new test subjects to practice their experiments on.

====Worm Eremites====

The process of becoming a Worm Eremite, the unliving martyrs of the Order of the Black Worm, is only undertaken by the most devoted and reverent of Mannimarco's followers. A creature very similar to a Lich, a Worm Eremite retains all the intellect and magickal potency they had once possessed in life. There is, however, one key factor which separates them from Liches; They lack free will. Worm Eremites are bound undead, meaning that they are forever compelled to serve the one who created them. For the Worm Eremites, however, this is not a curse or a scourge, but a blessing. Created by and beholden to only Liches and greatest of living Necromancers, Worm Eremites have bound themselves into a state in which they might never cease their sacred duty to the Order of the Black Worm, and to their eternal service to their God.

~55 pts per model.

Support. Skirmish, Infantry, Undead. 1-4 models per unit. 

25mm x 25mm base.
