Parashuruma is a fan-made special character for the Kingdoms of Ind army created by the Warhammer Army Project in their fandex for this unexplored part of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world.

Born to the headman of a small village, the warrior known as Prashuruma was a mighty fighter who attracted the favor of the Indan God of Destruction, Shaivi, when he singlehandedly slew a whole tribe of beastmen. For this, Shaivi blessed the warrior with the power of regeneration and his own enchanted axe.

Parashuruma might have gone on to become famous throughout Ind, had his village not been visited by a greedy king named Kartavirya whilst Parashuruma was away hunting. This king stole the sacred cow that belonged to Parashuruma's father, and for this Parashuruma came to Kartavirya's palace and took it back, killing the king in the process. When Parashuruma's father sent his son on a year-long holy pilgrimage as an act of penance, Kartavirya's sons came and murdered Parashuruma's father in revenge for the death of their own patriarch.

Needless to say, this went down with Parashuruma like a fart in a crowded elevator. He tracked down his father's killers and killed them all, then vowed to visit genocide upon the Kshatriya caste "twenty one times over", in honor of the twenty-one times his mother beat on her breast in grief at her husband's slaying. So he has become known as the Holy Slayer of Ind, and though he turns his axe on his nation's enemies as well, his thoughts never stray from his mission of annihilating the caste he believes has proven irredeemably corrupt.

On the tabletop, Parashuruma uses up a X slot and costs Y points. He has the following stats: Movement 4, Weapon Skill 6, Ballistic Skill 5, Strength 4, Toughness 4, Wounds 2, Initiative 5, Attacks 3, and Leadership 8.

He has the following special rules:

  • Warrior Caste: Treats units with the Lowborn Caste special rule as Expendable.
  • Hatred
  • Immune to Psychology
  • Regeneration
  • Head-Taker: The Ind player receives +100 victory points each time an enemy character is slain by Parashuruma's Killing Blow.

Naturally, he wields the Parashu of Shaivi (Magic Weapon, +2 Strength, Killing Blow 5+), though he carries a bow as a backup weapon.
