Editing Witch Hunters (section)

== Age of Sigmar ==

Funny enough this job survived [[The End Times|the end times]] since witch hunters do appear in Age of Sigmar. I guess with Archaon running amok everywhere, and Chaos spreading into all of the realms, Sigmar needed someone to "kindly" remind people why he is the better option. It is also implied that free elves and free dwarves can also be witch hunters.

The Witch Hunters of AoS fall under the wider umbrella of the Order of Azyr, Sigmar's version of the Inquisition. This organization not only includes the Witch Hunters, but also a wide variety of agents and officials comprised of nearly all the races and factions in the Order Grand Alliance. While not quite as grim dark as their 40k or Old World counterparts, they do continue their predecessors' ruthless streak with their frequent use of extra judicial punishment and very tall hats.

The Witch Hunters got even more love in the final book of the [[Broken Realms Saga]], [[Kragnos]], with the introduction of the Van Densts. This father-daughter duo specialize not only in murdering the various heretics, mutants and undead, but also are quite proficient at banishing rogue endless spells. The father Galen excels up close with his classic sword and pistol combo, while his daughter Doralia serves as a sniper with a massive stake crossbow. This would eventually be followed up by [[Age of Sigmar Roleplay]] introducing the Witch Hunter as a Free People archetype in the ''Era of the Beast'' splat, usable by humies, elves and dwarves alike.
