The Slayers of Vrash

Vrash is a cold and calculating killer. Vain and obnoxious, he believes it to be his Khaine-given destiny to be ruler of the entire Kabal. In secret, he is capturing the souls of those kaballites under his command, and plans to raise his own army to overthrow Lord Archon Zuul, and assume his rightful place.

Vrash and his missus!
Always accompanying Vrash is a mysterious woman. Just as soulless as the rest of the warband, she is believed to be the reason why masks are so prevalent amongst the Slayers. It is said the others wear the masks in tribute to her, but the true reason she wears her own mask is different. Her beauty was said to rival that of Lelith Hesperax herself, and Vrash did not wish to share her amongst his peers, and so forced her to wear a mask when not in private.

The rest of the Slayers of Vrash are automatons bent to Vrash’s will. They are silent and faceless. Their faces are always concealed beneath their full helmets made of alien metals, and utter no audible vocal sound. Vrash keeps the souls of his followers in a Soul Trap within his personal lair, another precaution against their deviations towards Vrash’s mistress, but this has never been proven. The exception to these rules is Vrash’s pilot, Xorshahn.

Vrash’s raider is piloted by Xorshahn, and it is upon this raider which his warband ride to enslave. It is called the Triblade, in honour of Vrash’s motif of three daggers.

The squad!
You'll notice some of the models don't wear the aforementioned masks. The simple reason is I ran out of them, so I built the rest of the unit up with standard warrior heads so I can use them at full strength in games. I'll finish the squad off properly at a later date.
Their raider is a work-in-progress, but it is almost finished, so should be uploaded in the next few days.
