While the Necrologist draws his power from the names of the dead, the flesh and blood of fallen comrades are essential components in the spells cast by the Deflesher.
The Company's second sorcerer is responsible for performing the rite of excarnation. This ancient practice inherited from the Crusades against Araby, was intended to facilitate the return of the fallen to their homeland. The corpses were dismembered, boiled in water or wine, and then defleshed, so that only the bones would be transported back to the Empire. Under the command of the White Lady, this ritual, once reserved for nobles, has been extended to all the soldiers of the Company, ensuring them eternal rest in the gardens of Schädelheim, no matter where in the Old World they might fall.
The discovery of the 'Mos Teutonicus' immediately conjured up images of a cauldron in which all kinds of bones were boiling. Fortunately, at the same time, GW was releasing the Cities of Sigmar and the Alchemite Warforger. Combined with the body of a Sigmar's warrior priest and the head of a Steelhelm, I had my Deflesher.
