The Blooded Wanderers
Skulltaker leads a Khorne faction built around seeking worthy opponents. Choosing the Blooded Wanderers gives the army a personal hunt alongside the wider work of conquest. A powerful enemy lord can be worth pursuing even when a nearby settlement would be easier to reach.
Keep the chase within the army’s ability to fight and recover. A distant target can pull your main force away from recruitment and leave another border exposed. Use the race’s skull economy and supporting forces to make the hunt sustainable.
How the Cloak of Skulls works
Defeating enemy lords earns Champion’s Essence. Spend it in the Cloak of Skulls to unlock rewards or improve those you already have. The campaign therefore asks you to compare opponents as sources of progression, as well as obstacles on the map.
Choose cloak improvements around the next part of the campaign. A reward is useful when it helps the army reach and defeat another worthwhile target. Check the cloak panel before choosing the next war, rather than allowing the pursuit of a single opponent to dictate every move.
Make space for the duel
Skulltaker is a melee hunter with the Slayer Sword. Use the army to occupy the enemy’s supporting troops so he can reach an important character. A valuable duel becomes much less favourable if missile units and fresh infantry can attack him freely.
Bloodletters can engage infantry while Karanak threatens vulnerable troops elsewhere. Skarr Bloodwrath offers another way to pressure the enemy’s infantry if you recruit him. Coordinate those attacks so the lord and heroes remain close enough to receive help.
The cloak, the pack, and the hunt
Skulltaker’s Blooded Wanderers need the paid Skulltaker – Omens of Destruction pack. The campaign is Immortal Empires. Skarr Bloodwrath comes along as a hero for eligible armies. Arbaal does not. He was free in update 6.0. Skarbrand remains the base-game Bloodthirster.
The cloak improves when powerful enemy lords die. Build the army to create that duel, with Bloodletters doing the ordinary killing around it. The lore page carries the slayer-of-kings account. A lost hunt is a campaign setback, not a rewrite of the cloak’s reputation.
