Warrior Priest
Whilst all priests are expected to bear arms in the defence of their temple and faith, and most are at least proficient in combat, only a few march to battle alongside their templars and the Imperial army. These warrior priests have a threefold responsibility: ministering to the faithful amongst the army, offering spiritual and tactical advice to the army’s leadership, and smiting the unfaithful in battle. When war comes to the temple, a cult’s warrior priests take charge of its defence, marshalling the rest of the cult to repel attackers. Warrior priests are usually members of holy orders, such as the Sigmarites of the Order of the Silver Hammer.[2a] Most warrior priests come from the cults of Sigmar, Ulric, Myrmidia, Taal, and Morr, although other cults are not without a few token militant brethren.[2a][4a]
In particular, Warrior Priests of Sigmar are rather common in the Imperial army,[1a] particularly in place such as the Reikland.[4a]
Warrior Priests of Ulric are more common in the rugged, warlike north, such as Middenland and Nordland.[3]
