Empire - Witch hunter Tactica
Fighting the Witch Hunter The Witch Hunter relies heavily on his ability to catch targets off guard or to distract them in the thick of a fight. A powerful melee fighter, he is at his most effective when he can move behind an enemy and unleash pistol shots or powerful strikes from his anointed blade upon them. As such, it is critical that you not lose track of a Witch Hunter in the heat of battle. Keep them at range if you can - as their pistols are unreliable from a distance - and stay in front of them if they close in on you. A bullet in the head or a blade through the heart await those who do not.

Sucks that witch hunters are on the good side, well I guess they need 1 cool class. :P

well, i dont think you can beat witch hunters cus they are S.W.E.E.T!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean, is there anything they arent prepared for?

yeah you have to watch out for those Hats of doom, confused? let me explain: The Hat of Doom Long ago when the Old ones still walked amongst thed races of the warhammer world, a great undertaking was begun to create a new life form far superior to everything else, a life form that would eclipse even the Old ones in power. They were the THOD a group of spirits filled with the purest magic in existence, they were perfect being able to walk amongst the living as politicians and governors the settlements where they lived prospered like never before, however they were small in number. When the Old ones left, the collapsing of the gates destroyed many of the THOD but those that remained banded together and prepared to rebuild their race. With the coming of Chaos the THOD fought bravely their power so vast that a daemon merely had to look upon them and it would be ripped screaming from existence. Left unscaved by the forces of the great Daemon Lords, the powerful spirits went to sleep under the Old World, the Elder races convinced these greatest of all the Old Ones servants had abandoned them in snobbery and arrogance struck their names from the annals of history and swore an oath to eliminate them all on site, however many years later during the creation of Altdorf the THOD were unearthed and during thier slumber bound into leather hats that were to be given to the templers of Sigmar the great power of the THOD now known as The Hats of Doom has made the Witch Hunters rightly feared and the greatest warriors in all the Empire. so you see, steal a witch hunters hat and they become weaklings.

is that why each one wears a hat?

that is indeed
