He would not have been that excellent of a combatant, genuinely. He wasn't even a warhorse, or a Druchii-bred elf horse, just a draft horse that could talk and think at an average human intelligence level.
Not even crazy mutated and huge like the Bog King Octopus from the new 4E edition stuff.

Yeah, while many Witch Hunters are overzealous in their pursuit of evil there's often a reason for that. It doesn't help the innocent people they end up killing 'just in case' but many Witch Hunters either learn not to be merciful early in their career or they die.
It's something that was shown in the update about the head Witch Hunter that died. She ended up a bitter paranoid woman who was known for her brutality but at the end of the day she almost certainly saved far more innocents than she killed. I couldn't like her but I had a grudging respect for her by the end
Then why make him a Horse?
Just have him be voiced by Eddie Murphy and be done with it
SOMEBODY SAID MALAL AND I HAVE ARRIVED
That's what I was intending for her, yeah! I've brought it up before, but there's a lot to pity about beastmen and mutants in Warhammer. Seriously, through no fault of your own, the Chaos Gods can just reach out and fuck you up permanent-like, and damn your soul to their grasp. It has no bearing on you, your choices, your wishes, your morals, your deeds, your laws, if you get some warpstone sprinkled on you, oops, you got majorly mutated and now the Dark Gods can whisper at you all they like and drive you to madness. Or just mutate you more over time until you're a mindless shambling creature. Or send a daemon through to possess a baby in the womb. And so on. There are innocents caught in the crossfire, most definitely, but damn, the acts and actions of the enemy sure are horrific to cause that kind of collateral to be considered 'worth it' by many. Not to mention how in a world where Gods really can whisper to you, inspire you, etc. you can also straight up be lied to. "I thought it was Taal, and it was, until it wasn't." And so on.
Very unfortunate for a lot of people.
I mean. Druchii sorceress can already transform into animals if they wanted to. Or speak to animals. Or entrance animals and enslave them to their will to do it anyway.
Ascetics.
As in rejection of all physical pleasures, including food, as much as can possibly be achieved, to feed the soul rather than the body to the Maw. Sorta. It was very strange and odd.
They were basically on the path to kinda sorta gorgers but not, maybe. As can be seen by their description as huge intestines exploded everywhere woven into fleshy cables supporting the portal, they hadn't gotten far on that path before the Druchii got 'em.

Ogre monks maybe? That would be weird.
Ascetics are a very specific sort. Not monks, still clubs and what not. I suppose the eventual endpoint would be them losing their minds and becoming older gorgers. Or like, living versions of Mournguls, but ogres. It was a bad direction, because it was still Maw worship, not trying to replace the metaphysical anchoring with another deity.

Fair enough, and honestly surprised those kinda things more often in Ogre Kingdoms.
But yeah, a bunch of weird and creative ideas, lol. Can't say the dark elves don't like variety at least.
I bet Druchii are too arrogant to treat a horse nice and ask it what it over heard when it was part of an elector count's hunting trip.
A proper Druchii scheme, they want to be able to brag about it and show much better they are than their lessers. Treating the (non-elvish, normal otherwise) horse like a person is very much not their first idea. Resorting to a byzantine magical bugging scheme or heart rending cruelty related to black mail it is instead of the horse that can tell what it was it heard for an apple and a nice place to live.
That is, if we had freed that horse and got it off the Ark, I would want to make it a spy for the elector count meetings because as long as the horse doesn't talk nobody would know. (Amber wizards might, but why would they snitch?)
