We do know there's a unit of "Headhunters" in Argrath's Sartarite Free Army, from the counter mix in the wargame "Dragon Pass" (the oldest published Gloranthan source).
I understand (from chats to Greg, etc.) that this is an unusual practice. It isn't related to the chaotic Thanatar cult's sick perversion of the honourable and ancient custom of head-hunting.

Why, thanks. The URL is:

One of the footnotes talks briefly about what's acceptable and what's not, by way of head-hunting, skull-mounting, corpse-desecrating and the like.
Cheers, Nick
