Fanatic

Fanatics are the weakest members of the Rotblood tribe and make up the bulk of their forces, along with Raiders. Compared to the rest of the Rotbloods, they are sickly and emaciated, and covered in bandages instead of the armor of the rest of the Rotbloods. They are extremely weak and die in only a couple of hits, with stronger weapons killing them in one hit. However, they have a tendency to swarm and are somewhat quiet compared to Raiders, with the only indication of their presence being rapid breathing before they attack, allowing them to sometimes sneak in unexpected hits. They are best eliminated by using AOE attacks, such as Sienna's spells, or incendiary bombs or barrels. Occasionally, a war horn will sound, leading to a swarm of Fanatics and a handful of Raiders.

The Fanatics are likely conscripted from Empire citizens infected with Nurgle's Rot or Nurgle-worshipping cult members.
