Despoilers

Pain is strength.

Despoilers are ritual desecrators. They don't fight for land or legacy, they fight to shatter, to spite, to leave marks so deep they outlast the battle by generations.

Each squad is a riot of brutal craftsmanship: rusted cleavers strung with trophies, void-hardened muscle, armor painted in blood rites and hallucinogenic dyes. They scream prayers as they charge. They mock as they maim. Some wear the bones of those who tried to pacify their kind centuries ago.

To be marked by the Despoilers is not just to lose. It is to be ruined.

Despoilers are a melee-dominant aggression squad for players who want to get in close and stay there. Pain Is Strength is the engine: reroll attack dice equal to your lost HIT, and regain HIT each time you take out an enemy in melee. The squad rewards commitment: the more damage you absorb, the more dangerous you become. Charge closes distance fast, Execute finishes wounded targets cleanly, and the Gorebeast provides cheap, fast melee pressure. Hit hard, hit first, and don't stop.
