Infested Warriors | Church of the Acarid

LORE & BACKGROUND

The Infested Warriors are the broken shells of soldiers claimed by the brood. Drawn from deserters, mercenaries, and patrols that strayed too far into the swamp, they retain only the husk of their training. Their discipline is gone, replaced by raw, unthinking violence. Parasites hollowed their minds and reinforced their bodies, leaving grotesque parodies of what they once were.

They fight with sudden bursts of speed, lunging with brutal strength and swinging weapons stripped of finesse. Their armor clatters with each staggering motion, plates warped by chitin growth protruding from within. In the fog around the church, the uneven rhythm of their steps echoes as if the swamp itself clanked with rusted metal. They are not clever combatants, but they are relentless, driven by instinct and commanded by the Broodmare’s distant will. Each blow is intended not to win but to break, to fracture bone and tear flesh until nothing remains. These warriors are the brood’s frontline soldiers, a host of once-men now transformed into alien puppets of war.
