Abyssal Berserkers braincells are fried and the thirst for violence cannot be sated.

About

Lured into the service of the Wicked Ones by the promise of eternal slaughter, these violent warriors care little for strategy or power, often charging without provocation the moment they see the enemy.

They are normally found trying to keep up with the orcs, howling like madmen until finally they reach the enemy lines, where they become whirling, frenzied death-dealers.

Berserkers are twisted forms of their noble kin; they are not driven to battle-lust by the tragic history of their people, nor even by guilt over their betrayal of Golloch’s folk. No, these berserkers have given themselves over entirely to the death-cults of Tragar, giving up their very souls to the creatures of the Abyss in return for the promise of endless slaughter.

Only through killing can they hope to stave off eternal damnation, at least for a time. Cunning overmasters will factor the berserkers’ bloodlust into their plans, often using them as bait or a diversionary ploy for the rest of the army.
