I suspect that this is the unit we got a glimpse of in the back of the latest NQ. A lot of the new additions for Skorne Infatry have been very different in feel from a lot of their starting infantry. A lot less heavily armored.

A lot less heavily armored.And a lot more "Marquis de Sade" than previous units too :p

I wonder if these are Genzoul from the Monsternomicon II...hmmm...

That sounds like a pretty good bet. And it makes some sense too when you consider the end of the Skorne fluff in Metamorphosis.

For those of us not in the know, what are the Genzoul?

They're usually Skorne (but can be any humanoid race IIRC) that have been afflicted by a disease that makes them cannibalistic and quite sadomasochistic. They also spread that disease when they chew on other living beings. They're a nasty bunch, and it's quite possible that Hexeris and Mordikaar have been "making" them at the Castle of the Keys, since the ending of Metamorphosis.

I think that will come into play as the Death Toll or Reanimation special ability.

Well, I was wrong... PPS_Simon has just posted this:

The Nihilators are not Genzoul. They are instead a rather disturbing warrior cult obsessed with escaping oblivion in the Void by earning exaltation.
