== Fanstratics Troop: Cultist ==
Cultists have chosen to compromise their humanity for short-term arcane empowerment.  This self-destructive path of darkness and corruption gives them exceptional arcane skills, and the ability to assault Enemy Troop Divisions from a distance.  Utilizing an 'arcane heart', pulled from their own bodies, the assault from Cultists may cause Enemy Troops to explosively 'combust' and injure other nearby Enemy Troops.  Additionally, upon death, Cultists themselves will occasionally 'combust', creating an explosive effect harming nearby Enemy Troop Divisions.  This unique trait not only makes Cultists risky to assault in hand-to-hand melee combat, but it also makes them a tempting target to sacrifice for tactical advantage.

Less distinct Troops are actually more difficult to conceptualize than say... a Minotaur or Medusa.  For this Troop, after the initial round of thumbnails, I basically crossed my fingers and put my faith in Justin.  Once again, he came through.  :-)

No VOD this month.  However, there is always his Twitch stream if you want to watch him work on something else.
