'''Infractors''' are one a type of rank-and-file soldier found within the two distinct combat formations, that most [[Chaos Space Marines]] warbands of the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Traitor Legion]], find themselves in. However while [[Tormentor (Emperor's Children)|Tormentor]]s focus on range warfare, Infractors are close combat fighters that wield wicked [[Duelling Sabre]]s.{{Fn|12}}
==Description==
They Unlike their ranged-preferring [[Tormentor (Emperor's Children)|Tormentor]] cousins, Infractors focus on close-quarters combat. Infractors are obsessed drug-fueled killers that seek only to gain sensation by engaging in bloody, extreme, and sensationally wanton battle with experiencing every sensation the enemy. Unless given sufficient incentive to do otherwise, Infractors will simply kill, move on, and kill again and ignore most other objectives. Swift and arrogant, they view enemy positions as a personal affront and will instead push deep into hostile territory to kill for its own sake.{{Fn|2}} Rarely fighting as part of a cohesive combined arms force, Infractors expect others within their warband to keep up with them and are known to violently oppose attempts to restrain their swift advances. Always looking for the next challenge, unlike [[Flawless Blade]]s they are not particular about who they inflict violence upon. However they still possess a monstrous ego, and view the battlefield as their own domain set up by [[GalaxySlaanesh]] has to offer and are determined allow them to prove slice apart their superiority in combatfoes. {{Fn|2}} In order battle, Infractors most commonly wield [[Duelling Sabre]]s and [[Bolt Pistol]]s. They view their weapons as tools with which to do sopaint their bloody performances upon the galactic canvas, though any aesthetic sensibilities they once had have since been replaced by psychotic violence. Squads of Infractors will hunt down compete with one another to carve the most glorious opponents visceral trail of destruction across the battlefield. If they are not consumed by jealousy, other Emperor's Children who encounter these rampages may be inspired by the tableaus.{{Fn|2}} Infractors reap sensation from the body fluids, pain, and cries of agony from their enemies. They sometimes will spare those they can findencounter, though this is only to enrich themselves with their victim's cries of pain and vengeance. At other times these suffers may only be left due to pure indifference and apathy.{{Fn|12}}
