High Level Fanatics

Those night goblin fanatics are great monsters--their easy to paint, and
they look good on the board.  But unfortunately, they are only
challenging for levels 4 and 5.  After that, they're really only a minor
annoyance.

But deep in the dungeons of the orc lords, warriors may sometimes
encounter fanatical gobbos who are different from their brothers.  These
goblins use a special deadly mushroom--well, deadly for those they
encounter.  The warriors should pray to whatever deity they believe in
that they never meet the effects of the bizarre fungi known as Bad Zaps.

Bad Zaps.  Never encountered on the battlefield, goblins reserve this
rare fungus to protect their most important habitations.  Bad Zaps are a
very rare mushroom, botanically related to the more common Mad Caps.
When a night goblin fanatic consumes it, his body becomes very dense.
This density has two effects on the fanatic.  The first is that the
number of wounds of the night goblin fanatic is increased.  The second is
that the fanatic's damage dice is increased by one.  Combine this with
the effects of the Mad Caps, and you encounter a killing machine.

Night Goblin Bad Zapper Fanatics
The stats are the same as Fanatic except for:
Wounds 12   Gold 830   Damage 2D6
Ball & Chain attack:  The ball and chain attack is as for the regular
fanatic described in the rules, except that the damage is 2D6 + 3.

Use zappers only for levels 6 and 7 (and 9 through 10 if you have 12 of
the fanatic models).

Level 6: 1D6.   Level 7: 1D3+3.
Level 8: 2D6.   Level 9: 1D6+6.   Level 10: 12
