~Warhammer Fanatic Tips. ~I'm having problemswith the Fanatics, they are really slicing up ~my troops and I really need some good tactics. Keep your distance from them! The fanatics are only released when they get a certain distance from your troops. Tie the Night Goblins up with Tangling Thorn or the Curse and then waste them with crossbows, hunting spears, mortars or any other ranged weapons that you have.
