retributors
Those who retaliate
Retributors are those who exact retribution—people or entities that deliver punishment or vengeance for wrongdoing.
The word appears in religious and literary contexts where divine or cosmic justice is personified: The retributors of fate caught up with him at last.
In gaming, particularly Warhammer, Retributors are heavily armed warrior units.
