Great generals and flying machines may win battles, but it is the foot soldiers who win wars. This March preview is dedicated to the backbone of your armies: those who hold the line against the charge and those who infiltrate where heavy armor cannot reach.
🔱 BANNERMAN TIER: THE ELITE OF TIBERIUM AND THE HIGH KINGDOM
BATTLE STANDARD BEARER ON FOOT (High Kingdom) Amidst the chaos of combat, the honor of the High Kingdom must prevail. This imposing figure carries the great banner of the realm, serving as a moral anchor for the infantry. Armed with a flamberge greatsword and protected by full plate armor, he is the living symbol that as long as the standard flies, the line will not break nor retreat a single step.
THE BLACK COATS In the alleyways of the Free Cities, speed is the best defense. These mercenary duelists and assassins disdain heavy armor in favor of masks, flowing cloaks, and parrying daggers. They represent the lethal fencing of the underworld, serving as the perfect skirmisher unit to flank the enemy and eliminate key targets with a dirty but effective style.
⚔️ ADVENTURER TIER: THE WALL OF THE WEST
COMITATENSES WITH SPEAR (Heavy Infantry) When enemy cavalry shakes the ground, Rome responds with a shield wall. This unit represents the immovable force of the late legions. Equipped with scale armor and large oval shields, they have been sculpted in a closed defensive formation, ready to lock shields and stop any charge dead in its tracks. They are the disciplined infantry needed to form the center of your battle line on the Catalaunian Plains.
The kit includes the option to substitute their spears with swords, allowing you to assemble them ready for brutal close-quarters fighting.
