Gong Du Yellow Turbans Melee Infantry

Huanglao's Paragons

Before Taoism was established, before it was codified into the fundamentals of the movement, there was Huanglao, the way of the Old Master. These warriors fight with the belief that the emperor is the first among equals and not beyond question or intervention.

Excellent on the offence and also good at defending, the paragons may be a small unit but they pack a punch once they are able to insert themselves completely into the furore of battle.
