Gong Du Yellow Turbans Melee Infantry

Yellow Sky Heralds

These heralds are eager to convert all who seek to deny the approach of the Yellow Sky. This utter certainty of the arrival of the Great Peace leads them to believe they are invulnerable, and there is some truth in it.

Beneath their yellow robes and Taoist charms, they are well-protected by light armour, trained to parry blows with clubs, impossible to rout, and their charges shake the hardiest of enemies. However, their devotion can easily tip into frenzied fanaticism, sending them on an uncontrollable rampage.
