Huntsmen

The ultimate irregular warriors, Huntsmen appear suddenly, throwing the enemy into disarray before melting away again just as swiftly.

Deep within the Empire’s untamed wilds lurk countless mutants and beasts ever hungry for human flesh. Huntsmen are the skilled trackers who patrol the forests surrounding their homes to cull these foul monsters. Armed with a bow, duel swords and their wits, these grim warriors are adept at luring their quarry into lethal ambushes. When Elector Counts, especially those from the less 'civilised' provinces, muster regiments of militia, they try to gather as many Huntsmen to their banners as possible, organising the seasoned hunters to scout ahead of the main host and gather intelligence, disrupt enemy movements and pick off war machine crews with their lethally-accurate bow fire.

Strengths & Weaknesses

  • Vanguard Deployment
    This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
  • Stalk
    This unit can move hidden in any terrain.
  • Anti-Large
    Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
  • Fire Whilst Moving
    This unit can fire while on the move.
