Spirit of the Jungle Infantry

Star Chamber Guardians (Temple Guard)

The Temple Guard are a revered and uncommon spawning of Saurus. They were created to protect the Slann Mage-Priests and the temple-cities in which the Lizardmen dwell. To their tasks, they dedicate every fibre of their beings, displaying a single-minded determination that will result in either the safeguarding of their charges or their own deaths. As protectors, Temple Guard are matchless. They stand sentry, silent and motionless, not even blinking their eyes. It has been known for Temple Guard to maintain such a sleepless vigil for centuries, thick layers of dust settling upon their reptilian forms - yet the ever-watchful guardians are not immobile statues, and can erupt into sudden violence should they perceive any threat to their charges.

Abilities

• Guardian
  In the midst of a bloodbath it's good to know that someone has your back.
  [[img:ui/Battle UI/ability_icons/resistance_physical.png]] Physical Resistance +15
• Primal Instincts

Attributes

• Expert Charge Defence
  When bracing, this unit negates the charge bonus of any attacker.
• Charge Reflection
  When bracing, this unit deals additional damage when attacking charging enemies.
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armoured & Shielded
  Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage. Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Charge Defence Against All
  When standing and bracing against a charge this unit will negate the enemy's charge bonus.
• Predatory Senses
  These units are natural hunters that can sense prey hiding nearby.
