Medium Units
Shieldbearer:Forming the main defensive unit of the Bloodsworn, the Shieldbearer is a formidable foe. With iron proto-plate, a large oval shield, and a light halberd-like spear, they are well suited to fighting both infantry and cavalry. They were well-equipped, disciplined, and fierce in combat, a match for many soldiers.
Gate-Keeper:A devastating new weapon, the Bloodsworn understand the need to an armor-piercing ranged weapon, and so created the bolt-launcher. With leather and chainmail, a sword, and a bolt-launcer, they are a vital part at defending positions, combining ranged firepower with melee capabilities.
Axe-GuardSome strongest of the tribal warriors are picked to join the deadly Axe-Guard. These men are the only truly offensive They wield an iron axe and round shield, along with several smaller throwing axes, and wear relatively light armor in comparison to other medium units, with only leather armor. They are masters of ambushing, and act as a shock troop.
Tribal Chief-Guard:Handpicked from some of the better warriors within the tribes, the Chief-Guard are the feared headhunters of the Chiefs. Wearing proto-plate armor, javelins, and wielding pole-axes, they are typically tasked with holding a key position or turning the tide in a shieldwall.
Wall-Sergeants:The second most common unit in the defensive roster of the Bloodsworn, the Wall-Sergeants is a fearsome example of barbarian ferocity meeting civilized discipline. Wielding deadly iron blades and round shield, these iron-clad defenders always hold the line in unbreakable shieldwalls, hacking down foes in an unyielding tide of bloody slaughter.
