| Core Units are the most
common warriors in the army. There is a minimum number of Core Units that must be
fielded, and this varies with the size of the army (see "Armies of Albion"). There
is no maximum limit on the number of Core Units that can be fielded.
On this page are listed the basic Warriors of the Albion warhost. The
Warriors of Albion train from childhood in the martial skills of sword, spear, and
javelin. They also train to be hunters, and to live off the land. They are expert trackers
and foresters. They are taught to fight both in shield-wall formation, the schiltron, and
in open formation fighting. |
| LIGHT CAVALRY |
Points/model: 13 |
The Albion army contains a great number of mounted Warriors. The most
numerous among these are the light cavalry, who ride ahead of the main army to deal death
to their enemies. |
