Crossbowmen are clones that have had a set of claws and a sophisticated crossbow grafted onto them. Syhar commanders gather these soldiers, whose intellect is slightly superior to that of standard clones, into patrols. Their mission is to intercept intruders and to keep the peace around cities. On the battlefield they eliminate, from a distance, poorly protected units that represent a danger in hand to hand combat. The crossbowmen then charge as part of the second wave, right behind the hand to hand combat clones.
Deployed in great numbers, crossbowmen form cheap and versatile units that can be easily sacrificed. The volleys of crossbow bolts they shoot are meant to secure the advance of the regular clones, weaken enemy infantry and cover the company’s most precious creatures. Whenever the situation calls for it, they enter the fray and contribute to drowning the enemy in a tide of clones.
The Scorpion Crossbowmen Unit Box contains 8 pre-painted Scorpion Crossbowmen miniatures and 1 reference card for Confrontation: The Age of Ragn’arok.
