Drenai Army List Ideas

[Arguleon Veq]

The Drenai Warriors who are invading Cadia with the Ventrians in Winter Warroirs are described with;

Red Cloaks, Tall Rectangular Shields, Full Face Helmets, Breastplates and Spears. I think they are also referenced as having Spears and tall tower shields in other books too. It seems to be veterans that get spears and the citizen levy and militia tend to have swords in the Drenai books. So the Spearmen could represent the full time soldiers, able to work in formation. This will allow a better WS and will make the choice between the more effective Sword/Shield Combo more difficult.

So it wont be like Empire armies with only Swordsmen.

So one of the common units could be;

Drenai Spearmen; 6 Points
