SPECIAL UNITS

Warhammer: The Gorrum Empire
Contact The Old Sage

Special Units are extremely specialised troops that appear on the battlefield less often than basic regiments.

There is a maximum number of Special Units that can be fielded, and this varies with the size of the army (see "Armies of The Gorrum Empire").
