CORE UNITS

Warhammer: Inisfail
Contact The Old Sage

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 Inisfail").

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 Inisfail warhost.  The Warriors of Inisfail 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.
