RARE UNITS

Warhammer: Inisfail
Contact The Old Sage

Rare Units are the most powerful troops in the army, as well as those that are least in number.

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

Famous companies of Dogs of War have on occasion fought alongside the armies of Inisfail, such as the Giants of Albion.

SWORD MAIDENS

Points/model: 15


There are many women among the people of Inisfail who have skill in the arts of war.  They practice with the sword to a level of perfection, able to perform a complex dance of death that has gained the Sword Maidens a fearsome reputation.  The Sword Maidens go to war along with the Fiann and fight to show their skill.

0-1 FIRBOLG

Points/model: 40


Firbolg are gigantic men who stand 7-8 ft. tall and are massively muscled. They are called Firbolg due to their ancient tradition of carrying a bag filled with relics of their ancestors, momentos and treasures that define their clans. They are mighty warriors and they are fiercely proud and loyal. Once they have given heir bond, it is never broken. They live in the upland meadows raising the fierce mountain cattle and hunting and trapping wild game. Their preferred weapon is a double-bitted axe or a massive spear.
