Folks,

Can I please get an understanding on where in the lists the Russ (Rhos) will fall.
I am very keen to convert to the new rules but cannot get visibility as to what list book the Russ will come.

The defined Russ period is defined as 860AD - 1054AD.

I had some assumption that it would be in the "Decline and Fall" lists vs the Byzantum empire but see no reference there.
Again "Eternal Empire" lists later Russian states.

Will there be a Dark ages companion list

Can I get some advice please.

Cheers in advance.

I've always liked the Russ. They should be a tough army to use.
How would you classify them?

I would presume droves of offensive spearmen. Don't know if they will have integral LF Bow, or separate LF Bow units.

The question on a lot of rus and russian lists is the druzhina foot, impact+sword or something else?
