MF Axemen

Post by hercimurthemediocre »

Will their be any such animal as an MF Axeman in the comming Dark Age lists? In the process of painting some for a demo game but don't want to have to rebase in the future.

I have a feeling that the only medium foot heavy weapon in the dark ages book are Irish but that you will be allowed a LOT of them if you want.

Since there are Irish in the Irish-Dane army, I suspect that troop type may be used there as well.

Wouldn't they still be HF but with less armour?

Not if their formation was less cohesive such as might be used fighting Welsh in their home terrain - which is, IIRC, where the lightened huscarls are recorded.
