Skannfyrd Kinswords - Unit Box

The mainstay of Skannfyrd armies is the regular fighter known as the Kinsword. Every able-bodied free-man is considered a Kinsword from the moment of his achieving manhood until his death.

The Kinswords are not a militia of poorly equipped mediocre warriors as is the case with the militias of most other factions; rather they are a competent force of semi-disciplined troops. This is due to the frequency of battle on the borders of Skannfyrd lands and because Nordgaard has an abundance of high-quality, steel weapons and armor.

Kinswords are armed with a heavy sword and a round shield which they are trained to use both defensively and offensively.

When fighting alongside their Dwarven allies, Kinswords usually form up on the flanks, ready to charge the enemy once it has dashed itself on the steadfast Nordgaard shieldwall.

In general they constitute an offensive force possessing above-average morale.

Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.
