High Elven Vanguards

[Two Variants - Medium Sized Models: 25mm bases]   The Vanguard of Leacianus’ military is mostly made up of those who have evoked the ire of some upstanding member of Leacianan society, or simply hail from lowborn families. Still, although they are considered the most disposable of Leacianus’ military, it does not mean they are essentially seen as worthless. The Nirloom ensures that all his troops are armed to the teeth when they clash with his enemies on the frontlines.   With the Liturium War raging on for four years, more Elves in Leacianus have perished than ever before. An unprecedented loss of life that has destroyed many families and left morale across the Triarchy diminished. To worsen matters, so many of the frontline soldiers that fought at the war’s beginning are now dead or too injured to go on fighting. Reserves are almost replenished and now conscription and levies have been enforced, a method Leacianus did not believe it would ever have to resort to. Much of those that makeup the vanguard now are not soldiers, but scholars, farmers, fishers, and even teachers. They were not trained for war like those in specialist squads. However they are not entirely without hope, for the Nirloom has ensured all his citizens that would die for him are armoured in exceptional plate and armed with weapons that still best what even the wealthiest knights of the Coalition could afford. Even a fresh and mostly untrained Leacianan soldier is still a deadly threat to an armoured knight from the Coalition’s forces.
