About the Unit:
The Gripping Beast Dark Age Archers are a versatile and essential unit for any Dark Age wargaming army. Representing the skilled bowmen who fought during the turbulent Dark Age period, these archers can be used to bolster the ranks of various factions, including Vikings, Saxons, Normans, and more. Their ability to engage enemies from a distance and support melee troops with ranged fire makes them a valuable asset in any battle.
Archers during the Dark Ages were often not as heavily armored as their close-combat counterparts, but their skill with the bow allowed them to harass enemy forces from afar, weakening them before the main lines clashed. Whether defending a stronghold or launching an ambush, these archers play a crucial role in the tactical deployment of your forces.
