Once per battle, at the start of your shooting phase, you can declare that this unit will fire an Arrowstorm. If you do, add 2 to the Attacks characteristics of this unit’s Longbows until the end of the phase. Add 3 to the Attacks characteristics instead if this unit has 20 or more models when the Arrowstorm is declared. A unit cannot use this ability if it is within 3" of any enemy units at the start of its shooting phase.

Re-roll wound rolls of 1 for Longbows used by a unit with burning braziers. The benefit of the burning braziers is lost for the rest of the battle if this unit moves or is attacked by an enemy unit in the combat phase.

When you set this unit up, you can declare that it is protecting itself with a barricade of sharpened stakes (you can use the stake models provided with this unit as a reminder of this if you wish). An enemy unit that finishes a charge move within 3" of a unit protected by stakes suffers D3 mortal wounds. The protection of the stakes is lost for the rest of the battle if this unit moves or is attacked by an enemy unit in the combat phase.

The leader of this unit is a Villein. Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of the Villein’s Longbow.
