Peltast (Conquest)

Peltasts are Darknut Legion skirmishers armed with javelins.

Description
Ranged combat was expressly forbidden to any warrior who joined the Legion. Luckily, the civilian run garrisons and armies had no such taboo against attacking enemies from a distance. Peltast men and women were trained in lobbing spears from incredible distances, serving as a powerful skirmisher.
