Darklands ATL-ILS-240-H Atalantes Toxotes Support Starter Host (Resin) Archers

Description

Darklands - Atalantes Toxotes Support Starter Host
Summary: Set of unpainted miniatures for Darklands
Darklands is a wargame set in a fantasy world not too different from our own. Beginning in the year AD 650, Darklands will combine various fantastical and historical elements found in northwest Europe in the so-called 'Dark Ages' in a wargame that will be intuitive, fresh and interesting. Much of its setting will be known to fantasy wargamers everywhere, and thus be very easily accessible. It also has the biggest gribblies you'll see in any 30mm wargame!
An ancient race of sea-farers and raiders with a long and troubled history of trade and war with civilisations thousands of miles from Atalantia, the Atalantes cling stubbornly to that crumbling land despite the encroaching seas and the efforts of their myriad enemies, much of whom were once their slaves. Indeed, such is the strife upon Atalantia that it is the will of many to return to their origins, as foolhardy as that may be, yet those still with their wits about them employ forbidden magic and unearthly weapons to keep their lands and their culture alive. Many believe their race is doomed - at least, upon Gæa - yet it would be foolish to discount the strength of their artifices and pay heed to the desires of fools, for the Atalantes have power yet.
Of all the city-states of Atalantia, Ilios - the City of the Sun - has perhaps the most astute citizens amongst the Atalantes, for they do not believe their path lies with the stars and decry those that do. Thus, the Ilioses plan and strategise against the myriad problems they are faced with upon this earth: the encroachment of the sea most of all, for lands are lost too frequently and Hephaestus sleeps poorly, and the growing strength of their former slaves and the raids of their enemies to the north and east. So it is that the Ilioses raise citizen-soldiers in numbers unheard of and turn to the ancient artifices that captured the power of the sun itself, the Colossi and the Tauroi and the Oplítes of bronze, for their pride is strong and they will resist the death of Atalantia until their dying breath.
The Atalantes Toxotes Support Starter Host, like almost all support starter hosts, contains a small Darklands host of around Encounter Host (499 gold) size, comprising a commander, a unit of ranged infantry and a unit of ranged monstrous infantry.
Starter Hosts are a great way to get into the dark fantasy world of Darklands for the first time, to expand your existing Darklands collection or maybe just to grab some fantastic miniatures to paint!
