LegionReport

English:Legion · Characters

The officers of the Skeleton Legion, marching eighteen to thirty-five Legion Thralls across the Ashlands. Curiously, they are not Soldierbots but the lower-grade Skeleton Log-Head MKII.

Legions are members of the Skeleton Legion faction, found throughout the Ashlands, leading large patrols of Legion Thralls — 18 to 35 of them per squad.

NoteThis is an officer rank, not a named character. The Skeleton Legion's head is Cat-Lon.

They are not Soldierbots

The wiki flags this specifically: Legionnaires are not Soldierbots but the lower-quality Skeleton Log-Head MKII.

It is worth remembering, because the two look alike. The Soldierbot is the only Skeleton subrace guaranteed to be recruitable; the Log-Head MKII is a subrace the player cannot control. The ones commanding an entire legion are, oddly, the cheaper model.

Dexterity of 10 is the hole in that table — they swing slowly. Against that, Toughness 50 with Melee 50 means they stay standing, and are hard to drop in a handful of blows.

Gear

Legions carry a colour scheme, so their armour and clothing take on the Legion's colours.

The threat is what walks behind him

ImportantA single Legion is not especially frightening. The formation is. One Legion brings 18 to 35 Legion Thralls with him — one of the largest routine patrols in the Ashlands. In a region with no towns, no resupply and acid rain overhead, running is a better plan than fighting.
