| Rare Units are the most
powerful troops in the army, as well as those that are least in number. There
is a maximum number of Rare Units that can be fielded, and this varies with the size of
the army (see "Armies of the Han Empire").
Famous companies of Dogs of War have on occasion fought
alongside the armies of the Han Empire, such as Al'Muktar's Desert Dogs. |

WAR ELEPHANTS |
Points/model: 220 |
Elephants are large creatures imported from
the Indus, and use for war and for beasts of burden. War Elephants
are specially trained for use in war. The Han equip them with a
Howdah carrying an armed crew of troops armed with missiles and long
handled halberd weapons. The usual crew will be made up of six armed
troops, plus the driver, who rides astride the Elephant's neck. The
driver carries a large spike to drive into the head of the Elephant
if it goes on a rampage. The howdah can also be equipped with a
single ballista. The crew rides in an ornate howdah decorated in the
colours of their Lord. |
