These Marauders use a wall of spears to impale their enemies, ever in the hope of Ruinous exaltation.

Marauder Spearmen are a World Walkers Norsca melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with Norsca (DLC).

Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

The tribes of Northmen that flock southwards with any Chaos invasion are known by those in their path as Chaos Marauders, natural fighters born into hardship and brought up in a world where surviving each day is no small victory. They have no time for plough or sickle, for their tools are the axe, the sword and the shield. What their own lands cannot provide, they simple take from the lands of lesser men. They have little fear of dying in battle, for they know that they fight under the scrutiny of their gods, and that cowards are beneath their deities' notice.

Attributes[ | ]

  • Infantry spear Spear Infantry
  • Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a Modifier icon bonus vs largedamage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
  • Charge Defence Against Large Foes: When standing and bracing against a charge of large enemies (such as cavalry or monsters) this unit will negate the enemy's charge bonus.

These units are similar to the Norscan marauders with the benefit of anti-large and higher melee defence rather than shields. They will do a decent job fighting/pinning large units but are hampered by their lack of armor. Rage can buff them with PR, but they need to be in melee for it to ramp up. They are extremely vulnerable to missile fire.
