I looked up both words to see if they meant something. “Cataphract” is a medieval mounted unit, so I think we’re off to a bad start. “Arcuarii” is just a word that Privateer Press made up, as the only Google results for just that word link to gaming related sites.
Continuing the Warmahordes reign of terror at my gaming club, I picked up a box of these guys. I was on the receiving end of the pull mechanic one to many times in a recent game, and I decided that I wanted to be able to do that myself. As well, I don’t currently have any heavy infantry in my army, and these guys plus another small unit of Beast Handlers and I’m at 50 points which I’m told is the next standard game size after 35.
Plus they look badass. Scott was saying in club chat the other day, that the more he looks at PP models, the more he likes them. Even the shitty ones start to look a little bit less shitty. I still think the jacks look ridiculously proportioned, and I don’t understand why everybody doesn’t play Skorne since they are the most beautiful faction in the game. (Although Everblight could even be tied…only reason I didn’t play them is that when I got into the game sooooo many years ago, they were a popular faction, and I just can’t do the same thing as others >.<)
I’m going to have to type out “cataphract arcuarii” a ton while painting these guys, to put their name into every tag. I’m working on the Immortals right now, and these dudes may be next.
