Armored Akkadian Spearman

The heritage of the Akkadian military can be traced back to Sargon the Great himself, who managed to usurp a throne and conquer an empire by paying a professional army to help maintain it. Centuries later, the same discipline runs through the veins of the mixed Akkadian militia, forging an organised force whose many arms work seamlessly together. Sword and spearmen charge forward under the shadow of their archer's arrows, striking a frontline weakened by the ensuring rain of chaos. Their weapons dance in harmony - vicious spears are thrust from a distance to hold off enemy advances while a swirl of swords slash through the openings they create.
