Tai Bandits Melee Cavalry

Bandit Marauders

Whereas some cavalry bring a primal, instantly shattering force to the battlefield, other mounted warriors are suited to the slower burn, embroiling themselves in the melee and staying to continue inflicting casualties.

These marauders carry dual axes into battle so, whilst they get less power on the charge, their destructive capability increases dramatically once they begin hacking away at foes.
