Tai Bandits Ranged Infantry

Bandit Hunters

As war becomes more advanced, weaponry becomes more easy to use for the common, untrained peasant. Yet some would say the old ways are still the best. The bow, although easy to pick up, is notoriously difficult to master, and only the finest become sharpshooters of legend.

Many bandit hunters are those who abandoned their life in the Han, yet others know nothing of military training. These warriors honed their skill hunting animals, and now turn their trade to the business of war.
