In battle, head hurlers throw the heads of fallen foes coated with quicklime. These missiles are both dangerous and loathsome. Head hurlers combine the practical and the macabre in equal measure - they collect the heads of fallen enemies and preserve these by dipping them in quicklime. The limed heads are used as disgusting missiles in battle, flung into enemy ranks at surprisingly long range. As missiles the heads are heavy enough to cause injuries (and have an undoubted impact on morale) but it is the lime that really does the damage, causing nasty burns. Head Hurlers also carry swords for use in close combat should this be necessary. Head hurlers, however, also show little regard for their own danger and are not above rushing into combat without orders. | In battle, head hurlers throw the heads of fallen foes coated with quicklime.

In battle, head hurlers throw the heads of fallen foes coated with quicklime. These missiles are both dangerous and loathsome.
Overview
In battle, head hurlers throw the heads of fallen foes coated with quicklime. These missiles are both dangerous and loathsome. Head hurlers combine the practical and the macabre in equal measure - they collect the heads of fallen enemies and preserve these by dipping them in quicklime. The limed heads are used as disgusting missiles in battle, flung into enemy ranks at surprisingly long range. As missiles the heads are heavy enough to cause injuries (and have an undoubted impact on morale) but it is the lime that really does the damage, causing nasty burns. Head Hurlers also carry swords for use in close combat should this be necessary. Head hurlers, however, also show little regard for their own danger and are not above rushing into combat without orders.
Details
Head Hurlers are a fun unit indeed. They throw the severed heads of defeated enemies into enemy units, causing injuries and devastating morale. Their high missile attack ensures they cause plenty of casualties and units hit by the head suffer a major morale drop. They are also quite handy in melee and wield their swords well. They do however suffer from very low defense and no armour, so incoming missiles can kill them off. Their range is very short so they have to put themselves in harms way to throw the heads, so make sure to kill off enemy archers if possible before sending them in.
