Illyrian Nobles Command

Illyrian Nobles were well-armed and armoured warriors, often featuring the full panoply of bronze breastplates greaves, and helmets. Illyrian armies fielded few cavalry and were masters of raids, ambuscades, and skirmishing. They used spears, javelins, and the Illyrian sica, a distinctive curved sword. Nobles displayed wealth with more body armour and sometimes imported or looted Greek weapons and armour, serving as elite shock troops or heavily armed skirmishers, in contrast with the more lightly equipped common infantry. Rules and stats for these warriors can be found on page 43 of the Hail Caesar Army List: Biblical to Early Medieval supplement and the Southern Illyrian Kingdoms army list in The Pyrrhic Wars supplement.
