Quote:(Sorry, no TRW head hurlers)
Well, some individual warriors could come up with an idea of hurling heads of dead enemies towards living enemies. We know that various things were being hurled, thrown and shot towards the sieging force by the besieged (and inversely) during various sieges throughout ages (not only heads, also rotting corpses of men and animals, often corpses of people who died of epidemic disease). So the idea of some men hurling heads is not that bad. The idea of entire unit of head hurlers is already strange. But the most ridiculous thing is that these heads have an armour-piercing (sic!) bonus in Rome TW :!:
The idea that a head is good for penetrating armour... what do they smoke in CA?! :mrgreen:
If anything, head hurlers should have an effect on enemy morale, spreading fear.
