ANTARES 2 SUPPLEMENTAL

FREEBORN CHARACTERS
V2.011 B

INTRODUCTION
The Freeborn army lists for Antares 2 has a wealth of units to
choose from. This is largely because it includes several
different lists in one: the vardosi, or true Freeborn; Ferals and
Rogue NuHu; and a few mercenary units.
Rather than extend that even more with the range of Freeborn
characters, we’ve included their de�nitions and options here.
We hope you �nd this more convenient!
The unit de�nitions are largely the same as in the Freeborn
army list, it’s just the special characters who have been added,
with their options. Of course, there is nothing wrong with just
using the special characters as the base command �gures in
each unit!
