Unit Name: Sewer Sentinels

Consolidation Thread: N/A
Unit Description: Sewer Sentinels are, to an individual, larger than the average Eshkin, well-muscled, and proficient in the use of various weapons and armour. They are aggressive by nature and are given to overt displays of prowess in order to intimidate those around them. They are bred to be superior to the common rat and behave as such. Their armour consists of stolen pieces of equipment often from Knights and armoured units. They then fashion these stolen pieces into their personal set by adding spikes and other smaller changes.

STRENGTHS
Pack Tactics: Eshkin units, including Sewer Sentinels, gain courage and efficiency when fighting in large groups. The more numerous they are, the less likely they are to succumb to fear, and they perform better in melee
Sharp Blades: Both their armour and weapons are of higher grade materials and craftsmanship, they cut deeper and slice easier. Paired with the elite training of these rats the combat capabilities are beyond those of most Eshkin warriors
WEAKNESSES
Costly: Their equipment is not forged by the Eshkin thus they rely on either scavenging or trading to gain the necessary items to
Overconfidence: Sewer Sentinels like most Eshkin, thrive on numbers. However, they may become overconfident when they outnumber weaker enemies, leading to poor tactical decisions.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
After the first battle against the human empires, the victorious rats scavenged the battlefield for corpses to eat and money to steal, moreover, many of the vermin stole weapons and armour scraps from the fallen enemies, replacing their own scrap with better and well-kept equipment. One such group of lowly Eshkin slaves began wearing the knight's armour they scavenged this initially amused their overlords as jokes of the dead were made and dances to celebrate their victory began. After the lords became bored the overzealous slaves were hanged for trying to look better than they were, however, the idea of Eshkin wearing knights' armour stuck with them, and soon a testing unit of larger rat men was established to see how much better they would perform with the equipment of the fallen enemies to support them. The rest is history and nowadays one can only hope not to come across these deadly sewer sentinels on their travels, for they will not only kill you but rob your corpse blind.
