Warhammer Old World: Empire Archers
Protect the wild frontiers of the Old World with a versatile unit of hunters and scouts. The Empire Archers are skilled woodsmen who form the screening vanguard of the Empire of Man's armies. Unlike heavily armored state troops, these agile scouts operate in loose formations, using natural cover to harass oncoming foes with precise volleys of arrows. For any general, they offer an inexpensive and highly adaptable tactical asset to disrupt enemy battle plans.
Warhammer Old World: Empire Archers
- Flexible skirmish infantry that provides valuable ranged support and screens your primary battle lines
- Highly mobile harassers capable of navigating difficult terrain easily to disrupt enemy charges
- Multi-part plastic kit packed with characterful hunting gear, cloaks, and diverse shooting poses

Scouts and Woodsmen of the Empire
Drawn from the rugged forest borders and rural villages, Empire Archers excel at survival and guerrilla warfare. Equipped with sturdy bows and hunting knives, they track the beastmen herds and woodland threats before they ever reach the city walls. This box captures their independent nature, providing varying options for hoods, capes, and dynamic aiming poses, giving your regiment a realistic, veteran skirmisher appearance.
The Vanguard of the Empire of Man
Within the Warhammer: The Old World system, Archers function perfectly as core skirmish units or as dedicated detachments to larger blocks of State Troops. They can absorb enemy charges, provide defensive screen fire, and safely withdraw behind your heavily armored units when threatened.
Key Advantages of the Unit
- Skirmish formation makes them harder to hit with enemy ranged attacks and lets them move freely through forests
- Excellent hobby project for practicing natural textures like worn leather, cloth, and wooden bows
- Affordable point cost allows you to safely screen more expensive elite shock units from harm
Tactical Matchups on the Field
- Light Infantry and War Machine Crews: Their long-range bows can effectively pick off unarmored crew members and small scouting units from a distance.
- Heavy Shock Cavalry: Use them as bait to absorb powerful lance charges, forcing opponents into unfavorable positions while your main line prepares a counter-strike.
- Combat Assessment: While they will not win prolonged close-combat grinding matches, their value lies entirely in positional play and early game harassment.
