New Releases - Myrmidons +Shasvastii Armed Imposition Detachment Gwailos

Myrmidons

The Myrmidons are ALEPH’s elite storm troops, and the spearhead of its efforts against the EI. They use Lhosts specially designed to accompany Achilles in combat. Their reputation is on a par with their leader’s and the influence he has over these tough and aggressive veteran soldiers is legendary. No man in history has ever had such loyal followers guarding his back. The Myrmidons are an extension of Achilles, and share some of his personality traits, like an excessive lust for violence and ‘at-any-cost’ actions. To them, each new combat must be the bloodiest of all, exceeding all that went before. The Myrmidons are sent by ALEPH to where fury and impetuosity can win if cold logic is insufficient. Like the old Thessalian Myrmidons of Greek mythology, their armor is painted in dark colors, conferring the look of a soldier ant. Fierce and dangerous, the Myrmidons are cruel and formidable warriors. Despite their savagery, they are considered the best assault infantry in the Sphere. There is no possible comparison to their efficiency and no adversary able to resist force as overwhelming as theirs. All their enemies fall, devastated by the infernal whirlwind of the Myrmidons, charging like a furious roaring wave of steel and death.




Shasvastii Armed Imposition Detachment Gwailos
The Armed Imposition Detachment is one of the Shasvastii units best known by human troops. This unit works as a strike force, taking part when the Shasvastii methodology, based on deception and pinpoint attacks, is not enough. They have been specially trained in assault and support techniques and exceptional physical condition is required of them. They must be versatile, fully confident of their capabilities, and demonstrating an extraordinary expertise in the use of weapons. Operating in teams of five soldiers or as individuals, the Detachment is considered one of the best of the Shasvastii Expeditionary Forces, a first class combat troop. Be it on open front lines, or fighting door to door, the Gwailos are qualified to expel enemies from the battlefield by force. Advancing behind the dark cloud of nanobots that serve them as cover, they act as if enemy fire didn’t exist.


It is said that they can take or conquer any kind of vehicle, spaceship, vessel, building, or facility, without any external support. This was proved during the Second Offensive of Paradiso, when the Armed Imposition Detachment, greatly outnumbered, made their way through a series of well-defended enemy positions in open terrain. Advancing along a narrow isthmus, they took the factory complex of Huà Miàn Systems and obtained another overwhelming victory for the Combined Army. It was a victory that cemented the Yu Jing High Command’s belief that there was no way of retaking Xiongxiang city. This was also the battle in which they won their code-name among human troops - ‘Gwailos’, Cantonese for ‘Foreign Demon’.
