"A Legionnaire Sapper Platoon can add a Pioneer Supply wagon for +20 points."

These long service veterans are the best of the best and retain many of their ancestors’ unique symbols such as the long leather apron, an axe, and the large beard. Sapper units were not expected to live long and thus were granted such luxuries as the iconic large beard, which was otherwise strictly forbidden. Designed by Evan Allen Painted by Mark Hazell
