Sentinels of Astaril are a High Elves missile infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Warden and the Paunch, available only to the
Yvresse faction.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Mistwalkers' Keep or Tor Yvresse (Elven City)
Summon[]
Description[]
When Eltharion set sail from Ulthuan, he was loath to take any Mistwalkers of Yvresse, for their Daemon-hunting expertise would be greatly needed if Ulthuan was to endure the onslaught of the Chaos Gods. However, Tyrion argued that one band of Mistwalkers, more or less, would make little difference to Ulthuan's fate, but might spell the difference between victory and defeat for Eltharion's expedition. Knowing wisdom when he heard it, Eltharion accepted the service of the Sentinels of Astaril, the very company with which he had honed his own skills as a youth.
Attributes[]
Mistwalker Hybrid Infantry
- ▲ Shieldbreaker: This unit’s shield-breaking attacks can significantly weaken the target’s chance of blocking missile attacks.
- ▲ Good Range: This unit has a larger range than most other units of the same class. This allows it to take out hostile missile units before they can come into firing range.
- ▲ Charge Defence Against Large Foes: When standing and bracing against a charge of large enemies (such as cavalry or monsters) this unit will negate the enemy's charge bonus.
- ▼ Low Rate of Fire: This unit has a very low rate of missile fire.
Unit Abilities[]
Passive Abilities[]
Strategy[]
Their achingly slow reload make these units a poor choice to take in bulk. However one or two can augment an archer-heavy army a great deal with their Shieldbreaker ability, allowing you to focus down valuable silver-shielded enemies. In melee they are lineholders rather than damage dealers.
