Essentially medium inf. with javelins.

I really like blessing them with Death-4 bless (lesser fear -3). If set to "fire nearest" they advance until in throwing range, and ..guess.. start "firing". Usually they'll get only one round of missile lobbing, as the enemy closes in in the next turn. Invariably on the following turn the enemies routes .. seen this even with indy knights which had taken few losses up to that point (1 of 9 IIRC).

But I have seen them sitting there, exchanging volleys with enemy Javelinists, too (guess who won, despite being in 2:3 disadvantage). They don't move as well, if the enemy is in range at the start of the turn.
