Beastslayers of Bastonne (Foot Squires)

are a Regiment of Renown melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with the Foundation Update.
== Recruitment ==
* Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
== Description ==
The Beastslayers are the personal foot soldiers of the mighty Grail Knight, Duke Bohemond the "Beastslayer" of Bastonne. They are better equipped than other Foot Squires, donning heavier armor, helmets and wielding large halberds instead of the standard greatswords. Much like their fearsome liege lord, they excel at fighting dangerous beasts and ferocious monsters.
== Attributes ==
== Strategy ==
Foot Squires with slightly improved armour, leadership, and significantly better melee defence (+30!). Alongside a strong anti-large bonus, it is clear that this unit is meant as an armoured defensive anti-large unit. The Beastslayers are useful because they are the best anti-large infantry for Bretonnia, however because there can only be one on a battlefield, they are also vulnerable to magic, missiles, or any other kind of focused targeting to remove them quickly.
The Beastslayers could be useful when you want a very sturdy infantry unit that can also fend off monsters. Factions such as Beastmen, Vampire Counts, and Lizardmen come to mind.
