Marauder Spearmen

are a melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with Norsca (DLC).
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Warrior Gathering, Norse Encampment or Coastal Enclave
== Description ==
The tribes of Northmen that flock southwards with any Chaos invasion are known by those in their path as Chaos Marauders, natural fighters born into hardship and brought up in a world where surviving each day is no small victory. They have no time for plough or sickle, for their tools are the axe, the sword and the shield. What their own lands cannot provide, they simple take from the lands of lesser men. They have little fear of dying in battle, for they know that they fight under the scrutiny of their gods, and that cowards are beneath their deities' notice.
== Attributes ==
== Strategy ==
These units are similar to the Norscan marauders with the benefit of anti-large and higher melee defence rather than shields. They will do a decent job fighting/pinning large units but are hampered by their lack of armor. Rage can buff them with PR, but they need to be in melee for it to ramp up. They are extremely vulnerable to missile fire.
