[Hill-men of the North] Angmar Housecarls image - DCI: Last Alliance mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

In a tradition of the Northern chieftains hold themselves with companies of Housecarls. These are sturdy and brute warriors, handpicked for the honour, with great two-handed axes, weapons that can penetrate armour or cleave a man in half in mighty strokes.
They wear the good armours to protect themselves from harm, and are renowned for their stout spirits.
Housecarls are deployed on the battlefield to cut down enemy formations, encouraging the friendly forces who follow in their steps toward victory.
