===Elite===

====Battle Magi====

Within the Imperial Legion it is entirely common to find large units of trained Battle Magi, or combat sorcerers.  The Legion takes in the best of the best, so it is not uncommon for them to find those with high magical talents.  These candidates are then run through the standard Legionnaire training and then some.  While the resulting unit is not as potent as other more dedicated units, such as spellswords or sorcerers, Battle Magi are surprisingly resilient and deadly in their own right.  Unlike other sorcerers, Imperial Battle Magi are extensively trained in the use of heavy armor.

14 pts per model. Elite. Skirmish, Infantry, Imperial.  10-20 models per unit. 

25mm x 25mm base.

====Nobles====

It is not infrequent for rich or noble folk to take up arms within the Imperial Legion.  Some may seek fame, political power, or perhaps just wish to serve their duty for the great nation of the Empire.  The end result is the same- the respective men and women are tested for physical fitness and the Legion determines if they are fit to join their ranks.  The nobles that are accepted receive the normal training, but normally are able to arm themselves with their own personal weapons, most frequently Ebony or enchanted.  Noble Legionnaires fight much like their more mundane brethren but are much better equip, and thus more potent.

13 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Imperial.  10-20 models per unit. 

25mm x 25mm base.

====Guild Forces====

While not at all a part of the Legion at times the army might hire along a small cohort of men from the Fighters Guild.  This act is quite often looked down upon by other commanders- after all, what reason is there to dilute the Legion with common rabble and brawlers?  Unscrupulous (or pragmatic) commanders often ignore such prejudices, treating the guild like any other number of common auxiliary.  The Guild fighters also perform decently in combat- charging forward in an often unorganized rabble that none-the-less strikes hard, felling enemies and receiving blows in almost equal measure.  They may not fight prettily but they often get the job done.

Elite. Skirmish, Infantry.  Fighters may be any of the 10 common races of Tamriel. 5-20 models per unit. The unit must contain at least three types of model, and and no single type of model may make up more than two-thirds of the entire unit.

'''Special Rules: '''

Specialists: Each unit may be composed of any combination of the four types of fighter, representing the different specialties of the freelance adventurers that have joined the local Fighters Guild. Each fighter has different choices of weapons and talents, as described below.

For every four models in the unit, one of the following upgrades may be made to any model in the unit: 

*Skirmisher: Upgrade armor to Glass Armor for +4 pts OR Upgrade one weapon to Glass for +3 pts. 

*Breaker: Upgrade armor to Glass Armor for +3 pts OR Upgrade one weapon to Glass for +3 pts OR upgrade one weapon to Ebony for +4 pts.

*Monk: Increase the ward save to 5+ for +3 pts.

One of the models may take the Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw for the cost listed in the armory.


====Imperial Knights====

Imperial Knights are members of the knightly orders of Tamriel.  Though they are technically not a part of the Imperial Legion, and enjoy independence from it, the group is often called into battle on the Legion's behalf.  Normally the blessed knights are only called when the need is dire- such as during the Oblivion Crisis, or one of many revolts.
It goes without saying that Imperial Knights are a cut above nearly all cavalry.  Each knight maintains their own personal arms and armor, most of which is nearly silver in color.  Long capes and billowing decorations flutter off the men and their mounts, more often then not embroidered detailing past deeds and exploits.  To their allies the sight of the Imperial Knights are rallying and joyful, to their enemies a sight to despair.

28 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Cavalry, Imperial. 5-12 models per unit.  May only be joined by Independent Characters who are also riding Horses.

25mm x 50mm base.

====Orc Auxiliaries====

[[Image:Es5s-orc-armor.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

The race of Orcs have long held a distinguished place in the Imperial Legion. The pariah children of Malacath, the Orcs have long inhabited the mountains of the north, forming barbarian tribes and hordes, ruled from the fortress-city of Orsinium. When small numbers of Orcs left their homes and wandered the empire, it soon became apparent to the Legion that the beast-like men were exceptionally hardy and skilled.  Naturally strong warriors and smiths, they fit best into the role of heavy front-line infantry.  To this day, male and female Orc alike are honored members of the legion.  Wielding great weapons, their tempers honed like a weapon from the Legionnaire training, the Auxiliaries throw themselves headlong at weak infantry formations with joy. Beneath their stoic demeanor lies an incredible rage, ready to be unleashed at any moment. Truly there is no greater sport than war- and in the Legion they get paid well for it.

15 pts per model. Elite. Fight in Ranks, Infantry, Orc. 10-20 models per unit. 

25mm x 25mm base.
