===Light Infantry=== '''Unggoy Cannon Fodders:''' Small, mean and all teeth, the Unggoy Cannon Fodders are perhaps at the lowest of the totem pole in the Banished hierarchy (Unggoy Suicide Squads debated). Whilst they may lack any actual firearms or weapons, Unggoy Cannon Fodders are still not to be underestimated as they swarm unsuspecting enemy units in a wave of five-foot methane breathers. Cheap and easily disposable, a large number of Unggoy Cannon Fodders are noted to even tarpit and take down a Carnifex through the sacred martial arts of knee-biting. '''Unggoy Mob:''' Unlike conventional Unggoy Lances, the Banished has trained and utilized their Unggoy as effective swarm units, these Unggoy Mobs are only kept together by the ruthlessness of the Jiralhanae. These Grunts are armed with the common and standard issue Plasma Pistols which have a special ability called "Overcharged" which allows for a more powerful and accurate shot once per game. Can be upgraded with a Needler which allows for better accuracy due to its homing function and more power through rending. Instead of the more common Plasma Grenades, Unggoy Mobs are armed with Shrapnel Mines that can maim and hinder the movement speed of enemy infantry and Dynamo Grenades to impair and disrupt vehicles, however the lack of Deacons within the more secular Banished means that the regular Unggoy are less likely to be riled up and used as suicide fodder. *'''Grunt Mules:''' Sometimes, a certain Unggoy has proven himself to be an excellent weapons vendor on legs. The Banished have found a use for these burlier Unggoys; turning them into a living supply depot. Thanks to extra ammuntion being far more available, a squad containing a Grunt Mule may re-roll To Hit rolls of 1 with ranged weapons. '''Unggoy Suicide Squad:''' Due to the lack of Deacons to persuade the regular Unggoy to go on a suicide charge, the Banished has instead decided to use a form of Social Darwinism. Unlike the more common breed of Unggoy most seen by enemy forces, the Banished has instead chose come select breeds of Unggoy they deemed as even more expendable, thus these different looking Grunts are forced to be equipped with a specialized methane back pack set to explode violently when close to enemy infantry or vehicles. To compensate for this, Unggoy Suicide Squads number at a dozen each and are relatively cheap to boot. Unlike the special ability "Zeal" found with the benefit of Deacons, these Suicide Squads instead have their own unique rule called "A Birthday Surprise" which sends the entire squad on a suicide run, increasing their movement speed and granting them Fearless special rules. '''Kig-Yar Lance:''' Like their Covenant counterpart, the Banished is known to employ Jackals to do their scouting duties and to assist their superiors. These Jackals bear the same role and duty as those from the Covenant, sporting shield gauntlets and coming equipped with standard weapons like Plasma Pistols and Needlers. However, they are also known to pick up the Stalker Rifle for sniping duties if needed. *'''T'vaoan Squad:''' Also known as Skirmishers. T'vaoans are the more brutish cousins of the Kig-Yar. Stronger, faster and more agile, Skirmishers have found a role within the Banished as excellent scout units and assassins; often assisting their Sangheili superiors in the Tactical Ranger teams for support. They are armed with Pulse Carbines, Needlers and Stalker Rifles. '''Thanolekgolo Swarm:''' The weakest form of Lekgolo is the Lekgolo themselves, these meter long worms, while individually weak on their own, makes up their disadvantages by overwhelming the enemy with numbers and voracity, these forms are called Thanolekgolo. What's more, their unstoppable appetite of metal, plastic and technology makes them a threat to the machinery and vehicles of their opponents by not only consuming the vulnerable wires or components, but also causing it to malfunction or even take complete control over their unfortunate targets, causing chaos and mayhem within the enemy's ranks. These swarms have a special ability called "Technological Consumption" which grants them either the ability to cause significant damage to a targeted machine, however they are vulnerable towards flame and melta-based weaponry and are completely useless against air units. '''Sangheili Squad:''' Cocky, arrogant and naive. These youngbloods are sent into the thick of battle to hone their skills at warmaking. But don't let their age fool you. A single Sangheili Minor is still a worthy adversary. Akin to an Eldar Guardian, the Sangheili are slower than the Guardians, but stronger in melee range. Can be armed with a wide variety of weapons such as Plasma Pistols, Plasma Rifles, Needlers, Needle Rifles, Concussion Rifles, Fuel Rod Cannons and many more. '''Jiralhanae Pack:''' As the Banished are predominantly made of Brutes, it is of no surprise that their most common front line infantry save the Unggoy are the Jiralhanae themselves. Due to their viciousness and love of violence, they have earned a place in some Ork societies, often used as Mercenaries and Bodyguards among famous Ork Warbosses. Armed with a Brute Spiker, Ravager, Skewer, Spike Grenades, Dynamo Grenades or a Brute Shot.
