The miles Christianus (Christian soldier) or miles Christi (soldier of Christ) is a Christian allegory based on New Testament military metaphors, especially the Armor of God metaphor of military equipment standing for Christian virtues and on certain passages of the Old Testament from the Latin Vulgate. The plural of Latin miles (soldier) is milites or the collective militia.
By the 5th century, the Church had started to develop doctrines that allowed for Christian participation in battle, though this was limited by a requirement that the fighting must be undertaken to convert infidels or spread the glory of Christ. Christians were not to fight for conquest or personal glory.
These 4-point Starter Warbands are an excellent way to get up and running. Each one contains a Warlord plus four points worth of troops plus a plastic Renedra base for each figure plus all the appropriate weapons including lead spears.
Please note that the pictures are for illustration only and that the actual figures supplied may vary (EXCEPT for the Warlord, who is always the figure illustrated!).
