I'm probably going to put some of these together shortly. The closest unit seems to be KoM archers. Ratmen scurriers have the throwing weapons but seem a bit too elite otherwise for Peltasts and Helots.

Any thoughts on it? Bows aren't ideal, but for regular, non-elite human missile troops, they seem to be the best bet. (Any info or movement on those KoW historical armies?)

Skirmishers were discussed at the beginning of 2nd edition and it was decided it was not needed and troops are often used as "chaff" to soak up damage. There is a historical supplement coming out mid year I think and maybe irregular troops will be addressed in it.
