Footman of Lordaeron from the Third War.
Footmen are warriors who serve as basic infantry in armies of the human nations. Footmen appeared as units on the human or Alliance side in Warcraft I, Warcraft II, and Warcraft III.
Footmen of the First War
These fighters are the backbone of the King’s armies. They are foot soldiers trained in the art of melee combat using the sword and shield. Well armored for maximum defense against attacks, they can also deliver a solid blow with their double edged weapons.
Footman of the Alliance from the Second War.
Footmen of the Second War
Footmen are the initial line of defense against Horde. Arrayed in hardened steel armor, they courageously wield broadsword and shield in hand-to-hand combat against their vile Orcish foes. The valorous Footmen are ever prepared to heed the call to arms.
Footmen of the Third War
The vast ranks of the Alliance armies have been replenished since the devastating battles of the Second war. Trained in the arts of swordsmanship, the stoic Footmen of the Alliance serve as Lordaeron’s first line of defense. Armed with broadswords and heavy kite shields, footmen are capable of breaking any enemy charge.
Footmen of the World of Warcraft
Footmen (and women) are now commonly used as city and town guards in human controlled lands. See Stormwind Guard.
