Riesenberger Colossi
If an untrained, unequipped and unarmored giantess is already a remarkably dangerous foe to face in battle, just imagine a properly outfitted and battle-hardened Giant Warrioress of 2.3m tall and 180kg of sheer muscle, clad in armour from head to toe, completely arrow-proof and more than eager to crush any opposition standing on her path. It would be the worst nightmare of any general to see that at the opposing side of a battlefield. And much to their misfortune, the County of Riesenberg has vast ultra-heavy infantry regiments of what they call Riesenberger Colossus.
​
Easy targets or not, the outstandingly-crafted steel plating of their armor is so thick that only the heaviest arbalests can puncture it. All else is easily deflected, rendering the Colossus a walking fortress that can only be stopped by nothing less than either a direct cavalry charge or artillery fire.
Typically marching to battle on loose formation to maximize the wide reach and attack area of their two-handed weapons of choice, a Colossus can charge right through tightly-packed enemy front lines, disrupting formations and swiping foes without mercy. For not even the sturdiest shield can resist a direct hit from them.
Thanks the goddess, the Giantesses are a rather peaceful people who avoids conflict whenever possible. But when Riesenberg goes to war, the ground trembles as their regiments march forth.
