During the [[Great Crusade]], the Headhunters became renowned for their appearance and for the fury of their mass charges of large infantry formations, which they favoured. The ferocious infantry warriors were also known for their ululating battle-cries which had a chilling effect on their foes. This would cause many to break before the Headhunters even reached their lines. The only exception to this was the '''131st Cohort''', '''"The Mountain Breakers"''', which was mainly formed of mobile artillery whose crews specialized in close range bombardments. The Headhunters' tank crews meanwhile placed importance on kill tallies, but paid little attention to lesser targets like infantry. They instead tested themselves on only the most powerful of foes the Headhunters faced in battle.{{Fn|8}}
