armored longbowmen
These troops, armed with the famous longbow, favour greater protection over
mobility. When engaged in melee, their heavy armour provides protection that
allows them to hold out quite a bit longer than their unarmoured
counterparts. The swords they carry provide a handy fallback weapon in close
combat.

The "armoured Longbowmen" that are on the totalwar.com website are the "Retinue Longbowmen" in the IGN preview.

this loks great, how can they be lacking in inantry when they can employ the flemish pikemen? and those polearmwielding guys sounded pretty tough too.

I think I just found my starting faction!
