Instead of the red-and-black armor of a regular Chieftain, a War Chieftain wears a golden-bronze suit with slightly more powerful shields. Their head crests are also more ornate, with a larger forehead spike featuring a split "V" shape with jagged spikes lining the edges, and a smaller "Y" further forward on the helmet. This makes the War Chieftains more recognizable and intimidating in battle. | Instead of the red-and-black armor of a regular Chieftain, a War Chieftain wears a golden-bronze suit with slightly more powerful shields.
