The rest of you, remount and follow me." Falvik said. The lizards perk up, utter a half bark, half snarl, and start moving faster. Their riders treat the chase as a game, and jeer at the rangers about the people they've slaughtered. Falvik drew his bow and selected an arrow. Controlling the horse with his feet alone, he pulls back, takes a deep breath, and releases the arrow. In their obscenely great overconfidence in their own power, these men had seemingly deceived themselves into thinking the Rangers could never hit them from that distance at that speed. The 500 strong Ranger Corp were the deadliest of the deadly in the Empire. The armor-piercing head of the arrow penetrates one mercenary's backplate, traveling through his kidney and intestines until it is stopped on the other side by the breastplate. That's Darksteel plate!

Anyway, the scouts open fire with their javelins as soon as they're in range. They score a direct hit on several of the rangers. OK, I agree that this is pretty OP. I have no unit capable of being totally immune to the expert, armour-piercing shots of elite rangers. They aren't, they found a weak point. The plates in the back are wider spaced.
