Empire Pistoliers
Deploy speed and disruptive firepower to the field with the Empire Pistoliers. Composed of hot-blooded young nobles eager to prove their courage, this light cavalry unit excels at circling enemy formations and peppering them with black-powder volleys before fading away into safety. For any general of the Empire, these skirmishers provide an invaluable tool to dictate the pace of battle and control the board.

Swift Harassers of the Old World
Pistoliers represent the reckless youth of the Empire's nobility. Shunning heavy armor for raw speed, they advance ahead of the main battle lines to scout enemy movements, disrupt march orders, and assassinate high-value targets like crewed war machines. For painters, this classic kit offers an amazing canvas to display traditional Renaissance-inspired military color schemes.
Supporting the State Troops
Within an Empire of Man grand army, Pistoliers function as a classic screen or flanking force. They perfectly complement the slower, sturdy blocks of State Troops by removing threats that try to flank your defensive lines, ensuring your main strategy goes uninterrupted.
Key Benefits of Empire Pistoliers
- Exceptional movement characteristics allowing you to easily reposition across the board
- Outstanding value with full optional parts to construct the heavily armed Outriders variant
- Strong short-range shooting capabilities that chip away at critical enemy formations
Tactical Placement on the Field
- Warmachines and Isolated Archers: Pistoliers can quickly slip past frontline defenses to shut down stationary ranged threats and artillery crews.
- Heavily Armored Cavalry: Against elite armored targets, Pistoliers should use their speed to retreat and bait the foe into traps rather than engage in direct melee.
- Mobility Over Might: Never lock this unit into prolonged combat; keep them moving to exploit openings and whittle down targets from a safe distance.
