From Curt: 10mm Pistoliers for Warhammer Fantasy (III of VII) (48 Points)

Thank you Peter for letting me under the red lanyard and muck in with the rest of your Monday crew. Also, hats off to you for once again serving as a faithful minion to this barely organized madness that we call The Challenge. I forever enjoy your clever pulp posters and Tuesday greetings, and you always have something thoughtful to say to each of your charges (and sometimes its even nice and helpful). ;) Thanks again mate, you were terrific.

Okay, this post number three to my ever-expanding Empire army. Today we have a regiment of Pistoliers trotting into line as reinforcements. 

These guys are basically the Warhammer equivalent of Renaissance 'Reiters'. Historially these chaps would use their heavy pistols to roll up and attempt to break up enemy formations, softening them up for the charge. Usually they would be in fairly tight, regimented formations called a 'caracole,' but these fellows are in a more flexible, skirmish formation. 

Again, I put in a clump of trees for a bit of fun (and it saves me from filling the base with figures). 

Aaand a gratuitous, as-it-stands-now, group shot of the force.

As to points, there are 16 of these Reiters in this unit, which should give me 48 points.

Thanks for popping in for a look. Maybe see you tomorrow with another reinforcement for the Empire!

I do like these guys Curt, they have some added style to the normally utilitarian Reiter look.  Excellent basing and tree too.  I look forward to riding these guys into the dust on table.

Happy to Minion MONDAY for you Curt. My MONDAY crew is a great bunch who've produced some top shelf work and two Minions' Choice awards.  Nothing like that unruly bunch that Tamsin fails to control on Tuesday.
