The Noble Sons Abroad (Pistoliers)
The progeny of the great and the good of Imperial society, steeled and ready for the long fight.Pistoliers are young nobles who are not yet old or experienced enough to test their spurs in battle or join one of the Knightly Orders. However, the clarion Call-to-Arms pounds strongly in the veins of these youths, and many cannot wait to march to war and prove themselves on the glorious field of combat. Some spirited young nobles may gather their friends and form regiments of Pistoliers of their own, but most join the Pistolkorps, a military organisation funded by the Emperor, the Engineers' School and several Knightly Orders. Here, young nobles learn about horsemanship and war from grizzled veterans. Most who survive the Pistolkorps go on to join a Knightly Order and put their skills and scars to good use as fully-armoured Knights.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Decent Melee Combatant
Despite being primarily a missile unit or spellcaster, this unit can also hold its own ground when fighting in melee. - Very Fast
This unit can run circles around most other units, taunting and harassing the enemy or evading its missile fire. - Weak Against Armour
This unit's attack can hardly punch through armour and is thus wasted on heavily armoured enemies. - Vanguard Deployment
This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
