The Freeguild Pistoliers are cavalry soldiers of the Free Peoples, the Freeguild and the Cities of Sigmar. They are master horsemen, mounted on Steeds and skilled in marksmanship and swordplay.[1a][5]
They are young brash warriors that ride their mounts recklessly and patrol the outer districts of the cities, and when they find a threat they use their steeds and firearms to escape to summon aid. As light cavalry armed with potent blackpowder weapons, they harry and harass the enemy flanks during battles, charging towards them as they shoot their guns, then finish them with their sabres.[1a][4][5]
They are led by Outriders and supported by Trumpeters.[5]
Wargear
They are armed with a brace of Pistols and Cavalry Sabres whilst the Outrider who leads them may wield a Repeater Handgun. The butt of their pistols and the hooves of their mounts can also be used for Pistoliers to defend themselves..[1b]
