Ostland - The Fireloques of Ferlangen

"The Fireloques of Ferlangen are a troop of deadly accurate handgunners that have fought throughout the Province of Ostland. Wearing the black and white of their home province, the Fireloques of Ferlangen bear no formal insignia, but superstitiously decorate their hats and uniforms with the bones of fallen comrades and other good luck charms.

Even amongst the stubborn Ostlanders, the Fireloques of Ferlangen have gained a reputation for tenacity, holding their gun line and unleashing volley after volley of fire into approaching enemies. Their refusal to surrender the flank against marauders of the north during the three-day Battle of Littered Bones earned them the nickname of Skull Clubbers, as without gunpowder for the entire last day, they resorted to using their beloved handguns as blunt weapons to stem the tide of the attackers."


Here comes the second unit of my Empire army: 16 handgunners (or 'Hakbutschutzen'), painted in the   Ostland painting scheme.
