Italian Wars Swiss Arquebusiers

Support your Swiss Pikemen with the most modern infantry firepower available!

Hailing from the cantons of the Swiss Confederacy, Swiss mercenary pikemen were the primary originators of the vast mercenary revolution in infantry warfare which would go on to sweep Europe and usher in the era of Pike & Shotte. Combining impressive martial skill and discipline with fierce bravery and a willingness to go on the offensive in their massed pike columns, these men were for a time the predominant force on the continent. As the Sixteenth Century began, Swiss units began to incorporate more and more men armed with black-powder arquebuses. These weapons were crude but powerful, and would prove to be an omen of future wars.

This set gives you eight Swiss Arquebusiers, perfect for incorporating into your units of Swiss Pikemen or fielding as a standalone unit.
