Imperial Handgunner

Imperial Handgunner skin description

Another skin inspired by the days of pike and shot, this flintlock armed Soldier of the crown was the bane of any late knight or infantry slow and cumbersome in heavy plate Armour and worse he comes with a whole regiment of friends. Lightly equipped but well drilled and trained they brought the flash and smoke of death that brought the end of the Medieval period and on with the new century. Better valued than peasant line troops they often were given a ok melee weapon often in the form of a hand axe or short sword should the worst happen and a break in the line leave them overrun resulting in close quarters. His equipment is a thick checkered jacket with thick leather gloves to protected his hands from the flash and smolder. Across his chest a leather sash bearing quick rounds with a Gun bag at the back of his hip held up by a thin strip leather belt. His legs wear pale cotton trousers and his feet wear fine leather boots. Atop his head crowns a decorated steel Sallet (not much protection by it is something. "three shillings for the shot that kills their officer" - Sargent inspiring his unit above the yells and crack of shot.
