Italian Wars Swiss Crossbowmen
Support your Swiss Pikemen with tried-and-true missile weaponry!
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. Although not to the same extent as their Landsknecht rivals, Swiss Pikemen were usually accompanied by missile troops for long-range support, particularly favouring the simple, rugged, and lethal crossbow.
This set gives you eight Swiss Crossbowmen, perfect for incorporating into your units of Swiss Pikemen or fielding as a standalone unit.
Sculpted by Michael Percy. Studio miniatures painted by Shane Moore.
