Show us your pistoleers!

So I'm working on getting the old boys painted, and I am looking for a little inspiration. Please post your favorite unit of pistol-wielding madmen.  :biggriin:

my favorite pistolier unit is the "Greys" this piece was designed for the front rank to be jumping a fence with the resulting mayhem that could occur, as in getting spilled from the saddle. I think it was one of my better conversions. steveb

Like the dynamic feel of them jumping the fence -- like how the one in front is about to biff it and go tits over arse.

I think that's one my my favorite steveb creations. It's not as high-fantasy as some of the others (like the flyers, some of the Lustria stuff, etc. but it's a really great use of a basic kit in a creative and dynamic way.

My Pistolierios, mostly old DoW figures that came in a bargain bucket with no arms, so I scratch-built pistols for them. Oh, and back then I had forgotten they could not have a standard. So he doesn't count.

Oh, and when they dismount (in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay games) then this is what they look like ...



Weird thing ... their panache feathers change colour when they dismount. That's fantasy worlds for ya.

Delthos and Zak - very nice indeed. I very much like the colour schemes on these two units.
