Italian Wars Swiss Halberdiers

Support your Swiss Pikemen with these powerful halberdiers.

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. Halberdiers were incorporated into the pike blocks, with their versatile and deadly weapons able to deal savage damage at closer ranges, and disrupt enemy pikemen with ease.

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