Lucky Ludwig

I think it was John Blanche who once said that the 'essence' of the Empire in warhammer was a man with a sword and a gun. I think this image really appeals to me - they're basically "us" in a strange and frightening world.

Enter "lucky" Ludwig and the "Long shots," so named for their accuracy and their marksman's reputation for gambling and luck when hitting his mark. Note the Sigmarite cards which I made out of plasticard. The narrative hook for this unit  is that anyone joining it needs to prove their marksmanship by hitting a card at 100 paces....blindfolded!
