Description[ | ]
Deep within the Empire’s untamed wilds lurk countless mutants and beasts ever hungry for human flesh. Huntsmen are the skilled trackers who patrol the forests surrounding their homes to cull these foul monsters. Armed with a bow, duel swords and their wits, these grim warriors are adept at luring their quarry into lethal ambushes. When Elector Counts, especially those from the less 'civilised' provinces, muster regiments of militia, they try to gather as many Huntsmen to their banners as possible, organising the seasoned hunters to scout ahead of the main host and gather intelligence, disrupt enemy movements and pick off war machine crews with their lethally-accurate bow fire.
Attributes[ | ]
Hybrid-Weapon Infantry- ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
- ▲ Vanguard Deployment: This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
- ▲ Stalk: This unit can move hidden in any terrain.
- ▲ Fire Whilst Moving: This unit can fire while on the move.

Strategy[ | ]
While essentially being a budget version of Markus Wulfhart, the Hutsman General does offer some interesting strategies:
- The Oil Flask makes an enemy very susceptible to fire damage, Hail of Fire imbues fire damage on allies, and this can all be combined with a Bright Wizard with File:Wh main lore passive kindleflame small.png Kindleflame to further capitalize on fire weakness.
- They should not be relied upon to win a fight, rather to do consistent long range damage to key targets.
