‘Batten down the hatches!’
Over seventy percent of
piracy and smuggling in the old world and further a field is down to
Sartosans. Sartosa is one of the Tilean City-states, home to many of the
Warhammer World’s most famous pirates. Although in the north it is
thought that all Tileans are pirates, this is only really true of
Sartosans, and as such Sartosa is known as the pirate city. Pirate ships
of every shape and size are found in Sartosan ports. Unlike Brionne, in
Bretonnia, which openly welcomes pirates and turns a blind eye to their
dealings, Sartosa is actually run by pirates.
Sartosan
Pirates on the Battlefield
Although not usually
seen in large numbers, the Sartosan Pirates will often feature in an army
as a single unit if they have cause to do so, normally attempting to make
money using their dodgy deals.
The Sartosan Pirates
Regiment counts as a special unit in a normal Dogs of War army. They
follow the usual rules for use in other armies, except that only one unit
may feature in a Bretonnian army and possibly more if the army is stated
as coming from Brionne.

Unit Size: 5+
Equipment:
Hand weapons and light armour. May also one of the following:
additional hand weapon (+2 pts), pistol (+4 pts). May replace their hand
weapon with a brace of pistols (+8 pts), or a blunderbuss (+10 pts).
Special
Rules:
- Blunderbuss
The Blunderbuss counts as a hand weapon except that it is more
hazardous. If a 1 is rolled to hit, the Blunderbuss misfires, causing
a massive display of fireworks. The model carrying the weapon takes
one wound automatically and any models in base contact with it take a
S3 hit.
- Sartosan
pirates are skirmishers.
