Strelets (Russian Musketman)

[Walter Hawkwood]

A reskin of Warlords Janissary to match uniform of Strelets fusilier corps, XVI-XVII century Russian infantry. They were established during mid-XVI century by Ivan IV as a modern and effective fighting force and were instrumental in subjugation of Golden Horde's successor Khanates, as well as proving to be a good match for Western armies of the time. They were abolished by Peter I in 1698 after several rebellions and a failed coup. Basically, they were following the path of Ottoman Janissaries - an effective fighting force turning into a priveleged caste bullying the state, and shared the same fate, but much earlier, thanks to Peter's reforms.

For the Tzar!
