and a bit of history
Literally, "double soldiers". In the German Landsknecht mercenary armies, these were the guys who volunteered for the most hazardous duty, and were therfore paid twice what everyone else was. They were the ones who chopped their ways through squares of pikemen using their zweihanders. Needless to say, they didn't have that great of a life expectancy.
It seems that they were also the ones "holding" the flanks and rear, namely preventing their buddies from fleeing 8)
Hot damn those look awesome! I think that I need them for my Mercenary force (God bless Don Quijote!).
I'm really liking these, but can't decide between the different heads.
Maybe I'll just have to buy two packs! :D
