One imperial unit that has always had a place in my hear have been the greatswords, what's not to love about some big burly men wielding massive zweihanders after all! These soldiers are recruited by merit from the common rank and file, and serve as the personal guard of the elector counts guarding their persons and garrisoning castles and palaces. For my Altdorf army I went with the Carrobrug Greatswords, a storied regiment that adopted a red uniform after slaughtering a ton of middenlanders during a siege, and who have Karl Franz as their lord and liege.
While not the first time that I paint these guys, I went now for a more canon uniform, taking inspiration from the uniforms & heraldry book both for the paint scheme and the banner design
As with most of my latest empire models these are 3D prints from highland miniatures, namely from the set released this summer and based on the old 6th edition greatswords (my favorite!)
