	*'''Ship's Mates:''' Can only have one per Pirate Captain or Lord. An upgraded version of Pirate Crew for almost twice the cost that becomes Stubborn if a Pirate Captain or Lord is in the unit. Have better aim and the same fighting stats as a Buccaneer and a 50 pts standard; The Captain and Stubbornness will keep them fighting, again Sartosa's strengths is in its gunpowder with melee units meant to intercept units that got through past your guns lines (hopefully in a weak stat).		*'''Ship's Mates:''' Can only have one per Pirate Captain or Lord.

	*'''Powder Monkeys:''' Pistol fanatics that never run out of ammunition and have fencer S4 pistols with piercing 1. Armed with a Brace of Pistols, these fuckers get to use Pistol shots as melee weapons. A unit of 10 charging Powder Monkeys hits like a unit of 30 Empire halberds (but also AP(2)). Use them as shocktroopers, they should always be shooting something and charge the weaken troops (they are still ranged units with no armour, so they won't last against proper strength melee units)		*'''Powder Monkeys:''' Pistol fanatics that never run out of ammunition and have fencer S4 pistols with piercing 1.

	*'''Harpooners:''' Skirmishing javelin throwers, meant to be your cheapest ranged unit, get close to the enemy while staying light on their feet to avoid the enemy line of sight and shield bonuses. Alternatively, the leader can take an anti-[[Ogre Kingdoms\|Ogre]] harpoon gun. It's lumbering, so try not to move as much to get any value from it. A unit of 10 with a Launcher only costs a mere 80 points; remember that the Vanguard move from skirmish still lets you fire the big gun first turn.		*'''Harpooners:''' Skirmishing javelin throwers, meant to be your cheapest ranged unit, get close to the enemy while staying light on their feet to avoid the enemy line of sight and shield bonuses.

A flying Swivel gun Platform with two that fire to the front and back. Although multiple Swivel Gunners are cheaper the Flying Galley is way more durable for the points, even shrouding of a misfire, and with the ability to relocate when pursuing or fleeing line of sight without diminishing firepower. Repeating again, a Swivel Gun should be used to hunt monsters and full armor knights.

	*'''Hell-Hammer Cannon:''' 140 pts. Giant 72" S10 d6+1 wound Great cannon that reroll wound and bounce rolls. Hell-Hammer Cannon will obliterate monsters and elite infinity without wards. The Hell-Hammer haves alternative versions, so you can only bring one mega cannon unless in a really big game.		*'''Hell-Hammer Cannon:''' 140 pts.
