Hochland Long Rifles

are an missile infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Thrones of Decay.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Gunnery School
== Description ==
Master Engineer Leon Todmeister is credited with creating this modified Hochland hunting rifle, brandished by the exceptional Marksmen of the Imperial Army. Originally dubbed Leon Todmeister's Fantabulously Far-reaching Harquebus of Unforeseeable and Unperceived Bereavement, it was said that he could put a hole in a gold coin at 400 yards. It was also said, however, that Leon's assistant had a bag of pre-holed coins with him at all times. Whatever the truth may be, none can doubt this rifle's deadly efficiency, nor the elite training of the Marksmen that wield it in defence of their homeland.

== Strategy ==
The Empire's answer to Warplock Jezzails and Crane Gunners, they function in pretty much the same way as those units with the key difference of trading a shield for the Snipe passive. This enables them to fire undetected for as long as the enemy does not close on them - once they have, however, they are much more vulnerable to counter fire.
As with all long rifle units they can be devastating - particularly against problematic SEMs - but they require careful positioning to get the most out of them, ideally pulled back from your front line up a hill to get that all-important line of sight.
