Sylvanian Crossbowmen

are a missile infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with the Aye-Aye! Patch, available in campaign only.
== Recruitment ==
* Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel after awakening the Von Carstein bloodline in the Bloodlines mechanic.
==Description==
The peasants of Sylvania live grim and joyless lives, in constant fear of their vampiric overlords. Thus, just as the human rulers of other nations press their peasants into service, so do the Vampire Counts of Sylvania.
In battle, they are not a very effective fighting force, but are used in a similar manner as zombies or skeletal infantry. However, they are capable of independent thought, which can give them an advantage over their lifeless comrades-in-arms. In particular, they fight with the grim desperation of a man more afraid of his commander than his foes. And, of course, when the levies die in battle, they can simply be reanimated.
Sylvanian Peasant Levies are sometimes armed by the Vampire Counts, but usually carry their own weapons. Thus they are typically found carrying spears, staves, pikes, axes, hammers, scythes, farm implements, hunting bows, and occasionally crossbows.
==Attributes==
* Missile Infantry
==Strategy==
Next to the Sylvanian Handgunners, these are the only ranged units available to the Vampire Counts. As per the name, they function almost exactly the same as empire crossbowmen.
