Nuln Ironsides

are an missile infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Thrones of Decay.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Gunnery School
== Description ==
One of the most lauded institutions in Nuln is the Imperial Gunnery School, a College of Engineers rivalled in the Empire only by that of Altdorf and operators of the largest cannon-foundries anywhere west of the World's Edge Mountains, save for the Dwarfs’. Apprentices and military men from across the Empire and beyond are drawn to study at the Gunnery School, many of whom make their way into its ‘Iron Companies’, that operate as its armed wing. Most numerous among these are the Ironsides, regiments of handgunners consisting of apprentices and retainers who are fitted out in a panoply of black-iron plate armour, reflecting the wealth and status of their patrons.

Nuln Ironsides are a direct upgrade to Handgunners. They fire the same projectile and work the same way, but with a significant upgrade in ranged firepower. Ironsides do four times as much damage as a unit of Handgunners in a minute, and are also armored allowing them to survive counter fire better. Unfortunately there are only 60 of them instead of the 90 with handgunners, which means that they feel the loss if units much more heavily.
There really isn't any reason not go get Ironsides the moment they become affordable, but it is highly important to keep these units out of danger, far more than Handgunners, due to their low model count.
