WHFB Marienburg Handgunners - Reporting for Duty

Here's a small unit of handgunners attired in the colors of that rich and aloof city Marienburg. The city that bought its independence from the Empire with gold during the reign of a corrupt emperor. Because of their great wealth, through trade, they can afford to hire mercenaries for their protection. They can also afford the best in weaponry and gear, as attested to by the latest style handguns and also helmets normally only seen on elite troops of the Empire.
This particular unit is assigned as Air Marines for the Marienburg Air Ship used in trading and also to impress and intimidate other less fortunate peoples.
They can also fight on land in close order formation.
Good as they may be, I wonder how they'd stack up against a unit of Space Marines?

    They look wonderful Dean, equally at home on land or in flight.

    Great stuff Dean - that airship just needs a few space marines on it to make it truly scary...

    Duelist with 2 swords and the pistoleer, if I recall.

    @ FMB & SimonQ - thanks for those links, they are excellent figures with equally fine colors. A good reference.
