A doctrine of combined arms lies at the heart of the Steelhead Company, and their riflemen are one of the most important elements of these combined forces. Working in concert with other Steelheads or the regular forces of a client army, the riflemen are skilled shooters capable of decimating enemy lines or providing covering fire to ensure their allies reach the enemy in one piece. Each rifleman is a sure shot; when ordered to concentrate their fire at a single target, a group of these riflemen become truly deadly.

A player may field two Steelhead Rifleman units for each warcaster in a Mercenary, Cryx, Cygnar, Khador, or Protectorate of Menoth army.
