A specialized group of kossars from the city of [[Erengrad]], these Kossars have replaced their bows for black powder handguns. These guys are obsessed with their guns, as in they sleep next to the damn things and give them names after their first battle, and using a strelsti's weapon without his permission can result in said streltsi beating you to death with a bag full of stones. Due to their improved firepower over regular kossars, the streltsi think higher of themselves than other Kislevite forces and typically keep themselves apart from the rest of the army and have their own wagons and supplies separate to the rest of the army. They are based very closely to the real world Streltsy who were an elite unit in the armies of the Grand Dutchy of Moscow/Russian Tsardom created by Ivan the Terrible and who used them to conquer the Khanate of Khazan. They were armed with matchlock muskets and would they would use their axes to steady their muskets while they fired.

In [[Total War: Warhammer|Total Warhammer]] the streltsi have received a bit of a fluff update to their weapons. They used to have both a Handgun and Axe, but newer recruits would get into trouble when fighting as they would always try to get in one last shot against the approaching enemy, meaning they wouldn't have enough time to pull stow their handguns and ready their axes resulting in them fighting off the enemy with the blunt end of the handgun. Some Boyar eventually decided to play into this and ordered the handguns built for the Strelsti in Erengrad to be combined with their axes into one weapon, resulting in the [[Anime|RWBY]] abomination of a handgun with an axe head replacing the stock and butt of the gun (there is actually some historical precedent for this as flintlock pistols with axe bayonets saw limited use in 17th-18th centuries by German and Polish cavalry).
