====Talion Charter====

The Talion Charter are pirates led by Phinneas Shae, captain of the Talion. He gets to lead the Charter because he has the Commodore Cannon. Do you have the Commodore Cannon? No? Then you can't lead the Talion Charter.

In all seriousness the Talion Charter allows you to field any Privateer mercenaries. Leaving you with a list that's about as varied as Searforge (i.e. not much variation). Rules-wise they get a +1 bonus to the roll-off to see who goes first and the (awesome) ability to redeploy all solos in the army after Advanced Deployment is resolved. Talion lists are usually focused on infantry synergy; take a unit of Sea Dogs, buff it up to ridiculous levels, throw it at the enemy and hope its support models don't die.

As we may have implied above the main reason to run Talion is to field Phinneas Shae and the Commodore Cannon. Shae only works for the Charter (he won't work for any main faction or any other Merc contract) and the Cannon only works for Shae. Both Shae and the Cannon are truly awesome and well worth the restrictive list building.
