Editing Dogs of War (section)

=2nd Edition=
Mercenaries continued into 2e much as they had in 1e. The nascent lore for the Warhammer World, which first truly took shape in this edition's version of the corebook, establishes that mercenaries are plentiful without talking too much about them overall. ''Ravening Hordes'' features full rules for hiring mercenaries, and breaks them into several races/origins/affinities.

'''Imperial Mercenaries''' are, well, the mercenary bands of the Empire! Aside from generic champions and heroes, which ''all'' mercenary groups can debut, specific mercenary troopers are Lancers, Mounted Crossbowmen, Pikemen, Halberdiers, Axemen, Crossbowmen, Arquebusiers, and Foresters.

'''[[Hobgoblin]]''' warriors and archers can be taken as mercenaries.

'''[[Kislev]]''' makes its debut as a part of the Warhammer World in this edition. They offer the general Mercenary Knights, Cavalry Archers, Halberdiers, Axemen and Crossbowmen.

'''[[Norsca]]ns''', here called "The Norse", appear. Their available troopers are Huscarls, Bondi, Archers, Slingers and Berserkers.

'''[[Ogre]]s''' made their debut as mercenary troopers in 1st edition, and they'll continue it from there. Only generic and character-tier ogres for hire in this edition.

'''[[Orc]]s''' are the last of the available mercenary forces in this edition, hiring out Warriors, Archers and Boar Riders.
