If the group contains a Gyrocopter/bomber, add +1 to hit rolls for the Cannons/Organ Guns as long as the copter is within 12’’ of their target.		*'''The Spotter'''- Artillery Spotting in a neo-fantasy setting because why not?

	Introduced in the 2019 General’s Handbook, the Mercenary Companies ~~are~~ 10 unaligned groups that ~~can be~~ included in your army regardless of Grand Alliance or Faction. You wanna have your Free Guild army supported by Deathrattle? Maybe a Slaves to Darkness horde accompanied by some Ironweld firepower? Maybe you just want to add some Chaos monsters to your Ironjawz army. All of this is possible with Mercenary Companies!		Introduced in the 2019 General’s Handbook, and then killed off in the 2020 General's Handbook, the Mercenary Companies were 10 unaligned groups that could've been included in your army regardless of Grand Alliance or Faction. You wanna have your Free Guild army supported by Deathrattle? Maybe a Slaves to Darkness horde accompanied by some Ironweld firepower? Maybe you just want to add some Chaos monsters to your Ironjawz army. All of this was possible with Mercenary Companies!

	When it comes to building the models around a certain theme, then these guys are likely the most fun you’ll have. Maneaters can look like just about anything you can think of which allows for some creative looking models. Maybe he spent some time with the Ironjawz so now he wears a set of bright yellow armor. Maybe he was hired as a bodyguard to protect a mage from the Collegiate Arcane, resulting in a crudely made wizard’s robe and staff made from a gnarled tree limb. Or you wanna relive the Chaos Ogres of old and give him some nice spiky shoulder pads and ruinous marks. The possibilities are endless. The Firebelly might be a bit trickier since it has to be associated with fire, but maybe you can make him an ally of the Fyreslayers and give him a Gotrek-style mohawk.

	Except for the engineer and the gyrocopters, models from this unit are out of production (the organ gun and cannon, ~~for~~ be clear) making this group the ~~former must~~ powerful mercenary order in the game. Having heavy fire power is always a good idea, and you, if you were cunning enough to buy them before, can play them in the following ways for having them at full power:		Except for the engineer and the gyrocopters, models from this unit are out of production (the organ gun and cannon, to be clear) making this group the most powerful mercenary order in the game. Having heavy fire power is always a good idea, and you, if you were cunning enough to buy them before, can play them in the following ways for having them at full power:
	*2 organ guns, one cogsmith and a gyrocopter(370p): Okay, for this one? The first key is the Gyrocopter as a spotter. That +1 to hit is ideal. Then, you take the Organ Guns, and fire, say...3 shots. That gives you a good chance, without risking it too much. Rerolls let you avoid those annoying 'same' results for a misfire. This is basically backline artillary of death, and a great, GREAT horde killer. For those worried about how to model them? Thunderfire Cannons with some LoTR dwarves make a GREAT counts as...and they're even still Games Workshop to stop those annoying complaints!		*2 organ guns, one cogsmith and a gyrocopter(370p): Okay, for this one?

	*2 cannons and 1 gyrocopter(350p): No need for a Cogsmith when these cannons are this good. Low to-hit is handled by the Gyrocopter...and that D6 damage is GREAT. Expert character killer, or monster killer, and you got two of them who are out of range of anything except deep strike. Best part is? While they're out of print, Mordor Dwarves combined with a cannon from, well...anything, works. A great one is the Warmachines Pirate cannon. You could even probably get away with playing the troops next to them, as Empire troops. (Revenant cannon is also an option, looks a bit more in-depth, even if you can't really claim they're Empire)		*2 cannons and 1 gyrocopter(350p): No need for a Cogsmith when these cannons are this good.

	This guys are... Nothing special, really. Being forced to take the necromancer is already terrible, because he is quite expensive and specialized to help only summonable units. The horde that you can bring are good only if taken with the max cap, something that you can't do if you have the necromancer. Also, all of them are incredibly slow, easy to kill and with a bad ability to respawn. All at all is better if you grab Rampagers or ghouls if you want cheaps and good hordes. Only ~~sensed~~ with nighthaunt, because you can't ally the necromancer normally. Other than that, completely useless.		This guys are... Nothing special, really.

	Before the Cities of Sigmar, I would have said that ~~this~~ guys are the shittiest band of mercenaries, but now it is quite the opposite. The best way to set these troops is to have 2 units of ten outriders, who can unload a nasty hail of bullets, move around, charge the weaker enemies And hold objectives, all of this is greatly helped by the ability to appear from the edge of the table. Instead, if you want to go all out, take a big unit of 20 pistoliers. Keep them away, possibly using other units as shield while they shoot if possible, then, when the moment is right, move them, shoot, charge, shoot again and attack with their sabers whoever remained. Almost nothing would survive that, especially big hordes or nasty enemy tarpits, like sequitors (particularly them, because they wouldn't be able to use the save - reroll ability when you shoot at them.)
