	====Outlaws of Stirwood Forest====		====Outlaws of Stirwood Forest====

			Heroes:
			* Bandit Leader (60 gc, WS/BS/I 4)
			* Champion (0-2, 35 gc, BS 4)
			* Petty Thieves (0-2, 20 gc)
			* Cleric (0-1 replaces one champion or one petty thief, 35 gc, can do prayers of Sigmar lets goooo!)

			Henchmen:
			* Marksmen (0-7, 25 gc, BS 4)
			* Outlaws (Limitless recruitment, 25 gc)

			So, suddenly there are these guys we’ve never heard of. Robin Hoods, but some of them are actual thieves. They have a very specific rule towards ranged weapons. “All warriors in an Outlaws warband may be equipped with only one missile weapon at any time. All warriors must carry a type of bow, but not crossbows, as part of their equipment. So, even if an Outlaw acquires skills that allow him to use additional ballistic weaponry, he cannot do so. The only exception to this is the Cleric who may choose to carry a bow, but is not compelled to do so.”. I don’t understand this quite well and I hope future editors do. But moving on, they have an interesting hero choice, which allows them to have a priest and champions (which are quite decent) at the same time. The petty thieves aren’t that good, so I would exchange them for the cleric and more gold for the warband. Both henchmen options are nice and cheap. But wait, enthusiastic hooded youngling! They have exclusive common equipment:

			Hunting Arrows (30 gc): These are available to Heroes at the time of their initial recruitment without having to roll for Rarity. If you wish to subsequently purchase this item during the Trading and Exploration stages of the game, then you would have to roll for Rarity as normal.

			Forest Cloak (50 gc): So long as the wearer is beside a tree, bush or hedge, any enemy using any kind of missile weapon at a warrior wearing a Forest Cloak is at an additional –1BS to hit (in addition to all other modifiers). Similarly, if any spellcaster wishes to target a magical attack against an Outlaw camouflaged in this way, he can only do so by successfully rolling a 4+ on a D6. The only exception to this is if the shooting warrior or the spellcaster is already within their Initiative range in inches. Forest Cloaks are available to Heroes at the time of their initial recruitment without having to roll for Rarity. If you wish to subsequently purchase this item during the Trading and Exploration stages of the game, then you would have to roll for Rarity as normal. Availability: 50gc, Rare 10, Outlaw Heroes only

			Hunting arrows at the start of the campaign can be quite useful in combination with a longbow (which is also hero exclusive). Not to mention the hunting arrows are already useful for taking down important targets. The forest cloak is really useful!... unless you’re playing a campaign based on Araby, Khemri or any other forestless battlefields.

			Sample Warband:

			* Bandit Leader (65 gc) with longbow (15 gc), hunting arrows (30 gc) and a sword (10 gc)
			* Champion (35 gc) with two hammers (6 gc)
			* Cleric (35 gc) with bow (10 gc) and axe (15 gc)

			All that reduces our gc to 279

			* 3 Outlaws (75 gc for all) each one with shields (15 gc for all) and hammers (9 gc for all)
			* 3 Marksmen (75 gc for all) each one with bows (30 gc for all) and axes (15 gc for all)

			The final reserve is 60 gc. We got our sniper bandit (we didn’t pick the cloak because this list is for all campaigns with or without trees) A champion in charge of stunning whatever is in its path and the cleric balanced between ranged and melee. Our henchmen are also in charge of stunning everything and the marksmen have what they need to do their thing.

After 1-3 matches of this, congratulations you have won the campaign as you are now the sole player, don’t worry I hear Lucifer has a shadow warriors band just like you.


	~~====Shallow Beasts (Cthulu's crew) ====~~

	To cut to the point it is a Cthulu cult in Mordheim, except instead of worshipping the giant dream Calamari, you worship a deified version of jaws. The little lore that there is on these guys indicates that they are pirates with a divine agenda. Stromfels being the pirate god of storms is your main divine figure, though for the sake of home-brew and fluff, it is noted that there are many sea-creature worshipping cults around, another notable one being the cult of the Promethean, essentially a group of people who worship the most Horrific, Primal, Gothic and downright scariest iteration of Mr. Krabs ever to grace the tabletop scene. Instead of serving you up an underwater burger, they are more likely to cut you in half and feed off you before sinking back into the ocean while the cult members do some 'Oonga-Bonga' chant.

	~~So as i said, you have the freedom to pick whatever sea creature god you want and worship them, go nuts.~~

	As for their playstyle, they incorporate a rather interesting style of play, they combine some of the best aspects of a chaos aligned warband such as the mutation side of things, with the horde aspect of say goblins or orks with decent-ish stats.

	~~'''''Special rules''''': this is where it gets good.~~

	~~'''''Aquatic Mutants'''''~~
	This ability allows ALL of the heroes to buy a single mutation at the start of the game, which is unbelievably strong if you play your cards right, you can start with a warband of head-strong heroes that use mutations to make up for their inherent weaknesses.

	~~'''''Seafaring'''''~~

	~~Gives a bonus to boat stuff, only useful if there is boat and water combat, or boats in general, their heroes consists of:~~

	''Buccaneer'': your cult 'leader' essentially, the big cheese with an even bigger starting stat-line having 4's across the board to begin with for all bar 2 of their stats, to put this into perspective, they are 1 attack and 1 initiative away from having the same stats as a vampire, a FUCKING VAMPIRE....

	~~- add that on with the mutations and you are good to wreck ass.~~


	''Mutant Priest'': your caster of the group, can use chaos rituals, though it is always better to home-brew a deep-sea spell lore and get it approved by your Opponent/DM, stats are pretty strong for a caster. The priest has one massive ace up their sleeves which is the item known as ''Stromfels Heart'', long story short if you sacrifice 3 captives at one of your temples, you turn into a giant FUCKING SCARY OCTOPUS DEATH MONSTER that rapes everything you go up against, and even if it 'dies', the item is simply lost and the priest returns to normal, this item is funny as hell to use and gives you creative freedom to make a water-borne chaos spawn.


	''Foundlings'': Children who are taken in by the cult and converted into cruel, devout ruthless killing machine's from a young age, stats are weak to start with, but can re-roll advancement rolls, which is kinda useful but is also a bit meh.

	~~''Renegades'': Elite cult members, better than foundlings worse than Priests and Buccaneers, send in ones or twos to take out individual targets or small weak groups of enemies.~~

	~~''Wreckers'': Standard warband soldiers, they are pretty good with base stats and fill in the role of regular cult members.~~

	''Fishmen'': As the title suggests, mutated creatures/ humanoid individuals, they excel at going through water and don't have to take penalties for it, strong and situational, but expensive for what they are.

	''Swampers'': Ocean-druids which heal your guys, basically sit them behind your fighters and watch your opponent writhe as your 2 wound miniature gets put up a wound on a 4+, oh yea, and you can have 2 of them.

Bretonnians: did the french warband guide

	====Bretonnians====		====Bretonnians====

			This warband was published on town cryer 8. It has the “anti-dakka curse” which consists in: Take a Ld test with the warband’s leader. If it’s successful, the curse is applied. When a enemy model tries to fire a blackpowder weapon, it must roll a d6 first. On 4+, it can use the weapon normally, below, it can’t. When using any other shooting weapon, it has to do the test only if it aims against the Questing Knight or any of the Knights Errant. Also, the maximum warrior number is 12.

			Heroes:
			* Questing Knight (80 gc, WS/S/I 4, immune to all alone tests)
			* Knights Errant (0-2, 50 gc each, immune to all alone tests)
			* Squires (0-3, 15 gc each, shit WS/BS 2)

			Peasants:
			* Men-at-arms (0-8, 25 gc each, Ld 7)
			* Bowmen (Limitless recruitment, 20 gc each)

			Special Equipment:

			* Barding (Rare 11): Yes, the French are so french that the special stuff is not for their warriors, but for their goddamn horses. It adds a extra +1 save for a model mounted on a barded warhorse (so a +2 for the natural +1 of being mounted). A warhorse with barding will only be killed on a D6 roll of 1 (injury roll) if it’s taken out of action instead of the normal 1-2. The barding is exclusive to warhorses.

			Forget about the shooting and academic skills, they don’t exist here. Also, the Bret*nnians are so classist that there’s a equipment list for each type of warrior: Knight, Squire, Men-at-arms and Bowmen. Alse there’s this funny “If I don't, neither you do” mechanic with the horses. There is the Questing Knight, the Knights Errant and the Squires. The squires only can have horses if the Questing Knight or any Knight Errant has a warhorse, and the Knights Errant only can have a warhorse if the Questing Knight does. So, if you want all of your Heroes mounted, you have to spend 360 gc on them all. And we’re not counting the barding, which would cost a total of 90 gc more for all three knights, which leads us to 450 gc spent only on the horses and armour!... Moving on, all the three knights have this rule of immunity to all alone tests. The differences on the equipment lists are tricky so read the doc yourself is fucking free. Moving on, the WS/S/I 4 of the Questing knight is the best starting stat of the whole warband, the Knights Errant have nearly all 3s on their statline making them very basic, but the squire has 2 on WS/BS so it has the amazing job of intercepting enemy charges against knights.The men-at-arms are also nearly all 3s on their statline, better than a squire, but no missile weapons on their equipment list. The bowmen, as their name says, have access to bows and longbows, with a better BS than a squire. Let's move into the special skills. Of course, they're all exclusive to the Questing knight. Dispel a spell on 4+, re-roll failed hit rolls against enemies with higher Strength, re-roll a failed rout test if the knight is not knocked down, stunned or out of action, hate enemies with shooting weapons and finally, roll a D3 each time you want to charge, adding the result to the charge distance. So, in general terms, this warband can be quite expensive (damn horses) and have less ranged power than the average merc warband, but it can be really nice with the right choices.

			Of all things, they decided to… do this? C’mon, at least they should have new magic!

			Heroes:

			* Beastmen Chief (65 gc, The tough one, with WS/S/T/I 4)
			* 0-1 Shaman (45 gc, WS/T 4, uses the possessed warbands’ magic)
			* 0-2 Bestigors (45 gc each, WS/S/T 4)
			* 0-1 Centigor (80 gc, WS/S/T 4, has M8 but also I2)

			Henchmen (Bought in groups of 1-5):
			* Ungor (25 gc each, WS/S/T/I 3, Re-rolls all “lad’s got talent” results)
			* Gor (0-5, 35 gc each, WS/T 4)
			* Chaos Hounds (0-5, 15 gc each, WS/S 4)
			* Minotaur (0-1, 200 gc, WS/S/T/I 4, Fear and more rules which will be explained below)

			Ok, let’s start. This warband is plenty of basic stuff, but its attributes are better than a human mercenary warband. What you know first, the complete lack of ranged equipment and shooting/academic skills. You can’t take ranged equipment, never, nor learn new stuff to power up your chief or shaman. Moving on the warband, All of them have at least M5 to accelerate the charge and engage in melee combat and all the heroes and the gors have at least WS/T 4. The chief is nice with its WS/S/T/I 4 which allows him to be on the frontline without getting hurt as often as others. The spellcaster, a normally frail subject, has WS/T 4, which is also a good thing. The bestigors are good champion options, proving to be up to the job. The centigor is really good. Take the chief, give him M8, reduce him at I2, an extra hoove attack which is unmodifiable, no penalties on moving inside woods, and the drunken rule. At the start of each turn, roll a d6. On a 1, do a stupidity test, nothing on 2-5 and on a 6, immunity to psychology and have frenzy. The henchmen are also neat. The Ungors… do the job, and have the advantage of limitless numbers, at the cost of never turning into heroes. The gors can become heroes, have WS/T 4, but a limit of 5 per warband. The hounds are powerful and cheap. The minotaur is awesome. M6, WS/S/T/I 4, Ld 8, Fear, can gain xp, and the Bloodgreed rule. If the minotaur takes out of action all the enemies he has in hand to hand combat, roll a d6 and on a 4+, it becomes frenzied (it doesn’t specify it but it might be until the end of the next combat phase). Of course, there’s the disadvantage of being a large target and everyone will be shooting at the biggest bipedal aggressive goat in the group. Anyways, let’s move on to the special skills. Yes, they have special skills. Surprised? Me too. Don’t get excited, it's mostly normal stuff. Shaggy hide lets the hero have a double-handed weapon on one hand, Mutant lets the hero buy one mutation, Fearless makes the hero immune to fear, terror and all alone tests, Horned One “additional attack w basic strength on a turn it charges”, Bellowing Roar is for the leader only, which lets him re-roll failed rout tests. Manhatred, hate humans. And now, the million dollar question: DOES THE CENTIGOR HAS ACCESS TO THE SPEAR CAVALRY BONUS RULE, GRANTING HIM A S 5? I don’t know.
			But before we move on, the Billion dollar question: CAN A CENTIGOR HAVE A MOUNT???
			That question is better left unanswered. So, is this dakkaless warband viable? Of course it is! Well, if you are against a skavenslingers warband, probably you shouldn’t use this, but otherwise, it is nice
