Light Armour, Cutlass, brace of Duelling Pistols, Buckler

Charismatic
Cutlass Master: These short, single bladed swords are the mainstays of any pirate crew, and in the hands of a trained seaman they are superb weapons for close quarters fighting. If the pirate is equipped with a Sword, this skill will give him the additional benefit of also being able to parry successfully if the player rolls equal to number rolled to hit, not just higher as normal. This extra ability only apply if the Pirate is not in the open; i.e.., only when in cover or in a building, within 2" of a terrain feature like a wall or tree, etc.
Swashbuckler: The pirate cuts a dashing figure in combat, mixing dazzling swordplay and acrobatic feats with charm and witty comments. Even the basest villains in Mordheim respect (and curse) his ability to always seem to effortlessly slip from their grasp. The pirate may make a Leadership Test at the end of any Hand to Hand phase (pirate’s or enemy’s turn) if he is still in base contact with any enemy models. If he passes he may make a normal movement away from the enemy (he may not run or charge), without the enemy striking any blows on him. If he fails the test he remains in hand to hand combat and must fight as normal in the following turn.
Spy Glass: A pirate can use his trusty spy glass to examine the combat ground, spotting any yellow dogs who try to sneak about! At the start of his turn, the owner can try to detect one Hidden enemy model to which he has normal Line of Sight. On a roll of 4+, the model looses his Hidden status. The spying Pirate can move as normal in that turn, but cannot run or charge.
Enchanted Compass: This apparently broken compass does not point North put to what the owner most desires. Roll a D6 after every battle on a roll of 1-4 the Bucaneers' never ending love for rum has got the better of him and the warband find nothing but rum, on a 5-6 the Buckaneer has his thoughts straight and leads the warband to a mighty horde, D3 extra treasure/wyrdstone.
Can be hired by any warband apart from Former Guardsmen, Witch Hunters, Sisters of Sigmar or ones containing a bounty hunter

Philosopher 35gc hire/20gc upkeep +20 to warband rating
M4 WS3 BS3 S3 T3 W1 I3 A1 Ld8
Dagger, Crossbow, Club
May take academic, speed and shooting skills.
Philosophy; The Philosopher may learn these studies instead of skills. They are randomly generated like spells. He starts with one study.

2. Study of History: Allows the owning warband's models to hate the enmy warband on a roll of 4+ before the battle.

woot my special rule maybe a rule like charismatic?
-
I was thinking a different HS for that, but I will definitely write one with that.
-
well what other ones could there be the swashbuckler has already been done
-
I meant a flipped version,a femme fatale special rule of some sort.
-
Added several more. Thoughts?
-
Ronin is bit cheap
-
Might be that hired swords are all cheap but most of those seem pretty damn cheap.
-
They're all quite cheap tbh, but there again most of the above ain't that great.
-
3 more added.
-
I think you should raise the cost of the champ of Mal, he could smash the armadillo out of most people's leaders.
-
Done.
-
What were the katana rules?
-
2 handed, +1str, parry.
-
sweet can our heroes buy them?
-
It's rare 10, 20 gc.

Nice idea but he seems a bit cheap. Exploration bonus, kick ass fighting, the spyglass and very well armed. I wonder where the compass idea came from.............
-
i don't know :$
-
Bucaneer, no k.
I'll add these tomorrow, well done guys keep at it.
-
just been looking at femme fatale rule i think it should apply to dwarves as a dwarf would still be affected if you don't change this then surely all races other than human would not be affected or let us hire courtesans of different races lol orc courtesan dwarf courtesan lizardman courtesan ogre courtesan lmao
-
The above would make more sense. Why would orcs be attracted to human women? Lizardmen are immune anyway, as we don't know thier gender.
-
to be fair i dont think there are any orc females
-
Jubal how much warband rating do I get for a nighllamachman?
-
Um... dunno. Find another HS of similar price and use that.
-
How about a Norscan Wayfinder:
M WS BS S T W I A LD
4 4 4 3 3 1 3 1 7
Arms and armour:
Free dagger, sword/axe/falchion(Parry, Strength as user +1, -1 Initiative extra cost: 5 gc, )/mace, longbow, unique arrows may be bought for a Wayfinder, toughened leathers, helm may be bought.
Special Ability: Keen Senses. Wayfinders spot all Hidden models within DOUBLE Initiative distance
May take shooting, combat, speed and Norscan Explorers speacial skills.
May be hired by pretty much anything except Brettonians.
Cost 35, upkeep 15.
-
bit cheap
-
Yeah, I was basing it off the Stirlander Longbowman on Killer Shrike but he's rather cheap looking at others.
And I think Wayfarer would be a better name for him. Mabye 40 cold coins to hire, 20 upkeep. And remove the falchion option.
-
yeah ok
-
New HSs added.

How's this?
