Heroes
1 Mercenary Captain
60 gold crowns to hire
A Mercenary Captain is a tough professional warrior, a man who will fight for anyone or against anything so long as the price is right. Mordheim offers such a man the chance to become rich beyond his dreams, though not without great risk. As ruthlessness and lack of pity are hallmarks of a successful mercenary captain, they flock to Mordheim.
Profile | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
| | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 8 |
Weapons and armour: The Mercenary Captain may be equipped from both the Mercenary and Marksman equipment list.
SPECIAL RULES
Leader: The Mercenary Captain is the Warband’s Leader and follows all the rules for Leaders.
Skilled Veteran: The Mercenary Captain may choose one skill from those on his table.
0 – 2 Champions
35 gold crowns to hire
In any mercenary warband there are warriors who are bigger, stronger (and often uglier) than their comrades. These men are called champions (or berserkers, sergeants or various other names). Champions are amongst the toughest and best fighters or marksmen in the warband. They often answer challenges issued to the warband and, after the Captain, get the pick of the equipment and loot.
Profile | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld |
| | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 7 |
Weapons and armour: Champions may be equipped from either the Mercenary or the Marksman equipment list, decided when the Champion is first purchased (he may not change back and forth). If they choose the Marksman list they receive a –1 WS and gain a +1 BS.
0 – 2 Youngbloods
15 gold crowns to hire
These are young fighters, often the sons or brothers of seasoned champions, who are still inexperienced. Hoping to learn from the Veterans they are eager to win their spurs in the savage fighting in and around Mordheim.

| | 4 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 6 |
Weapons and armour: Youngbloods may be equipped from either the Mercenary or the Marksman equipment list, decided when the Youngblood is first purchased (he may not change back and forth).

Henchmen
Warriors
25 gold crowns to hire
These dogs of war are grim, seasoned fighters, fearing no man as long as they have their weapons and armour. They form the core of any Mercenary warband.

| | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 7 |
Weapons and armour: Warriors may have equipment from the Mercenary Equipment list.
0 – 7 Marksmen
25 gold crowns to hire
The archers and hunters of the old world are famed for their skill, and it is said that they can hit a coin from 300 paces with a longbow. In the savage street fights of Mordheim they snipe the enemy from the windows of ruined buildings and pick out enemy leaders with their well-aimed shots.
