Brazier Iron Rare 7/Cost 35 gc
A brazier iron is a weapon commonly used by witch hunters. It consists of a long heft topped by an iron cup filled with burning hot coals. In combat, the weapon takes on an eldritch quality as the burning embers sear the air as it is swung; opponents are sent reeling in flaming agony as they are set on fire.
Range: Close Combat: Strength: As user +1: Special Rules: Two Handed, Fire
SPECIAL RULES
Two handed: A model armed with a brazier iron may not use a shield, buckler or additional hand weapon in close combat. If the model has a shield he still gets a +1 bonus to his armour save against shooting.
Fire: The burning brazier coals atop the staff is deadly, capable of setting an opponent ablaze with even the slightest glancing blow. Whenever you score a successful wound with the staff roll a D6. If you roll a 5+ the victim is set on fire and immediately suffers a Strength 4 hit. To put out the fire he must roll a 4+ on a D6 during the recovery phase or he suffers a further Strength 4 hit. The warrior can do nothing while he tries to put out the flames. Other members of the victim’s warband in base contact can help him try to extinguish the flames by doing nothing else that turn but move. Each other warrior who helps the victim gives the roll +1 (but a 1 always fails). Furthermore the brazier acts as a lantern (add +4” to the distance to spot hidden enemies), and the wielder cannot hide.

Henchmen
Zealots
25 gold crowns to hire
When a man loses his family, home and all he cared for, religion is often the last refuge left to him. Such men become wandering pilgrims, bitter and dangerous fanatics who are prepared to avenge their loss at any cost. These men are called Zealots.
Zealots have forsaken their former lives and exist only to destroy evil and the minions of Chaos. Whilst they might have been peasants and craftsmen before, and thus may not be as dangerous in a fight as seasoned mercenaries, their determination and fanaticism should not be underestimated. Which Hunters find ready allies in their ranks, and many a band of Zealots is led by them.

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.

Animals: Warhounds are animals and so cannot carry anything (such as wyrdstone, treasure etc.). Furthermore Warhounds do not gain experience
Live in Kennels: Warhounds do not eat as much food or take up as much space as other warriors. A warhound therefore only counts as ½ a warrior when determining the maximum allowed in the warband.
