Warbands and Hired Swords

Warbands

This setting is written with a specific theme in mind and while you can use any warband in this setting some of them are not appropriate. The greed of humanity is too well known and all are willing to risk their lives in search of treasure. Norse and Pirate warbands may be a stretch in the Land of the Dead as they prefer the open seas or coastal raids. Halfling warbands are more at home in the Old World. Lustrian warbands, such as Amazons, aren’t likely to leave their rainforest for a desolate desert.

Tomb Guardians
Arabian Tomb Raiders

Hired Swords

There are plenty of swords for hire in the Land of the Dead; many of them are the last survivors of a raid on a Necropolis, while others are professional mercenaries. In the Land of the Dead you can only use the Hired Swords listed in this section. The Land of the Dead is a long way from Mordheim and even further from Lustria, and not every Hired Sword will be available.

You can use the following Hired Swords from Town Cryer magazine and the Mordheim rulebook: Halfling Scout, Tilean Marksman, Ogre Bodyguard and Pit Fighter.

Snake Charmer
Nomad Scout
Tomb Robber
Thief
