BRIGAND WARBAND
BRETONNIAN BRIGANDS
Portrayed in peasant songs as dashing defenders of the low against the abuses of the
high, the reality of the bands of brigands that infest the forests of Brettonia is a lot less
proasic. Cutthroat, brigand, poacher, fugitive - all find refuge in the wild woods. They
belong to those who have been driven from general society or those who choose to live
outside its laws.
Brigands tend to identify themselves with the common folk and the peasantry and often
they rely upon the support and protection of the local folks. But not all brigands come
from the peasant class: there are tales of Brigand nobles and princes, disowned by their
families, fighting guerillia wars against their former homeland. While no brigand objects
to robbing from the rich, robbing from the poor is safer and easier as a rule.
As Mousillion started degrading, the brigands got fiercer, even more organised. A well-
equipped mercenary group can be outclassed by the combination of tough veterans,
guerrillas and unusual tactics

BRIGAND SPECIAL RULE
Look Out Behind You!:
Brigand warband members (but not hired swords) are adept at
ambushes and evasion. Subtract 1 from the initiative of a model attempting to spot a
hidden Brigand warband member.
Men of Low Character:
Brigands are justly suspicious of outsiders, fearing they may be
agents of the law. They may not hire any warrior that has knightly/noble, or law-
enforcing associations. This would be for now: a High Elf character (elven ranger), the
free lance.
The boss:
The leader of the brigands is often the meanest and baddest from the lot. He
rules by fear and the promise of loot. So the warband leader always must cause fear (if
possible). This means that if the leader dies and a successor is needed, you first choose
between the heroes that are horribly scarred, or are fearsome. If that is not possible you
choose like normal, but the new "leader" must get the fearsome skill as soon as he gets a
skill-advance. This automatically disqualifies all heroes with no strength skills.

1 SCARFACE
...................70 gc
Charismatic, successful, or just plain meanest, it takes a special breed of man (and
occasional woman) to rise to the top of the brigand cesspit. Often wildly individualistic
with wilder agendas, they command their ragged bands with example, courage, fear or
low cunning - often a combination of all of these.
Profile M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Scarface 4 4 4 3 3 1 4 1 8
Weapons/Armour:
A Scarface may be equipped from the Brigand equipment list.
SPECIAL RULES:
Leader:
Any warrior within 6" of the Scarface may use his Leadership value when
taking Leadership tests.
Horribly scarred:
Due to many fights the character is scarred deeply, either on the
outside, or the inside. In either case, this makes him very fearsome. The Scarface causes
fear.
0-1 FALLEN NOBLE
...................45 gc each
Down on his luck, but not on his moral or humour, this is the example of a nobleman
reaching rock bottom. Often persuaded by certain law enforcing citizens, he has no other
way out then to enrol in this shady bunch. His education makes often the planner in the
group and sometimes even the best fighter. Another great asset is that he may tap into
resources normally prohibited for normal brigands.
Profile M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Fallen Noble 4 4 4 3 3 1 4 1 7
Weapons/Armour:
A fallen Noble may be equipped from the Brigand equipment list.
SPECIAL RULES:
Old connections:
Due to his former life, he still is well connected. This gives him an
edge in acquiring all kinds of exotic items. The character gains a +1 on rarity rolls.
Knights Feats:
The causes of a man to lose his standing in society are many. Wealthy
men, Knights, even Barons can be driven to shame, cast out of their ancestral lands for
acts best left unspoken. Some still retain the bearing of their formal rank, performing
feats akin to those of their formal life. As such, a Fallen Noble may choose from the
Knight's Feats
skill list in addition to his ordinary skills:
KNIGHTS FEATS
1 - Combat charge
Some knights specialize in running down opponent on their initial combat
impact.
The character gain +1 attack and +1 WS when he charges.
2 - Lancer
The assault on horseback with lance, may best be the way everyone
imagines a Knight doing combat. Though this feat is very hard and difficult
to master correctly. And yet there is nothing more impressive than a knight
on horseback, using lance and shield to skewer his enemies.
The character can use this skill only on horseback. May not be combined
with combat charge.
If the character's first opponent(s) suffer an unsaved wound, the character
may continue his charge. Opponents are not allowed to strike back.
The charge may then be continued another 4", and any enemy within 2" of
that charge line can be charged. If the character does charge another enemy
he counts as charging in the next combat round
3 - Sword master
Some knights are such masters in wielding their swords that no blow seems
to reach them. When using a sword the character may parry, with reroll at
equal or higher.
4 - Armour specialist
Often a knight moves in his armour as if it does weigh almost nothing. And
blows that reach him seem to just bounce of his armour.
When using Heavy armour and shield the subject ignores the standard
movement penalty and his armoursave cannot be modified beyond 5+ due
to strength. This does not work on horseback.
0-2 HARD MEN
...................35 gc each
The best fighters in an brigand band usually fill the positions of rank by virtue of fear
and respect. While an eccentric cheiftain may be tolerated, or even admired, their
