WARHAMMER - Witch Hunter Characters by James Henley

Introduction

Everyone loves a good Witch Hunter; they’re just so hilariously daring and grim. So, to support the Mordheim witch hunter Warband, I thought I’d write a set of rules for Witch Hunter characters in Warhammer.

  Special Rules

• Witch Hunter Characters are used in the same way as Regiments of Renown and Dogs of War; a Witch Hunter will take up a heroes slot in your army and a Witch Hunter Captain will take up that of a lord. Witch Hunter Characters can be hired by any Warhammer army other Chaos in any of its forms (this includes Skaven), Dark Elves, Bretonnians and Orcs and Goblins. This represents that Witch Hunters travel around and will often be involved in battles with other races against an evil spellcaster or cult.
• Witch Hunter Witch Hunter Characters are subject to hatred against spellcasters and cannot be used in an army with a spellcaster as a lord choice or as the army’s general.
• Stubborn Witch Hunter Characters are stubborn (see page 85 of the Warhammer Rulebook).
