## ***Righteous Hired Swords***

### **Smuggler**

Smugglers are essential to a warband. Avoiding taxes and bringing items to the shop allows warbands to get a better selection and higher quality items.

Available for the Mercenaries, Sisters of Sigmar and Witch Hunter warbands, Smugglers are respected for their skill and prowess. A Smuggler who joins a warband firmly believes in the warbands ideology and goals to the point of being an integral part of the warband hierarchy, being hired as a Hero.

Smugglers become known to warbands through the black market. A Smuggler available for hire has had dealings with the warband in the past, been indoctrinated in the warbands cause and decided to leave their life of commerce to throw their lot in with their belief of the warbands righteous cause. Whether the Smuggler is tired of avoiding taxes and selling contraband or just wants to increase the adventure and profit gained from Mordheim's wyrdstone is unknown. The Smuggler becomes loyal as a warband member and is willing to lose life and limb in sworn duty.

Mystics who tap directly into the Winds of Magic, Doomweavers are both powerful and pitiable.

The energies they harness twist their bodies with subtle mutations. Yet the magic they wield is the stuff of Chaos itself, primal and nigh unstoppable.
