our business is War

faCtion baCkground

In the war-torn Iron Kingdoms, few trades are more

lucrative than that of the mercenary. From reputable and

well-equipped companies to back-alley blades for hire,

mercenaries are a mainstay in all major nations. These forces

allow generals to launch attacks with plausible deniability,

bolster their standing armies, and employ tactics they might

otherwise eschew or weapons they might otherwise lack.

Playing MerCenaries

Above all, Mercenaries provide lexibility to the commander

looking to ill out an army. There’s a Mercenary to meet any

need a commander might have. These models can provide

speed, toughness, hitting power, numerical superiority, or

specialized support. This is true both for armies built under

the Four Star Syndicate and Highborn Covenant contracts

and for faction armies bolstering their ranks with these

soldiers-for-hire. A canny player should always consider

Mercenary options to enhance an army’s strength and

eliminate its weaknesses.

While most ight purely for coin, mercenaries have motives

as disparate as those of their employers. From the complex

and evolving agenda of Asheth Magnus to the honor of a

sworn ogrun bokur, the reliable discipline of the Steelheads,

and the greed of Jarok Croe and his assassins, mercenaries’

wide-ranging motivations strongly inform the skills they

bring to battle.

Playing Mercenaries on their own shows them in a diferent

light; contracts provide a cohesive play style and speciic

advantages that enhance the abilities of the included

models. The Highborn Covenant focuses on the magical

gunplay of gun mages and Harlan Versh. Talion Charter

solos like First Mate Hawk and Bosun Grogspar ofer

synergistic support to their troops. The dwarves and ogrun

of the Searforge Commission form a wall of iron that only

the most determined attacks can penetrate. Whether you

use them to enhance your existing forces or to strike out on

your own, Mercenaries are guaranteed to . . .

Groups with suicient resources often combine like-

minded mercs into small armies able to stand toe-to-toe

with any regular military force. The shadowy Four Star

Syndicate, the Llaelese rebels of the Highborn Covenant, the

swashbuckling pirates of the Talion Charter, and the hardy

Rhulfolk of the Searforge Commission are the most well-

known and inluential of these. Iron Kingdoms commanders

struggle to predict such organizations’ operations due to

their lexible composition—a shortcoming that has led

numerous forces unwittingly into peril.
