Gherhard Ghenerick

(written by the Gray Sage aka Lex)

" ...the trice-cursed luck of this place", Gherhard mumbles as he puts away his

looking glass. Again his search had been fruitless and his hire to this Witch

Hunter Warband would barely cover his living expenses. Any fop of a

vampire in this dark and gloomy place seemed to tote unprecedented amounts

of armour. The earlier tales of armour-bearing vampires that had lured him

from his work at the University in the hope of finally finishing his treatise on

Blooddragons seemed less likely every day. "Oh well, those are the vagaries

of fortune.", he thought. He checks the action of his crossbow pistol and feels

for the familiar wait of his books, and the swordcane at his hip. Ready for

action he looks down from his elevated position and spots some Zombies

converging on the Marksmans below. Time to earn his pay, so he leans over

and bellows down.... "Hiya Sport... remember to aim for their heads.."

Sorry, but I could not resist these strange urges, I guess I should let off on

eating that strange stew that is currently served at the Twisted Goat, Chilies I

think it is...

Gherhard is an Outrider fellow (investigative scholar) for Altdorf University.

He considers himself somewhat of a gentleman adventurer. He has written

some well know and widely published treatises:

A Layman's Guide to the Empires Trading Families .

The Complete Compendium on Bretonnian Grailknight Heraldry .

Racial Poetry of the Known World .

Origins of Lewd Drinking Songs (The extent of plagiarism on famous

Bretonnian Ballads)

Tales From Beyond the Crypt (An extensive study into behaviour of the

Lesser Undead)

Currently he is working on A Treatise on the Lineage of Blood Dragons , a

work he often refers to as "Interview with a Vampire". For that reason he is

visiting Mordheim, where many vampires seem to be abroad.

Hire : Any and all if they go up against Undead, his fee will be 30 (but see

below !!).

He will rehire but not take a retainer.

Stats : 4 / 4 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 1 / 3 / 1 / 9

The Ld stat is normally only used for his own testing. But also check below !

GheGhe ( pronounced GiGi :P ) as he is often called by his friends and

colleagues, favours a Crossbow pistol and his swordcane... the Swordcane can

be used as a club OR as a sword in hand to hand combat. In effect it can only

be changed from Cane to Sword during combat. It can be reversed to a cane

when there are no active opponents in base contact. As he carries copies of

most of his books around in various pouches, he count as having light armour

against all missile fire.

Special abilities

Herald

When hired by a Marienburg or Bretonnian Warband they will be very

impressed by his knowledge and he will gain an additional amount of GC to

the level of their Captain, as he can identify their heraldry (difficulty 6 roll).

After a successful identification he can announce the Names and Deeds of this

captain to the opponent. The opponents leader needs to test on his Ld.. if he

fails he will be at -1 Ld for the rest of the encounter cringing before this

obvious powerful opponent.

Poet

When hired by a Skaven Warband (or ANY other Racial Warband if and when

they become available 8-) or by Middenheimers he will recite some inspiring

poetry before the encounter (and YES even the Skaven have their Heroic

Poems. 8-). This inspiration will allow the members of the Warband to shrug

of the first Rout test they need to make. If through some vagaries of fate this

will make the enemy rout before your side does, the Captain will double your

hire...

Drinking Songs

When hired by Reiklanders, he can enliven the campfire on the eve before an

encounter. He will first talk about and later sing some very lewd drinking

songs. Every member of the Warband will chip in and pay him some

additional cash (number of members in Warband x d3). As a result he will be

generally so well liked that the men would follow him into the Nether Realms

if asked. If the Captain of a Warband goes OOA, GheGhe can step in and take

the Captains place for the rest of the game. When hired by the Sisters his

reputation will have reached them in advance and the Matriarch will pay him

off NOT to sing. Coaching on

Undead abilities...

His unending research into the Undead allows him to identify any particular

opponent and spot its weak points. Per Shooting OR Combat phase he can

coach any model on the board (including himself !!) into finding the weak

spots. This will allow for one of the following:

a) modify your WS or BS by 1 point

b) auto-hit your opponent

c) get a critical on a 4+
