RARE UNITS

Warhammer: The Free Companies
Contact The Old Sage

Rare Units are the most powerful troops in the army, as well as those that are least in number.

There is a maximum number of Rare Units that can be fielded, and this varies with the size of the army (see "Armies of the Free Companies").

Famous companies of Dogs of War have often fought alongside the armies of the Free Companies, such as Ricco's Republican Guard.

GREAT CANNONS

Points/model: 75


The Engineers of Araby have been able to construct cannons of intense power that rival even the Great Cannons of the Empire.  These cannons are sometimes hired out to the Free Companies.
