This time I present another individual warband sneak peak, the Bandits of Morgulia!

Given how harsh life is in Morgulia, it is little wonder that many of the most ruthless would turn to banditry in order to better their lot. Though most bandits come from among the oppressed peasantry, many are also members of the Boyar's personal armies who got too greedy or were driven out, or even disinherited members of the Boyar dynasties themselves!

Regardless of their origin, these ruthless criminals and cutthroats often band together in organized crime "families" and set up one or more hidden bases of operation deep in the woods or in large caverns or ruins. From these strongholds, they conduct raids and ambushes on merchant wagons, caravans, Boyar processions and levy collectors or, really, anyone unfortunate enough to cross through an area where they've set up one of their ambushes.

From these brutal ambushes, Bandits bleed away back to their hidden lairs to count their ill gotten gains and were one to stumble upon one of these caches, they would likely be astonished at the hoards of ill gotten lucre that some accumulate over time. Such a sight would be both dazzling and tempting and would likely be the last sight that the viewer would ever see...

So. What makes the Bandits different from the other Outlaws of Morgulia from a game standpoint? Bandit warbands specialize in Ambush tactics and so may set up one of their warrior groups almost anywhere on the table after all other models have been deployed. They're Maestros are also experts in both keeping their warriors happy and swindling them at the same time and so the warband counts as one model smaller for the purposes of determining income after each battle as their Maestro skims of the top of the loot...

Bandit warbands also Abilities and Spells that aid them in choosing their battles and accumulating even more ill gotten wealth. Their warband Ability is called, appropriately, "Banditry" lets them steal from the merchants even when not waylaying them! Likewise, their warband spell "The Road to Riches" can allow them to roll an extra die when looting after a battle but can also be used before a battle even begins to attempt to determine a better Objective! Finally, their warband objective "The Gauntlet" puts them in a position to attempt to Ambush their rivals along an open roadway!

Bandits are a rapacious and violent lot, difficult to root out at the best of times, and no faction is safe from their predations in these dark and chaotic times...
