HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

The Hahnbrandt Militia continues a series exploring ways
to utilise the creatures of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. It
presents a specific militia in detail, but also serves as a toolkit to
help create militia bands from across the Reikland and beyond.

Olde Weirde’s Incunabulum describes the militia of the Reikland

and an experience of the Hahnbrandt militia. Olde Weirde is
known for holding eccentric views, of course, and the average
citizen of the Empire is unlikely to have thought about these
issues to such a degree. As well as background information on
the militia’s most important figures, this book also provides
templates to enhance the abilities of militia, better reflect the
roles and skills of specialised troop types, and to make more
challenging foes, or more proficient allies, for the Characters.

To use the templates, you can add suggested Characteristic

bonuses, Skills, Talents, and Trappings to the default Soldier
statblock. The templates can easily be combined, so, for example,
to create a Veteran Scout, simply use bonuses from the Scout
template with bonuses from the Veteran template. The same
thing for a Halberdier Captain, and so on. Also included are
encounter ideas that can be used as a ready-made force to be
used in your games, and which can easily be expanded into more
complete plots and adventures.

her pistol at him. Following her lead, the surrounding scouts
all nocked their arrows and aimed, not just at Pfaff, but at
all of us.

I spotted Professor Gronighof edging backwards towards the

Marks shrugs this off. He doesn’t feel his position can be

much a part of being a soldier as firing a gun. Criticism is water

by a belly laugh. He’s not a sophisticated man, after all.

This is common practice, and the amount will not be ambitious.
They know better than to put their job at risk by being too
greedy with unknown victims.

If they sense any weakness in the Characters, then the halberdiers

will start to lean on them. They can use any pretence and their
approach will be backed up by possibly real, but probably
imaginary local by-laws that require the swift payment of a fine.
For example, trying to recruit a guide for a journey into the
Hägercrybs goes against an ordnance protecting the town from
commandeering of potential recruits, and is a five gold crown
fine. The purchasing of any silver item not directly from the
Hahnbrandt Mining Company is a breach of that company’s
monopoly and can result in a fine of anything up to 50 crowns.

If the Characters ever spend the night in Hahnbrandt, they

could well find themselves in the Forager’s Arms and are likely
to get into conversations with some of the many halberdiers who
use the inn as their base. If the Characters do not stay at the inn,
they can still encounter the halberdiers almost anywhere else in
town who will try to lean on them there.

If the Characters resist these attempts, then it could get violent.

The halberdiers have no real wish to incarcerate the Characters
or punish them through official channels, so they will just give
them a good hiding and then rob them. But they would much
prefer to keep the situation ostensibly civilised, using only
implied threats and negotiation.
