This is an awesome idea for a model. What kind of rules would it have though?? I cant imagine it being all that strong in combat but maybe it could barter the enemy out of its weapons or something like that lol.
That’s a very cool idea indeed, and I like AGPO’s paymaster take on it. In Chaos Dwarf game terms it could just make a cool unit filler for some fortunate regiment of CD warriors… or just a plain ol’ battle standard, just like a DoW paymaster.
I heartily endorse this project! A very cool idea. I think that perhaps you could use the model beyond just a merchant though. These might all fall into the same characterization, IMHO:
Slave Trader
Greenskin Liaison
Sorcerer
I can just see him twirling the ends of his curly moustache while contemplating raising the stakes of the deal…
I think it’s Greasus Goldtooth that has a special rule to represent his wealth, he tries to buy out opposition units. I think it would be a cool idea to have them try to buy out other units and have it effect their game.
Well i thought the same as AGPO, as a paymaster for a DOW army or Mordheim
I imagine him to be like one of those steriotypical arab traders, just like GRND says, twirling his moustache and looking down at some scruffy greenskin and wondering how he could fleece him
I wasn’t really thinking about rules, just the cool moddeling posibility, but now you mention it i can see him as having the stats of a sorcerer (the decreased movement because of his obesity), without the magic, but with Greasius Goldtooth’s bartering rule
I am sure to go straight onto this…after my entry for GH#5 of course…
For rules, you could get units at a cheaper point cost, as hes bartered for the gear and the blokes, or ‘sponsored’ the army for protection. Sounds good tho, he’d need a Hookah an turban.
