| Hi folk, im thinking of building a Middenheimer warband for a campaign in the new year and have a couple of questions 1 i want to use a priest of Ulric and he will replace a champion slot in my starting warband, does his strenth go up to 4 as it would for a champion ? 2 Do hired swords come with weapons or do you have to buy them seperatly as there is no description of what he is armed with ? Many thanks Cian Shieldbiter | |

| 1) Each model comes with a Profile and a maximum for each Characteristic in his Profile. In this case, I think the Priest has the maximum Profile for a Human model, for which I think indeed S4 is the maximum. Check it out though, in the description of the Priest. Who knows he has a different maximum Profile. Don't count on it though ; ) 2) They come with weapons, which you cannot take away or change for other weapons. They do get XP, but they will always be using the same equipment, weapons and armour as with which these come when you hire them.
Many welcomes ; ) | |

| Thanks for the quick reply Meister Ostalgie, im getting my stats from Town Cryer 8 which states ST 3 and only lists a wolf cloak in his equipment. It does tell you which weapons he is able to use - is it just a case of choosing from the options listed ? In the middenheimer rules it says that all champions (and captains) start with strength 4 and im assuming that because the priest takes a champion slot he gets ST4 as a champion would ???

| He isn't a "Hired Sword" he's a normal warband Hero. He does not get the Champions S4. He could get S4 from experience but he wouldn't automatically start with it if it's not on his profile. http://www.mordheimer.com/hired_swords/hs_wolf_priest.htm - Quote :
- Weapons/Armor: Wolf Priests may not use any armor, trusting only in Ulric's protection. The only exception is that every Wolf Priest is garbed in a cloak made from the pelt of a white wolf: 6+ save. The cost of the cloak is included in the cost of the priest. Wolf Priests prefer the use of blunt weapons to those with edges, and thus may only use hammers, maces, clubs, flails, morning stars, and the two-handed version of any of these. The exception to this is the ubiquitous dagger that most models carry.
You have to buy him weapons. | |

| IMO, I would say he dont, as he is not a "Champion", he is a Priest of Ulric. |

| At this moment I play Middenheimers and I also started priest with S3. No rule sais he should have S4. In addition, he's got a nasty wolf companion for that ridiculous price to make it up for his S3 :-) . | |

I would say no unless I miss the print some place that it says that it's immune to psychology. Got my own question. Where is this game option listed? I know it was in TC 8 (from what I have read looking it up) but is it in the Annual as well (and I am missing it) or some other place that makes it "offical"? | |

| As far as I know the Priest was never declared official. I would recommend you instead use the excellent Miracle Workers article from the rather suspicious Liber Malefic team. The article can be found hereConsidering the quality of the material produced by the Liber Malefic I don't think you need to worry about it being unbalanced. | |

| Thank you. I see the only problem with it all is the priest don't replace heroes but add to them and thus say a Merc band can start with 6 heroes. Has this been a balance issue for people? | |

| ok that makes sense... with that said do the rules (as the doc doesn't say) specify what hero? Could I for example opt out of a young blood or champ? | |

| The mordheimer's excellent site is a bit out of date. Furthermore he is refering to the wolf priest that was featured in Town Cryer, not the one from the Miracle Workers article. If I remember correctly Werekin has stated that the priests can replace any hero except for the leader, but a priest may become the warband leader later on. | |

| There are two versions of rules for the Wolfpriest of Ulric. The first was released by GW but was never made official. The second was released by Werekin in the Miracle Workers article. Grumbaki is correct that the GW rules for the Wolfpriest say that it must replace a champion. You can find the discussion about the Miracle Workers article where Werekin changed the rules for how priests in that article are hired (they now replace any existing hero type) in this forum thread here: https://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t5284-priests-of-the-empireI have played the GW Wolfpriest several times in the past but I have not yet had a chance to play with the version from Miracle Workers. Even before the Miracle Workers article we were flexible in allowing the GW Wolfpriest to be hired instead of a champion or a youngblood hero type and I don't see any issue with this houserule for the GW version. | |

| So one of our players in the current campaign started over. He was looking at Middenheimers and I suggested he consider using a Miracle Workers Priest of Ulric. He read the rules and laughed at me. I read the rules and was embarrassed that I had suggested it. Pretty big nerf for a warrior that wasn't used that much to begin with. A Youngblood is a better deal. | |
