Undead Rules Questions

Ok, my first Undead warband is not running the streets of Mordheim. I have been out of the game too long, as i am unsure of how the search for rare items works with these guys.

1 - Which Heroes can search for Rare items out of Vampire, Necromancer, Ghoul (yes, he's a hero after Lad's Got Talent roll), or Dregs?

I ask this because the warband entry states that Vampires use Dregs because they are able to go to merchants for items and such. I thought it was stated somewhere with explicit rules on the heroes of this warband, but I can't find where it states that the Vampire and Necromancer (and possibly Ghoul Hero) can not search for rare items, as the Dregs are the only ones that can go to the Market for items.

It's only part of their fluff Every Undead hero can search for rare items.

All heroes that were not taken out of action, yes

Ah, ok. In that case, more search rolls...
Thanks!!!

Next Question:

I know there's a ruling on the questions and answers, but I would like to know this forum's opinion on this matter:

Ghoul Hero

Do you allow them learning Weapons Training and therefor being able to use weapons? Or do you stick to the 'May never use weapons' ruling? From the rulebook:

Ghouls never carry any equipment, apart from a few bones which they use as primitive weapons.

We compromise with may never use weapons or equipment other than lucky charms and rabbits feet.

House rule it, I suppose. I've been cleft in twain by a Ghoul with double handed weapons before.

Speaking about Undead questions/rules, one or two people in my group where under the assumption that the "May Not Run" rule meant that charging zombies and skeletons may only charge 4". Am I right in thinking that that can charge double?

NO, they can't run, but they charge as normal.

Official rules would have hero ghouls completely unable to use items. My group has houseruled that a ghoul hero with Weapons Training can use weapons from the Undead hand to hand weapons list. Like Von Kurst, we allow equipment such as rabbit's feet as well.
