Bounty Hunter Question

Capture: The Bounty Hunter will always be on the lookout for the outlaw he is pursuing. Such contracts are numerous, especially in Mordheim so at the start of each battle nominate one of your opponent's heroes as the Bounty Hunter's mark. The Bounty Hunter gets a +1 to hit this model and must always move towards them (if he can see them), unless he can shoot (in which case choose). If the Bounty Hunter successfully takes the hero 'Out Of Action' he gains the hero's gold value as payment (of which he gives the warband half) +D3 experience if he survives the game and the Bounty Hunter's side wins. After the battle do not roll on the serious injury table for the hero, he simply counts as captured.

How do you calculate the gold value? Is it the base value for hiring the hero (ie: 35gc for a champion), or do you take into account his experience (as in henchmen costing 2gc more per point of experience)?

The additional 2gc per xp for henchmen is unique to them; normally there is no correlation between hero xp and gold value, so I would disregard that.

I would say that it would be the hire cost, plus the value of his gear.

Thanks for the answer.
