Pit Fighter Equipment Question

Hi all,

do Pit Fighter Heroes/Henchmen HAVE to be equipped with a fighting style or can they start without equipment?

As i read the "weapons & armor" section its the first - they HAVE to choose a style but MAY change it later... i fear the argument "other warbands can let warband members unequipped" doen't count for the pit fighters?

What do you think, would you allow me to buy an additional "naked" pursuer for my 30 gold leftover?

Greetings

If you use that list I would say you have to buy that equipment. I prefer the other Pit Fighter list that doesn't restrict what you can take.

Thanks for the comment. I don't know another Pit Fighter list, do you have a link?

Warband is on page 138

It is in the ultimate Mordheim Rulebook. I am currently building a pit fighter warband as well. I hope to get some pics up in the next week or so.

That rulebook contains many house rules interspersed with official rules. Some of the house rules are terrible. I recommend that you do not use it. Instead, go back to the original source material for all rules.

There were two Pit Fighter warbands released. The Mordheim Watchtower lists the original source for each warband.

Since they are unofficial anyways, I prefer the older list. The newer list I never cared for, the styles force you into certain builds and to me never seemed "fluffy". Check with your group, but neither are overpowered.

Thank you all for your comments. A friend and i will start playing using the original ruleset, then when we are accustomed to them we maybe start thinking of house rules...

Regarding both Pit Fighter lists: i don't know yet which i will take, but my firt impression of the initiates is that they don't fit the gladiator style well. We will see...
