Gromril Armour

Alright folks! 3rd week of Mordheim and loving it!

Skaven player leading the warpack , in-between phases finding out about the Gromlir Armour.

Is there a spec on how 'heavy' it is and if they can buy it or not ? Can't seem to find anything about how heavy it is , so presuming he can try roll rare and purchase it for his hero ?

Will post pics of the table after we are done!

I've been multiple wounding.. non stop.

There's a FAQ about this in which Gromril and Ithilmar are classed as heavy armour. As I recall, Skaven don't have heavy armour on their equipment list, so they can't use it.

+1 to not able to use.

The FAQ I read was not very descriptive, what about random findings ? if Skaven hero finds G amour, can he wear it or is he forced to sell ?

As Skaven cannot use gromril or ithilmar armour, what's the point of keeping it? Might as well sell it and buy something useful.

+1 to can't use because it is heavy armour and Skaven can't use heavy armour.

Although he can't use it, one reason for keeping it and not selling it is for the purposes of trading. For example, if one of your guys was captured your opponent want to kill your guy so he can keep the warplock pistols. He wouldn't be tempted by mere gold, but he *might* be tempted by a suit of gromril armour. Alternatively it could be used to sweeten a ransom deal where *you* have the prisoner - e.g. "I will give you your Youngblood and this suit of Gromril if you give me that Tome of Magic" or something.

For what it is worth with the armour, in my group we have house-ruled that Ithilmar is treated as Light armour rather than Heavy.

Lord 0 , your response is exactly what we've settled. Just wanted to make sure my mate was not able to wear G.A. if he 'picked' it up. Cheers !
