Duelists are men of the shadows, their reputations dark and
bloodthirsty. They are men of iron nerve who stare unflinchingly into the face
of death every time they draw their pistols. As well as expert pistoliers,
duelists are master swordsmen, their close quarter fighting deadly and brief for
their opponents. Those who seek the services of a duelist must frequent dark
avenues and taverns to locate them, for they are enigmatic and elusive figures.
However any warband who secures their skills will reap great benefit.
May be Hired: Any warband
except Skaven and Undead may hire a Duelist.
Rating: A Duelist increases the
warband's rating by +18 points, plus 1 point for each experience point he has.

Weapons/Armor: Duelling pistol,
sword, dagger and cloak. The cloak counts as a buckler.
Skills: A Duelist may choose from
Combat and Shooting skills when he gains a new skill.
Special Rules:
Darting Steel: A Duelist is like a blur in
hand-to-hand combat, turning blades aside with seemingly little effort or
concern. The Duelist may parry using his sword and buckler if he can roll
under his weapon skill and not more than his opponent's highest hit roll as
per the normal rules.
