Happy New Year (in a few hours at least)! I did say I planned to have the DoW update out this month, so here you go:
- Added Mercenary rule army special rule.
- Most models belong to a certain race as detailed in their Troop Type. This includes Human, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Ogre, Orc and Hobgoblin. Models belonging to the same race follow the ally rules for Bound by Blood. Humans, Dwarfs, Elves and Halflings treat each other as Trusted Allies. Ogres and Hobgoblins are considered Suspicious Allies to all. Orcs are Desperate Allies to Humans, Dwarfs, Elves and Halflings. However, all models may still use the Paymaster's Hold Your Ground! ability as normal.
- Removed blunderbuss as a weapon.
- If the Paymaster is slain, all friendly units within 12" (or 18" if he has a Paychest) of the paymaster suffer -1 to their Leadership for the remainder of the game. Paychest upgrade for Paymaster cost 30 pts. Paychest may be modelled separately from Paymaster.
- Added Money Lender as an option for the Paymaster. Sheikh Yadosh follows the rules for Money Lenders. If a Paymaster is accompanied by a Money Lender, any friendly unit making use of his Hold Your Ground ability gain a +1 modifier to the unit's Leadership.

- New Special Unit: Mercenary Orcs.
- New Rare Unit: Onager (Stone Thrower).
