Giant rats, reroll all psych tests, stubborn while packmasters are alive
Slaves, can’t be joined by characters otherwise the same
Ratling gun now S5, move and shoot, points drop
Warpfire thrower, move and shoot but inexplicably goes up by 15 pts ensuring its still not taken
new ‘lightning gun’ weapon team, as warp lightning but in the shooting phase
Poison wind globadiers, points up slighty but d6 hits per ‘hit’
Night runners/gutter runners option for brace of warplock pistols

Warlord, same
Grey seer, knows all spells, unlimited warpstone chunks
Vermin Lord, doombull stats, lvl 4 wiz
