Rules for army from Warmaster Magazine Issue #13 - "The Scouring of Darkfang woods" by Andy Judson. Compiled into (Mac)Wm by Anthony Snider.
Often, Witch Hunters prefer to work alone or in small groups... Occasionally there will be a need to gather together under one banner to drive out some great, dark army. While it's true to say they invariably fight for the greater good of humanity, their methods are often brutal and arguably little better than those of their enemies. A Witch Hunter knows that evil doesn't play by the rules however, and that to beat it, he must be just as underhanded. If a few innocents get killed in the process, "then it's regrettable...
Note: Warmaster magazine listed price of Witch Hunter army Handgunners as 55 points. This is corrected here (to Empire Handgunner standard of 65 points).
(Also changed name of "Hero" to "Witch Hunter", since a "Witch Hunter" army aught to have some "Witch Hunters" in it.)
