Will his crew allow him to drag them into a quagmire, or will they take matters into their own hands?

The life of a freebooter isn't a simple one, but it IS exciting – and you just never know when you're going to strike it rich. Just remember, NO ORK CAN DO A MUTINY! THE STORYSkeeg Horntoof is an ork with big dreams: the biggest hat, the most dakka, and the ambition to become the greatest freebooter the galaxy has ever seen. As kaptin of Gork’s Revenge, he is guided by Da Freebooterz Code – a set of rules so outrageous they just might work. With a krew of misfits, meks, and mutineers, he sets out on a quest for loot and glory.

But Horntoof has his eyes on the biggest prize of all, and he has a plan – one that will take all his guile, all his kunnin’, and all his dakka. Da Freebooterz Code is going to make him a legend… as long as von Hume doesn’t obliterate him first. Written by Justin Woolley.

A rogue associate of the Order of the Golden Crucible — much to their chagrin — commanders begrudgingly deploy di Wulfe only at the insistence of influential individuals who believe his alchemical experiments to be an effective weapon, if pointed in the right direction. In battle, di Wulfe is a mad composer caught in the grip of an insane muse conducting an orchestra of destruction, a twitching smile of delight concealed behind his gas mask.  This set contains the notoriously unhinged mercenary Gorman di Wulfe, Revolutionary Agent, to build, paint, and play. Deploy him in your Crucible Guard, Cygnar Storm Legion, Cygnar Gravediggers, Cryx Necrofactorium, Dusk House Kallyss, or Khador Winter Korps army. Indiscriminate in his alliances, di Wulfe is an arbiter of rampant destruction for whichever army he currently serves, from Crucible Guard to Cryx. Some would describe him as an anarchist, wreaking havoc in service of ideals clear only to himself. Still, few would deny his impact on the field.  What’s in the box? Gorman di Wulfe, Revolutionary Agent (Mercenary Character Solo) Model supplied unpainted. *More playable armies may have been added for Gorman as new armies are released. To see whether Gorman is available for your army, build a list in the Warmachine app.
