Subversion Rating: 8Investigation Rating: 6

Special Rules:

All Nobilist warbands may select Comm-links/Micro-beads at +3 Throne Geld per fighter. If selected, all fighters must be equipped in this way.

Information network: Nobilist Factions have extensive networks of spies and contacts in all levels of society. To represent this awareness, all Nobilist Factions warbands may choose to re-roll one (1) Investigation or one (1) Subversion Test during each game.

Additionally, Nobilist warbands must select one of the following specialties upon creation. This specialty may not be changed or removed once selected. Please note that some specialties may have adverse effects when facing certain opposing warbands.

Interstellar Commerce Guild: The warband is part of a vast commercial organization dealing in nearly any trade item. The warband receives an additional 3D6 income after every scenario. In the Bazaar, the Guild always reduces the cost of Uncommon and Rare items by 1D6 TG. However, the Guilds Investigation and Subversion Rating is lowered by -1.

Planetary Governors Court (Puritan): The warband consists of the Imperial Governor and his court, rulers of an entire world within the Imperium. The Court lowers its Subversion Rating by -1 but increases its Investigation Rating by +2. The warband may never hire any Xenos members or Hired Guns and may not include any non-Human model (except Psykers) above the rank of Footman. The Court is the only specialty with access to the Custodian rank (see recruitment below).

Safari beyond the Imperium: The warband travels beyond the boundaries of the Imperium in search of lost human colonies, STC technology, riches, and more. The warband increases its Investigation Rating by +1 and lowers its Subversion Rating by -1. A Safari warband may take Xenos models in the Footman, Retainer and Slave ranks and may hire Xenos Hired Guns. Up to two (2) Nobles may select weapons from the Heavy Weapons list. Models may use any non-Rare weapons from both the Xenos and Human weapon lists (so long as their rank allows it). However, Puritan factions view the warband with suspicion: When battling Puritan warbands, the Safaris Subversion Rating is lowered by -1 for each opposing Puritan faction.

Ancient lineage: The warband is led by a family as old as Humanitys expansion into the stars, perhaps even older. A warband of Ancient Lineage increases its Investigation rating by +1. Being around for a considerable amount of time has allowed the Ancient Lineage warbands to establish strong links with several population levels, they get an additional +1D6 TG income when working the following territories: 11-12 (Chemical Producer), 21-24 (A small favor), 25-26 (Information broker), 45-46 (Tradesman), 53-54 (Weaponsmith), 66 (Local Cells).The Duke/Duchess may be of Specie Abhuman Squat and if so, all Nobles, Footmen and Retainers must also be Abhuman Squat: the warband is an ancient Squat Household that somehow survived their races extinction.

Tainted Bloodlines (Radical): The warband is part of an ancient and genetically twisted lineage; its history filled with whispers of insanity and decadence. The warbands Investigation Rating is lowered by -2 but its Subversion Rating is increased by +2. The cost for mutations for all models is decreased by -5 Geld (to a minimum of 5 Geld), the cost for all Abhumans and Wyrds is lowered by -5 to their base cost (to a minimum of 10 Geld). The warband may take mutants in all ranks and Big Muties in the Retainers and Footman ranks. However, the cost for any normal Human models is increased by +5 Geld per model and the warband may never hire any model of the Ecclesiarchy or Redemption. Moreover, Human Hired Guns cost +5 Geld for each game. A warband with Tainted Bloodlines may use Summoningbut may only summon Warp Predators. Puritan warbands fighting against Tainted Bloodlines are subject to Hatred.

Hunting Rig Expedition (Radical): The most commonly encountered Nobilist warband throughout the galaxy, the Hunting Rig Expedition consists of a few high-ranking nobles armed and armored in specialized suits of powered armor of mysterious, non-Mechanicus origin.Hunting Rig Expeditions do not follow this warband list description; instead they conform to the Spyrer Hunters warband list from the Outlaws Community Edition book in all aspects except for Investigation and Subversion ratings.
