Quartermaster Step
In the Quartermaster Step you can recruit new models for your Warband, purchase and sell Battlekit and Glory Items, and allocate Battlekit and Glory Items to the models in your Warband. Each of these activities is described below. You can carry them out in any order you like, and can swap back and forth between the activities as you wish. For example, you could recruit a new model, purchase them some Battlekit, then sell some Battlekit, and then recruit another model and so on.
Retire Injured Models
You can retire any model in your Warband that has 2 Battle Scars. If you decide to do so, remove the model from your Warband Roster. You can sell or reallocate their Battlekit or Glory Items before you retire them if you wish, or allow them to retire with their Battlekit in honour of the service they have performed.
Hire New Recruits
You can recruit models to your Warband in the Quartermaster Step in the same way as you did when you first created it. Any restrictions that applied to recruiting a model for your Starting Warband also apply when you hire a new recruit. For example, if the model’s Warband Entry says that only 0-1 can be included in a Warband, and you already have 1 of those models in your Warband, then you could not hire another one as a new recruit. However, if your Warband used to have 1 of the models but it has subsequently been removed from your Warband Roster for any reason, then you could hire a new recruit to replace them.
Purchase Battlekit
If you have any in your Strongbox, you can spend them to purchase new Battlekit from your Warband’s Armoury Tables that has a Cost in . Likewise, if you have any , you can spend them to purchase new Battlekit for your Warband’s Armoury Tables that has a Cost in . Add any Battlekit that you purchase to your Arsenal, or allocate it to a model as described below.
Any restrictions that applied to purchasing the Battlekit for your Starting Warband will also apply when you purchase it in the Quartermaster Step. For example, if the Battlekit had a Limit of 2, and your Warband already has 2 such items in its Arsenal and/or equipped by a model, then you could not purchase any more. However, if your Warband used to have 2 of the Battlekit and one has subsequently been removed from your Warband Roster for any reason, then you could purchase a replacement.
Battlekit that can only be taken by certain models can be purchased and added to your Arsenal, but can only be equipped by a model that is allowed to have it. For example, you can purchase a piece of Battlekit that has the “ELITE only” rule and add it to your Arsenal, but you could only allocate it to a model that has the ELITE Keyword.
Sell Battlekit
If you wish you can sell Battlekit or Glory Items. If you do so, you receive half the Cost of the item you were selling, rounding any fractions up. Add the or that you receive to your Roster Sheet. Note that some pieces of Battlekit or Glory Items state that they cannot be removed from a model, in which case you cannot sell them.
Purchase Glory Items
If you have any , you can spend them to purchase Glory Items. Add any Glory Items that you purchase to your Arsenal (you can Allocate it to a model as described below).
Allocate Battlekit & Glory Items
Battlekit or Glory Items in your Arsenal can be allocated to any model that is allowed to have them, and you can reallocate Battlekit or Glory Items from one model in your Warband to another model, or from a model to your Arsenal
A model cannot be allocated or reallocated any Battlekit or Glory Item that it isn’t allowed to have, or that exceeds the limits on what it can carry. For example, you could not allocate a piece of Battlekit that had the ELITE Only rule to a model that did not have the ELITE Keyword, and you could not reallocate a 2-Handed Weapon to a model that already has one unless the model has a special rule that would allow it to take it. Note that some pieces of Battlekit or Glory Items state that they cannot be removed from a model, in which case you cannot reallocate them.
Roster Step
The final thing you need to do is to make sure that your Warband Roster is up to date, and includes all of the updates and changes that happened during the Campaign Phase. Once that is done, you are ready to play your next campaign game. Good luck!
