A mysterious race found only on the Planet of Brim. Their origins a thing of myth and speculation. Stories tell of a group of Eldar wraith singers who were cast out by their craftworld, abandoned on the planet millennia ago they have adapted and changed to survive. Their innate special abilities honed in a different direction by their isolation and mixing of blood with humans over the years. They show no alliance, and mysteriously appear to offer their services to whoever can pay, be it a fortune in wealth or some unsubstantial trinket they always manage to ask for something the buyer can afford. Their appearance is human with hints of Eldar but differs from Witch to Witch, some wear wild costumes and expensive jewellery while others wear hooded cloaks and hide in the shadows. While every witch is unique they all share the same ability, to craft guns and ammunition from wraithbone. These weapons differ greatly from their Eldar equivalent in that they are more attuned to their wielder and can be used in many different ways.

Witch Guns:
A Witch Gun is an elaborate piece of crafted machinery, made from a combination of wraithbone and metal components its exact workings are known only to the gunslingers themselves. Each one is a unique ornate piece hand crafted by each witch to their own design, no two are alike but they do all share the same firing characteristics.
The witch gun fires specially crafted witch bullets made from a special kind of wraithbone. These bullets are specially adapted to the witches will and can be fired in many different ways. To craft a bullet requires patience and focus so they can only be made one at a time. The resulting round can be used to fire bolts of lighting, shards of ice or even summon entities to aid the witch in battle
Bullet Crafting:
A Witch begins with 1 Witch bullet in the guns chamber but may attempt to craft more during a battle. To do so they must sacrifice all other actions that turnincluding moving and shooting and roll a d6. On a 3+ they gain an extra Witch bullet to fire.

Entity Summoning:
A witch gunslinger may choose to fire a witch bullet to bring forth entities to do their bidding. In a combination of magic and will power the bullet is warped into a being that is the physical manifestation of the witches thoughts. In the heat of battle it can be difficult to stay clear headed, as a result the entity brought forth can be somewhat random.
Summoned entities arrive within 6" of the Witch and cost 1 Witch bullet. As long as the Witch is still alive they remain under the Witch’s control. If the Witch is killed they are immediately removed from play.
