Squad: The Frateris Militia consists of 5-20 Frateris Militia. They count as one Troops choice.
Weapons: The Frateris Militia are equiped with lasguns, autoguns, laspistols and swords, or autopistols and swords.
Options: For every 5 models, one Frateris Militia may replace his standard weapons for one of the following weapons: Boltgun +2 points, Bolt pistol +1 points, Combat Shotgun +2 points, Flamer +3 points, or Heavy Stubber +5 points.

Special Rules

Frateris Standard: Any Frateris Militia squad may contain a Frateris Standard at +15 points. The Frateris Standard adds +1 to any combat scores that take place within 6” of the standard. If the standard bearer is slain, and the Frateris Militia are not broken, another model will automatically pick up the standard. If the banner bearer is killed and the Frateris Militia band broken, then the standard is lost.
Preacher: The Frateris Militia may include a Preacher to lead them. The Preacher may not leave the squad during the battle. He may take one choice from the Sisters of Battle Armoury.
Heavy Stubber: The heavy stubber is used almost exclusively by the Frateris Militia. It has the following profile:

2445Assault 3
Mounted: You may decide to mount you Frateris Militia on horses if you wish they follow the rules for calvary. They may be armed with lances for +2 points per model. This gives them +1 S the turn they charge. This represents the backward and feral citizens of some worlds. If horses are taken as an upgrade, then the Frateris Militia comes out of the Fast Attack allotment instead of the Troops selections. The models must be suitably converted to ride horses. I don’t have any ideas on points for this yet, so if you wouldn’t mind sending me any suggestions on the mounting the militia I’d greatly appreciate any feedback.

Modeling- He are some suggestions for converting Frateris Militia. To give them bolt pistols, just glue a bolt pistol in place of a normal pistol. You can use the militiaman with the autopistol and no knife to hold a Necromunda heavy stubber, boltgun, or shotgun. To put the militiamen on horses, then cut off the legs and glue in the Tallarn Rough Riders legs. Use the Tallarn Rough Rider horses as well. If you want to put lances on any of the models, then you could simply cut off a sword or pistol and stick in a fantasy lance. For the standard, you could use the Frateris Militia model holding his knife above his head and his pistol at his hip. Cut off his pistol, drill a hole in his hand, and stick a wire through it. The banner itself could be embelished any way you see fit. If you don't want to use GW's models, then you could use Necromunda gangers like orlocks, van saars, or cawdor(the die-hard religious type).
