Magic Items: Sheikh Shufti is armed with the Scimitar of Dakisir. Ibn carries the Black banner of the Muktarhin.

Scimitar of Dakisir ...................... 25 points
This scimitar is an heirloom of the tribal Sheikhs of the Desert Dogs. It was forged centuries ago in the Kasbah of Dakisir, long ago saxked and ruined by the Undead. The balde is decorated with magical texts inlaid in gold. Thanks to his impressive weapon Sheikh Ahmed Shufti adds +1 Strength to blows he strikes and +2 Strength against blows struck in the turn in which he charges.

Black Banner of the Muktarhin ........... 25 points
The Black Banner is carried aloft by blind Ibn the begger boy, who cannot see the peril he is in and so is always at the forefront of battle. When calculating which side wins the combat, all wounds scored by Al Muktar in person count double - so if Al Muktar inflicted 2 wounds and the remaing desert dogs inflict 3 wounds their combat score would be 7 before adding bouses for standard and ranks.

Special Rules:

Sheikh Shufti: The Desert Dogs' original leader was Sheikh Shufti. This means that the unit has two charecters that can lead the unit.
