Lair of the Archeotek

RAW ✔️ Source: White Dwarf 467, Lair of the Archeotek (08/2021)

The mechanical eye of the House of Artifice has fallen upon one of its lost sons – the mad Archeotek Kavos Druun – and the Van Saar mean to bring him to justice! Here we present three linked scenarios for you to play through with your Necromunda gangs.

Years ago, the Archeotek Kavos Druun fled House Van Saar with many of the clan's secrets in his possession. Even by the questionable standards of the Van Saar, he was considered a tech traitor to their kind, augmenting his body with bionics until little of his humanity remained. For many cycles, the agents of the House searched for Druun in the underhive, where it was reported he had taken up as a bounty hunter roaming the Badzones. Though none have so far been successful, a hefty price remains on Druun's head, and many a Van Saar gang has descended into the depths of Hive Primus hoping to be the one to claim the reward and earn the favour of their clan.

Lair of the Archeotek is a Necromunda minicampaign played out over three linked scenarios. It is built around the narrative of a Van Saar gang seeking the outcast Archeotek Kavos Druun, but it can be adapted to work with any underhive gang. In this campaign, one player takes on the role of the Hunters – ideally fielding a Van Saar gang – and the other the Agents of Druun, which can be represented by any gang. Gangs should be built using the guidelines for gang creation found in Necromunda: Gangs of the Underhive or the relevant House books, such as House of Artifice. The scenarios should then be played in the order of Power Lines, Field Test and finally Rogue Archeotek, with each scenario offering additional guidelines for how to modify them based on the outcome of the previous scenario.
