2. Field Test

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

Druun dispatches one of his hirelings to test a new weapon on the hunters.

Overview​

In this scenario, Kavos Druun has given his followers an experimental weapon to help them stop the Hunters. The Agents must use the weapon to put down fighters from the enemy gang, while the hunters must attempt to take out the agent with the weapon.

Battlefield​

This scenario uses the Battlefield Set-up guidelines, as described on page 117 of the Necromunda Rulebook.

Attacker and Defender​

In this scenario, one gang is the Hunters and the other is Agents of Druun as determined in the previous scenario.

Crews​

This scenario uses the standard rules for choosing a crew, as described on page 118 of the Necromunda Rulebook. The Hunters uses the Custom Selection (10) method to choose their crew. Note that if the Hunters tapped all the power relays in the previous scenario, the bonus Hive Scum do not count towards the maximum crew size. The Agents of Druun uses the Random Selection (10) method to determine their crew.

Deployment​

This scenario uses the standard rules for deployment from page 119 of the Necromunda Rulebook.

The Experimental Weapon​

After both crews have been deployed, the Agents of Druun player chooses one (or two if the Agents won the previous scenario) of their fighters to be armed with an Experimental Weapon crafted by Druun himself. Choose one of the ranged weapons carried by the fighter and add any two of the following Weapon Traits: Blast, Blaze, Concussion, Knockback, Melta, Rad-phage, Rapid Fire (2), or Shock. The weapon gains these traits for the duration of the battle.

Ending the Battle​

The battle ends when the fighter(s) with the Experimental Weapon are taken Out of Action, or only one gang has fighters remaining on the battlefield.

Outcomes​

If any fighter with an Experimental Weapon is still on the battlefield at the end of the game, they may retain their Experimental Weapon for the final scenario (Rogue Archeotek). If all fighters with Experimental Weapons were taken Out of Action, the Hunters may add a Bounty Hunter to their crew for free for the final scenario.
