3. Rogue Archeotek

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

The hunters confront Druun in his lair!

Overview​

In this scenario, the Hunters have found the lair of Kavos Druun and must bring him to justice! Druun himself is present along with his followers and aims to see the Hunters stopped for good!

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. Both gangs use the Custom Selection (10) method to choose their crew. Note that both Kavos Druun (see below) and the free Bounty Hunter the Hunters gain for winning the previous scenario do not count towards the maximum crew size.

Deployment​

The Agents of Druun deploy first, placing Kavos Druun (see below) as close as possible to the centre of the battlefield, ideally on a piece of elevated terrain. The rest of the Agents crew then deploys within 12" of Druun. The Hunters then deploy their entire crew within 2" of any battlefield edge at least 6" from any enemy fighters.

Kavos Druun​

For this scenario, the Agents of Druun add Kavos Druun to their crew. He can be represented either by a Van Saar Leader (as detailed in Necromunda: Gangs of the Underhive) armed with a grav gun, autopistol, fighting knife and mesh armour, accompanied by three cyberachnids. Alternatively, if the players have access to House of Artifice, then Druun can be represented using the profile for a Van Saar Archeotek equipped with up to 155 credits of equipment and three cyberachnids.

Ending the Battle​

The battle ends when Druun has been taken Out of Action or only one gang has fighters remaining on the battlefield.

Outcomes​

If the Hunters take Druun Out of Action, then they are victorious and may haul the disgraced Archeotek back to House Van Saar for judgement. Otherwise, the notorious bounty hunter escapes again!
