Sump Sea Vehicles

RAW ✔️ Apocrypha Necromunda: Spiders of the Sump, p5

Designer's Commentary: Battles On The Sump Seas

Presented below are the rules for Sludge Barges, Scrap Skiffs [...], allowing you to recreate the events described in Apocrypha Necromunda: Spiders of the Sump. If the Arbitrator wishes, these new rules may be included in their campaign.

Sump Sea Vehicles

There are almost as many vehicles that ply the sump seas and run-off rivers of Necromunda as there are on its dusty plains and wind-blasted ridgeways. The following vehicle construction rules can be used alongside the Wasteland Workshop rules found in Necromunda: Book of the Outlands allowing players to create vehicles capable of traversing the black seas of Necromunda.

Note: Some of the upgrades available to vehicles presented in the Wasteland Workshop might not be appropriate for Sludge Barges and Scrap Skiffs (such as wheel scythes or tyre claws, for instance), though as always the Arbitrator can decide which ones they wish to include in their campaign.

Locomotion Special Rules

Waterborne: Waterborne vehicles can only be used in Sump Sea environments (see below). These vehicles also build up momentum as they move, and can be difficult to turn or slow down quickly. When a Waterborne vehicle is activated, but before it takes any actions, it must roll for its Drift Movement. Scrap Skiffs Drift D3" directly forward, in the direction they are facing, while Sludge Barges Drift D6" directly forward, in the direction they are facing. Drift Movement does not use any of the vehicle's actions, though it may still cause collisions, etc.
