5"	3+	3+	3	3	2	2+	3	5+	5+	6+	7+

Skills: 1 Primary skill (chosen) Special Rules: Gang Leader, Gang Hierarchy (Leader), Group Activation (2)

Special Rules

Gang Leader: A House Escher Gang must always include a single fighter with this special rule:

• A fighter with this special rule may not retire during Campaign play. For a gang leader, the only way out is death.
• Should this fighter die during the course of a campaign, or otherwise be removed from the gang (for example, if a captured Leader is Sold to the Guilders), another fighter must be promoted to replace them.

Gang Hierarchy (Leader): During a battle, once this fighter's gang has failed a Bottle test, during any End phase in which this fighter passes its Cool check and does not flee the battlefield, any friendly Escher fighters that are within 12" of this fighter will automatically pass their Cool check and will not flee the battlefield.

Additionally, during Campaign play this fighter may perform post-battle actions.

Tools of the Trade: This fighter enjoys access to a wide variety of weapons. A fighter with this special rule may take multiple equipment sets.

Group Activation (2): When a fighter with this special rule is activated, their controlling player can choose to activate a number of additional Ready friendly Escher fighters equal to the number shown in brackets that are within 3" of this fighter as part of a 'Group Activation':

• The controlling player must nominate all of the fighters who will be activated in this way before any of them is activated.
• Once all participants of the Group Activation have been nominated, the controlling player selects one and activates them as normal, fully resolving their activation before selecting and activating the next. Each fighter activates individually; groups do not activate simultaneously.

Additional fighters with this special rule activated in this way may not themselves use this special rule during this activation.

Skills: When recruited, an Escher Gang Queen may choose one skill from their Primary skill sets (as described in the Necromunda Rulebook). This skill does not cost any XP and does not increase the fighter's credits value.

6"	4+	4+	2	3	1	3+	1	9+	7+	9+	9+

Special Rules: Tools of the Trade, Gang Fighter (Prospect), Promotion (Escher Gang Matriarch), Hot-headed, Fast Learner

Special Rules

Tools of the Trade: This fighter enjoys access to a wide variety of weapons. A fighter with this special rule may take multiple equipment sets. Gang Fighter (Prospect): Fighters with this special rule form the backbone of House Escher gangs. The total number of fighters with the Gang Fighter (X) special rule in the gang must always be equal to, or higher than, the total number of fighters without the Gang Fighter (X) special rule combined, not counting Hangers-on or Hired Guns.

Gang Fighter (Prospect): Fighters with this special rule form the backbone of House Escher gangs. The total number of fighters with the Gang Fighter (X) special rule in the gang must always be equal to, or higher than, the total number of fighters without the Gang Fighter (X) special rule combined, not counting Hangers-on or Hired Guns.

Promotion (Escher Gang Matriarch): If, during the Downtime phase of a campaign, this fighter has gained five or more Advancements, this fighter may be promoted to become an Escher Gang Matriarch.

When a fighter is promoted in this way, they will from now on count as an Escher Gang Matriarch for the purposes of determining which equipment and skill sets they can access. Their existing characteristics do not change, but they will lose the Promotion (Escher Gang Matriarch), Gang Fighter (Prospect), Hot-headed and Fast Learner special rules and gain all the special rules associated with an Escher Gang Matriarch.

Note that, when a fighter is promoted in this way, an appropriate model should be used to represent their new category and type.

Hot-headed: Fighters with this special rule have much to prove and often act on impulse alone, hoping to impress their superiors. Consequently, older and wiser fighters expect them to be short-lived. Should a fighter with this special rule be Seriously Injured or be taken Out of Action, friendly fighters that are within 3" do not have to take a Nerve test, unless they also have this special rule.

Fast Learner: During campaign play, when this fighter gains a characteristic Advancement, they do not need to spend an additional 2 XP if the characteristic being improved has already been improved. In other words, this fighter may improve a characteristic any number of times (up to the maximum) for the basic XP cost shown each time.
