Skills: 1 Primary skill (chosen) Wargear: Armoured bodyglove Special Rules: Gang Leader, Gang Hierarchy (Leader), Tools of the Trade, Group Activation (2)

Special Rules

Gang Leader: A House Van Saar 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 (see Death of a Leader).

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 Van Saar 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 Van Saar 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, a Van Saar Prime 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.

Wargear: Armoured bodyglove and a grav-cutter Special Rules: Gang Fighter (Prospect), Tools of the Trade, Promotion (Van Saar Augmek or Van Saar Archeotek), 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 Van Saar 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 (Van Saar Augmek or Van Saar Archeotek): If, during the Downtime phase of a campaign, this fighter has gained five or more Advancements, this fighter may be promoted to become either a Van Saar Augmek or a Van Saar Archeotek as the controlling player wishes.

When a fighter is promoted in this way, they will from now on count as a Van Saar Augmek or a Van Saar Archeotek 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 (Van Saar Augmek or a Van Saar Archeotek), Hot-headed and Fast Learner special rules and gain all the special rules associated with a Van Saar Augmek or a Van Saar Archeotek, as appropriate.

Note that when a fighter is promoted in this way (especially when promoted to become an Archeotek), 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.

Special Rules: Clamber, Fear Inducing, Fearsome (Ferocity), Horrific

Special Rules

Clamber: When this fighter climbs, the vertical distance they move is not halved. In other words, they always count as climbing up or down a ladder.

Fear Inducing: Cyberachnids have the Fearsome (Ferocity) skill and may confer this onto their owner. The owner only gains this skill provided they have an Active Cyberachnid within 3", otherwise the skill is lost.

Fearsome (Ferocity): If an enemy makes a Charge action that targets this fighter, they must make a Willpower check before moving. If the check is failed, they cannot move and their activation ends immediately.

Horrific: A Cyberachnid is a horrifying meld of machine and spider that gangers of other Houses would just as soon not have in their hide-out. A Cyberachnid can never be Captured.

Skill Access

Should a Cyberachnid become a Specialist, it has access to the following skill sets:

Agility	Brawn	Combat	Cunning	Ferocity	Leadership	Savant	Shooting	Tech
Secondary	-	-	Primary	-	-	-	-	-

Equipment

A Cyberachnid may not purchase weapons or Wargear. A Cyberachnid is armed with a Venomous Bite and a Web Projector.

A Van Saar Arachni-rig Servo-suit may upgrade its light carapace armour to heavy carapace armour	+20

Special Rules

Twin-linked: When a fighter makes a ranged attack with this weapon, they may re-roll any number of the Ammo dice rolled. However, they must accept the result of the re-roll, even if it is worse.

Van Saar Protective Gear: Van Saar fighters are somewhat protected from the effects of their own rad weapons by their armour and are therefore immune to the effects of the Rad-phage Weapon Trait (i.e., they will not suffer the additional Flesh Wound).

Superior Weapons Array: Rather than making a single Shoot (Basic) action each turn, this fighter may make two Shoot (Simple) actions per turn. Each action may be made with a different weapon, and each action may target a different enemy fighter, provided that all of the normal rules for Target Priority are followed.
