Spyre Hunting Party List

Why Play A Spyre Hunting Party Gang?

Spyrers are hunters without peer, merciless killers who stalk their prey before bringing them down. They are noble scions of House Helmawr, sent out into the depths of Hive Secundus in order to prove themselves worthy of taking up positions of authority in the Imperial House's domain, and as such they are very different to the normal gangs you will come up against.

When it comes to playing a Spyre Hunting Party gang in campaigns, every Spyre Hunter is a skilled individual equipped with an advanced hunting rig that has the potential to outshine anything used by the other denizens of the underhive. However, despite this potential they start out as a group of three or four fighters who will be constantly outnumbered and vulnerable to being overwhelmed. Caring little for the wealth sought by most gangs, Spyrers only care about increasing their kill count and so each battle the Spyrer player needs to focus on isolating enemy fighters and taking them down. Spyre Hunters excel in one-on-one encounters and hit and run tactics, but they can be taken down by a combined assault or careless positioning.

So if you enjoy stalking your prey and playing for different priorities than your opponents, all the while running a small elite gang which must rely upon cunning tactics to triumph then give the Spyre Hunting Party a try!

Gang Composition

A Spyre Hunting Party is created using the standard rules for gang creation (see the Necromunda Core Rulebook) with the following exceptions:

A Spyre Hunting Party gang ignores the usual restriction on at least half of the models needing to have the Gang Fighter (X) special rule.
After founding the gang any unspent credits are discarded, they do not go into the gang's Stash.

Alliances

A Spyre Hunting Party gang can never form an alliance.

Hired Guns

Hired Guns will not sign on to work with Spyre Hunting Party gangs unless their rules explicitly state they will.

Hangers On

Hangers-on will not sign on to work with Spyre Hunting Party gangs unless their rules explicitly state they will.

Special Rules: Spyrer Companion, Charmed Companion, Precognition, Flight

Special Rules

Spyrer Companion: This fighter is subject to the Reflex Enhancers special rule (see page 28).

Charmed Companion: A Caryatid Prime is able to help their chosen companion avoid damage. Whilst the Caryatid Prime is within 3" of its companion, that fighter may re-roll one failed armour save and one failed Ammo test per round.

Precognition: The gift of foresight possessed by the Caryatid Prime enables it to dodge and evade all but the most unexpected of attacks. This tremendous precognition grants the Caryatid Prime a 3+ save roll, which cannot be modified by Armour Piercing.

Additionally, a Caryatid Prime may avoid being caught by a Blast marker or Flame template. If a Caryatid Prime is caught under a Blast marker or Flame template, the attacker should roll a D6. On a 4-6, the Caryatid Prime is hit by the attack. On a 1-3, the Caryatid Prime is able to fly clear of the area of the attack. Leave the model where it is and assume that it has fluttered around to avoid the attack and returned to where it was.

Flight: A Caryatid Prime ignores all terrain, may move freely between levels without restriction, and can never fall. It may not, however, ignore impassable terrain and may not end its movement with its base overlapping an obstacle or another fighter's base.

Skill Access

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

Agility	Brawn	Combat	Cunning	Ferocity
Primary	-	-	Secondary	-

Equipment

A Caryatid Prime may not purchase weapons or Wargear. A Caryatid Prime carries no weapons and will always make unarmed attacks.
