Even f)eelrer UndergroundThe second instalment to Gang War 3's campaign

By Tom NevytonFor thase of you ufiio were Jortunate and tnsiglttful enough to purcbase issue tbree of Gangwar trtk is a continuation of tbe Deeper (Jnderground campaign, Many oJyou may u;ell baaestarted to deoelop the campaign along your ouvn lines to suit your oum sqile of plajt, uhichis great. Sorne of you ruay baue missed. last issue's introduction and t tis ma! se/ve u;ell asa couple of stand apart scenarios. But, for tbose ofyou usbo are eager to see tbe eaents intbe Hindsk biae unfold and. wisb to tap tte rnysteries of the Keeper and tlte Brotlterhood oJOdo, look nofurtben..NEW TERRITORIESIn the nightmare hive ofHindsk, it is vital that eachGang Leader is responsible forfinding food and shelter for hisgang. I've compiled a newtable of territories along withsome old ones from theOutlanders rules. You may findthat there are territories whichhave similar names or rules toexisting ones, don't worrybecause you'll only have to usethem for this campaign.Territories are determined byfirst halving (rounding up) thenumber of fighters in yourgang. This represents howmany territories you mayoccupy at once. You mayabandon a teritory if it is notvery good (i.e. if you roll up AirDucts three times, you maywant to do this!), but you canonly abandon one territory at atime, and then if you end upwith another bad place, youmust spend at least one tufn inthat area. Otherwise, thiswould just result in peoplerolling, and re-rolling untilthey get four Spaceports, orsomething like that. Hindsk isvast, so it is possible to occupythe same territory twice. Manyof these territories (names and

rules alike) have appearedbefore in either Necromundaor Outlanders. The idea of meintroducing special new ruIesand names for territories is togive the player an idea of thederelict and alien environmentof the lost hive.

GRUB'SUPIn addition to the amount ofcredits generated from each ofthe territories, there are alsoFood Points. In the more'civilised' hives of Necromundafood may be expensive but isusually readily available.Hindsk is an old abandonedhive, the vast majority of itspopulation destroyed by acatasrophe, so all availablefood has either been scavengedby the few survivors or rottedaway. Returning to Hive Primusis out of the question as eachof the gangs taking part arewanted by a far moreintimidating force than theGuilders - the Adeptus Arbites.Each gang now has to foragefor food such as edible fungalgrowths and feral animals.After each battle roll 1D6 foreach model in your gang. Thisis similar to foraging, exceptthat every gang member has to

do this if they want to survive.You must roll equal to or lowerthan the ganger 's lni t iat ive.This represents each modelfinding enough food tonourish themselves fo r oneday. If this is failed then theganger has failed to findsufficient food to sustainhimself. This is where the FoodPoints come into play Add upall of the Food Points of all ofyour territories and rhis givesyou the sum ofsubsistence thatyou may spend on your gang.Determine how much a ganger

I have arranged this part of thecampaign in such a way, thatnewer players will probablyeither be working for theInquisition, or the Keeper,both of which will provideessential items and skills,which you will need to finishoff this campaign. Moreexperienced players will be

rewarded with being able toally with Krutfoot and theBrotherhood of Odo andperhaps glean some of theSquat's technology secrets. Thebattles that will follow whenyou are allied to the Squats willalso be substantially harder.After each battle you may sendyour gangers to the outlawTrading Post and may trade forcommon items as normalexcept that following afe neveravailable: Meltagun, Plasmaweapons, any Grenades or

Grenade launchers, Missilelaunchers, Ratskin Maps andanlthing else the arbitratorconsiders would no t beavailable in Hindsk Hive.Ammo clips, Shotgun Shells,and Laser cells will enable anymodel using weapons which fitthese items to add +2 to theirammo rolls for one battle onlvARCANE WEAPONSThe Hindsk Hive is very oldand has been left in a state ofnear abandonment anddisrepair for centuries (andyou lhought the Underhivewas bad!).

launched from a BolasLauncher, will wrap itselfaround th e limbs of anopponent, rendering him outof action for a turn. These wereused by the PD.F. for crowdcontrol, rather like a veryprimitive version of a glue gun.The PD.F. versions used fourcornerweights, linked to a netto trap as many people aspossible. Bolas shot from alauncher use these kind ofnets, and have r 2" template.When hit by a Bolas Template,the enemy model(s) will beensnared on a 4*, and willhave to spend an entire turnuntangling themselves. Theymay do nothing else duringthat time. Hand'thrown Bolascan only target single models.When throwing, the throwersuffers a -1 penalty to hit,because of the inaccuracy ofthrowing such a weighty andcumbersome obiect. Likegrenades, the range dependsupon the usef's strength.Dartgun: This is an extremelyold weapon, once used byGuild assassins for silent kills.It is, however, remarkablYaccurate, and there is no needto fit a silencer to one of theseweapons. Darts have littleaffect on personal armourthough, and in that respect arenot suited to gang warfare atclose ranges. Dart rounds, likeAmmo clips give the user thesame bonus when takingammo tests.

Darts are near useless againstarmour and so all modelswearing any form of armourreceive an additional .{-l totheir saving throw.Ciwy Bomb: This is a crudeversion of the incendiaryfragmentation grenade, knownas a Frag. It is little more than abottle filled with petroleum orany other flammable spirit litby a rag fuse. The bomb canstill cause havoc amongstlightly armoured individuals,as the flying shards of glass arevery similar to the shrapnelproduced by Frags.Mark 1 Plasma Gun: This isa very old and unpredictableversion of the more modernweapon. The rules for thisweapon have been detailed inprevious 40K publications,such as Codex Chaos, and theLegion of the Damned. But forthose of you who don't knowthe rules they behave much inthe same way as a normalPlasma Gun, but the weapon'scells are far more erratic, andmay cause the gun tomalfunction. whenyou roll theSustained Fire dice consult thetable below.On a roll of aJam or a 3 on theSustained Fire dice, theweapon is destroyed and canalso no longer be used.Like Ammo Clips, PlasmaBatteries are essential forpowering Mk1 Plasmaweapons. Unlike Ammo CIiPs

however, they do not give thesame bonuses on ammo rolls,you simply cannot fire a Plasmaweapon without a Batteryfitted.Gafrot Wire: This is a verycheap and simple weapon. It issharp and flexible, used bySpider Hunters for snares andtraps.
