Necromunda Gangs: Cawdor

Once per battle, a friendly CAWDOR SCAV BRETHREN or REDEMPTIONIST BRETHREN operative can perform the following action:

MAKESHIFT LADDER (1 AP): You can set-up a Ladder within the control range of a friendly CAWDOR SCAV BRETHREN or REDEMPTIONIST BRETHREN operative as follows:

• Upright against terrain that is at least 2 inches tall.

• More than 2 inches from other equipment terrain features.

• More than 1 inch from doors and access points.

It acts as a Ladder (i.e from the UNIVERSAL EQUIPMENT). After an operative uses that Ladder during a climb, roll a 1D3. On 1, remove that Ladder from the killzone. Treat this action as a Mission action.

Once per turning point, a friendly CAWDOR BONEPICKER or ZEALOT operative can perform the following action:

BOMB DELIVERY RAT (1 AP): Select an enemy operative within 6 inches of a friendly CAWDOR BONEPICKER or ZEALOT operative. Roll 2D6, on 2 to 6, inflict 1D3+3 damage on each operative within 1 inch of that friendly operative. Otherwise, Inflict 1D3+1 damage on each operative within 1 inch of that enemy operative. Treat this action as a Shoot action.

Friendly CAWDOR operatives can perform a Molotov Cocktail action up to 2 times per battle.

MOLOTOV COCKTAIL (1 AP): Place your Molotov Cocktail Marker within 6 inches of a friendly CAWDOR operative (or 3 inches if it is a CHERUB-SERVITOR) and visible to it or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature visible to that operative. Roll 1D6, remove that marker after a number of activations equal to the result. Whenever a Molotov Cocktail Marker is within 2 inches of an operative, inflict 1D3 damage on that operative. That friendly operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it. Treat this action as a Shoot action.

Blunderbusses and Shotguns have the Blaze* weapon rule for the battle.

*Blaze: If you inflict damage with any critical success, the operative this weapon is being used against gains one of your Blaze Tokens (if it doesn’t already have one). Whenever an operative that has one of your Blaze Tokens is activated, inflict 1D3 damage on it. Then that operative’s controlling player selects one of the following:

• Roll a 1D6: on 3+, remove that token.

• Subtract 1 from the operative’s APL stat until the end of that activation to remove that token.

Use this firefight ploy during a friendly CAWDOR operative’s activation. It can perform Molotov Cocktail action (i.e. faction equipment). Performing this action using this ploy does not count towards their action limits (i.e. if you select Molotov Cocktail from faction equipment).

Use this firefight ploy when an enemy operative is shooting a friendly CAWDOR operative. In the Roll defense Dice step, subtract 1 from this operative’s APL and improve its Save stat by 1.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CAWDOR operative that has 1 or more Faith Tokens performs a Shoot or Fight action against an enemy operative. If that operative isn’t incapacitated, repeat the action again for 1 AP and worsen the Hit stat of the weapon used for that action by 1.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly CAWDOR operative that has 1 or more Faith Tokens is activated. You can ignore any changes to its stats from the Stun and Shock weapon rules until the end of the turning point.

During a friendly CAWDOR operative’s activation that has one or more of your Faith Tokens and with an Engage order, select 1 Act of Faith rule (or 2 if it is a LEADER) for that friendly operative to use until the end of the turning point:

• It can do a Charge action (up to 3 inches) even if it performed a Reposition or a Dash action (this takes precedence over action restrictions).

• It gains a 1D3+1 lost wounds.

• When an enemy operative is performing a Shoot action against that operative, you can re-roll any or all of your defense dice results of one result (e.g. results of 2).

The first time each friendly CAWDOR operative (excluding HIRED ARM) is to be incapacitated, discard any remaining Atk dice and it has 1 wound left, immediately do a free Charge action (if possible)(up to 2 inches only) and a free Fight action. For that Fight action, roll 1 Atk die for it. After that action has ended, remove it from the killzone if it was incapacitated or In the Ready step of the next strategy phase (whichever comes first).

Friendly CAWDOR operatives’ melee weapons have the Blaze weapon rule until the end of the turning point.

Whenever a friendly CAWDOR SCAV BRETHREN or REDEMPTIONIST BRETHREN is incapacitated, each other friendly operative within 3 inches of that operative and within control range of an enemy operative can immediately perform a Fight action but can only use 1 normal success (if any) for it and the enemy operative must not retaliate for it. You must use the MASS HYSTERIA faction rule afterwards (if able).
