Agents

0-1 House Agents​

A gang can recruit no more than one House Agent at a time. To represent the variety of renowned champions within each House, the recruiting player chooses one of the following profiles to use:

MWSBSSTWIALdClWilInt
5"4+3+3324+14+6+5+6+
5"3+5+3323+25+6+4+7+
4"3+4+3414+27+6+7+8+

Special Rules: *Petition, Gang Hierarchy (Champion), Group Activation (1), “You Get What You Pay For”.

Special Rules

*Petition: A gang does not simply hire a House Agent. Instead, a House Agent may be dispatched to aid a gang when a petition is made by a gang leader. If a gang wishes to hire a House Agent, the controlling player must roll on the following table during the appropriate step of the pre-battle sequence:

D6+RepResult
1-5The House heeds the gang’s plea for aid and a House Agent is dispatched. The gang may hire a House Agent for this battle for 40 credits.
6-10The House reluctantly agrees to send aid to the gang, but it will cost them. The gang may hire a House Agent for this battle for 80 credits.
11-15The House feels the gang is capable of fighting its own battles. The gang may not hire a House Agent for this battle.
16+The House is angered that such a capable and notorious gang would petition for further aid. The gang may not hire a House Agent for this battle and must pay a fine of 2D6x10 credits to the House as punishment for making foolish petitions.

Note that a gang may make a petition to hire a House Agent or it may roll on the House Favours table. It may not do both.

Gang Hierarchy (Champion): During a battle, should this fighter pass a Bottle test, friendly Van Saar fighters without this special rule that have not already taken a Bottle test this round and that are within 6" of this fighter will automatically pass their Bottle test for that round.

Group Activation (1): 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 are 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.

“You Get What You Pay For”: Unlike other fighters, House Agents are not counted during the Choose Crew step of the pre-battle sequence. Instead, at the end of this step, any House Agents available to the gang may be added to the crew, regardless of the Crew Selection method in use. This may take the number of fighters in a starting crew above the number specified by the scenario.

Skills

A House Agent may take either three skills determined at random, or one skill determined at random and one skill chosen by the recruiting player. Each skill is chosen from the following skill sets: Brawn, Combat, Ferocity, Leadership, Tech or Shooting (as described in the Necromunda Rulebook). To determine a random skill, the player declares which skill set they are generating the skill from and rolls a D6, re-rolling if the House Agent already has that skill. Choosing a skill is a simple matter of picking the desired skill from the sets available.

Equipment

A House Agent may be equipped with up to 150 credits worth of weapons and Wargear chosen for free from your house equipment list. They may be armed with up to three weapons, only one of which may have the Unwieldy trait, and this counts as two weapon choices. Note that the value of these weapons and Wargear should be included when determining Gang Rating.

Lore

The Clan Houses of Necromunda are at once dependent upon one another for their mutual prosperity and deadly rivals that seek to damage or destroy one another. Each controls its own share of the industry and resource that makes Necromunda so vital to the Imperium, jealously guarding its rights and power against rivals and enemies.

Often in the long history of Necromunda such rivalries have exploded into harmful civil wars, wars that damage industry and commerce. In the millennia since the ascendancy of House Helmawr such wars have been… discouraged, and Houses that would take up arms and threaten the status quo dealt with harshly. Yet war and conflict are only natural. The Clan Houses fulfil their need to draw one another’s blood through the eternal struggle of the gangs, proxy warfare in the cramped habs and manufactoria replacing open battle and keeping the wide avenues and clan residences of the upper hive safe.

Many loyal scions of the Clan Houses have risen to positions of power and influence as gang fighters of great renown. Such famed warriors are often deployed as agents by the lords they serve, sent to aid gangs beset by enemies. These agents can be considered as both weapons of their masters’ will and demonstrations of their power. Their arrival in the midst of a raging gang war sows fear in both allies and enemies alike, for their presence represents not just the interests of their masters, but highlights the failings of the local gangs to protect those interests…

Special Rules

*Petition: A Van Saar gang does not simply hire the Arachnotek Golem. Instead, it may agree to aid a gang when a petition is made by a gang leader. If a gang wishes to hire the Arachnotek Golem, the controlling player must roll on the following table during the appropriate step of the prebattle sequence:

Combined Consciousness: The Arachnotek Golem does not have a consciousness of its own, as others might understand such things, and relies instead upon the thoughts and memories of others to give it a semblance of self-awareness.

Therefore, when it joins a gang, the controlling player must choose a fighter to loan their consciousness to it. This can even be a fighter that is currently In Recovery. This donor fighter is effectively removed from the gang for the duration of the battle and replaced by the Arachnotek Golem.

For the duration of the battle, all characteristics on the Arachnotek Golem’s profile which are presented as a question mark (?) are replaced by the characteristics of the donor fighter. For the duration of the battle, the Arachnotek Golem gains the skills of the donor fighter.

Abominable Intelligence: Should the gang the Arachnotek Golem has joined win the battle, the donor fighter is returned with their faculties intact. However, should the gang lose the battle, the Arachnotek Golem deems them worthless and leaves immediately, taking its new-found memories with it. The donor fighter is left a drooling imbecile – their Leadership, Cool, Willpower and Intelligence characteristics are all reduced to 12+.

Seemingly Invulnerable: The Arachnotek Golem itself feels no pain. The Arachnotek Golem may make a 5+ save roll against any attack made against it. This save cannot be modified by a weapon’s Armour Piercing value.

“You Get What You Pay For”​

Unlike other fighters, Axon Hammer is not counted during the Choose Crew step of the pre-battle sequence. Instead, at the end of this step, he may be added to the crew, regardless of the Crew Selection method in use.

note

Restless Faith is completely useless on an Agent.

Skills: Evade, Lie Low. Weapons: None. Wargear: Light carapace armour (4+).

  • Generates no Faith dice.
  • Cannot perform any Articles of Faith.

The Prophet​

MWSBSSTWIALdClWilInt

Skills: Iron Will, Overseer, Unstoppable.
Weapons: None. Wargear: Servo harness (benefitws already included in fighter profile).
Special Rules: Petition, Blessed by the Lost Saint, Beacon of Redemption, Articles of Faith, Outlaw.

*Petition​

A House Cawdor, Crusading gang or gang allied to Lady Credo’s Rebellion does not simply hire the Prophet. Instead, he may come to the aid of a gang when a petition is made by a gang’s Leader. If a gang wishes to hire the Prophet, the controlling player must roll on the following table during the appropriate step of the pre-battle sequence:

D6+RepResult
1-8The Prophet heeds the gang’s plea for aid. The gang may hire him for this battle for 80 credits.
9-15The Prophet reluctantly agrees to aid the gang, but it will cost them. The gang may hire him for this battle for 160 credits.
16+The Prophet feels the gang is capable of fighting its own battles. The gang may not hire him for this battle.

Note that a gang may make a petition to hire the Prophet, or it may roll on their House Favours table. They may not do both. Only House Cawdor gangs, Crusading gangs or gangs allied to Lady Credo’s Rebellion may petition the Prophet.

Blessed by the Lost Saint​

The Prophet seems to lead a blessed life; none can act against him, either looking upon him with awe or finding they purposefully miss. If an enemy model wishes to make a Fight (Basic) or Shoot (Basic) action that targets the Prophet, they must make a Willpower check. If the check is failed, they cannot perform the action and their action ends immediately.

In addition, the Prophet has a 3+ save that cannot be modified or ignored by any rule.

Beacon of Redemption​

Any friendly fighter that can draw a line of sight to the Prophet may apply a +2 modifier to Cool and Willpower checks.

Articles of Faith​

If hired by a House Cawdor gang, the Prophet generates Faith dice as a normal House Cawdor fighter. However, his faith is such that in each End phase, his controlling player rolls four D6 for him, rather than the usual one. He follows the Path of the Fanatic.

Outlaw​

The Prophet is an Outlaw Hired Gun.
