Horrors of the Underhive

Experimental rules to spice up scenarios. Caution: These can be quite complicated, so best used with simple scenarios. Before the battle, agree if and which one should be used. The Horror is equipped to represent its inhuman resilience to harm, preternatural ability to see in low light and imbued resistance to hostile environments.

• 1-3: Possessed Hiver
• 4+: Xenos Abomination

Deployment rules:

• Deployed by the player with Priority.
• Not within 6” of any fighter.

• 4: In the deployment zone of the gang with Priority.
• 5: Within 6” of the centre.
• 6: Anywhere.

Terrifying

Pass a Willpower test to target this fighter with a Fight (Basic) or Shoot (Basic) action, or the action ends immediately (wasted). However, the action does not count as being performed, so the same action can be attempted again, if the fighter has more available actions in the activation.

House Rule

• Apply the Willpower test to any attack (ranged or melee) regardless of Basic or Double.
• Psychic attacks that are not made as a Fight/Shoot action ignores this Willpower test.
