109. Tech Raid

“We’re near the ancestral shard lads, I can feel it in my bones!”
- Dalin Larsekson, The Mad Mechanic of Red Ruin, Charter Master and master engineer

In this scenario, a gang breaks into the heart of a dome in order to loot as much archeotech as they can.

Attacker & Defender​

The gang who chose this scenario is the attacker, the other is the defender. Otherwise, randomize one gang to choose who to be attacker and defender.

Battlefield​

Standard. No normal Loot caskets are placed.

Crews​

  • Attacker: Custom (7).
  • Defender: Random (D3+2) + Reinforcements.

No vehicles or mounts.

Tactics Cards​

  • Custom (2).
  • Underdog (Gang Rating): +1 random per 100 credits.

Deployment​

  1. Defender:
    1. 6 Loot (anywhere outside 6" of any edge and other Loot).
    2. Entire starting crew (within 3" of a Loot).
  2. Attacker: Within 6" of a single battlefield edge.

Reinforcements​

  • Defender: D3.
  • Start of each End phase (starting on the 2nd round).

Home Turf Advantage​

  • Defender:
    • Bottle tests: Roll 2D6 and discard the highest.
    • Rally tests: +1.
    • Hangers-on: Included in the crew on a 4+ (roll individually).

Hunt For Archeotech​

The attacker is trying to recover lost pieces of archeotech that are rumoured to be held by the defender.

Only attackers can open Loot:

  • Opened as a normal Loot casket.
  • Do not roll the normal content roll.
  • Roll a 3+ to gain 1 point (find a piece of archeotech).
  • Apply a -1 modifier if it was opened with the Smash Open (Basic) action.

Fleeing The Battlefield​

If one gang voluntarily bottles out and flees the battlefield, the opponent automatically wins the scenario. If the attacker wins in this way, all remaining Loot are considered opened:

  • No XP is awarded
  • Roll for each to determine if they contain the archeotech (as normal).
House Rule (Necrodamus)

This scenario is potentially broken! Apply this fix:

If a gang voluntarily bottles out OR voluntarily flees, the other gang should automatically win.

Ending the Battle​

The battle ends if only 1 gang remains (end of a round).

Victory​

The attacker wins if gaining 3 points. Otherwise the defender wins.

Narrative Variant

The Lost Charter​

If players wish, they may use this scenario to represent Dalin Larsekson wresting the ancestral shard from Heretics Hole.

In order to do this, make the following changes:

  • The defender’s gang should be an Outcast gang led by an Outcast Leader with the Wyrd archetype to represent Ursan Graves and including an Awakened Ogryn to represent the Thinker.
  • The attacker’s gang should be an Ironhead Squat Prospectors gang and include an Exo-Driller.
  • The Resistant to the Wyrd special rule is in effect.

Resistant To The Wyrd​

If one or more Ironhead Squat Prospectors are targeted by a Wyrd Power then one of them may attempt to Disrupt the power as if they were a psyker.
