NECROMUNDA PINNED As soon as a fighter is hit the model is knocked over and placed face up. We say the model has been pinned by enemy fire. The force of the shot has knocked the fighter off his feet. The shot may have hurt or even killed him, or he may be lucky and escape without significant harm. Even if he survives he is momentarily confused, or, at best, his instincts force him to hit the dirt and keep his head down. Later we’ll deal with what happens to the pinned fighter if he survives unharmed. First, we’ll find out whether the shot has wounded him. S T R E N G T H TARGET’S TOUGHNESS 16 WOUND Once you have hit a target you must test to see whether a wound is inflicted. A shot may fail to cause a wound because it hits part of the target’s equipment or weaponry, or perhaps it just scratches the skin or causes some very minor injury which the fighter bravely ignores. If you fail to cause a wound then the target is unharmed but is still pinned by enemy fire as described later. To determine whether your shot has caused a wound you must compare the Strength value of the weapon with the Toughness (T) characteristic of the target. You will find a complete description of the various weapons together with their Strength values and special rules in the Armoury section, but a few examples are given here. WEAPON STRENGTH Laspistol 3 Bolt Pistol 4 Stub Gun 3 Autogun 3 Lasgun 3 Boltgun 4 Melta Gun 8 Lascannon 9 Auto-cannon 8 Heavy Stub Gun 4 The chart below shows the D6 score required to turn a hit into a wound. Remember, an average Toughness characteristic value is 3 for gangers and other humans. However, the Underhive contains many foul other denizens whose toughness can range from average to unbelievable high proportions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 4 5 6 6 N 2 3 4 5 6 6 N 3 2 3 4 5 6 6 N 4 2 2 3 4 5 6 6 N 5 2 2 2 3 4 5 6 6 N 6 2 2 2 2 3 4 5 6 6 N 7 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 5 6 6 8 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 5 6 9 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 5 10 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
INJURIES Most fighters have a Wound characteristic of 1 but some have a value of 2 or more. If the target has more than 1 wound then deduct 1 wound from his total for each wound he suffers. Make a note on the roster sheet. So long as the model has a least 1 wound left he can continue to fight. As soon as a fighter suffers his last remaining wound roll to determine the extent of his injuries. The player who inflicted the wound rolls a D6. 1 – FLESH WOUND The target has sustained a minor wound. Deduct -1 from both his Weapon Skill and Ballistic Skill for the rest of the game. 2-5 – DOWN The target falls down to the ground where he lies wounded and barely conscious. Turn the model over or face down, to show that the fighter has gone ‘down’. 6 – OUT OF ACTION The target has been badly wounded and falls to the ground unconscious. He takes no further part in the game and the model is immediately removed from play. HIGH IMPACT Some weapons inflict hits with such devastating force that if hit, a fighter is likely to be severely injured. Weapons with a strength of 7 or more are known as high impact weapons, and when a fighter is hit by a high impact weapon they will go out of action on a roll of a 5 or 6 on the injury chart (above) rather than the normal 6. Other effects of injury from high impact weapons are the same as those described above. Flesh Wound A model with a flesh wound can continue to fight even though it has ‘zero’ wounds left. If the model takes further wounds then roll for injury once more, just as if it had lost its final wound. A fighter can sustain several flesh wounds and still continue to fight, albeit at reduced effectiveness. Make a note on your roster sheet and apply the penalties indicated for the rest of the game. Leave the model lying face uppermost to show it is still pinned (see later). Each time a model suffers a flesh wound, it loses a further 1 point of BS and WS, so a model with several flesh wounds may have a WS or BS of 0. If his WS and BS both reach 0 the fighter automatically drifts into unconsciousness due to servere loss of blood and is taken out of action for the rest of the game. 17 NECROMUNDA Down When a fighter goes down he is either badly injured or temporarily knocked senseless: he might recover or he might lapse into unconsciousness and even die. Turn the model face down to show the fighter has gone ‘down’. A model which goes down may do nothing except crawl as noted below. A player must roll to see what happens to any of his fighters who are down at the end of his recovery phase. Fighters may recover, stay down, or go out of action. Roll a D6 and consult the Injury chart again (1 = flesh wound, 2-5 = down and 6 = out of action). Models which recover to flesh wounded may continue to fight but suffer the -1 WS/BS penalty, and are ‘pinned’ for one turn (see Pinned). Turn the model face up to show this. Models which stay down remain face down and unchanged. Models which go out of action are removed. During his movement phase a man who is down can crawl or stagger 2" as if he had a M characteristic of 2. He may do nothing else and he may not run or charge. This enables a badly wounded character to get behind cover or escape from his enemies (if he’s lucky!). Out of Action ‘Out of action’ indicates a man is out of combat and also out of the game. Remove the model from the tabletop. It is impossible to tell whether the fighter is alive or dead, but for game purposes it makes no difference at this stage. After the fight is over you can test to see whether he survives and if he sustains any serious lasting injuries as a result of his wounds (see the later Campaign sections for details). MULTIPLE WOUNDS Some weapons inflict more than 1 wound when they hit. A model cannot be reduced to fewer than ‘zero’ wounds, but each extra wound inflicted means you roll another Injury dice. So, if a fighter has 1 wound remaining and suffers 4 wounds he rolls four Injury dice. Multiple ‘down’ results are ignored but a fighter can suffer multiple flesh wounds. A fighter who suffers flesh wounds and goes down at the same time is treated as going down but suffers the penalties indicated for his flesh wounds as well. Remember, any fighter reduced to 0 WS and BS by flesh wounds automatically goes out of action.
