NECROMUNDA SHOTGUN A shotgun is a simple low velocity weapon which any Underhive workshop can make to order. They vary in appearance, often incorporating special features or decoration to the taste of the owner or the gunsmith. Some are pump-action guns, fed from a tubular magazine slung under the barrel, others have box magazines or long ammo belts. The ammunition itself is easy to make, and many owners make their own shells. There are several recognised types, each tailored to a particular type of shot or range. The ingenuity of the Underhive gunsmiths is quite remarkable in this respect. Special Rules Knock-back. The high impact of a shotgun is quite capable of knocking a man off balance or even off his feet. To represent this a target making a roll for falling over an edge as a result of a shotgun hit counts his Initiative with a -1 penalty. For example, if his I is 3 he will fall on a score of 3-6 rather than 4-6. Ammo A variety of shell types is available and you can decide which to use before each shot. Their different effects are summarised on the profile. Each type has its advantages. Some are effective but expensive and often unreliable. If you fail an Ammo roll the weapon and all ammunition carried cannot be used for the remainder of the game. Solid Slug: This is the standard type of solid ammunition. It takes the form of a heavy shell which is fairly inaccurate but quite powerful. Range To Hit Save Ammo Short Long Short Long Str. Damage Mod. Roll 0-4 4-18 - -1 4 1 - 4+ Scatter Shot: This is a cartridge filled with lots of small pellets. Although it’s not as powerful as other types of ammunition it is very useful for blasting enemy out of cover. The hundreds of pellets ricochet around and often score hits on partially concealed targets. When firing a scatter shot, disregard any cover modifiers for hitting the target – the hundreds of pellets saturate the area with shot and can catch partially concealed targets as if they were in the open. In addition, roll a dice for any other models in base contact with the target model, or within the range at which they could normally be hit by stray shots (see the advanced rules). Any such models are hit on a 4+, in a similar way to blast weapons. Resolve hits as normal. Range To Hit Save Ammo Short Long Short Long Str. Damage Mod. Roll 0-4 4-18 +1 -1 3 1 - 4+ 40 Man Stopper: This is a particularly heavy solid cartridge with a massive propellant charge. It is more powerful than a normal solid shot and more accurate at range. However, it is more expensive than an ordinary solid shot. Range To Hit Save Ammo Short Long Short Long Str. Damage Mod. Roll 0-4 4-18 - - 4 1 -2 4+ Hot Shot: This is a hollowed out shot which contains a small charge of flamer chemical. If a target is hit and is not wounded you may re-roll to wound. You must accept the second result. Range To Hit Save Ammo Short Long Short Long Str. Damage Mod. Roll 0-4 4-18 - -1 4 1 - 6+ Bolt: This is a small self-propelled missile. In fact it is a charge adapted from a boltgun round, and has similar properties including being somewhat temperamental. The long range of the shotgun is extended to 24" when firing a bolt. Range To Hit Save Ammo Short Long Short Long Str. Damage Mod. Roll 0-4 4-24 +1 - 4 1 -1 6+
The flamer fires a burst of flaming chemical, an unstable sticky material that ignites upon contact with air. This volatile fuel is held within a pressurised container that fits underneath the weapon or is attached by a separate fuel pipe. A container contains little fuel, so flamers often run out of power after a few shots. The unstable and temperamental nature of the fuel also means that some containers prove useless whilst others explode unexpectedly as they are loaded. The flamer is a very dangerous weapon that spreads a sheet of flame over a short distance. At this range it is almost impossible to miss and several victims can be claimed with a single shot. Special Rules Ammo Test. An Ammo test is required every time the flamer is fired regardless of your to hit roll. Flamers are unreliable weapons, and can only be counted upon to fire once or twice per engagement. Template. The flamer’s shot is represented by the larger teardrop-shaped flamer template. This is used as described in the Shooting section. SPECIAL WEAPONS 41 NECROMUNDA Special weapons are similar in size and design to basic weapons and like them require both hands to fire. These are technically sophisticated weapons which require above average care and skill to use. For this reason not everyone can use such a weapon and they are mostly carried by heavies or gang leaders. FLAMER Range To Hit Save Ammo Short Long Short Long Str. Damage Mod. Roll Special Rules - - 4 1 -2 4+ GRENADE LAUNCHER A grenade launcher is a light tubular launcher capable of firing most grenade types by means of a compressed gas charge. The most common grenades are explosive Frag grenades and implosive Krak grenades which are designed for cracking open tough and well armoured targets. These grenades are often home-made affairs, simple devices manufactured in the Underhive itself. The launcher is a very robust and straightforward weapon. Its supply of compressed gas is soon expended, but recharging is a simple matter using a high pressure source to fill its internal tank. Frag and Krak grenades are described in the section on grenades. When you equip a model with Krak or Frag grenades you are assumed to be buying him a supply sufficient to last for the entire game – or until you fail an Ammo roll. Other kinds of grenade that can be used are Choke, Flash, Plasma, Scare, Smoke and Hallucinogen. Range To Hit Save Ammo Short Long Short Long Str. Damage Mod. Roll 0-20 20-60 - -1 - - - auto Special Rule Move or Fire. Because of its bulk and massive recoil, a fighter cannot shoot a grenade launcher if he moves in the same turn. He can move, or fire, but not both. MELTA-GUN The melta-gun is also known as the melter, cooker or vape gun. It works by means of sub-molecular thermal agitation, literally cooking, melting, or eventually vaporising the target. A melta-gun can melt plasteel and its effect upon living tissue is horrible indeed. The weapon makes no noise when fired. The passage of the beam heats the air to super-hot temperatures, causing a distinctive hiss which becomes a roaring blast as living flesh is hit and body moisture vaporises explosively.
