MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT
AUTO-REPAIRER BIO-SCANNER
An auto-repairer is a large device kept back in the
gang’s hideout or in one of its workshops. The
machine is used by a gang’s heavies to check and
repair equipment, scan for hidden structural
weaknesses and test batteries, power packs and
internal generators.
Special Rules
If a gang has an auto-repairer it can be used in
between fights to check out the gang’s weapons. The
gang must include a heavy to do this and you must
assign a fit ganger to help him. The ganger cannot
collect income from territories or search for rare
trade goods if he is helping the heavy.
In the next game, any weapon that fails its Ammo roll
may roll again, and automatically passes its check on
a D6 roll of 4, 5 or 6 regardless of the kind of weapon
it is. Weapons which automatically fail an Ammo roll
will pass on a 4 or more.
Note that the auto-repairer is kept in the gang’s
territory and is not associated with any specific heavy.
As it does not belong to a specific model its value is
not included in the gang’s rating. If the gang is raided
in the Raid scenario then the auto-repairer is
automatically destroyed if the encounter is lost.
BIO-BOOSTER
A bio-booster is a small chemical charge that fits into
a wrist band or similar. The booster’s bio-sensor is
activated when the wearer is injured, administering a
shot of booster chemical into the bloodstream by
means of a pressure diffuser. The bio-booster is selfadministering
and completely automatic.
Special Rules
If a fighter is wearing a bio-booster then on his first
Injury roll 1-3 counts as a flesh wound, 4-5 is down
and 6 is out of action. This only applies to the
fighter’s first Injury roll – ie, the roll made when his
last wound is gone – not to subsequent Injury rolls in
the recovery phase.
The bio-booster will only work once per game. If a
fighter recovers and is then injured for a second time
his bio-booster will have no further effect as it has
been discharged.

NECROMUNDA
A bio-scanner detects life signs within the proximity
of the user. The device is small, about the size of a
pistol, and can be worn upon a belt or around the
owner’s neck. A fighter who carries such a device
improves his chances of spotting enemy intruders.
Special Rules
Hidden Enemy. A model carrying a bio-scanner
trebles the range at which it will see hidden enemy.
For example, a fighter with I4 will spot hidden enemy
at 12" rather than 4".
Intruders. In scenarios which involve sentries and
intruders (eg Raid and Rescue) the bio-scanner
trebles the distance at which sentries can spot
intruders and adds +1 to their chance of spotting all
intruders.
BLINDSNAKE POUCH
The Ratskins milk venom from the albino blindsnake,
mix the toxin with certain secret fungi, and place the
resultant paste into a small leather pouch which is
worn around the neck. The spirit of the blindsnake is
said to watch out for bad spirits and to guide its
owner in the darkness. The mixture in the leather
pouch is absorbed by the fighter’s skin and enhances
his natural psychic sensitivity, endowing him with a
sort of rudimentary sixth sense.
Special Rules
A fighter who carries a blindsnake pouch can sense
when an enemy is waiting to shoot at him. If a fighter
is shot at and hit from overwatch, he has a chance of
ducking or weaving to avoid the shot. Roll a D6. On
the score of a 4+ the fighter avoids the shot and is
safe. Note that this roll is made as soon as the fighter
is hit – it is not a saving throw taken once a fighter is
wounded and no armour save modifiers apply.
