NECROMUNDA
ONE IN A MILLION WEAPON
The One in a Million Weapon is a rare example of the
weaponsmiths’ art, made from the best materials to
the finest standards and the most exacting tolerances.
Such weapons are prized beyond mere cash. Men
have fought and died to own a weapon such as this.
Special Rules
The weapon is normal for its type but automatically
passes any Ammo roll it is required to make. If it is a
weapon that would normally automatically fail its
Ammo roll then it will pass on the D6 roll of a 4, 5 or
6. Roll a D6 to find out what kind of weapon you have
been offered: 1-2 pistol, 3-4 basic, 5 special, 6 heavy.
You can choose any weapon from the category rolled.
PHOTO-CONTACTS
Photo-contacts are multi-layered plastic lenses worn
on the eyes to enhance vision in poor light
conditions. They also incorporate a photochromatic
layer which protects the wearer’s sight against
sudden bright flashes.
Special Rules
Flash. A fighter wearing photo-contacts may re-roll a
failed Initiative test to avoid the effects of a Photon
Flash flare.
Smoke. A fighter wearing photo-contacts can see and
move through smoke without penalty. He can shoot
through smoke but suffers a -1 to hit penalty when
doing so.
PHOTO-VISOR
A photo-visor is a special visor that enhances vision in
poor light conditions. It also incorporates a
photochromatic layer that protects the wearer against
sudden bright flashes.
Special Rules
Flash. A fighter wearing a photo-visor may re-roll a
failed Initiative test to avoid the effects of a Photon
Flash flare.
Smoke. A fighter wearing a photo-visor can see and
move through smoke without penalty. He can shoot
through smoke but suffers a -1 to hit penalty when
doing so.
SILENCER
A silencer damps out the sound of an auto-pistol or
stub gun shot. When equipped with a silencer these
weapons are effectively silent, a useful factor in some
of the scenarios.
54
SKULL CHIP
This is a small bio-chip that looks like a stud or tiny metal
plate covered in circuitry. It is attached to the skull by
means of a fine needle-like pin which fixes straight into
the brain. The chip melds with the wearer’s mind and
improves his reaction time and memory functions.
Special Rules
A fighter wearing a skull chip can re-roll any Initiative
characteristic-based dice test that he fails. For example,
he can re-roll a failed test to avoid being pinned by
enemy fire. Once implanted the chip cannot be removed
and transferred to another fighter.
RATSKIN MAP
It is commonly supposed that the Underhive contains
huge amounts of treasure: collapsed tunnels leading to
untapped mines and caverns containing piles of
gemstones waiting to be discovered, and long lost
domes brimming with archeotech. It is also common
knowledge that the Ratskins know of many such places
as well as paths through and under the hive that no
ordinary man has ever travelled. It is equally common
knowledge that anyone trying to sell you an ancient
Ratskin treasure map is inevitably on the make. On the
other hand, the map looks real, it’s certainly very old,
and the trader sounds genuine. Dare you take the risk?
Special Rules
If you decide to buy the map roll to see how accurate it
is before you play your next game. If the map is accurate
it will enable you to manoeuvre round your enemy, and
gives you an advantage when deciding which scenario to
fight. If it’s a good one you can use the map from then
on. Roll a D6:
1 Fake. Your opponent can choose the next
scenario automatically, there is no need to roll for
it.
2 Treasure map. The map shows the whereabouts
of an ancient archeotech hoard. Roll a further D6
to determine whether it is real or a fake. On a 1-5
it is a fake. On a 6 the map is genuine and you can
add an Archeotech Hoard to your territory for
free. The map has no further use.
3 Vague and inaccurate. The map is a vague and
inaccurate copy but it does reveal some
worthwhile information. When you fight a battle
you may add or subtract 1 from the Scenario chart
to decide which scenario is played.
4 Worn and incomplete. Though badly worn and
incomplete the map is essentially accurate. When
you fight a battle you may add or subtract up to 2
from the Scenario chart to decide which scenario
is played.
