# 26. The Gauntlet V2 _Get ready to run!_ :::note Rust Town Run _For those who think the horror-infested depths of the underhive aren't dangerous enough - there's the Rust Town Run! This special scenario utilises the Necromunda Badzone Delta-7 tiles set to create a twisting maze of death - putting runners against hunters, as one player tries to guide their gangers to glory, while the other tries to knock them into giant fans and blazing furnaces!_ _The Rust Town Run is legendary among the underhive inhabitants of Hive Primus. Every sump-scraper, done runner and ripper herder has heard the tales of Bald Bryen's path of perils, and when news spread of a gang willing to take on the Mayor of Rust Town's maze, hivers flock to see the action. Spectators cram themselves into vent shafts and drain irises, or gather around flickering pict-screens for a good view of the action. Fistfuls of scrip change hands as they bet on the runners, getting good odds on most likely to be eviscerated or the number of juves who fall into the grinder. For a gang, the run is a chance to prove their worth and win glory for their house, plus maybe even scrag one of Bald Bryen's 'chrono crystals' - rare gems worth a Guilder's ransom in creds. Of course the Rust Town Run is more then just a dungeon of deadly perils, and when a gange takes up the challenge the call goes out for skilled killers to oppose them. There is no shortage of gangers willing to don the mantle of one of Bryen's hunters, the chance to stop a run in its tracks almost as prestigious as completing one._ _No one knows for sure when Bald Bryen’s Rust Town Run started or where the crazed mayor got the idea, though more than one Guilder has made the comparison between the Rust Town Run and stories of Helmawr’s Gauntlet. When the great wheels of industry complete their long and prodigious revolution, Helmawr’s scriveners descend upon the Clan Houses to count the fruits of their labour and measure it against the hive tithe quotas. When these vast tallies are reckoned, one House stands at the top of the production output and another at the bottom. In his beneficence, Helmawr allows the lowly House a chance to reclaim its honour by sending its champions to complete his Gauntlet – a maze of punishment chambers designed to torment both mind and body. The other Houses can send their own champions to see that the lowly House stays in its place, and so take on a role not unlike Bald Bryen’s hunters. If the lowly House can defeat Helmawr’s Gauntlet then the Lord of Necromunda might grant them his forgiveness and a measure of the top House’s output – all the more reason for the other Houses to make sure they fail. So it is for the Rust Town Run, and if a gang can win their way through, their fortunes will swell, almost always at the expense of the gang that failed to stop them._ ::: **Source: Warhammer Community, January 2019** ## Attacker & Defender In this scenario, one gang is the attacker (known as the runners) and the other is the defender (known as the hunters). In a campaign, the player who chose this scenario is the attacker. In a skirmish, players should roll off and the winner decides whether they will attack or defend. ## Battlefield The Gauntlet has been set up by Bald Bryen so it is especially dangerous for the runners taking part (not to mention entertaining for the paying spectators). The battlefield is set up as shown on the map below, using the [Badzone Delta-7 tiles](/docs/battlefield-setup/special-terrian-features/badzone-delta-7): Once the tiles have been placed, four doors are added as follows: 1. One double door on the Unlit Crossroad tile, in the lit gap closest to the bridge tile. 2. One single door on the Ventilation Turbine tile, where the one square gap is between wall and tile edge closest to the bridge. 3. One double door on the Ventilation Turbine tile where the hazard stripes are. 4. One double door at the entrance to the vault on the Secure Vault tile. Finally, a single loot casket should be placed in the Vault (the grey room). After the doors have been placed, the defender may add up to four barricades anywhere on the battlefield. At the beginning of the battle, all doors are closed but not locked, with the exception of the Vault door which is of course locked!  ## Crews - **Attacker:** Custom (D6+4). - **Defender:** Random (D3+4). ## Tactics Cards - **Attacker:** Custom (2). - **Defender:** Random (2). - **Underdog** (starting crew cost): +1 random per 100 credits. ## Deployment The attacker deploys first, placing their crew of runners anywhere within 6" of the centre of the Unlit Crossroad tile. The defender then deploys their crew of hunters as described by the From the Shadows special rule below. The attacker has priority for the first round. ## Special Rule: From the Shadows Bald Bryen likes to make sure the odds are stacked against the runners, and the Gauntlet is filled with hidden tunnels and hatches only the hunters have access to. At the start of the battle, the defender can set up their crew of hunters anywhere on the battlefield (with the exception of the Unlit Crossroad tile) or can choose to have them Lurking in the Shadows. Fighters that are Lurking in the Shadows take no part in the battle until they are deployed. When it is the defenders’ turn to activate a fighter, they can choose to either: - Pass (taking no action). - Activate a Ready fighter as normal. - Move a fighter that is Lurking in the Shadows onto the battlefield (placing it anywhere on the battlefield at least 3" from an enemy fighter). - Remove a Standing and Active or a Prone and Pinned fighter from the battlefield to Lurk in the Shadows once more. - When a fighter that was Lurking in the Shadows is placed on the battlefield, they are not given a Ready marker; they are considered to have used their activation to enter the Gauntlet. At the beginning of the following round, the fighter is given a Ready marker and may be activated to take actions as normal. ## Special Rule: Something to Prove Once the run begins, it is all or nothing! In this scenario neither side need to make Bottle tests. However, if at the start of any round, half of the attacker’s Crew (rounding fractions up) are Seriously Injured or Out of Action, the attacker may voluntarily bottle out. ## Objectives **Attacker:** Break into the Vault and open the loot casket (retrieving the chrono crystal). **Defender:** Stop all the runners by taking them all Out of Action. ## Ending the Battle The battle ends when: - Only one gang has fighters remaining (at the start of any round). - An attacking fighter opens the loot casket in the Vault. ## Victory If the attacker wins by claiming the chrono crystal, otherwise the defender wins. ## Rewards #### Credits - +10 credits for each opposing Ganger or Juve taken Out of Action. - +20 credits for each opposing Champion taken Out of Action. - +40 credits for the opposing Leader taken Out of Action. The attacker can sell the chrono crystal for 2D6x20 credits (if they get it) or hold onto it as it might be useful at some point in the future... #### Experience Scenario specific rewards: - +1 for taking part. - +1 to each defender for taking an attacker Out of Action (in addition to the standard for this). - +D3 to each winning attacker. Standard rewards: - +1 for taking an enemy Out of Action. - +1 for taking an enemy Leader or Champion Out of Action. - +1 for killing an enemy (during the battle). - +1 for Rallying. #### Reputation - +1 to both gangs. - +1 to winning defender. - +3 to winning attacker. :::danger House Rule ## Infiltrate **Problem:** Infiltrate can be imbalanced or break this scenario. **Solution:** If at least one player wants, Infiltrate can't be used in this scenario. Instead, Infiltrating fighters can make 1 or 2 move actions before the first round. :::

# Lasting Injuries & Damage :::info You are viewing the archived rules from before the 2023 Core books. Use the menu to navigate to the current rules. ::: When going Out of Action, a model will suffer one of the following (depending on type): - Fighter: Lasting Injury roll. - Chaotic: Mutation (conditional). - Vehicle: - Crew Lasting Injury roll. - Lasting Damage roll (suffer 2 rolls if reduced to 0 Wounds and rolling over at the same time). If an Injury roll results in more than 1 Out of Action result, roll separately on the Lasting Injuries table for each. :::danger House Rule (A&A) Only take one Injury roll per fighter ::: ### Going Into Recovery When going Into Recovery, miss both the post-battle sequence of the current battle and the next battle in order to recover. This means that Leaders and Champions going Into Recovery can't perform post-battle actions after the battle they received the injury. No matter how many Lasting Injury rolls are made, the effect only applies once (does not stack). ### Characteristic Penalties A fighter can gain a decrease in a Characteristic. This does not decrease the cost. Note that a decrease in a characteristic that is depicted as a target number actually increase this number. For example if WS 4+ is decreased, it becomes WS 5+. ### Minimum Characteristics Characteristics can't be reduced beyond a certain level. If reduced below this level, go Into Recovery, but suffer no additional penalty. #### Fighters | | | | --------------------- | ------------ | | WS, BS and I: | Minimum 6+. | | Cl, Ld, Will and Int: | Minimum 12+. | | S, T, M & W: | Minimum 1. | #### Vehicles | | | | ---------- | ---------------------------- | | Toughness: | Minimum 3 (front/side/rear). | | Sv: | 6+. | | Hnd: | 10+. | ### Succumbing To Injuries Seriously Injured fighters at the end of a battle survive without Lasting Injuries on a 3+. On a 1-2, they succumb to their injuries and are treated as having gone Out of Action (suffer a Lasting Injury roll as normal). ## Mutations _Open wounds are a gateway for more than just disease and rot._ The following gangs have additional effects when suffering Lasting Injuries: - Corpse Grinder Cult - Chaos Cult - Corrupted gang If a Lasting Injury has a Mutation effect, roll a D6 and apply the following modifiers: - +1 if inflicted by a Chaos Cult, Corpse Grinder Cult or Corrupted gang. - +1 if the fighter is a Daemon or daemonically possessed. - +1 if already having mutation(s). If the result is 6+, the Lasting Injury is replaced by a Mutation. Each mutation can only be gained once. If the mutation is a duplicate, choose another. When a fighter gain a number of Mutations equal to the Toughness, they become a Chaos Spawn. If the gang is a Chaos Cult, Corpse Grinder Cult or Corrupted gang, it is added to the gang. :::note Pets shouldn't be able to gain Mutations.

# Setting Up The Campaign _Source: Necromunda: Apocrypha Necromunda (2024)_ Setting up an Uprising Campaign is a task that falls to the Arbitrator. To set up the campaign, the Arbitrator must make sure that all of the players have founded their gang and chosen their Allegiance (or decided to begin the campaign unaligned). This is best done in a single evening or session where everyone playing in the campaign meets and goes through all the steps of setting up the campaign together and generally gets excited about the fun ahead. ### Set Start And End Dates The Uprising Campaign is divided into six campaign cycles, separated by a single cycle of Downtime after the first three cycles, meaning that the campaign will last a total of seven cycles. For ease, we have set each cycle as a week, as this is usually how often gaming groups or groups of friends get together to play. However, if the players choose, a cycle can represent a longer or shorter period of real time. The first step in setting up the campaign is for the Arbitrator to determine the start date, the end date and when the Downtime cycle will fall. They then share this information with the players. :::note ### Alternative Uprisings There are many insidious cults operating deep within the underhive. Although this supplement focuses on Corpse Grinder Cult uprisings, players may wish to experiment with other types of insurrection. Genestealer Cult gangs and Helot Chaos Cult gangs both make fine participants in an Uprising Campaign. ::: ### Founding Gangs Before the campaign begins, each player must found a gang using the rules presented in the Necromunda Core Rulebook. The Uprising Campaign is designed to be played using only Underhive battles, though if the Arbitrator wishes, Ash Wastes battles can be included. ### Completing a Gang Roster When playing in an Uprising Campaign, players will need to complete a gang roster. The Uprising Campaign roster tracks additional information compared to the one provided in the Necromunda Core Rulebook. The Uprising Campaign gang roster is made up of a number of elements, as shown opposite: the gang’s name and Allegiance (1) and House (2), its Gang Rating (3), Reputation (4) and Meat (5), the Territories it holds (6) and its Stash (7), containing unspent credits, surplus equipment (both weapons and Wargear), and so on. It also has a line for each fighter in the gang, with space for their names (8), fighter type (9), Cost (10), Experience earned (11), the number of Advancements and/or Mutations gained (12), and whether they are currently In Recovery (13), are Starving (14) or have suffered any injuries or been Captured (15). Note that although the number of rows is limited, there is no upper limit on the number of fighters a gang can contain. Should a gang be lucky enough to have more fighters than can be fitted onto one gang roster, simply use a second gang roster for extra space.  ### Choosing Sides When a hive collapses into anarchy, gangs swiftly find themselves either defending the status quo, or putting a torch to everything in sight. In the Uprising Campaign, two opposed forces are battling for the fate of the hive – the instruments of Lord Helmawr’s authority representing the agents of Order, and those aligned with the rebellion representing the servants of Chaos in all its many forms. When creating a gang for an Uprising Campaign, each player must decide if they represent Order, Chaos or wish to begin the campaign Unaligned. Each comes with its own benefits as detailed below, though be warned, no gang can stand on the sidelines forever and eventually Unaligned players will need to choose between one side or the other. Some gangs can only be part of either Order or Chaos, their nature deciding their fate when they are created, and players fielding these gangs must join the faction indicated: - Corpse Grinder Cult and Chaos Helot Cult gangs are always part of the Chaos side. - Palanite Enforcer gangs and Genestealer Cults\* are always part of the Order side. - All other gangs may choose to be either Order, Chaos or Unaligned at the start of the campaign. _\*Players should note that Genestealer Cults have their own insidious agendas and often hide in plain sight, masquerading as loyal Imperial subjects. The machinations of Chaos are anathema to such alien plans, and so Genestealer Cults will readily take up arms to help quell such an uprising, strengthening their own power in doing so…_ #### Benefits Of Order Gangs aligned with the agencies of Order gain the following benefits: - **Lord Helmawr’s Coffers:** The gang may re-roll any dice when determining the amount of credits gained as part of a scenario. - **Pax Imperium:** If the gang is the defender in a battle, they may add one more fighter of their choice to their crew than normally allowed by the scenario. #### Benefits Of Unaligned Gangs who have yet to choose their Allegiance gain the following benefits: - **Hard as Nails:** When the gang gains Reputation as part of a scenario, it gains 1 more Reputation than normal. - **No Gods or Masters:** If the gang’s Leader participated in a battle and did not go Out of Action, they gain an extra D3 Experience points in addition to any other Experience gains. #### Benefits Of Chaos Gangs aligned with the servants of Chaos gain the following benefits: - **Bloody Harvest:** When the gang gains Meat as part of a scenario, it gains one more portion of Meat than normal. - **Tear it all Down:** If the gang is the attacker in a battle, they may add one more fighter of their choice to their crew than normally allowed by the scenario. :::note ### Balancing Order And Chaos The Uprising Campaign has been designed to work with any mix of Chaos, Order or Unaligned gangs, and it is as possible to find the agents of Order fighting amongst themselves to control the hive as it is for the servants of Chaos to squabble over its ruins. However, as a guideline, an Uprising Campaign should include at least one Chaos aligned gang and one Order aligned gang at the start, with any number of Unaligned gangs. This allows for sides to form naturally over the course of the campaign, with gangs either choosing to fight to save their hive or succumb to the madness of Chaos. Other alternatives include starting the campaign with all gangs but one aligned with either Order or Chaos – representing a lone beacon of light struggling to hold back the night, or the seeds of corruption planted in the heart of the hive’s hierarchy. ::: #### Changing Sides By default, gangs cannot switch between Order and Chaos during the course of the campaign, as this keeps things simple and ensures that there will always be at least one gang fighting for either side of the rebellion. If the Arbitrator chooses, gangs can be allowed to change sides if certain conditions are met – representing the corrupting influence of the Ruinous Powers or the ruthless cunning of Lord Helmawr’s servants in pitting enemies against one another. Order gangs will fall to Chaos if at least three of their fighters become Chaos Spawn as a result of Festering Injuries (see page 85). Chaos gangs will find themselves unwittingly aiding the forces of Order if at least three of their fighters are Captured, then returned to them willingly by their Captors (i.e., not recovered by the gang as part of the Public Execution scenario). Once a gang has changed sides it may not change back – both the Imperial House and the Dark Gods have little sympathy for traitors to their cause. ### Determine Territories At the start of the Uprising Campaign, each player’s gang begins in control of three Territories. One of these is determined by the type of gang they are playing as follows. This represents the gang’s home base or hideout and can never be lost, even if it is the only Territory the gang controls. The two remaining Territories are generated randomly (see page 88). There are no uncontrolled Territories in an Uprising Campaign. ### Issuing and Accepting Challenges During an Uprising Campaign, battles are fought on a challenge basis: - During each cycle, each player may issue one challenge to another gang to do battle: - In the first cycle, challenges are made in a random order. - In later cycles, they are made in ascending order of Gang Rating, starting with the gang with the lowest Gang Rating. If two gangs have the same Gang Rating, the winner of a roll-off makes their challenge first. - No Territories are declared as the stake of the battle. - If one of a gang’s fighters has been captured by another gang, rather than rolling on the Scenario table, a gang that has had one of its fighters captured by another gang may issue a challenge to that gang to play the Public Execution scenario (see page 108). If the challenge is declined, then the captured fighter is automatically returned. - When a gang is challenged, they may accept or decline. If the challenge is accepted, a battle is fought. If the challenge is declined, the challenging gang automatically takes control of a random Territory controlled by the challenged gang. - If a gang receives two or more challenges within a single cycle, they may decline the second and any subsequent challenges without penalty. - If a player has played all outstanding battles (including their issued challenge and any challenges accepted) and there is still time left in the cycle, they may issue another challenge. If, at the end of the battle, the winning gang inflicted three times as many Out of Action results on their opponent as they themselves suffered (not counting models that left the battlefield voluntarily or fled because of a failed Bottle check), then they take control of one of their opponent’s Territories chosen at random. Otherwise, no Territory changes control. #### Scenario Selection Table Once players have determined who their gangs are fighting, they should roll on the Uprising Scenarios table below to determine which scenario they will play. In some cases, there will be a choice as to which scenario is played. In these cases, the player whose gang is fighting for the side with Ascendancy (see page 80) may choose. #### Uprising Scenarios Table | &nbsp;&nbsp;2D6&nbsp;&nbsp; | Result | | :-------------------------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 2-3 | Choose any scenario. | | 4-5 | Play [Meat Harvest](/docs/scenarios/scenario-list/meat-harvest) or Scaveng. | | 6-7 | Play [Hit & Run](http://localhost:3000/docs/scenarios/scenario-list/hit-and-run) or [Show of Force](/docs/scenarios/scenario-list/show-of-force). | | 8-9 | Play [Search & Destroy](/docs/scenarios/scenario-list/search-destroy). | | 10-12 | Choose any scenario. | :::info Goonhammer Scenario Table Goonhammer has suggested a better way of selecting scenarios for this campaign.

# Setting Up The Campaign _Source: Necromunda: Apocrypha Necromunda (2024)_ Setting up an Uprising Campaign is a task that falls to the Arbitrator. To set up the campaign, the Arbitrator must make sure that all of the players have founded their gang and chosen their Allegiance (or decided to begin the campaign unaligned). This is best done in a single evening or session where everyone playing in the campaign meets and goes through all the steps of setting up the campaign together and generally gets excited about the fun ahead. ### Set Start And End Dates The Uprising Campaign is divided into six campaign cycles, separated by a single cycle of Downtime after the first three cycles, meaning that the campaign will last a total of seven cycles.

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem'; # Corpse Grinder Cult _A cannibal sickness lurks at the heart of Necromunda, like a festering wound that will never heal. It is the great cycle of existence that rules over all who serve the Imperial House, the denizens of the hives either feeding on their predecessors, or feeding the living with their own dead flesh. Corpse Grinder Cults are a by-product of this brutal necessity, charged with the grim task of recycling their fellow hivers into corpse-starch. The Great Houses of Necromunda are intimately familiar with the Corpse Grinder Cults, for they are a plague that rises from within the mortuary combines and Corpse Guilds with regular frequency. Even in the unrelenting horror of the hive, those forced to recycle corpses sometimes rebel against reality, losing their sanity among the whirr of the meat-saw and wet crunch of the bone-grinders. Where once a creature of reason and temperance stood, now a hollow shell consumed by hunger remains – the perfect vessel for the corrupting touch of Chaos to infect._ _Corpse Grinder Cults often start within the hallowed ranks of the Corpse Guilds. From among the toiling workers a leader will arise. Whether these deranged individuals draw the gaze of the Blood God with their cannibal madness or if it is the influence of the Dark God who turns honest men to feast upon the cutting floor is unclear. The result, however, is the same. Over time, a cult leader will become stronger and more ravenous, the growling voice of Khorne driving them to murder so that they might feast upon warmand bloody flesh. Around these debased leaders, deviant cults are formed. Prospective followers might be drawn from within the mortuary manufactorums, or from the greater hive populace. At first trusted members are inducted, and offered a taste of the gory bounty smuggled out of production lines. Thus are entire families and hab communities corrupted, most knowing only that the meat gives them strength and endurance like nothing they have known, unaware of the dark blessing surrounding the cult leader._ ## Fighters <FighterCard cost="130"> ### Butcher (Leader) | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Cl | Wil | Int | | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | | 5” | 2+ | 4+ | 4 | 4 | 2 | 4+ | 2 | 5+ | 5+ | 5+ | 7+ | **Skills:** 1 Primary (custom). **Wargear:** Mask (Butcher), plate mail armour. **Restrictions:** Close Combat. #### First to the Fray Charge distance is Move + D6” (instead of D3”). #### Mask (Butcher) - 6+ save (unmodifiable by AP). - Terrifying. - Can't be improved by other armour. #### Terrifying Pass a Willpower test to target this fighter with a Fight (Basic) or Shoot (Basic) action, or the action ends immediately (wasted).

Weapons marked with an asterisk (\*) take up the space of two weapons. - Any fighter may take Wargear. - Weapon accessories marked with a dagger (†) may not be combined together on the same weapon.

Additionally, the following rules apply: - During the course of an Uprising Campaign, any fresh recruits added to the gang may be equipped with items currently held in the gang’s Stash, rather than purchasing new equipment. - During the course of the campaign, gangs may gain new equipment, either by purchasing it from the gang’s House Equipment List or as a result of Scavenging. These items are added to the gang’s Stash and may be distributed among fighters during any post-battle sequence: - A fighter cannot be given a new weapon of a type not allowed by their entry within their House List. - Leaders and Champions can be given additional weapons, but if they have more than three weapons, they will have to fill out multiple Fighter cards, each representing a different ‘set’ of equipment. - A fighter may discard any Wargear carried when given new Wargear. Discarded Wargear is placed in the gang’s Stash. ## Special Rules In a Dominion Campaign, Corpse Grinder Cult gangs are treated just like any other; they begin the campaign with a Settlement Territory which they cannot lose, representing their base of operations. They can take control of unoccupied Territories during the Occupation phase and they can seize control of Territories from other gangs during the Takeover phase. Settlement Territories do not generate Juves; instead, each D6 roll of a 6 generates a free Initiate. If both of the D6s roll a 6, this becomes a single Skinner. Despite their secret agenda, a Corpse Grinder Cult gang is seen as just another gang by most of the locals. They claim Territory Boons just like any other gang. Additionally, a Corpse Grinder Cult gang gains Enhanced Boons for a Corpse Farm Territory as if they were a Cawdor gang and from a Fighting Pit Territory as if they were a Goliath gang. ### Outlaw A Corpse Grinder Cult gang is automatically an [Outlaw gang](core-gang-creation.md#outlaw-gangs). ### Agents Of Misrule In a Law and Misrule Campaign, Corpse Grinder Cult gangs start aligned to Misrule. They cannot change their alignment over the course of the campaign. ### Blessed by the Lord of Skin and Sinew :::note Designer's Commentary Presented below are special rules that will allow you to recreate the events described in Sump City Sinking. If the Arbitrator wishes, these rules can be used by any Delaque gang during a campaign. ::: When a Corpse Grinder Cult fighter with the Gang Hierarchy (X) special rule is activated, their controlling player may attempt to Invoke the Dark Gods before performing any actions. **Invoke the Dark Gods:** This fighter makes a Willpower test, with a +3 modifier if they took an enemy fighter Out of Action in their previous activation. If the test is failed, roll an Injury dice apply the result immediately to this fighter. If the test is passed, the fighter gains the following benefits for the duration of this activation: - +1 to their Strength, Toughness and Attacks characteristics. - Roll a D6 at the end of their activation. On a result of a 4+, they can remove a single Flesh Wound or recover a single lost Wound. _Source: Apocrypha Necromunda: Sump City Sinking_

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem'; # Corpse Grinder Cult _A cannibal sickness lurks at the heart of Necromunda, like a festering wound that will never heal. It is the great cycle of existence that rules over all who serve the Imperial House, the denizens of the hives either feeding on their predecessors, or feeding the living with their own dead flesh. Corpse Grinder Cults are a by-product of this brutal necessity, charged with the grim task of recycling their fellow hivers into corpse-starch. The Great Houses of Necromunda are intimately familiar with the Corpse Grinder Cults, for they are a plague that rises from within the mortuary combines and Corpse Guilds with regular frequency. Even in the unrelenting horror of the hive, those forced to recycle corpses sometimes rebel against reality, losing their sanity among the whirr of the meat-saw and wet crunch of the bone-grinders. Where once a creature of reason and temperance stood, now a hollow shell consumed by hunger remains – the perfect vessel for the corrupting touch of Chaos to infect._ _Corpse Grinder Cults often start within the hallowed ranks of the Corpse Guilds. From among the toiling workers a leader will arise. Whether these deranged individuals draw the gaze of the Blood God with their cannibal madness or if it is the influence of the Dark God who turns honest men to feast upon the cutting floor is unclear. The result, however, is the same. Over time, a cult leader will become stronger and more ravenous, the growling voice of Khorne driving them to murder so that they might feast upon warmand bloody flesh. Around these debased leaders, deviant cults are formed. Prospective followers might be drawn from within the mortuary manufactorums, or from the greater hive populace. At first trusted members are inducted, and offered a taste of the gory bounty smuggled out of production lines. Thus are entire families and hab communities corrupted, most knowing only that the meat gives them strength and endurance like nothing they have known, unaware of the dark blessing surrounding the cult leader._ ## Fighters <FighterCard cost="130"> ### Butcher (Leader) | M | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Cl | Wil | Int | | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | | 5” | 2+ | 4+ | 4 | 4 | 2 | 4+ | 2 | 5+ | 5+ | 5+ | 7+ | **Skills:** 1 Primary (custom). **Wargear:** Mask (Butcher), plate mail armour. **Restrictions:** Close Combat. #### First to the Fray Charge distance is Move + D6” (instead of D3”). #### Mask (Butcher) - 6+ save (unmodifiable by AP). - Terrifying. - Can't be improved by other armour. #### Terrifying Pass a Willpower test to target this fighter with a Fight (Basic) or Shoot (Basic) action, or the action ends immediately (wasted).

:::info You are viewing the archived rules from before the 2023 Core books. Use the menu to navigate to the current rules. ::: # Battlefield Setup & Deployment Some scenarios have special instructions. This is the default method: ## Battlefield Setup ### Sector Mechanicus & Ash Wastes Battlefield Setup Sector Mechanicus should generally a lot of terrain. Ash Wastes uses less terrain and more open/flat areas. Recommended size: - 4'x4'. Set up the battlefield pieces in the following order: 1. Large terrain pieces. 1. Obstacles. 1. 2 Loot caskets. Take turns setting up pieces. The defender starts (or the winner of a roll-off if there is no defender) in each step. The only exception is loot caskets, where the winner of a roll-off starts. At any point in each step, anyone can declare they are finished setting up pieces. The opponent can then set up one last piece before moving on to the next step. Finally, if the scenario does not give special instructions for loot caskets, everyone, starting with the winner of a roll-off, places one anywhere on the battlefield that is not within 6” of an edge of the battlefield. ### Zone Mortalis Battlefield Setup Zone Mortalis should generally have a lot of terrain, tight corridors with a few open areas. Recommended size (using 12" tiles): - 3'x3 or 3'x4'. Set up the battlefield pieces in the following order: 1. Tiles (maximum number described by scenario) and some walls. 1. Minimum 3 Doors (with optional terminals). 1. D6 Barricades. 1. 2 Ductways (optional). 1. 2 Loot caskets. :::danger House Rule Setup D3+3 Barricades instead. ::: Take turns setting up pieces. The defender starts (or the winner of a roll-off if there is no defender) in each step. The only exception is loot caskets, where the winner of a roll-off starts. Each tile must be placed with minimum half of its edges touching an existing tile. Everyone can place any number of doors and terminal. As long as 3 doors have been placed, anyone can declare they are finished. The opponent can then set up one last door. Place D6 barricades (max 3 each). Place 1 ductway per player. Finally, if the scenario does not give special instructions for loot caskets, each player, starting with the winner of a roll-off, places 1 anywhere on the battlefield that is not within 6” of an edge of the battlefield. ## Deployment ### Sector Mechanicus & Ash Wastes Deployment Draw a line dividing the battlefield into 2 equal halves. Starting with the defender (or the winner of a roll-off if there is no defender): - Select one half of the battlefield. - Set up the entire starting crew. - All models must be set up at least 12” away from the dividing line. ### Zone Mortalis Deployment Starting with the defender (or the winner of a roll-off if there is no defender): - Choose a deployment area: - 1 full tile. - 3” area from one edge of the battlefield. - Set up the entire starting crew. The attacker (or the loser of a roll-off if there is no attacker): - Choose a deployment area - 1 full tile that is at least 1 full tile away from the enemy deployment zone. - 2” area from the opposite edge. - Set up the entire starting crew. A fighter can never be deployed (during deployment or as reinforcement) in an area of the battlefield which is entirely blocked off by walls. Unless there is a ductway placed allowing fighters into and out of such areas, no fighters may ever be deployed in blocked-off corners.
