the standard gang advancement table. Before rolling for advancement, you must
declare whether you using the standard or alternative table. The special table
is not without risk, and the result stands.

5 It must be Lurve! Select a ganger at random. A Scummer has
fallen in love with her and will offer his services for free for the next
scenario. If the gang wishes to use him again in succesive scenarios they must
roll a die each time:
1-2 The scummer becomes disillusioned and promptly leaves
the gang.
3-5 The poor love struck fool will continue to work for
nothing in the next scenario.
6 True love! The pair promptly disappear off
into the underhive to make a new life for themselves. Remove the gang
member and her equipment from the gang.
6 Gang members 'persuade' a guilder into offering them a bargain.
Roll on the rare items table, the gang can buy that item for half price.
Ratling Sniper
Escher women like their men nice and puny, so consequently they find the
company of male Ratlings reassuring. An Escher gang can have up to one of
these available for 60 credits.

A Ratling
initially has 20+d6 experience points and can earn experience points and roll
on the advances table, however a Ratling may only ever take skills from the
Stealth and Shooting tables. A Ratling automatically has the Marksman skill
for free. He can be equipped with the same weapons as a ganger. A Ratling
consumes immense quantities of food, so costs the same as 2 normal gangers in
upkeep.

A Squat may be
equipped with any weapon except heavy weapons and initially has 20+d6
experience points. He can gain experience points. All Squats start with the
Specialist skill and one other Techno skill. Included in the Squats price is a
brace of Laspistols and a Flak Jacket. All Squats will always carry at least 2
pistols on their person at all times. Squats are notoriously stubborn and full
of self-belief. Therefore they can always roll to escape pinning regardless of
the presence of other gang members.
House Goliath Specialities
All Goliath can roll on a different advance table, if they wish, rather than the standard advance table. This is not without some risk however.
D6 Alternative
Goliath Advance Table

and power of these massive abhumans and so will take every opportunity to
provide them with gainful employment. A Goliath gang can hire up to 2 Ogryns
at a cost of 180 credits each.

An Ogryn initially
has 60+d6 experience points and can earn experience points and roll on the
advances table, though an Ogryn may only ever take skills from the Combat,
Ferocity and Muscle tables.
Psychology- An Ogryn causes Fear. It is also quite dumb and so is subject to
Stupidity unless a friendly gang member is within 2 inches at the start of
it's turn.
Miscellaneous- An Ogryn is a massive humanoid and so costs the same aas 2
normal humanoids in upkeep. It also can always roll to escape pinning,
regardless of whether friends are nearby.
Ripper Gun
A common item at 60 credits, this massive automatic shotgun is
capable of ripping the arm off a human user, and used solely by Ogryns.
| Weapon | Short | Long | To Hit Short | To Hit Long | Strength | Damage | Save Mod | Ammo | Special |
| Ripper Gun | 0-6 | 6-12 | +4 | -2 | 4 | 1 | - | 6+ | Sustained fire-2 Dice |
Leadership Challenge
When rolling for a Goliath leadership challenge (Outlanders Sourcebook),
modify the dice as follows:
-1 if challenger is stronger than Leader
+1 if challenger is weaker than Leader
-1 if challenger is tougher than Leader
+1 if challenger is not as tough as Leader
This is because
Goliaths value muscles over brains.
House Delaque Specialities
All Delaques can roll on a different advance table, if they wish, rather than the standard advance table. This is not without some risk however.
D6 Alternative
Delaque Advance Table
1 The gang member injures himself on one of the booby traps in
training, miss the next scenario and then roll again on this table.
2 No advance gained, roll again on this table after the next
scenario.
3-4 Roll for a Stealth skill.
5 Roll again
1-2 +1 Weapons Skill
3-6 +1 Ballistic Skill
6 Roll again
1-2 +1 Leadership
3-6 +1 Initiative
Intrigue And Double Dealing
After each mission
roll a die:
1-3 Nothing of interest occurs.
4 The gang find an informant, a colleague or relative of a rival
gang.This information costs 10 credits with every use.
Roll every time you wish to use him:
1 The informant double-crosses the Delaques
(not very sensible move for
longterm survival!). The other gang
may choose whichever scenario they
like without rolling on the
Scenario table.
2 The informant is uncovered and killed. No
modifiers to the Scenario table
apply.
3 The data is of marginal use. Add or subtract
1 from the Scenario table.
4 The data is useful. Add or subtract 2 from
the Scenario table.
5-6 The informant reveals detailed plans. The Delaques may
choose the
Scenario without rolling on the
Scenario table.
An informant can be used repeatedly against the other gang,
once per scenario,
until the informant is killed or double-crosses the
Delaques.
5 The gang have obtained some valuable information on a senior
member of a noble house and decide to utilise it. The gang may either extort
d6x10 credits from him or roll on the rare item table, where the item rolled
is sold to the gang at half-price. However the noble might not be too happy
with the gang. Roll a die and on the roll of a 1 or 2 then a Bounty Hunter
will join the opposition gang's side for free in the next scenario!
6 The gang persuades the Arbitrator's office to issue a warrant
for the arrest of a rival gang. For the next scenario the gang may employ a
Bounty Hunter for free, as his costs will be met by the Arbitrator.
Leadership
Challenges
Delaques are not renowned for their loyalty and trusting natures and so a
special table is used for Delaque Leadership Challenges:
1-2 Hand-to-Hand
3-4 Shoot-out
5 Assassination! Use Outlaw Scenario 1: The Hit, form the
Outlanders boxed supplement with each ganger siding as follows:
1-2......Sides with challenger
3-5......Stays out of it
6........Loyal to the leader
In addition, if there is more than 30 credits in the stash
then the challenger
has hired a Scummer to bump off the leader. Play as
Scenario 1 until either the
Challenger or Leader is taken out of action.
6 Fanatically Loyal
House Cawdor Specialities
After each scenario roll d6, adding 1 if the gang won the battle.
1-3 Nothing of
note happens.
4 Recruiting Mission- This costs 25 credits, but you may roll a
sustained fire dice for the number of Juves that join your gang for free
(treat Jam as zero).
5 Imperial Preacher- Roll for every member you wish to send to
listen to the preacher's sermon.
1 The gang member is overcome by zeal and joins
a crusade for the next d3
scenarios. He earns d6 experience
for each scenario missed but at the end
he must roll a d6. If he rolls a 1
then he does not return...
2-4 The sermon is inspiring but no tangible benefit is
gained.
5 The sermon fills the gang member with
righteous anger. From know on he is
subject to Frenzy (or becomes a
zealot if desired).
6 The fighter comes away more determined than
ever to die for the cause.
Add 1 to his leadership
characteristics (if less than his maximum).
6 Mutant Hunt- Any gang member not required for collecting income
or finding rare items after the scenario may join a mutant hunt downhive.Each
gang mamber taking part earns d6 experience points but must roll a d6. On a
roll of 1 they have been injured and must roll on the Serious Injuries Chart.
Treat a roll of captured as eaten, unless they possess a concealed blade or
the Escape Artist Skill.
7 A Holy Relic is available at a cost of 100+4d6 credits. If
possessed by the gang all Cawdors within 12 inches of the bearer may retake
any Leadership based tests.
Hired Guns
Cawdors are renowned for their humourless and intolerant way of life. As a
result many hired guns will have nothing to do with them. If a Cawdor gang
wishes to use new hired guns in a scenario roll a d6, on a roll of 1-3 no new
hired guns will work for them this scenario. However once a hired gun agrees
to work for the gang he will continue to work for the gang regardless of the
die roll.
No Cawdor gang will ever hire a Wyrd, indeed if the opposition ever have a
Wyrd working for them then roll on the leader's Leadership with 3d6. If the
roll is less than or equal to his Leadership then this gang is subject to
Hatred for the entire scenario.
Leadership
Challenges
As a house dominated by Redemptionists, Cawdor gangs use an alternative
Leadership Chart:
1 Hand-to-Hand
2 Shoot-out
3-6 Fanatically Loyal
House Orlock Specialities
Orlocks have only one major advantage, and that is their powerful industry. Their armouries are always full to the brim with any exotic weaponry. To represent this, roll after each scenario on the following table:
1-2 Nothing of
note happens.
3 An ex-ganger takes one of your gangers aside and shows him how
to use a special weapon. If you have a ganger who is not searching for rare
items or collecting income off a territory then he may gain the Specialist
skill at a cost of 10 credits.
4 Imperial Guard Contract. The clan has been producing many rare
and wonderful weapons for the Imperial Guard recently. As a result treat any
rare weapons or gunsights as common until the next scenario.
5 The gang does a favour for a prominent black marketeer. In
return he offers you a slightly soiled heavy weapon that "fell off the
back of a slave train!" The gang may purchase a heavy weapon of their
choice for half-price. However the weapon is not in mint condition and so
there is a -1 modifier on an ammo roll with this weapon.
6 The gang is offered a discount by a prominent Orlock boss. The
gang may purchase as many basic, pistol and close combat weapons and grenades
as they like with 20% off the total price.
Orlocks can always
purchase heavy and special weapons at 10% off their value, due to their vast
stocks of such weapons in clan armouries.
