combat any model that goes down is automatically out of action. His enemy LEADERSHIP finishes him off with a quick blow and the model is removed. KEEPING YOUR NERVE This section of the rules is concerned with how your fighters react under fire: whether they bravely continue to fight while shells explode around them or whether they turn tail and run for cover.
Regardless of your own feelings or those s leader, even the most hardened gang fighter can be driven off or forced to take cover as the action hots up.
In multiple combats a fighter who gets knocked down has more chance of survival. Where all models on one side get knocked down they are automatically taken out of action. Where two or more models are fighting on the same side, some can go down and crawl away at 2" in their movement phase so long as at least one friendly model continues to fight.
Nerve Tests A fighter may be called upon to take a test to see if his nerve holds. A nerve test works in the same way as a Leadership test. If the test is passed then the fighter keeps his nerve and there is no further effect.
Breaking Fighters If a gang fighter gets knocked down or goes out of action, then each friendly model within 2" must take an immediate nerve test.
If the model was hit from a weapon with the high impact rule any resulting nerve tests incur a -1 Leadership penalty. The sight of a fellow ganger being ripped to shreds by such a devastating weapon is enough to knock the confidence of even the hardiest of fighters.

Summoning Summoning is the process used to summon Daemonic Creatures before each scenario. Any war band whose listing says that they may perform a summoning may do so before the battle starts. The summoning player selects one Daemonic Creature to summon. Each war band has a list of Daemonic Creatures it can summon; their stats are within the bestiary.
The opposing player rolls a D66. The total amount is the total amount the summoning player must roll equal to or more then to successfully summon the Daemonic Creature. If the one war band is either an Ordo Malleus or a Chaos Coven, it may reroll one (1) of the dice, but must accept the second result.
The summoning player then rolls a D6 for each friendly model in its war band to a maximum of 14. Beasts, Constructs, Daemons, allies, and Hired Guns do not making these rolls.
Each D6 result is added together. If this total is equal to or greater than the opposing players D66 amount, the summoning is successful the Daemon may be setup as if it were a friendly model and functions as if it were an ally.
If the result is unsuccessful, the Daemon is not summoned this scenario. The summoning player may try again in the next scenario.

DEATH OF A GANG LEADER Even hardened and much loved Gang Leaders can fall victim to the twists of fate. If the leader of your gang dies or is sold to slavers then don't despair, your gang will live on to avenge his untimely demise!
It's not possible to recruit a new Gang Leader mid-campaign, instead the Ganger with the highest Leadership characteristic will take over as the new leader of your gang. If multiple Gangers have the same Leadership value then the Ganger with the most Experience points out of those will take command.
Heavies and Juves cannot become the gang's new leader. Heavies spend all of their time tinkering with weapons and gubbins while a gang led by a Juve would hardly be respected or feared.
The new leader from then on follows all of the usual rules associated with a Gang Leader. For example, he will gain access to new skills and special weapons and will no longer be able to work

Example: A gang consists of a leader, two heavies, four gangers and three juves. The gang fights a battle and two of the gangers go out of action but survive to fight another day. After the game is over the player works out his income. He has only two remaining gangers to work the gang s territories. These naturally collect income from the two best territories held by the gang, which happen to be Old Ruins (10 points) and Mine Workings (D6x10). A roll of 4 for the mine gives a total of 10+40 = 50 credits. There are 10 fighters to support so the gang is left with a total of 15 credits profit to add to its stash.
GIANT KILLER BONUS When a gang fights and beats an enemy with a higher gang rating it receives extra income. The gang s contacts are impressed by its success and traders are keen to expand their dealings with the Giant Killers.
The chart below shows the extra income a gang earns after beating an enemy with a higher gang rating. Note this is added to the gang's income, not profit.

Out here they can only rely on their own cunning wits, skills and a bagful of the best weapons. Bounty hunters are loners who neither need nor want to be associated with a gang. Bounty hunters will hire their esteemed services to a gang leader if there are no decent bounties to be had, but such allegiances tend to be temporary. Bounties are displayed at all trading posts, offering rewards to anyone who brings in outlaw leaders, gangs, mutants and other criminal types. Sometimes general bounties are declared on ratskin renegades, mutants, vermin or on a particular Underhive monster that's terrorising the locals. The rewards offered are good, but the job is a hard one, and many bounty hunters die out in the wastes, slain by the outlaws and mutants they set out to hunt.
RECRUITING BOUNTY HUNTERS If a player wants to hire a Bounty Hunter he must pay the standard hire fee, which is 35 credits. A gang can only hire a single Bounty Hunter. The profile and

Starting with the attacker, each player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, either a ruined building structure or a connecting walkway. It is suggested that the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4' x 4'.
GANGS Before setting up his gang the defender splits his fighters into one or more groups each of two or more models. The defender chooses one group and places it in the approximate centre of the table.
SPECIAL If the losing gang has at least three enemy models taken out of action, and suffers at least three times as many casualties out of action as the opposing gang, then the winners can take over a random territory from the losers.

Note that although attackers may not set up within 12" of a defender, this is not true of the defending fighters who may set up within 1" of ambushers. They cannot set up in hand-to-hand combat.
STARTING THE GAME Once both sides have completed their set-up the defending player rolls a D6 for each group that he was allowed to place freely (that he rolled a 6 for). On a total of 0-5 the attacking player gets the first turn.
On a total of 6 or more the defender goes first.

Only outlaw gangs pay no heed to this unwritten code, shooting up settlements, killing Underhivers and robbing drinking holes.
In this scenario fighters from two rival gangs meet in a small wastezone settlement. The situation is tense because neither side wants to be seen breaking the peace. The locals hide behind closed doors, fearful that a firefight may develop. Meanwhile the fighters converge from opposite sides of the settlement. As they catch sight of each other they prepare to stand their ground, neither willing to give way, but not wishing to be seen drawing a weapon first. Soon they stand almost face to face, hands hovering above guns, eyes fixed intently upon their targets.
TERRAIN The terrain represents a small wastezone settlement. Each player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, either a ruined building or a connecting walkway.
Terrain that blocks line of sight cannot be placed in between the two gangs. It is suggested that the terrain is set up within an area 4' x 4' or thereabouts.
