Bonsoir a vous, mes freres.

Au hasard de mes perigrinations sur internet, je suis tombé sur un jeu amateur des plus surprenants.

Tales of the Dark City.

Basé sur le systeme de jeu de Necromunda, il permet au joueurs d'incarner un gang issus de differentes cabales qui s'affrontent dans des luttes a mort au coeur de la citée sombre des Eldars noirs: Commoragh...

Malheuresement le projet reste inabouti et semble avoir été abandonné, la derniere news remontant a aout 2004.

Raison de plus pour poursuivre ce travail, si suffisemment de personnes sont interessées, nous pourrions commencer une traduction et acheverce qui a été commencé.

Rendez vous sur Necromunda reference.

Note qu'un jeu similaire avait été fait il y a bien longtemps et parus sur portent, dans les articles 40k...

Bon c'était bien plus vieux, et n'utilisait pas exactement le système de necromunda, mais restait des plus sympas avec les différents particularismes des grandes cabales, cultes & co...

Vraiment bon.

Enfin bon, pour finir ça, va falloir une quantité de boulot monstre, les seules parties complètes étant le plus évident.

Hail a vous, me revoila...

J'ai fouillé la toile a la recherche de la version complete de Tales from the Dark City avant de trouver un internaute portugais qui disait posséder le rulebook en version compete, je me suis bien sur empressé de lui demander de me l'envoyer, et me voila.

Voici pour vous, mes freres Necromudiens, la version integrale (anglophone) de "Commoragh: Tales from the Dark City".

-THE DARK CITY-

Welcome Sybarite to Commorragh, the dark city - home of the Dark Eldar. What can one say of Commorragh? It’s the embodiment of anarchy and terror. It is fear, hatred and desperation incarnate. The air is filled with the screams of the weak and the cruel laughter of the strong. Its twisted architecture looms out, over-hangs, twists and towers in maddening ways. It’s beyond comprehension, a city every bit as twisted and predatorily as its occupants.

Power is held by the great Kabels who rule with an iron grip of fear over their followers. The Dark Eldar prey upon each other as much as their captives. Within the twisting alleys and shrouded doorways, allegiance is secondary to martial skill. Running battles are fought constantly between the different Kabel warriors. As every up and coming Sybarite tries to make a name for himself within his Kabel. The path is long and treacherous - for every Sybarite that makes it to the power of an Archon, a hundred more fall to the blades of Assassins, rivals and even their most trusted followers. There is no attempt to hide their nature, the Dark Eldar glorify treachery, betrayal, assassination, murder and double dealing - it’s all a way of life to them.

Life is worthless in the Dark City, only pain, misery, and death have value. Only one thing is worth more - power over these values. Those that hold this power at the moment are weak and do not deserve to rule. Your time is now. Succeed or die - step wisely Sybarite.

Dare you enter the Dark City? For once you step upon its streets their is only one escape...

The Kabels of the Dark Eldar...

The Dark Eldar thrive on domination and power. The Lords of the Dark Eldar formed Kabels to hold together dominions and expand their power bases. Every Dark Eldar is a member of a Kabel with the exception of the bloodthirsty Wyches and the mysterious Incubi.

There are many Kabels within of the Dark City; the most powerful and important are listed below. Choose wisely Sybarite for each one has its own advantages and individual styles.

The Bloodied Claw

The Kabal of the Bloodied Claw is renowned for their savagery in battle only surpassed by the Wych Kults. Their domain is on outskirts Commorragh near the warp wastes of the Webway and is not very rich in resources. Bloodied Claw warriors are constantly raiding the other Kabels for raw materials and slaves.

The Dark Eldar of the Kabel often form hunting parties and go out into the wastes to bring back the creatures that live there to fight in their arenas. This is seen as a right of passage amongst the Kabels warriors. The Bloodied Claw Kabel colours are blood red and of all the Kabels they seemed more preoccupied with physique and proving their hardiness. Or they would of overrun a younger, more resource rich Kabel millennia ago.

The Venomed Blade

The youngest of all the Kabels, the follows of the Venomed blade are mysterious and consider themselves masters at stealth and assassination. Indeed their Kabel spawns more Mandrakes than any other. The Dark Eldar of the Venom blade are considered more treacherous and backstabbing. Many of their weapons and blades are poisoned and they prefer to strike from the shadows unseen.

The colours of the Kabel are black and gold; many of their members never take off their helmets and those that do wear masks covering their faces.

The Rending Talon

Another one of the younger Kabels, it is different as Matriarch rules the house and females hold almost all the Kabals positions of power. Although it is common to see many Kabels have females in positions of power. The few males within the Kabel of the Rending Talon seem to be subordinate and lack the usual ambition observed in the Dark Eldar.

The Kabels colours house colour is purple and their territory borders along that of the Bloodied Claw and is subject to there constant marauding. After millennia of fighting the two Kabels hate each other even more than is observed as normal between Dark Eldar.

The All-Seeing Eye

The second oldest Kabel in Commorragh and the wisest of the Dark Eldar. Followers of the All-Seeing Eye are forward planners wanting to manipulate others than take action themselves. It’s no coincidence that the Lord of the Kabel has sat on his throne almost as long Asdrubael Vect - Lord of the Black Hearts.

There preference is for ranged combat where they are able to manipulate the actions of their foes easier. Their Kabel colour is deep blue and dark red. Their territories contain many of the weapon factories in Commorragh and the Kabels warriors are more technically minded and pay attention to even the smallest details than there more flighty cousins.

The Poisoned Fang

The youngest and unstable of all the Dark Eldar Kabels in Commorragh they are known as upstarts and usurpers. The first Lord of the Kabel started his climb to power after leading a bloody coup against the Lord of the Daemon Hearts only a millennia ago. Since then the Lordship of this Kabel has changed hands over a three dozen times in the past 1000 years. Their power base is the vast Space fleet that they control and all the resources that it brings them.

Their position is looked on with envious eyes by other Kabels and they have many blood enemies amongst the All-Seeing Eye and the Black Hearts. The colours of this Kabel are Silver and Black. Due to their lack of numbers, Warriors of the Poisoned Fang have been known to arm and use Slaves in their Raiding parties - given the promise of freedom and better privileges the Slaves fight with a desperate savagery. Again this angers the older Dark Eldar that they dare arm the foul Mon-keigh let alone use them against other Dark Eldar - better they fight in the arenas for sport than on the streets of the Dark City.

The Black Heart

The oldest Kabel in Commorragh, in fact some say their Lord Asbrubeal Vect founded the Dark City by transporting his temple and followers to Webway first. It was his Haemonculi that found a way to stave off the 'She Who Thirsts'. The Black Heart is arrogant and proud even by other Dark Eldar standards. They are also more cruel and twisted; they prefer not to kill their opponents, but to prolong their torture in the arenas and mining pits around their domain. There is a greater amount of Haemonculi in this Kabel always willing to acquire more materials for their experiments. The Black Heart has no preferred method of fighting and they disdain the use of Mon-keigh slaves to fight for them. They have a deep hatred of the Poisoned Fang who they see as usurpers, and they take every opportunity to raid their territories and despoil their Slave caravans.

Raiders in the Dark City...

Commorragh is a dangerous place where even its denizens the Dark Eldar travel together in groups. These groups form Raiding parties under the leadership of an aspiring Sybarite - prey upon the resources of others. Those who join these Raiders are always from the same Kabel.

A Dark Eldar sense of loyalty is based upon his Kabel and to a certain extent this gives him his identity.It has long been the tradition in Dark City that the strong prey upon the weak. Parties of Raiders constantly fight skirmishes over the precious resources of the Dark city for their Kabel. For the Sybarite this is his first step upon the road to ultimate power as he gathers a band of Raiders around him. It is here that his power base will grow as he captures resources for his Kabel, expands his own private domain and gathers more Raiders to his banner.

Few Raiding parties have more than twenty members and most have fewer than a dozen. Of this some will be fully fledged Raiders, warriors of experience who know how to look after themselves on the Kabels borders and frontiers. Others may be young Aspirants out to prove their mettle or even Mon-keigh slaves to carry the Raiders booty and dig in the Raiders mining pits.

Sybarites can even hire the services of the bloodthirsty Wyches from the arenas of the City or a shadowy Mandrake. If a Sybarite can gather enough together enough souls he might even try to buy the services of a mysterious and dreaded Incubi warrior.

Now choose your Raiding party wisely Sybarite for its in the twisted alley ways of the Dark city that your fate will be ultimately decided.

Creating a Raiding Party...

Before you are ready to play Tales from the Dark City you need to start a Raiding party. You will find the Dark Eldar plastic warriors are perfect for this and if you get a box set you should have enough to start to Raiding parties from rival Kabels. The Dark Eldar miniatures have plenty of scope for conversion so adding to your gang or boosting its firepower should not cause too much hardship.

A Raiding party can be any size from three models upwards. Use the lists on the next page as it explains how to recruit and equip your different Raiders.

To begin with you have 1000 Souls (the currency of choice in Commorragh) which to recruit your Raiders. You'll need a piece of paper to write down the details of your Raiding party (I suggest using a photocopy of the Roster in the Necromunda skirmish rulebook). The Roster is a record of your Raiding party and is useful to keep by you when you play. During a skirmish you will find it handy to make notes on the Roster - recording exploits, flesh wounds, exploding weapons. Also don't forget to name your Raiding Party.

You will also notice on your Roster a space to keep track of your Territories. When playing a Tales from the Dark City campaign each Raiding party has it’s own territory that represents resources, contacts and even property owned by the Raiders. As you fight more games you will win more territories and maybe even lose a few to your enemy. Your territories are important as it’s from them you generate the funds that you can spend on hiring new Raiders, buying weapons or trading for exotic items.

Good luck Sybarite, choose your Raiders well for they will be the key to obtaining ultimate power...

 

Recruiting Raiders...

The following list is used to recruit and equip your Raiding party. To start with you have 1000 souls with which you must recruit at least three fighters including the Sybarite. Any unused souls are added to the Raiders stash and can be used later on or hoarded to buy something more expensive.

The weapons you choose for your Raiders must follow the What You See Is What You Get rule. With exception of blades and grenades, which you may assume are tucked inside their clothing, and pistols contained in holsters can be assumed to represent any type of pistol. It's a good idea to decide what your Raiders will be armed with before you assemble them.

Choosing your Raiding Party...

You have 1000 souls to spend on recruiting and arming your Raiders within the following guidelines.

Minimum 3 Raiders - A Raiding party must have at least three models

Sybarite - Your Raiding party must have one Sybarite - no more, no less!

Slave Master - Your Raiding party may have one Slave Master

Raiders - You can include as many Raiders as you can afford

Reapers - A Raiding party may not have anymore than two Reapers at one time

Aspirants - No more than half the Raiding party can made up of Aspirants

Mon-keigh Slaves - You can have a maximum of five slaves if you have a Slave Master

Knives - All Raiders (with the exception of the Mon-keigh slaves) are assumed to be carrying a blade even if the Miniature doesn't have one.

All Raiding parties are lead by a Sybarite who is determined to make a name for himself within his Kabel. A Sybarite is as ruthless and cruel as the Dark City itself. He keeps the Raiders in line, decides when to fight, when to recruit new Raiders and how to spend the Raiders stash.

Weapons: A Sybarite may be armed with weapons choosen from the Hand-to-hand, pistols, basic, assault and grenades list

Special Rules: A Sybarite does not need the support of the rest of his Raiders to fight on his own. He always counts as having a friend within 2", regardless of whether this is the case or not. This means he can always test to avoid being pinned in place.

Any Raider within 6" of the leader may use the leadership of the Sybarite when taking a leadership test. This applies so long as the leader isn't down or pinned himself.

Weapons: A Slave Master may be armed with weapons choosen from the Hand-to-hand, pistols, basic and grenades listSpecial Rules: You may take up to five Slaves.

Special Rules: Like the Sybarite the Slave Master does not need the support of the rest of his Raiders to fight on his own. He always counts as having a friend within 2", regardless of whether this is the case or not. This means he can always test to avoid being pinned in place.

Any Slave within 8" of the Slave must use the leadership of the Slave Master when taking a leadership test. This applies so long as the Slave Master isn't down or broken himself. If the Slave Master is broken or pinned and the Slave is not within 4" of another Dark Eldar, then the Slave must take a leadership test each turn or count as pinned.

Also any captured prisoners can be put to work in the mining pits - adding to the Raider income as long as you have a Slave Master in your Raiding party.

Aspirants can be found hanging around the frontier territories. They are eager to join a Raiding party and become fully fledged Raiders. They are poor fighters and viewed as little more than cannon fodder by most Sybarites. In time though if they survive long enough they become valuable warriors and a potential threat to the Sybarites power.

Many Sybarites buy Slaves to do all the Raiding parties manaul labour and to use as cannon fodder. They carry the Raiders booty, dig in the mining pits and fight in the arenas for their masters. There lives are normally mercifully short.

Weapons: No Sybarite in there right mind would arm a Slaves with a projectile weapon*.

* With the exception of the Poisoned Fang Raiders who can arm their Slaves with Carters from the pistol list if the Sybarite wishes.

Special Rules: Slaves are not known for their bravery as their spirits are broken and general are not trusted by their Dark Eldar Masters. Any Slaves not within 8" of the Slave Master or within 4" of another Dark Eldar has to take a leadership test each turn or count as pinned. Note, the Slave Master or Dark Eldar must not be pinned or broken for the control range to count.

Raiders Weapon list...

Each Raider you recruit can be armed with one or more of the weapons listed below. Different types of Raiders are restricted to different types of weapons, Aspirants - for example can only have hand-to-hand weapons and pistols.

A Reaper can carry only one heavy or assault weapon - eg he can carry a Splinter cannon or Barb cannon, but not both. He can have any other weapons. The miniature is always assumed to be using the weapon depicted in his hands unless the player declares otherwise.

Remember the WYSIWYG rule. If the miniatures does not have the weapon on it then you cannot use it. A Raider can carry grenades even if the model does not actually have them include them, as they are assumed to be stowed inside pockets, pouches and belts. The cost is the price that equipes the model with a supply of grenades - not the cost of a single grenade. Once equipped with grenades a Raider may use them in every battle.

Hand-to-hand

These are the weapons designed to be used purely at close quarters such as swords, fighting claws, axes and even crude clubs. Such weapons cannot be used for shooting but only in hand-to-hand combat.

Even if he runs out of them during a skirmish he can replenish his supply back the Raiders base camp.

Recruitment Complete ...

Once recruited and armed your Raiding party they are ready to embark upon it's struggle to ultimate power. When you recruit your first party of Raiders it's a good idea to get stuck in against another 'raw' Raiding party to get used to some of the new rules in the Tales from the Dark City. Also it gives you chance to learn how your Raiders perform in action before you try out the campaign section.

Now get playing everything you need to know for a basic game of Tales from the Dark City has been included in the last few pages. The new weapon information is included in the Armoury section that follows. The important part of the Tales from the Dark City is on the pages that follow.

Good luck Sybarite

The Armoury

This section describes the different weapons which the Raiders of Commorragh carry in addition to other equipment such as armour and gunsights. As well as the more common place weapons and easily obtained items of equipment there are many more unusual weapons or rare devices carried by the more successful and richer Raiding parties.

Hand-to-hand weapons

Hand to hand weapons include the primitive weapons such as knives, swords and clubs and more advanced weaponary such as power weapons and the deadly agonisor. These weapons cannot be used to shoot, they are exclusively for hand-to-hand fighting only. All Raiders carry a knife or blade in addition to any other weapon they carry tucked into their clothing or boot.

Knife/Blade

Every Raider carries a blade of some type, built from very lightweight materials with edges honed to a mono-molecular edge. There appearences cab be from long bladed close combat knife to the deadly double edged crescent blade.

The Barb pistol is a heavier version of the Splinter pistol with a wider barrel and ammo magazine built into the guns handle. It fires heavy barbs that explode on contact with their target. It has a slow reload rate and it ammunition is expensive to acquire. Also the pistol requires almost constant maintence and spares are hard to come by.

Despite its drawbacks the Barb pistol is a highly favoured weapon amongst Raiders as its more deadly and far more obvious than an Splinter pistol, it makes the ideal side arm for a Sybarite keen to impress his rivils

Carter Pistol - The Carter

The Carter is a primtive hand gun sometimes employed by Slaves if their master are foolish enough to arm them in that manner. Its named after Carter Daily the first Slave to lead an armed revolt in Commorrgh. He and several hundred Slaves manufactured these reliable and simple to maintain weapons in the Kabel machine shops. Before successfully taking a Bloodied Claw Temple and holding it for several days. Carter was never captured and it was assumed that he died when the Bloodied Claw collapsed the temple on top of the Slaves. The Carter is recognisable as a revolver of the kind used in the 20th Century - although it commonly has a small magazine of 5 solid bullets and the fighter carrying it has to have plenty of ammunition in an extended fire fight.

Splinter Pistol

The Splinter pistol is the common side arm in Comorragh and is manufacted in vast quanties in the weapon shops of the Kabel. The pistol may not be the most powerful but it is certainley the most reliable. Its splinter pod will last for number of hard fought fire fights and ammunition is easy to come by. Many more experiences Raiders prefer the Splinter pistol over the more powerful weapon for these very reasons

The Stinger is a special type of gun mainly used by the cities Haemonculi. As with most weapons it has found its way onto the Kabel frontier territories and into the hands of the Raiding parties who constantly fight skirmishes along the borders.

Shuriken Pistol

The Shuriken pistol is a rare weapon on the streets of Commorragh as its a common weapon of the Dark Eldar hated cousins the Craftworld Eldar. These weapons do turn up in Kabel armouries when captives are taken in the Dark Eldar's constant raiding on their 'inferior' cousins. And occasionally a Sybarite will come by one in a trading session or by chance even on the frontiers. The parts and ammunition for this weapon are also extremely rare. Furthermore most of the ammunition manufactured for it is local and is often very unreliable. This though does not put off Sybarites who see owning a Shuriken pistol as a symbol of power. The weapon itself although short ranged is deadly. It fires spinning disks which can slice through flesh or bone with ease.

Heavy Weapons

Heavy weapons are even larger and more heavy than basic or even assault weapons. They are generally more powerful and have a longer effective range. A heavy weapon though is so cumbersome and bulky that a fighter cannot move and shoot with it in the same turn. Most Raiding parties have one or two individuals who know how to operate and maintain these weapons. These individuals are referred to as Reapers and are generally muscular and larger that the average Dark Eldar Raider.

Splinter Cannon

Splinter Cannons are the weapon of choice amongst the many Dark Eldar Raiding parties on the frontier. It is easy to maintain and ammunition is the same as that used by the Splinter rifle. Most Raidiny parties start off with one of these backing them up. And many an aspiring Sybarites career has been cut short by a hail of splinters from this deadly weapon.

Examples do fall into the Merchants and weapon smiths hands who readily trade them for all the souls that they can get. The Dark Lance is powered by dark energy that it forms into a beam - its designed to destroy armoured targets. Its high energy recoil is reckoned unnecessary amongst most Raiders and as a result its not a favoured weapon.

Hallucinogen - Follow all the rules stated in Necromunda rulebook p59.

Special Rule

Gas Grenades - Gas grenades uses the WH40K blast template and follow all the rules stated in the Necromunda rulebook p59

Armour

The dark streets of Comorragh are dangerous with death lurking in its dark shadows. Sometimes martial skill and split second reactions are not enough. This is why the wise Sybarite and some of his followers invest in Armour and energy fields to protect them from the unexpected. After all it only takes one good shot or hooked knife in the dark and their climb to power is ended.

Mesh Armour

Mesh armour is fabric like material made from tiny cells of bonded thermoplas. The resultant mesh is very light and very strong. It can be fashioned into garments and protective body suits that are worn by the Kabels Warriors. Mesh absorbs physical blows or heat energy by becoming momentary solid absorbing the attacks energy. Repeated hits in the same place tend to erode this effect and reduce the protective value of mesh.

Special Rules

Save. A Raider wearing a suit of mesh armour has a basic save of 5 or 6 on a D6 against a wound

Shield

A shield is a metal plate with a small energy generator in the center of it. The energy is directed across the surface shield to absorb the energy of incoming blows.

Special Rules

Save. A Raider with a shield adds an additional +1 to any saves from shots to the front of the model or in hand to hand combat

Parry. A Raider with a shield can parry as described in the Necromunda rulebook

One hand. A Raider cannot use any two handed weapons and use a shield he needs one of his hands are free to wield it

Scale Armour

Scale armour is made out of rigid plates moulded to fit parts of the body that are fastened directly onto the Raiders body suit. A typical suit of scale armour covers the vital chest region, with separate plates for the arms and legs. This type of armour offers excellent protection against most anti-personnel weaponry but it is rather heavy.

Special Rules

Save. A Raider wearing a suit of scale armour has a basic save of 4,5 or 6 on a D6 against a wound

Heavy. Full scale armour is a heavy suit for Dark Eldar to wear. Any Raider wearing a suit of Scale armour halves his initiative - rounding up. For example, A Raider with I5 would count as I3.

Distort Field

A distort field is an shimmering energy field that covers the entire body and does away with the need for bulky body armour. Such devices are hard to come by and a symbol of status amongst Sybarites. It is powered from a small generator attached to the users belt. Although not as powerful as the fabled shadowfield used in the upper eschlens of Dark Eldar society it has saved many a up and coming Sybarite from career shortening accidents

Special Rules

Save. A Raider wearing a distort field has a unmodifiable save of 5 or 6 on a D6 against a wound

Shimmering. The distort field gives off a blue shimmering light when switched on. A Raider can only hide whilst he has the distort field switched off (the player must declare this). Whilst switched off the Raider cannot claim the unmodifiable save until he switches the field back on again.

Ammunition, Gunsights & Vision Device

The Traders and Weapon smiths of Commorragh sometimes have special ammunition pods to add the lethality of Raiders weapons. Also at times a Trader might be able to lay his hands on gunsights or vision devices which are rare and highly sought after on the frontiers.

Dum Dum bullets

Dum Dum bullets are hollowed out to add an extra punch to a Carters hit. Unfortunately little care is made over the procedure as it is mainly a Slaves weapon and the ammunition is extremely unreliable. They are many cases when Dum dums have exploded in a Carter injuring the user.

Special Rules

Dum dum bullets can only be used in a Carter pistol e it adds +1 to the weapons strength. However the weapon automatically fails its ammo roll and the weapon explodes with an automatically S4 hit on its user.

Spine pod

The Spine pod is special ammo for the Splinter Rifle. It carries less shots than a more normal Splinter pod but the advantage is that the splinters are more powerful. However the risk of deforming the barrel or overloading the reload matrix is greater than with a standard weapon pod.

Special Rules

Spine pods can only be fitted to a Splinter Rifle it adds +1 to the weapons strength. However the weapons ammo roll is reduced to 6+ if a Spine pod is fitted.

Soul Seeker Ammo

Soul Seeker ammo is made from captured Wraithbone looted from the bodies of the Craftworld Eldar. This creates a special kind of ammunition that actually seeks out the target. This ammo is very rare and a Sybarite is lucky if he can get his hands on one or two pods of Soul Seeker.

Special Rules

Soul Seeker can only be fitted to a Splinter rifles or Splinter pistols it adds +1 to the users BS and allows the user to re-roll any misses. However the Soul Seeker ammo is very rare and any ammo rolls taken automatically fail. Plus once the pod is empty it cannot be replaced until another pod turns up on a Trading session.

Heat Sight

A Heat sight registers a targets body heat - The enhanced image which appears in the sight makes the target very easy to pick out in cover. The Heat sight works well on a stable platform and is designed to fit on heavy, assault or basic weapon.

Special Rules

Stationary. A Raider must stay still for a turn to use the Heat Sight as movement disrupts the sensor.

Cancels Cover. A Stationary Raider using the heat sight may reduce the penalty applied for shooting at an enemy in cover by 1.

Single shot. The sight only works as long as the weapon fires a single shot. As the heat emitted from a barrel on sustained fire obscures the sight.

Overwatch. The Heat sensor gives no advantage on appearing or fleeing targets. The bonus does not apply if shooting in overwatch.

Soul visor

Soul Vision devices gives the user a different perspective on the world, everything is seen as colours with souls as bright golden lights - its often referred to as Deamon Eyes. Hiding from Raider using a Soul visor is impossible and darkness or sudden bright lights do not effect the user at all. There are downsides as after prolonged use of the Soul Visor can disrupts a users normal vision making him almost completely blind when the visor is taken off. Although this is not real disadvantage as long as the Raider wears the visor his perspective is thrown off and target appear further away than it is.

Special Rules

Cancels Cover. A Raider using the Soul Visor may shoot at an enemy in cover with no penalties.

Overwatch. The Soul Visor gives no advantage on appearing or fleeing targets. The bonus does not apply if shooting in overwatch.

Night Vision. The Soul Visor allows the user to see in a very different way than normal and to fight in total darkness. No negative modifiers are applied for a Raider wearing a Soul visor whilst fighting at night.

Blindness. Regardless if the Raider is injured or not at the end of the game roll a D6 on a roll of 6 the user is permanently blind when he is not using the visor and everything counts as long range.

Bionics & Bio-Implants

Commorragh presents bizarre mix advanced technology and bio-engineering. Although conditions on the Kabels frontiers are primitive by Eldar standards the bionics available are way in advanced of anything available to the crude Monkiegh. Indeed its hard to tell an Eldar bionic limb from the real thing. However this does not stop Sybarite from arming their slaves with crude implants designed to inflict nothing but pain on the user and any victim.

Bionic Eye

A bionic eye is a technical device that replaces a destroyed eye. The new bionic eyes photo cells offer protection against sudden flashes and even allows the user to see in the dark.

Special Rule

Replacement - The Bionic eye cancels out the effect of one serious eye injury. However any further eye injuries on that eye will destroy the bionic device.

Photosensitive - The Raider may re-roll a failed save against being blinded by a Photon flash. He may also see through smoke at a -1 to hit and in the dark he can add an addition 1D6 to his weapons range.

Bionic Leg

A bionic leg is stronger than a ordinary leg and can give the Raider an addition weapon in close quarter fighting.

Special Rule

Replacement - The Bionic leg cancels out the effect of one serious leg injury. However any further leg injuries on that leg will destroy the bionic device.

Kick - The Raider may gains a +1 Attack characteristic, if the Raider wins the combat he can make a special kick attack. A kick is resolved at +2 to the Raider Strength and inflicts D3 damage

Leap - A Raider equipped with two bionic legs may instead of shooting in his turn can leap 2D6 inches in any direction. It this takes him into hand-to-hand combat he counts as charging.

Bionic Arm

A bionic arm is an expensive device to get hold of - it does however offer the user amplified strength, grip and dexterity. Some arms even incorporate a small laser device that can give the Raider an additional attack in close combat.

Special Rule

Replacement - The Bionic arm cancels out the effect of one serious arm injury. However any further arm injuries on that arm will destroy the bionic device.

Characteristic Bonus - The Raider receives an additional +1 to his strength in hand-to-hand or throwing grenades. Also in hand-to-hand the Raider receives +1 to his initiative.

Laser Arm - Some arms incorporate a small laser device. This give the Raider an additional +1 to his Attack characteristic.

Bio -Booster

Works the same way as the Necromunda Bio-booster as described on p64 of the Necromunda rulebook.

Skull-Chip

Works the same way as the Necromunda Skull Chip as described on p67 of the Necromunda rulebook.

Combat Drugs

The Dark Eldar have access to a wide range of effective and potential combat drugs which can be dispensed from a neurally controlled device. They may be taken at the start of any of the players turns and allow the Sybarite any number of options from the list below.

a. May make a 12" charge move

b. +1 WS

c. +1 S

d. +1 I

e. re-roll one close combat dice

f. +1 A

Special Rule

Its a killer - For each choice on the chart above roll one dice - if you score any doubles the user takes a wound (if the user only has one wound he is removed from the game and will be out of action for the next game as well!) If you score any triples the drugs overload the Users system and the Raider keels over and is killed outright.

Miscellaneous Equipment

A smart Sybarite will equip his Raiding parties with more than just guns. Bio-scanners, re-breathers and performance boosting drugs all have their uses to keep his Raiders and himself alive to continue their climb to power.

Analyzers

An Analyzers is a large scanner which is used to check and repair the Raiders weapons and electronic equipment. Although it is portable it is considered to valuable by most Sybarites to risk damaging during the constant border skirmishes between Kabels. So it normal left back at the Raider lair and used by the Raider Reapers

Special Rule

An Analyzer uses all the special rules for an Necromunda Auto-repairer in the Necromunda rulebook p64

Bio-Scanner

Gruesome Talisman

Many Dark Eldar Raiders take to wearing talismans such as fingers, ears or eyes of those they have slain in combat - the Bloodied Claw are infamous for this. The effect can stop an opponent in his tracks or cause his to pause in mid-combat for a fatal second.

Special Rule

Gruesome - A Raider with a Gruesome talisman may force his opponent to re-roll one dice in hand-to-hand once per game. Both sides must accept the result of the re-rolled dice even if its higher than the original score

SkyBoard

Mainly used by Hellions of the Wych Kult several boards have found their way on the Kabels frontiers. The natural balence and reactions speed of a Dark Eldar make riding such a board an easy task to master given time. Unfortunately many Raiders don't give themselves such time.

Of course if the Rider is shot and wounded on the board and he is in the air the rider plummets to the ground and takes damage as described on p32 of the Necromunda rulebook

Save - Due to the speed of the board and the extra protection it can give the user. Any Raider riding a Skyboard can add an addition +1 to his saving throw.

Balence - To keep his balance on the board a Raider can only carry and use hand-to-hand combat weapons, grenades and pistols.

Soul Vase

A Soul Vase is sought after artifact on Commorragh as it contains many powerful old souls. Often these souls have been sealed in the Vase since the Eldar fall.
