HOUSE CAWDOR GANG LIST

GANG SPECIAL RULES

A House Divided: When a Cawdor gang is founded, it must be declared to follow either the Path of the Pious or the Path of the Fanatic. Depending on the choice made, the following rules are in effect:

  • The Path of the Pious - Pious Warriors: The leader of a Cawdor gang that follows the Path of the Pious must have the Pious Subtype. If they die, any Fighter with the Fanatic Subtype is ineligible to replace them. Additionally, a Fanatic Fighter may not be added to a Gang Roster if it would take the number of Fanatic Fighters in a gang above the number of Pious Fighters. - Without Number: When forming starting crews for a battle, at the end of the Choose Crews step of the Pre-battle Sequence, a Cawdor gang following the Path of the Pious may include one additional Prospect in their starting crew.

  • The Path of the Fanatic - Fanatic Warriors: The leader of a Cawdor gang that follows the Path of the Fanatic must have the Fanatic Subtype. If they die, any Fighter with the Pious Subtype is ineligible to replace them. Additionally, a Pious Fighter may not be added to a Gang Roster if it would take the number of Pious Fighters in a gang above the number of Fanatic Fighters. - Fanatical: A Cawdor gang that follows the Path of the Fanatic may re-roll Bottle checks of a natural 11 or 12.

PERSONAL EQUIPMENT

BOMB DELIVERY RATS

Exclusive A Fighter equipped with bomb delivery rats may perform the Prime Bomb Rat action.

Prime Bomb Rat (Single): Select a grenade with the Blast (3"/5") trait the Fighter is equipped with that is not Out of Ammo and make an Ammo (X+) test for them as if the grenade had been fired. Then, place a bomb delivery rat in base contact with this Fighter which then immediately activates. At the start of each round, after rolling for Priority but before the first model activates, all bomb delivery rats activate. When a bomb delivery rat activates, follow these instructions:

  • If they are within 9" of the Fighter who placed them, that Fighter’s controlling player may choose which direction they move in, otherwise they move in a direction dictated by the Scatter dice. When they activate they move 6" in a straight line, are not slowed by terrain, have the Clamber skill, can never fall or be pinned and automatically pass Agility tests to jump gaps of up to 2". If they come up to a gap larger than 2" or impassable terrain, they will stop. If they move within 1" of any model (other than the Fighter who placed them), they stop and may explode. Roll a D6. On a 2+, the grenade explodes, centre it on the bomb delivery rat. On a roll of a 1, the grenade fails to explode and the bomb delivery rat escapes. Regardless of the result, remove the bomb delivery rat from the battlefield. The bomb delivery rat may be targeted by close combat and ranged attacks. All attempts to hit them suffer a -1 modifier to the Hit roll. If the rat is Hit, roll a D6; on a 4+, the grenade explodes (see above), otherwise the bomb delivery rat escapes. Either way, remove them from the battlefield.

BOOK OF THE REDEMPTION

Exclusive The sacred words of the Book of the Redemption fill devotees of the Redemption with fervour. A Fighter equipped with a Book of the Redemption may perform the Words of Wrath action:

Words of Wrath (Single): This Fighter reads aloud from the Book of the Redemption. Until the End phase of this round, any friendly Fanatic Fighters that are within 6" of this Fighter when their activation starts may either re-roll the D6 when performing a Charge action, or may re-roll a single roll of a natural 1 when making a Hit roll.

CULT ICON

Exclusive Unlike other items of wargear, a gang may only purchase a single cult icon. This item must be carried by either a Leader or Champion. When a Fighter that is carrying a cult icon performs the Group Activation action, they may re-roll the Leadership check.

PYROMANTIC MANTLE

Exclusive Fanatical followers of the Redemption often wear elaborate dress and headgear that not only gives them a sinister and threatening silhouette, but that quite literally burns with the fires of the Emperor’s wrath! Any attacks made with close combat weapons carried by a Fighter with a pyromantic mantle gain the Blaze (5+) trait during that Fighter’s activation (note: if the weapon already has the Blaze (X) trait then this wargear has no effect).

MOUNTS

RIDGE WALKER

Exclusive A Fighter equipped with a Ridge Walker gains the Mounted and Agile Subtypes, applies a +41 modifier to any Agility test they make and sets their Movement characteristic to 8". When they perform a Dash action, they add 5" to their Movement characteristic instead of their Initiative.
