VENATOR GANG LIST

The following pages contain the Venator gang list.

GANG SPECIAL RULES

Claiming Bounties: If during the Receive Rewards step of the Post-battle Sequence a Venator gang has taken at least three enemy Fighters Out of Action during the battle, they add 20 credits to their Stash.

Starting Skills: When added to a Gang Roster, all Venator Leaders and Champions may select one skill from one of their Primary Skill Sets.

Skill Access: When creating a Venator gang, pick any four Skill Sets from the Necromunda Skirmish: Core Rulebook page 150. Rank them from 1 to 4, with 1 being the Skill Set that most embodies the way you envisage the band operating as a team. Each model’s access to Skill Sets is then determined by referring to the table below - this should be noted down separately:

Fighter Primary Secondary
Venator Hunt Leader 1 and 2 3 and 4
Venator Hunt Champion 1 and 2 3
Venator Specialist 1 2 and 3

NEW SUBTYPE: OGRYN

Often used for menial and physically demanding jobs, Ogryns are found throughout the underhive. With their prodigious strength, they make very effective Venators, though they often need someone else to direct them.

All Ogryns are subject to the following rule:

Starting Skills: In addition to any other skills, all Ogryns have the Juggernaut skill.

NEW SUBTYPE: RATLING

As one of the recognised stable abhuman strains, Ratlings often find work as part of Venator gangs.

All Ratlings are subject to the following rules:

Sniping: This Fighter may re-roll Hit rolls of a natural 1 when performing an Aimed Shot action.

Sneaking: This Fighter always counts as being in a weapon’s Long Range when calculating the bonus for cover.

NEW SUBTYPE: BEASTMAN

Beastmen are perhaps the most savage of the Necromunda-sanctioned abhumans, often serving as Bounty Hunters or in underhive kill squads.

All Beastmen are subject to the following rule:

Feral Warriors: Beastmen Fighters increase their Attacks Characteristic by 1 while they are Injured.

GANG LEGACY

Most Fighters in a Venator gang have access to a Gang Legacy as detailed in their Fighter datasheet. A Fighter with a Gang Legacy may purchase weapons and wargear from their gang’s Equipment List when added to a gang (they may not purchase additional weapons from this list during the Post-cycle Sequence):

Gang Legacy Equipment List Reference
Cawdor House Cawdor Equipment List Page 13
Delaque House Delaque Equipment List Page 28
Escher House Escher Equipment List Page 40
Goliath House Goliath Equipment List Page 52
Orlock House Orlock Equipment List Page 64
Van Saar House Van Saar Equipment List Page 76
Ironhead Squat Ironhead Squat Equipment List Necromunda Skirmish: Gangs of the Outlands
Ogryn Free Ogryn Equipment List Necromunda Skirmish: Gangs of the Outlands

A Venator Hunt Leader or Venator Hunt Champion may purchase Pets associated with their Gang Legacy when added to a Gang Roster. For example, a Venator Hunt Leader with a Goliath Gang Legacy may purchase a Sumpkroc.

There is no restriction on differing Gang Legacies within a gang - a Venator gang may contain as many or as few as you wish. However, each Fighter may only originate from one gang!
