Quick Reference
Only what this roster actually needs at the table — this gang's special rules and the Traits on its current loadouts. Round/action rules condensed from the community-made Necromunda 2026 Quick Reference Sheet (u/JP_miniatures); Trait/Condition wording matches this site's own Core Rulebook transcription.
Gang Special Rules
Cult Uprising: This gang's Fighters apply a +1 modifier to the dice roll when attempting to perform the Coup de Grâce action.
Cult Icon (carried by Magus Yevrin Thal): When performing the Group Activation action, the carrier may re-roll the Leadership check.
Extra Arm (Gauge-Brood Ilyx & Vey Second-Kin): Braced Shot is a Single action instead of Double, four weapon slots instead of three, and always armed with a free clawed arm (Additional Attacks (1), Melee, Rending (6+)) that doesn't use a slot.
| Trait | Effect |
|---|---|
| Additional Attacks (X) | Grants X extra close combat attacks alongside the model's normal Attacks, on top of Primary/Secondary weapon attacks. |
| Ammo (X+) | After firing, roll a D6 — on X or more, ammo remains; otherwise the weapon becomes Out of Ammo. |
| Backstab | +1 Strength if the target is Engaged with more than one model. |
| Blast (X″) | Places an X″ Blast marker on the target; hits any model whose base is at least partially under it. |
| Breaching (X+) | If the Wound roll is X or more, no Armour save can be made. |
| Concussive (X+) | If the Wound roll is X or more, the target's Initiative is reduced by 1 until the end of their next activation. |
| Heavy | Ranged: only fired via the Braced Shot action. Melee: may not be selected as (or used alongside) a Secondary weapon. |
| Knockback (X+) | On a Hit roll of X or more, the target is moved 1″ directly away from the attacker. |
| Light | May be used as Primary or Secondary in close combat, but only one attack regardless of Attacks/skills/other traits. |
| Limited | Once Out of Ammo, this weapon cannot be reloaded for the rest of the battle. |
| Melee | Used for attacks while Engaged. |
| Parry | When used as Primary or Secondary in a fight, +1 Sv (doesn’t stack with a second Parry weapon). |
| Rapid Fire (X) | Roll up to X Firepower dice when shooting — more hits, at the risk of Out of Ammo/jamming. |
| Rending (X+) | On an X+ Wound roll, AP is improved by 1 for that attack. |
| Shred (X+) | On an X+ Wound roll, +1 Lethality for that attack. |
| Toxin (X+) | Instead of comparing Strength to Toughness, the target is Wounded on a roll of X or more. |
Game Flow at a Glance
Universal rules, same for every gang.
Round Structure
1. Priority Phase: Ready all models with a marker; roll D6 for Priority (draw — whoever didn’t have it last round wins).
2. Action Phase: Starting with the player holding Priority, take turns activating models. Each activation gets 2 actions (1 if Suppressed).
3. End Phase: Bottle check if ≥1 model went Out of Action this round (Ld check vs your gang’s highest Ld; fail = remove 1 model, remove 2 if the roll was a 12). Check for Victory once a third of a gang is Out of Action. Resolve Reinforcements.
Checks & Tests
WS / BS / Sv: D6 ≥ characteristic.
Ld / Cl / Wil / Int: 2D6 ≤ characteristic.
Agility check: D6 ≥ 4.
Base contact: within 1″.
Interactive Actions
Coup de Grâce (Single): Against a Seriously Injured model within 1″; both roll D6 + Strength — if the attacker’s total is higher, the target goes Out of Action. This gang adds +1 to that roll (Cult Uprising).
Treat Ally (Single): A Seriously Injured friendly model within 1″ immediately makes a Recovery test.
Movement Actions
Move (Single): up to M″.
Dash (Double): up to M+I″.
Engage (Single): up to D6″ towards an enemy; end within 1″ = free Fight or Coup de Grâce.
Charge (Double): up to M+D6″ towards an enemy; end within 1″ = free Fight or Coup de Grâce, plus +1 Attack and +2 Initiative this activation.
Shooting
Shoot (Single): Declare target in LoS → measure range → roll to Hit (≥BS, natural 6 always hits, 1 always fails; -1 if target Seriously Injured; random allocation if target is Engaged) → Suppress on a Hit → resolve Wound/Save/Damage.
Aimed Shot (Double): As Shoot, +1 to Hit.
Braced Shot (Double, Single for Extra Arm Fighters): Required to fire a Heavy weapon; the Fighter cannot move this activation.
Reload (Single): Clears Out of Ammo on a ranged weapon.
Close Combat
Fight (Double): Choose Primary (+Secondary if it has Melee/Light) → Attacks: Primary = Attacks characteristic (+1 if charged), Secondary = 1, other engaged models = 1 with Primary only → Initiative order (Unwieldy sets I to 1; +2 I if charged) → roll to Hit (≥WS, natural 6 always hits, 1 always fails; -1 if no LoS before charging/engaging, +1 if a friend is also engaged, -1 if a second enemy is also engaged) → resolve Wound/Save/Damage → consolidate up to I″ if all engaged enemies are down.
