Weapon Descriptions

Close Combat Weapons


 Hunting Lance

Cost:	10

Availability:  Common

Hunting Lances, more commonly referred to as “bang sticks” are used by prospectors to subdue large snakes and spiders. The lance is simply a long pole with an explosive tip. When the weapon strikes, the charge detonates. The weapon can only be used once, but that is usually enough. The lance may only be used in the first round of close combat and is discarded in later rounds, regardless of whether or not the bearer hit.

Power Blades

Cost:  35+2d6(1), 50+3d6(2)  

Availability:  Rare

Power blades are short, dagger-like blades attached under the bearer’s forearms. Some gangers wear a single blade while others prefer two. If two Power Blades are worn the bearer receives an additional attack die and may parry twice in close combat.

Stun Lance

Cost:  45 + 2d6

Availability:  Rare

Stun Lances are used by Ratskins and other hunters in the underhive for stalking wild game. The long reach and power of the lance is excellent for keeping giant snakes and rats beyond arms length. The Stun Lance incorporates a tiny capacitor the releases a burst of energy everytime the lance strikes. This is not enough to kill, but is sufficient to render a human unconscious for a short period. Models struck by a Stun Lance must roll d6, if the number is greater then their strength value the model is rendered unconscious. The model is considered “out of action” for the remainder of the game. Afterward, the model makes a full recovery, no roll on the serious injuries chart is required. Stun Lances require two hands to use, so no other close combat weapon may be used. The lance does allow the user to one parry.
