Hired Guns
We find the official rules for some of the types of Hired Guns to be problematic for several reasons, not least
of which is the economic realities of their costs as well as the fact that the actual impact of a Hired Gun on a gang's effectiveness is not correctly represented by
their credit cost.
Also of concern is the impracticality of having a long-term Hired Gun on a Gang
Roster due to the "one and done" nature of the rules as written. We use the following house
rules instead of what is published in Gang War II, except where noted.
Hive Scum
We don't allow customized Hive Scum in our Campaigns; we use Mercs for this sort of thing instead.
Hive Scum are hivers who will fight for anyone who offers them coin, but are too independent
to join up for the long haul. They hire out their services as they feel like it.
Unreliable dregs, loners, losers, outcasts, or worse, Hive Scum can nevertheless be useful to bolster
the ranks of a gang, particularly if a large battle is anticipated.
Most gangs may hire up to five Hive Scum at a time to fight in a single battle. Hive Scum each
cost D6 x 5 credits to
hire and will fight for one battle, but increase Gang Rating by 100 points each for that battle.
Hive Scum are not added to a gang's roster as they are not "in" the gang, and are not affected by the standard
Gang Composition restriction regarding total number of Gangers vs total number of non-Gangers.
Hive Scum come with some free equipment, never get any better, and don't suffer from Lasting Injury. If they go Out of Action a
D6 is rolled; they die on a roll of a 6 and are otherwise unharmed. The leave after the battle they were hired for, even
if they end up not participating in the battle. They are not to be depended upon.
Hive Scum Fighter Profile
Crew Rating Increase: This Hive Scum increases the Crew Rating of the gang they are fighting for by 100 points, rather than by their hiring cost in credits.
Unadvanceable: This Hive Scum cannot gain XP and cannot gain Advancements. Any XP they would gain is lost.
No Lasting Injury: This Hive Scum does not suffer Lasting Injury. If they are put Out of Action roll a D6; on the roll of a 6 they are dead otherwise they are removed from play and take no further part in the battle. If they die and were put Out of Action by an attack, the attacker gains 1 XP immediately.
Equipment: This Hive Scum may be equipped with up to 50 credits worth of Common items and up to 1 Rare item from the Trading Post at no cost.
They may be armed with up to three weapons. Only one weapon may have the Unwieldy Weapon Trait, and this counts as two weapons choices.
Any Limited or one-use equipment a Hive Scum has resets and is available for each battle.
Mercs
In our Campaign we have a category of Hired Guns known as Mercs that offer a long term hireling who
can stay with and grow with a gang. This provides for more modeling opportunities to differentiate gangs, narrative
"fluff" opportunities, and broader tactical options.
Mercs can be hired during the Buy Advancements and Recruit Hired Guns step of the Pre-battle Sequence, and
also during the Hire a Fighter step of the Post-battle Sequence (for the sake of convenience).
Mercs are hired by paying credits equal to the cost of any gear the Merc is equipped with, plus the cost of any Advancements.
A gang allowed by their Gang Composition
rules to hire Mercs may hire as many as they can afford, but unlike Hive Scum and Bounty Hunters, Mercs do count as a fighter in
the gang. Most gang lists have Gang Composition restrictions on how many Gangers must exist per non-Ganger in the gang,
and thus most gangs have a natural limit on how many Mercs they can have on their roster at any given time.
Mercs may be equipped with Common items and up to one Rare Item from the Trading Post when first introduced
to a Campaign, and this starting gear cannot later be changed. Mercs cannot have Limited items or one-use items
such as Filter Plugs. Mercs may not be equipped from a gang's own House Equipment list, they may not be equipped
with gear from a gang's Stash, and their gear cannot be removed from them and put into a gang's Stash unless they die
(in which case the normal rules for recovering a dead fighter's equipment are observed).
When a Merc is first introduced to a Campaign one Primary skill category and one Secondary skill
category are chosen for them, and they start with a single skill chosen from either category.
These selections are permanent.
A Merc who has the Fixer skill is able to take any Post-Battle Actions as if they were a Hero in the gang.
A Merc who has the Savvy Trader skill is able to take the Seek Rare Item and Sell Equipment Post-Battle Actions.
Mercs gain and spend Experience in the same ways as a Champion. Mercs are subject to Lasting Injuries.
Mercs can be Captured. If a Captured Merc is not rescued, the capturing gang
has the option to add the Merc to their own roster by paying their hiring cost.
At the end of a battle a Merc participated in, during the
Merc Upkeep
step of the Post-Battle Sequence each Merc who participated in the battle demands an upkeep payment of
10 credits plus 1D3 x 5 additional credits (roll for each Merc separately).
If a Merc's upkeep is paid the Merc remains on the gang's roster.
If a Merc's upkeep is not paid the Merc is retired from the gang;
the Merc will be deleted from the gang's roster during the Delete Retiring Fighters
step of the Post-Battle Sequence (and they take their gear with them). If the gang wants
the departing Merc to fight for them in a later battle, the Merc's hiring cost will have to be paid
once again.
Mercs are comparable to Champions in most regards and offer a good value for their credits initially, but
start to become a credit drain if retained for more than a few battles. However if a gang wants to retain a Mercs'
services permanently and has a Champion slot open, it is allowed to promote the Merc to become a Champion.
Mercs Fighter Profile
Provided below is the base fighter profile for a Merc.
Starting: One Primary and one Secondary skill category may be chosen for this Merc when they are first added to a Campaign. One skill
is selected at this time from either skill category and cannot be changed later.
Starting: When created, this Merc may be equipped with items from the Trading Post at full cost.
They may be armed with any weapon their model is carrying.
Mercs cannot have Limited items or one-use items.
The items selected will be the Merc's permanent equipment load out and cannot be changed later, unless they are hired onto a gang permanently by becoming a Champion.
Mercs Pool
In campaign mode an Arbitrator can decide to set up a pool of named Mercs available during a given Turf War.
If this option is taken the Arbitrator prepares fighter cards for available Mercs and makes them
and the models representing the Mercs available to the players. Any player who wants to introduce a custom Merc of their own should coordinate with
the Arbitrator. It is recommended to have at least a few Mercs available in the pool at all times; to facilitate this
the Arbitrator may need to re-stock the pool with new Mercs if their ranks get thinned out too much.
Using this option when a Merc is hired by a gang they are removed from the Merc pool;
when a Merc is retired from a gang they return to the Merc pool and become available to be hired again.
Mercs keep their current Characteristic Profile, XP, and Advancements when they return to the Merc Pool.
The Arbitrator has the perogative to make some "individualized" Hive Scum with variant profiles, advancements, and / or
interesting gear picks, but other players should have the opportunity to hire such individuals before the Arbitrator
themselves are allowed to do so with their own gang.
Seeej Sprawl Smash Mercs Pool
These are the named Mercs that exist in our campaign. Those who are not currently hired by a gang are available for hire.

Escher: This fighter is a Escher; any game effect referring to Eschers is applicable to them. This fighter may be equipped from the Escher Equipment List.
Step Aside: If the fighter is hit in close combat, the fighter can attempt
to step aside. Make an Initiative check for them. If the
check is passed, the attack misses. This skill can only be
used once per enemy in each round or close combat – in
other words, if an enemy makes more than one attack, the
fighter can only attempt to step aside from one of them.
Dodge: If this fighter suffers a wound from a ranged or close
combat attack, roll a D6. On a 6, the attack is dodged and
has no effect, otherwise continue to make a save roll as
normal. If the model dodges a weapon that uses a Blast marker or
Flame template, a roll of 6 does not automatically cancel
the attack; instead it allows the fighter to move up to 2''
before seeing whether they are hit (not through obstructions or within 1'' of an enemy fighter).

Bounty Hunters
Bounties
are described in the Campaign document.
We use Bounty Hunters in our campaign but with major modifications, as described below. Our version
is very literally a hunter of bounties. But while they can boost a gang's effectiveness for a battle,
bad things happen if the Bounty Hunter doesn't have at least one scalp or captive to turn in by the end
of the battle.
If the Bounty Hunter Hiring Conditions described below are met, a single Bounty Hunter may be hired for that battle in the
Choose Crews
step of the Pre-battle Sequence
(not the Buy Advancements and Recruit Hired Guns step as in the official rules).
Bounty Hunter Hiring Conditions
A gang does not spend credits to hire a Bounty Hunter but a Bounty Hunter increases the Gang Rating by 400 points.
Bounty Hunters gain an additional action each activation (usually three actions rather than two).
If a Bounty Hunter is put Out of Action roll a D6; on the roll of a 6 they are dead otherwise they are removed from play and take no further part in the battle.
Bounty Hunters do not gain Experience Points and cannot gain Advancements. If they die and were put Out of Action by an attack, the attacker gains 3 XP immediately.
When a opposing fighter who has a Bounty on them goes Out of Action while within 6" of a Bounty Hunter, the controlling player may choose to have the
Bounty Hunter take the opposing fighter Captive instead of making a Lasting Injury roll. If they do so, the Bounty Hunter drags their captive away and is removed from play.
In a multiplayer battle with three or more gangs, if there are two or more Bounty Hunters on rival gangs who are within 6" and want to use this ability they interfere with each other and none of them can use the ability.
Bounty Hunters depart in the Wrap Up step of the Post-Battle Sequence,
taking all of their gear with them. If any opposing fighters who have a Bounty on their head died or were
Captured during the battle, the Bounty Hunter takes all of them in (dead or alive) for the prices on their head(s).
Any Captured fighters who this happens to are removed from their gang's roster without opportunity for rescue (Skinblades,
Guilder Contracts, Escape Artist, and similar may still save them).
Bounty Hunters have three skills, which can be chosen from any skill category. However, skills that work in
the Pre-Battle Sequence or
the Post-Battle Sequence such as Connected, Fixer, and Savvy Trader are ineffectual as Bounty Hunters join and
depart the gang before such skills would be relevant.
Bounty Hunters may be equipped with up to 250 credits worth of any items from any section of the Trading Post at no cost;
these selections cannot be changed later. They may be armed with any weapon their model is carrying. Any Limited or one-use
equipment a Bounty Hunter has resets and is available for each battle.
If no opposing fighters with a Bounty on their head died or got Captured during the battle, during the
Wrap Up step of the Post-Battle Sequence the Bounty Hunter
demands to be paid 50 plus 3d6 x 5 credits immediately.
If the gang cannot pay the full amount or chooses not to pay, the gang loses 2D3 Reputation immediately.
Bounty Hunters Fighter Profiles
To represent the variety of Bounty Hunters, and to keep each one encountered a challenge,
several different base Characteristics Profiles are provided. A given Bounty Hunter is based on
one of the possible Characteristics Profiles and customized from there.
Regardless of which Characteristics Profile is chosen, all Bounty Hunters have the following Special rules.
Crew Rating Increase: This Bounty Hunter increases the Crew Rating of the gang they are fighting for by 400 points, rather than by their hiring cost of 0 credits.
Unadvanceable: This Bounty Hunter cannot gain XP and cannot gain Advancements.
No Lasting Injury: This Bounty Hunter does not suffer Lasting Injury. If they are put Out of Action roll a D6; on the roll of a 6 they are dead otherwise they are removed from play and take no further part in the battle. If they die and were put Out of Action by an attack, the attacker gains 3 XP immediately.
Skills: When this Bounty Hunter is added to a Campaign three Skills are chosen for them from any category; these selections cannot be changed later.
Equipment: This Bounty Hunter may be equipped with up to 250 credits worth of any items from any section of the Trading Post at no cost; these selections cannot be changed later.
They may be armed with any weapon their model is carrying. Any Limited or one-use equipment a Bounty Hunter has resets and is available for each battle.
Take Captive: When an opposing fighter who has a Bounty on them goes Out of Action while within 6'' of this Bounty Hunter,
the controlling player may choose to have the Bounty Hunter Capture the opposing fighter instead of making a
Lasting Injury roll. If they do so, the opposing fighter is Captured automatically, the Bounty Hunter drags their
captive away, and both are removed from the battlefield. This ability may not be used if this Bounty Hunter is
Seriously Injured.
Bounty Hunters Pool
In campaign mode an Arbitrator can decide to set up a pool of named Bounty Hunters available during a given Turf War.
If this option is taken the Arbitrator prepares fighter cards for a handful of available Bounty Hunters and makes the list
and the models available to the players. Any player who wants to introduce a custom Bounty Hunter of their own should
coordinate with the Arbitrator. It is recommended to have at least a couple of Bounty Hunters available in the pool at all
times; to facilitate this the Arbitrator may need to re-stock the pool with new Bounty Hunters if one dies.
Using this option, when a Bounty Hunters is hired by a gang they are removed from the Bounty Hunters pool;
after each battle in which they participate a Bounty Hunter returns to the Bounty Hunters pool
and is available to be hired again.
The Arbitrator has the perogative to make some "individualized" Bounty Hunters, but other players should have the opportunity
to hire such individuals before the Arbitrator themselves are allowed to do so with their own gang.
Bounty Hunters are meant to be scary, dangerous individuals. When an opposing gang employs a Bounty Hunter's services
against a player, it should be a cause of worry. They should also be interesting, and "cool". To that end, Arbitrators
are encouraged to come up with memorable Bounty Hunters for the Bounty Hunter Pool. However the Bounty Hunters in the Pool
should be relatively balanced with each other; care should be taken to avoid making some very strong and others weak and ineffective.

These are the named Bounty Hunters that exist in our campaign. Those who are not currently hired by a gang are available for hire.

Headbutt (Simple): Pick an Engaged enemy fighter. This fighter rolls a D6 and the chosen enemy fighter rolls a
D3, then each fighter adds their current Toughness to their results.
If this fighter's result is higher, the enemy fighter is momentarily staggered
and cannot make Reaction attacks the next time they are attacked in close combat this turn.
If this fighter's result is lower, their turn ends immediately.
In the case of a tie, nothing happens and this fighter's turn resumes.

Combat Master: This fighter never suffers penalties to their hit rolls for
interference, can always grant assists regardless of
how many enemy fighters they are engaged with, and is considered to have a

Step Aside: If the fighter is hit in close combat, the fighter can attempt
to step aside. Make an Initiative check for them. If the

used once per enemy in each round or close combat – in
other words, if an enemy makes more than one attack, the
fighter can only attempt to step aside from one of them.
Dodge: If this fighter suffers a wound from a ranged or close
combat attack, roll a D6. On a 6, the attack is dodged and
has no effect, otherwise continue to make a save roll as
normal. If the model dodges a weapon that uses a Blast marker or
Flame template, a roll of 6 does not automatically cancel
the attack; instead it allows the fighter to move up to 2''
before seeing whether they are hit (not through obstructions or within 1'' of an enemy fighter).
Armor: Hazard Suit

No Lasting Injury: This Bounty Hunter does not suffer Lasting Injury. If they are put Out of Action roll a D6; on the roll of a 6 they are dead otherwise they are removed from play and take no further part in the battle. If they die and were put Out of Action by an attack, the attacker gains 3 XP immediately.
Take Captive: When an opposing fighter who has a Bounty on them goes Out of Action while within 6'' of this Bounty Hunter,
the controlling player may choose to have the Bounty Hunter Capture the opposing fighter instead of making a
Lasting Injury roll. If they do so, the opposing fighter is Captured automatically, the Bounty Hunter drags their
captive away, and both are removed from the battlefield. This ability may not be used if this Bounty Hunter is
Seriously Injured.
Iron Will: This fighter's gang subtracts 1 from the result of any Bottle rolls while this fighter is on the battlefield and not Seriously Injured.
True Grit: When making an Injury roll for the fighter, roll one less
Injury dice (for example, a Damage 2 weapon would roll
one dice). Against attacks with Damage 1 roll two dice and
the player controlling the fighter with True Grit then
chooses one to discard before resolving the dice effects.
Unstoppable: In the End Phase immediately after Recovery tests are made,
you may discard one Flesh Wound that this fighter has suffered.

Hiring Criteria: Deacon Shrill does not go after fighters with Bounties on them; instead he hunts the unclean and the heretical (Genestealer Cultists, Chaos Cultists, Beastmen, or Ratskins).
In the Invite Dramatis Personae step of the Pre-Battle Sequence, if an opposing gang's Crew includes at least one fighter
of that type and your own gang does not and also has at least 10 Reputation, you may add Deacon Shrill to your Crew.
In the Resolve Dramatis Personae step of the Post-Battle Sequence, if at least one fighter of the sort Deacon Shrill hunts
on an opposing gang's Crew did not get put Out of Action during the battle, your gang loses 3D3 Reputation immediately.
Crew Rating Increase: This Dramatis Personae increases the Crew Rating of the gang they are fighting for by 425 points, rather than by their hiring cost of 0 credits.
Unadvanceable: This Dramatis Personae cannot gain XP and cannot gain Advancements.
No Lasting Injury: This Dramatis Personae does not suffer Lasting Injury. If they are put Out of Action roll a D6; on the roll of a 6 they are dead otherwise they are removed from play and take no further part in the battle. If they die and were put Out of Action by an attack, the attacker gains 3 XP immediately.
Commanding Presence: If a group is activated, and this fighter is chosen to lead
the group, it can include one more fighter than normal (ie,
a Champion could activate two other fighters instead of
one, or a Leader could activate three, and other types of fighters may activate one other fighter).
Inspirational: If a friendly fighter within 12'' of this fighter fails a Cool
check, make a Leadership check for this fighter. If it
passes, the Cool check is also treated as having been
passed.
Fearsome: If an enemy attempts to Engage this fighter,
they must make a Willpower check. If the check is failed
they stop 1'' away from this fighter, cannot Engage,
and their action ends immediately.
Counter-Charge: If this fighter is Active and Readied, when an enemy fighter gets into base to base contact with a friendly fighter
within 6'' of this fighter (by any means) this fighter may interrupt that fighter's action to Counter-Charge.
This fighter loses their Ready marker, then immediately makes a Charge action targeting
the enemy fighter. If the enemy fighter is Seriously Injured or taken Out of Action by this fighter's Charge
the enemy fighter's turn ends immediately, otherwise
the enemy fighter's action resumes from the point it was interrupted.
Berserker: When this fighter uses the Charge action, if they declare an opposing fighter in their line of sight as their target
and can move in an unobstructed straight line to that target,
they may take a Double Move instead of a Standard Move + D3''.
Additionally, if this fighter successfully engages their target immediately discard one Flesh Wound from this fighter's card.

they are within 6" and line of sight to the fighter carrying this item.

Wargear: Frenzon stash
When an Active or Pinned fighter with a frenzon stash is activated, they may use their frenzon stash as a free action.
The fighter can make a free Stand Up action if Pinned. Until the end of the round the fighter automatically passes
any Cool or Willpower check they are required to make, and treat the Fight (Basic) action as a Fight (Simple) action.
At the start of the End phase roll a D6; on a natural 1 the fighter takes a Flesh Wound.
If a fighter uses a frenzon stash during a battle,
the frenzon stash is deleted from their fighter card when the battle
ends.

treat Fight as a Simple action. At start of End phase roll D6; on a natural 1 take a Flesh Wound. If used, delete at end of battle.
Hangers-on
Hangers-on grant a gang certain advantages, such as rogue docs who can save a grieviously injured gang member, or
an ammojack who keeps a gangs' weapons in tip top shape. Usually, hangers-on do not participate in battles
with a gang, but in some cases when a gang's own Home Turf is under attack hangers-on may be present and participate,
as described in Gang War II.
100 credits
If a gang has an Ammojack, its weapons are regularly serviced and their ammo stocks are carefully maintained. As
such, fighters from the gang can re-roll any Ammo checks that roll a natural 1. The Ammojack does not have to take
part in the battle for the gang to receive this bonus, but if they are not available for the battle (for example if they are In
Recovery or have been Captured), the bonus does not apply.
75 credits
If the gang is the attacker in a scenario that includes an objective to destroy, or trapped loot boxes to capture,
the Demolitionist may join the gang's Crew for that scenario.
50 credits
When a gang with Dome Runner gains or steals Turf they may add 2 for each available Dome Runner
to the roll to determine whether the gang gains a new Special Territory.
100 credits
If a gang has a Ratskin Guide, during the Determine Scenario step of the Pre-Battle Sequence if a scenario would be randomly determined
(rather than the player with the higher or lower rating choosing or some other method of selecting the scenario),
the gang's controlling player chooses which scripted scenario to play from the scripted scenario chart; if there is an attacker and a defender
in the selected scenario the gang is the attacker. If more than one gang has a Ratskin Guide, they cancel one another out and none of the gangs
who have one gain any benefit for the current battle.
50 credits
During the Post-battle Sequence a Rogue Doc may treat
one member of the gang who has suffered a Critical Injury, without a hero of the gang having to escort
the Critically Injured fighter to the doctor. Use the Medical Escort resolution chart. This costs the gang no credits.
100 credits
Orlock, Goliath, and Van Saar gangs may hire a Squat Demolitionist as a Hangers-on. A gang may have either a Squat Demolitionist or a Demolitionist, not both.
If a gang has a Squat Demolitionist on retainer, the gang may call upon them for assistance when something needs to be blown up or defused.
