The noise of the crowd was audible now, this close to the surface. They
hummed and chattered, their excitement evident even to a human. It was
getting light too. Some faint light and warmth percolated into this level,
just enough to reflect off the pale skin of your hand or cast a slight
shadow on the rough stone wall. The human revelled in it. He had never
felt so alive, not for so long. The blood coursed through his body and he
felt stronger. He had armour. A loose-fitting hide jacket, raw and furry.
He had weapons. A long, curved dagger he was warned not to touch
unsheathed, and a heavy spear with which he supported himself as he
marched slowly on.
Suddenly there was a crash and thunder to his left. His head turned to see
a huge, hulking silhouette and gnashing. yellow teeth. With a rush he
thought it was all over. For a moment. Then he pushed himself upright again
and wandered toward the caged animal. A translucent barrier held them
apart, the great dog still reared up over him with its full weight against it,
braying and snapping the air. He stared at its manic face.
The voice interrupted his quiet contemplation; the friendly, sensible voice:
Come on it said, Theyre waiting. Remembering himself he turned and
walked onward, toward the warmth and light. Ten minutes later he would
emerge dazzled from the end of the tunnel, overawed by cheers and
shouting. Then, finally, it would indeed be over.

Wych Cult
Wych Cult is a game set amid the sinister gladiatorial industry necessary to the Dark Eldar. Every day in the
alien capital of Commorragh the Dark Eldar gather to watch as thousands are sacrificed in violent drama; a vain
effort to satiate an unholy thirst. You take control of a Wych Cult, an organisation charged with putting on
these bloody spectacles. You must stage mass executions, one-on-one duels, and deadly races, competing to
offer the bloodlust of your new kin the maximum satisfaction. The game is designed to make small scale
combat a dynamic and tense battle of wits that can draw in the interest of all the participants in a given
campaign. Such campaigns, or Dynasties, allow Cults to develop over time, rearing prize gladiators and
importing the most exotic slaves, beasts, and machinery to add to the carnage.
Most players will be used to larger scale games, so I feel the need to briefly justify some of the more noticeable
departures this game makes. First and foremost, it is extremely complex by comparison. Part of this is by
necessity; if larger games maintain variety by allowing simpler procedures to be repeated across different
formations within an army, a potentially one-on-one combat needs to offer variation and creativity elsewhere.
But Wych Cult goes further. The interaction between card choice, weapon modifiers, gladiator stats, and
environmental factors, for instance, makes predicting combat or even accessing the value of a particular weapon
very difficult to do. This is a conscious design decision intended to recreate the intellectual side of a duel; not
knowing quite how sharp that knife is until it has bitten your flesh, or suddenly bludgeoning an opponent with
the butt of an axe whilst they are staring at the shiny sharp end. Experience is the best way to hone your
gladiatorial skills.
Yet this complexity means that a player starting out should not subject themself to the entire rulebook. I
recommend reading the basic rules before stopping and choosing a model you would like to be your first
gladiator. This should be a character you imagine doing well in the combat arena; having enough guile, poise,
or ferocity to entertain the crowd. Then dip into the advanced rules sections to find out how this gladiator
works, their special rules, stats, equipment, and so forth. Play some games with this gladiator; this is the best
way to learn about other combinations and figure out how you want to fight. After half a dozen games most of
the additional material hopefully will have been encountered.
The rules are heavily indebted to many Games Workshop games. I am not intending to present my system as
unique or original, but shamelessly copy the games I love in order to create a game around the kind of combat I
had the urge to play. The systems employed have been honed to fit together, even if they seem a rather eclectic
mix! Wych Cult provides a set of rules for a kind of combat not explored before, but which I hope is a natural
addition to the Warhammer 40 000 universe. Finally, I have at least attempted to emulate the production values
of Games Workshop too, from the presentation of this book to the long hours dedicated to balancing the game.

The Basics
Profiles:
Each model you will use in the arena has a profile. This is a sheet with all the information about that gladiator
on it. This will include their name, stat line and skills, along with their current equipment, injuries and Prestige
value. If playing as part of a Dynasty, an electronic summary of each gladiators Profile is recommended to
make bookkeeping easier between games.
Name whenever a player hires a gladiator they must choose a unique name for them to head their Profile.
Stat line the stat line includes the following elements:
Weapon Skill (WS) a gladiator with higher Weapon Skill is not only better at handling weapons of
finesse but their precise aim will ensure each blow lands precisely where they want it. Weapon Skill may
never fall below 1.
Ballistic Skill (BS) those more proficient with ranged weapons will have higher Ballistic Skill. It can
never be reduced to less than 1.
Strength (S) an indication of how strong a gladiator is, used for a number of purposes including
calculating the damage caused by some of the less subtle close combat attacks. As a vital statistic, a
gladiator becomes Incapacitated if their Strength is ever reduced to 0 or less.
Toughness (T) the measure of how resilient a gladiator is and another vital statistic that Incapacitates
them if ever reduced to 0 or less.
Agility (A) important for determining a gladiators speed, ability to jump obstacles, and so on, a
gladiator with 0 Agility is rendered Immobile. Agility may not fall below 0.
Presence (P) a gladiator may face mental as well as physical challenges for which a good Presence is
required. These could range from facing down an opponent to whipping up the crowd in your favour.
Presence may not be reduced to less than 0.
No stat may ever exceed 9.
Secondary characteristics a gladiator also has two secondary characteristics not part of the stat line,
Readiness (R) and Speed (Sp), which fluctuate often during a game. These have a minimum value of 0. A
gladiators maximum Speed will be dictated by their Agility and the equipment they are carrying, as described
below. A gladiators maximum Readiness is 6.
Prestige the Profile includes an indication of the gladiators current Prestige, which will change during each
game. This is an indication of the gladiators fame and reputation, important to their Cult to draw in larger
audiences or demand greater prizes for guest appearances.
Status Screen this is an area of the Profile marked out with sections representing each area on the Body Chart
appropriate to that gladiator. For humanoids this will be right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, torso, and head.
The card for each piece of equipment currently equipped is placed in the appropriate area, clearly visible to all.
The Status Screen also has space for three face-down cards, the Engage, Action and Defence card, described
below.
Medical Record the place where all Serious Injuries are recorded and medical effect counters stored.
Pack this is the area on the profile where all unequipped item cards are stored. Next to the Pack will be a note
of the Weight carried.
Discard Pile each gladiator has their own Discard Pile, where their equipment cards are put face-down if
discarded.

Weight:
Each item has a Weight value included on the card. A gladiator can carry unimpeded a Weight of up to 50xS.
If a gladiator exceeds this limit, they suffer -1 Agility, plus a further -1 Agility for each full 50 Weight they
exceed the limit by. Remember that Agility cannot fall below 1, no matter the modifier. No gladiator can ever
carry more than 100xS, though they never have to discard equipment as a result of losing Strength. The total
Weight carried is the aggregate of every item in the Pack and on the Status Screen.
Characteristic Tests:
Sometimes the rules will require a gladiator to take a characteristic test, such as a Strength test or an Agility test.
Unless otherwise stated, to do this one simply rolls a D6 and compares it with the gladiators relevant
characteristic. If the result is equal to or less than the characteristic the test is passed, if it is greater the test has
failed. An unmodified roll of a 1 on the D6 will always pass regardless of modifiers, whilst an unmodified 6
will always fail. No roll is made for characteristics at 0; any test required of these automatically fails.
Direction, Line of Sight, and Arcs:
Each gladiator model must have a clear indication of the way it is facing with a mark on the base. Directly
opposite this, there should be a mark on the rearmost point of the base. In addition, a gladiators base needs four
other markings on it, dividing its surroundings into four arcs of 90 when lines are traced between them. These
arcs will be referred to in later rules. The game uses real line of sight, meaning that whenever line of sight is
required a player will have to take a models eye view of the arena. Unless otherwise stated, a gladiator does
not have line of sight from their rear arc.
Prone:
When a gladiator is placed Prone, lay them down facing upwards and immediately reduce their Readiness to 0.
In this state a gladiators Agility counts as 1 and they are Immobile. A gladiator will stop being Prone
automatically when next activated (see page 13).
Stunned:
A Stunned gladiator cannot perform any action and is Immobile. Their Readiness is reduced to 0, and their WS,
BS, A and P count as 1. A gladiator remains Stunned until the end of their next activation, or the beginning of
that activation, if they became Stunned whilst activated.
Immobile:
Immobile gladiators are always at Speed 0 and cannot gain Speed by any means. They cannot Engage (see page
16) during their own activation.
Incapacitated:
A gladiator reduced to 0 S or T (not including temporary bonuses) is Incapacitated. Place all equipment on their
Status Screen and in their Pack on their Discard Pile and remove the model from the game.

Damage
Damage Points (DPs) are the means by which you will win or lose a game, as they weaken, Incapacitate, or just
instantly kill the gladiators who suffer them.
Body Charts:
Each Damage Point will affect one part of the targets body, as determined by rolling on the appropriate body
chart. Most gladiators are humanoid, and so use the chart shown below, although some will use a different
chart, as described in Advanced Rules.
Humanoid body chart:
2D6 score:
2
3-4
5
6-8
9
10-11
12

Body part:
Head
Left arm
Left leg
Torso
Right leg
Right arm
Head

Damage Points sustained from sources in the right arc get +1 to rolls on the chart, whilst those from sources in
the left arc get -1.
Armour:
Now the target must try and make an Armour Save if possible. The
Armour Save available depends on the items equipped to that body
part (see page 28). To make an Armour Save, simply roll a D6 and
compare it to the Armour value. The save succeeds if the scores
equals or exceeds the Armour value being used. A successful save
prevents a Damage Point from causing an injury.
Note that many weapons will modify the dice roll, potentially
rendering Armour useless. For example, a weapon with a -3 Armour
Save modifier will reduce a 4+ Armour value to 7+, making it
impossible to pass the save.

Injuries:
For each unsaved Damage Point, roll a D6 on the relevant injury table. This dice may by modified by weapons
and so on, so totals of 7 or more are achievable. No injury roll, however, may be reduced to less than 1. The
tables corresponding to the Humanoid Body Chart are as follows:

10

Left Arm:
Head:
1 Damaged Headgear randomly determine a
single item equipped to the head and place it in the
Discard Pile. If the gladiator has no headgear then
treat this result as Head Wound.
2 Head Wound this results in Loss of Blood.
3-4 Dazed the gladiator is Stunned and must
pass a Presence test to avoid being placed Prone.
5 Enucleation Serious Injury. This Serious
Injury is unique in that it can be sustained twice.
Each Enucleation results in Loss of Blood. The
first time this injury is sustained reduce the
gladiators WS, BS and A by 1. The second
Enucleation reduces WS, BS and A by a further 2.
Further Enucleations are treated as Head Wounds.
6 Brained Serious Injury. The gladiators WS,
BS, S, T and A are halved (rounding down). The
gladiator is placed Prone and is Stunned. In
addition, the gladiator suffers a Head Wound.
7+ Decapitated reduce S and T to 0, and T by a
further D6. Each point lost counts as one Serious
Injury.
Right Arm:

1 Damaged Equipment randomly determine a

single item equipped to the left arm and place it in
the Discard Pile. If the gladiator has nothing
equipped to that arm, treat this result as a Bloody
Laceration.
2-3 Bloody Laceration this results in Loss of
Blood.
4 Torn Left Bicep Serious Injury. Reduce WS
and BS by 1. This results in Loss of Blood.
5 Fractured Left Arm Serious Injury. Reduce
WS, BS, and S by 1.
6 Broken Left Arm Serious Injury. Reduce S
by 1. The gladiator loses use of the left arm. All
items equipped to this arm are discarded. No
further items may be equipped to this arm.
7+ Severed Left Arm Serious Injury. This
injury removes all other Serious Injuries on this
limb. The gladiator loses use of the left arm. All
items equipped to this arm are discarded. No
further items may be equipped to this arm. In
addition, the gladiator suffers D3 Bloody
Laceration results. Any further injuries to this
body part are ignored.
Right Leg:

1 Damaged Equipment randomly determine a

single item equipped to the right arm and place it in
the Discard Pile. If the gladiator has nothing
equipped to that arm, treat this result as a Bloody
Laceration.

1 Damaged Leg-Gear randomly determine a

single item equipped to right leg and place it in the
Discard Pile. If the gladiator has nothing equipped
to that leg, treat this result as a Trip.

2-3 Bloody Laceration this results in Loss of

Blood.

2 Tripped the gladiator must roll over their

Speed on a D6 or be placed Prone.

4 Torn Right Bicep Serious Injury. Reduce

WS and BS by 1. This results in Loss of Blood.

3 Bloody Laceration this results in Loss of

Blood.

5 Fractured Right Arm Serious Injury.

Reduce WS, BS, and S by 1.

4 Torn Right Hamstring Serious Injury. Roll

a D6. If the result is under the gladiators Sp (or a
1), the gladiator is placed Prone. Halve the
gladiators Sp (rounding down) and reduce their A
by 1.

6 Broken Right Arm Serious Injury. Reduce

S by 1. The gladiator loses use of the right arm.
All items equipped to this arm are discarded. No
further items may be equipped to this arm.
7+ Severed Right Arm Serious Injury. This
injury removes all other Serious Injuries on this
limb. The gladiator loses use of the right arm. All
items equipped to this arm are discarded. No
further items may be equipped to this arm. In
addition, the gladiator suffers D3 Bloody
Laceration results. Any further injuries to this
body part are ignored.

5 Severed Right Hamstring Serious Injury.

Roll a D6. If the result is under the gladiators Sp
(or a 1), the gladiator is placed Prone. Halve the
gladiators Sp (rounding down) and reduce their A
by 1. This results in Loss of Blood.
6 Broken Right Leg Serious Injury. Roll a D6.
If the result is under the gladiators Sp (or a 1), the
gladiator is placed Prone. Reduce their Sp to 0 and
A to 1 (or 0 if at 1 already).

11

7+ Severed Right Leg Serious Injury. This

injury removes all other Serious Injuries on this
limb. Roll a D6. If the result is under the
gladiators Sp (or a 1), the gladiator is placed
Prone. Reduce the gladiators Sp to 0 and reduce
their A to 1 (or 0 if at 1 already). The gladiator
loses use of the right leg. All items equipped to
this leg are discarded. No further items may be
equipped to this leg. In addition, the gladiator
suffers D3 Bloody Laceration results. Any further
injuries to this body part are ignored.
Left Leg:

their A to 1 (or 0 if at 1 already). The gladiator
loses use of the left leg. All items equipped to this
leg are discarded. No further items may be
equipped to this leg. In addition, the gladiator
suffers D3 Bloody Laceration results. Any further
injuries to this body part are ignored.
Torso:

2 Tripped the gladiator must roll over their

Speed on a D6 or be placed Prone.

1-2 Winded the gladiators R and Sp are

reduced by 1.

3 Bloody Laceration this results in Loss of

Blood.

3-4 Flesh Wound this results in Loss of Blood.

4 Torn Left Hamstring Serious Injury. Roll a

D6. If the result is under the gladiators Sp (or a 1),
the gladiator is placed Prone. Halve the gladiators
Sp (rounding down) and reduce their A by 1.
5 Severed Left Hamstring Serious Injury.
Roll a D6. If the result is under the gladiators Sp
(or a 1), the gladiator is placed Prone. Halve the
gladiators Sp (rounding down) and reduce their A
by 1. This results in Loss of Blood.

5 Cracked Rib Serious Injury. May be

sustained multiple times. Reduces T by 1.
6 Organ Damage Serious Injury. Reduces T
by 2.
7+ Evisceration reduce S and T to 0, and T by
a further D3. Each point lost counts as one Serious
Injury.

Note changes to characteristics on the gladiators stat line.

Serious Injuries note each injury labelled Serious on the gladiators Profile. Unless otherwise stated, each
Serious Injury can only be sustained once. If the injury is rolled again whilst it is written in a gladiators
Medical Record, apply the next highest result. Serious Injuries affect the gladiator permanently, unless healed
post-game.
Damage counters for each injury, place a Damage counter in the relevant body part on the Status Screen.
Loss of Blood for each injury that results in Loss of Blood, place D6 Loss of Blood counters (see page 14) in
the relevant body part on the Status Screen.

Shasvre KaiHitanni is the only Tau ever to defeat a Wych in single combat.
To date his Honour Blade has claimed the lives of 23 citizens of
Commorragh, 153 pit slaves and 2 captured Carnifexes. Such skills bar his
only means of escape from a lifetime of torturous combat, but they have
also earned him the acclaim of his captors and the curses of a thousand
Fire Warriors who die in the slavers forlorn attempts to replicate his
impossible feats.

12

The Turn
At the beginning of the first turn both players place a Engage, Action and Defence card from the Gladiator Card
Set (included at end of the book) on the provided spaces on each gladiators Profile. Each gladiator has access
to one complete set of these cards, so multiples of the same card may be used for different gladiators. These
cards are placed face-down, so the opponent cannot see what they are. At the beginning of subsequent turns,
players may choose to swap any number of these cards that are still face-down for another of the same category,
including the original card if mind games are your thing! Face-up cards must be refreshed, with the new card
being placed face-down.

Activate Coliseum Equipment:

Now the host can/must activate any Coliseum Equipment, as described individually for each item.

Activate gladiators:
Next, both players roll a D6 and add the highest Readiness value of any model on their side, re-rolling ties. The
winner of this roll off gets to activate one of their gladiators first. Where there are more than two Cults
competing, the initiative proceeds clockwise from the starting position of the first Cult. Where one or more
sides have multiple gladiators, models are activated individually, alternating between players. When all
gladiators have been activated, the turn is over and a new one begins. In larger games, it may be necessary to
place a counter beside each gladiator who has already been activated, especially as another gladiator may
provoke an opponent into some kind of action without getting rid of their opportunity for activation.
There are three elements to each activation; status, movement, and action. Each is described below.

13

The Status Element

Throughout the course of a duel, no gladiator will stay in perfect health. The status element of their activation
allows you to assess how each gladiator is faring.
Gladiator specific effects:
Most ongoing effects are represented by counters stored in the Medical Record which will dissipate over time.
After activation, but before these effects are applied, roll a D6 for each point of Toughness the gladiator has.
For each roll of 4+ one of their counters is removed, in the order listed below. After this, apply any active
effects in this same order.
The rules below may be skipped over if you are reading the basic rules. It is enough to remember that effect
counters are dealt with at this point.
Fury a gladiator with Fury counters gains 1 Readiness.
Nitrous Oxide a gladiator with Nitrous Oxide counters counts their Presence as 6. Nitrous Oxide and
Damage counters cancel each other out on a one-to-one basis, so a gladiator will only have one of them at any
time. Whilst the gladiator has Nitrous Oxide counters, any D6 roll of a 1 for determining how many counters
are removed reduces the gladiators natural Presence by 1 for the remainder of the game.
Berserk a gladiator with one or more Berserk counters in their Medical Record may never be Incapacitated.
They will continue fighting even if reduced to 0 S or T until they have no Berserk counters remaining.
Nightmare a gladiator with Nightmare counters must take a Presence test. If passed, they act normally. If
failed, they must move as fast as possible directly away from the source of the Nightmare, and may not be
Engaged during their activation.
Soporifics a gladiator may have one or more Soporific counters in their Medical Record. Reduce their Sp and
R by 1 for each remaining counter. If ever neither their Sp nor R can be reduced further, they are Stunned.
Anti-Coagulants a gladiator with one or more Anti-Coagulant counters in their Medical Record counts each
Loss of Blood counter as two when it comes to removing counters. A gladiator may, however, use a final odd
successful roll to remove a Loss of Blood counter. Thus three 4+s would dissipate two Loss of Blood counters
when Anti-Coagulants are present.
Poison a gladiator may have one or more Poison counters in their Medical Record. Reduce their Sp or R by 1
for each remaining counter. If ever neither their Sp nor R can be reduced further and there are still some
counters to resolve, reduce their S or T by a single point as well.
Loss of Blood a gladiator may have one or more Loss of Blood counters. Reduce their Sp or R by 1 for each
remaining counter. If ever neither their Sp nor R can be reduced further and there are still some counters to
resolve, reduce their S or T by a single point as well.
Grave Lotus a gladiator with at least one Grave Lotus counter has +1 Toughness. This is not cumulative, so a
gladiator may only ever receive a +1 bonus to their stat line. The bonus is applied immediately, not just in the
Status Phase.
Painbringer a gladiator with at least one Painbringer counter has +1 Strength. This is not cumulative, so a
gladiator may only ever receive a +1 bonus to their stat line. The bonus is applied immediately, not just in the
Status Phase.
Serpentin a gladiator with at least one Serpentin counter has +1 Agility. This is not cumulative, so a gladiator
may only ever receive a +1 bonus to their stat line. The bonus is applied immediately, not just in the Status
Phase.

14

Antivenom Poison and Soporific counters are cancelled out by Antivenom counters on a one-to-one basis, so
a gladiator will only have Poison and Soporific or Antivenom counters in their Medical Record at any one time.
Coagulants Anti-Coagulant and Coagulant counters cancel each other out on a one-to-one basis, so a gladiator
will only have one or the other in their Medical Record at any one time.
Coma:
Any gladiator who is Incapacitated as a result of effects in their own status element gains the special Coma
Serious Injury. This Serious Injury prevents them from being participating in all further games whilst they have
it.

Shar-Daam grinned as the five fighters spread out around him, surrounding him
completely. These were Hive drones, the dregs of human society. Compared to the
mighty Shar-Daam, a seven foot tower of muscle, they were nothing. He dimly mused
he would have to work very hard to please the crowd in this one.
The first to dart forward came from behind his right shoulder. The spiked chain-flail
it was supposed to be wielding was so heavy its master arrived well ahead of the
weapon. Shar had to drop to one knee to bring himself to a level with the slaveling,
moving his spear point directly into the path of its leap. Another jumped forward,
this time from the left, clearly hoping to take advantage of the distraction. Its
sword arm fell to the ground with one sweep of the sickle-like blade in Shars left
hand, blood gushing out onto the sand. The third attacker lurched towards him,
struggling with the weight of a twin-headed axe. Shar waited for the blow to fall
before spinning aside and beyond the circle, opening up the slavelings gut on the
way past.
Settling back into his combat stance, weapons ready, he surveyed the remnants of
this little game. Five standing gladiators. One with a gaping hole punched through
the stomach, one stooping to pick up its sword with his left hand, and one with a
curtain of stinking entrails hanging from its belly, but each as intent on the kill as
the two untouched. Shar could see it know; the Bloodknot in their eyes. Slaves
drugged up to the limit of their metabolism to keep the entertainment going longer.
The pit fighter thought quickly. Berserkers were not invincible. As soon as the
drugs wore off, most would be dead of their own accord. His life now depended on
the frugality of the Cultists dosage; whether they deemed Shar a prize worth paying
for. He circled around, keeping all five ahead of him as they attempted to close the
gap. Jeers sprang up from the spectators around him, from those who normally
screamed the name of Shar-Daam for the whole of Commorragh to hear. No matter.
They would cheer soon, they only wanted to see a show. Shar sprang forward,
driving his spear into the face of the one-armed fighter. The slave struck the
spearhead off, slashing blindly at Shar-Daam, who was now well back beyond reach.
A net from another slaveling nearly entangled Shar, but he shoved it aside with the
fist carrying the blade. Off balance, a long dart struck his left shoulder and hung
there in the flesh. Shar calmly pulled in out and buried it in the net fighter as it was
attempting to haul the net back in. He managed to hook the great axe aside with his
sickle, only to have the flail rake across his knee, forcing him to the ground. This
forced the axe-man forward, weapon still entangled, so Shar took full advantage
and swept of its head with an uppercut swing, hastily followed by a parry as a
scimitar cut down towards his head.
Two were out the fight. The blind swordsman flailed about aimlessly behind,
drawing blood but no other reaction from at least one fellow. The headless corpse
had fallen to the sand at Shars feet, though it was still twitching in starts. The
flail and scimitar exchanged blows, parries, and faints with the champion, Shar
opening up a dozen new blood wounds for a mere brace in return. Soon the blood
would start to tell on them. He pushed on, screaming to raise from shredded knee to
drive the slavelings back. But a stab of pain erupted behind his other knee as he
staggered forward; the dart turned upon him again from behind, piercing clean
through muscle and cartilage. He struck out as he fell, severing one slaves leg.
Then the net descended, and it was all he could do to watch the dying men exultant
in their final moments, raining blow after blow down on his body.

15

The Movement Element

It is a foolish soul indeed who stays still in Commorragh. Gladiators must build up momentum, seize the
initiative or the high ground, or manoeuvre to backstab a foe if they wish to survive the arena.

Engaging the opponent:

In order to determine how a gladiator moves, you must first determine whether or not they are Engaged. A
gladiator is Engaged if they are not Immobile and start their activation within 4 of another visible gladiator
belonging to another team. The player may choose between multiple eligible targets to Engage, but may only
Engage one during their activation. The gladiator who they Engage is referred to as the target.

Non-Engaged gladiators:
As gladiators will rarely start a game Engaged, we will begin with the rules for non-Engaged gladiators.
Assuming they are not Engaged, a gladiator may move as follows when activated:
Adjusting Readiness and Speed:
After assessing the arena, you must decide where your priorities lie. The gladiator may adjust their Readiness or
their Speed, but not both.
If Speed is chosen, they may increase it by up to 2 points or decrease it by any amount.
If Readiness is chosen, they may adjust it by up to 2 points in either direction.
Next, as sprinting gladiators cannot be as aware of their surroundings, if the gladiator is moving at Speed 4 or
above, their Readiness is reduced by 1. This happens regardless of their choice.
Speed:
After that, the gladiator actually makes their move. Each point of Speed represents 2 of movement in a straight
line directly forward. A gladiator must move at least half their Speed value before the end of their activation,
though they can move anywhere up to their whole Speed value. A gladiators maximum Speed value is 1 plus
their Agility unless specifically stated by a special rule, or they have Agility 0, in which case they must be at
Speed 0. A gladiators minimum Speed is 0.
Turning:
A gladiator who is not Engaged may turn freely at any point during their move. They may turn multiple times if
desired. However, if the gladiator turns more than 90 in total (adding up all turns made), they lose 1 Speed
immediately. Thus, a gladiator at Speed 3 can move 1, turn 90 left, move a further 1, turn 90 (reducing them
to Speed 2), before completing the remaining 2 forward. There may be a point at which a gladiator can turn no
further. For example, a gladiator at Speed 5 who has already moved 10 in their activation can turn no further
than 90. A gladiator at Speed 0 can turn freely, as they will never have exceeded their maximum move of 0.
Exceeding 180 total turn does not deduct another point of Speed.
Terrain:
The fighting pit of a Wych Cult coliseum is rarely smooth and uniform. Anything from the corpses of previous
combatants to the gallows erected for the half-time show can be in the way of two gladiators who want to get to

16

grips with one another, not to mention the areas of hidden quicksand or spiked altars the hosts set up to make the
fights more entertaining. All terrain should be discussed and agreed upon before the game begins.
Terrain height all terrain has a height value in relation to the ground level of 0. Every 1/2 represents a
single level, so that, for example, a 1 high stage area will have a height value of 2. A gladiators height value is
the value of the piece of terrain they are currently standing on. Gladiators may move between terrain pieces
equal to or 1 different from their height value without penalty.
If gladiators are 4 or more levels apart they may not Engage one another.
To attempt to jump up more than one level and continue their move, a gladiator must pass an Agility test, adding
to the score needed their Speed, but subtracting the difference in height. To continue our example, a gladiator
with A 3 and Sp 4 would have to roll a 5 or less (3+4-2) to move onto the stage from the ground. If the test is
failed, the gladiator halts immediately before the higher level, has their Speed reduced to 0, and can move no
further.
A gladiator may freely jump down any number of levels, but must pass an Agility test when moving (or finding
themselves moved for any other reason) down more than three levels or be placed Prone on the nearest point of
the lower level. So long as they descend more than three levels, regardless of whether the Agility test is passed
or failed, as soon as the lower level is reached, roll a D6 for each point of height difference. For each 5+, the
gladiator suffers a Damage Point that counts as Blunt (see page 29). If more than ten dice are rolled, each scores
a Damage Point on a 4+.
Gaps equal to the gladiators Speed in inches may be leapt across, but a gladiator must pass the Agility test and
will suffer damage exactly as if they had fallen this distance.
Gladiators may instead elect to climb height differences at the beginning of their move, reducing their Speed to
0 but gaining a vertical maximum move equal to their Agility in inches.
Difficult terrain some terrain will be labelled Difficult. Any gladiator entering it immediately has their
maximum Speed halved (rounding down) whilst they remain in it. This may mean they come to a complete
standstill upon entering an area.
Uneven if a terrain piece is Uneven, it counts as Difficult ground for all who do not pass an Agility test upon
entering it or being activated whilst in it.
Tripping Hazard if a terrain piece is a Tripping Hazard, any gladiator must take a Tripping Hazard test as
soon as they enter it or start a subsequent move within it. Roll a D6, add the gladiators Agility and subtract
their Speed. If the total is 4 or greater, they manage to stay on their feet. If the total is less than 4, they are
placed Prone. If this happens, roll a D6 for each point of Speed the gladiator had before the test was taken. On
a 6 they suffer a Damage Point.
Impassable terrain terrain designated as Impassable cannot by moved through for any reason. The edges of
the arena are always Impassable.
Immobile gladiators:
Immobile gladiators cannot adjust their Speed or Readiness, nor can they move or turn.

Engaged gladiators:
When face-to-face with an opponent, manoeuvring freely becomes far more difficult. Engaged gladiators ignore
all the movement rules for non-Engaged gladiators. Instead, the activated gladiator and their target are turned to
face one another, unless the target is Immobile or does not have line of sight to the activated gladiator, in which
case only the activated gladiator is turned. If either has to be turned more than 90 to do this, deduct 1 Speed.
Next, the Engage cards of the two gladiators are turned face-up. These cards may specify changes to the
gladiators Speed and Readiness, which should be applied now.

17

It is now important to ascertain the mid-point between the two combatants, as their final positions are worked
out in relation to this. With this point in mind, you may move the combatants in either order into the positions
determined by each Engage card as follows.
Charge:
The gladiator is moved 1 past the mid-point, directly through it, retaining their facing.
Flank Left:
The gladiator is moved to the point 2 to the left of the mid-point from their perspective, retaining their facing.
Two gladiators flanking to the same point finish base-to-base, facing one another.
Flank Right:
The gladiator is moved to the point 2 to the right of the mid-point from their perspective, retaining their facing.
Two gladiators flanking to the same point finish base-to-base, facing one another.
Pirouette:
The Pirouette card may only be selected by gladiators of Agility 4 or more. If ever it happens to be the card of a
gladiator ineligible to use it, count it as the Charge card instead.
The gladiator is moved 1 past the mid-point, directly through it, and then is pivoted to face their opponents
final position.
Rampage:
The Rampage card may only be selected by gladiators of Strength 4 or more. If ever it happens to be the card of
a gladiator ineligible to use it, count it as the Charge card instead.
The gladiator is moved 4 past the mid-point, directly through it, retaining their facing.
Stand Firm:
Any gladiator who cannot be pivoted to face their opponent counts their Engage card as Stand Firm. Gladiators
forced to use Stand Firm in this way will not have their Speed set to 0 as the card states.
A gladiator who Stands Firm does not move, other than to move directly away from the starting position of a
gladiator who finishes their Engage move on top of them, just enough to maintain base-to-base contact.
Skirmish:
The gladiator is moved backwards 4 from the mid-point, retaining facing. A Skirmishing gladiator will be
pushed further back by a Rampaging gladiator, just enough to maintain base-to-base contact.

These positions represent where the gladiators end up. For all gaming purposes it is to be assumed that they get
there by the shortest route in a straight line. However, each Engagement represents a coming together of two
fighters, such that even two Skirmishing gladiators ending the move 8 apart may have darted forwards to bury
knives in each others throat before backing away. If another gladiator gets in the way of the Engaged
gladiators end positions, move the extra gladiator as if they had chosen to Stand Firm.
At the end of any Engagement a gladiator is involved in, they may replace their Engage card. The new card is
placed facedown, and may be the same card.

18

Terrain:
Terrain affects Engaged gladiators in exactly the same way as non-Engaged gladiators. If a gladiator ends their
Engagement move over a gap it is possible to jump, they may elect to attempt to do so (which they must try
from the start of the jump!).
Multiple Engagements:
The Engage cards represent the
only movement an Engaged
gladiator can make when activated.
Despite this, a gladiator who has
been part of an Engagement can
still
be
part
of
another
Engagement, though they may
only be activated once per turn.
They will even Engage the same
gladiator if their opponent is
subsequently
activated
and
Engages them.

As both gladiators can trace a line of sight through their front or side arcs to their opponent, they both must move during the

The Action Element:

The actions available to a gladiator include putting their weapons to good use, making feints, hit and run attacks,
or clawing a syringe of combat drugs from their pack. Each action is represented by an Action card, which
starts face-down and is turned over when the action is attempted. At the end of any activation in which you
have been able to attempt an action you may swap the Action card for another (or the same card) and replace it
face-down.
The following descriptions detail the effects of each action, as well as at which points during an activation it
may be used.
Close-Combat Attack:
This action may be used at the end of any Engagement involving the gladiator, as long as the gladiator had line
of sight to their opponent at some point during the Engagement. It may be used multiple times a turn, but only
once per Engagement.
This is a single strike from one close-combat weapon the gladiator has equipped. If no close-combat weapons
are equipped, the attack is lost. If both players wish to make a Close-Combat Attack action, the chosen
weapons Reach determines the order in which the fighters strike. The activated gladiator declares which
weapon they will use first. Weapons with Reaches marked as Far strike before all others. Fair strikes
before Near. Weapons with equal Reaches strike simultaneously. Either way, both gladiators attempting
Close-Combat Attacks will be attacker and defender before the next gladiator is activated. An earlier CloseCombat Attack may prevent or weaken a later one.

Continuing the example from above, suppose both participants in the Engagement revealed their Close-Combat Attack Action
card. The order of the attacks would depend on the Reach of the weapons used. In this case, both the Human Fighters Heavy
Scimitar and the Wychs Scimitar have Fair Reach, meaning attacks are conducted simultaneously. The players agree the
Human Fighters attack is to be resolved first, but any damage will not be applied until all Fair Reach attacks are resolved.

21

All Close-Combat attacks are resolved as follows:

If there is not one already, the attacker must choose a Close-Combat card to place on their Profile. Unless
otherwise stated, this card cannot be replaced until the end of the turn. The three Close-Combat cards are
Mighty Blow, Slash, and Stab. Now the defender turns their Defence card over (if it is not already face-up),
revealing either Counter, Evade, or Parry. These cards are important for determining both players CloseCombat Scores (CCSs), which in turn determines whether an attack is successful. A gladiators CCS is
calculated by rolling 2D6 and applying various modifiers. The first and most important layer of modifiers is
based on the cards used, allowing each gladiator to add in some of their own characteristics as follows:
Close-Combat card vs Defence card:
Mighty Blow vs Counter
Mighty Blow vs Evade
Mighty Blow vs Parry
Slash vs Counter
Slash vs Evade
Slash vs Parry
Stab vs Counter
Stab vs Evade
Stab vs Parry

Attacker adds:
S
S+Sp

WS+R
WS+R
WS
A+R
A
A+Sp

Defender adds:
WS+R
A+Sp
S
WS+Sp
A
S+R
WS
A+Sp
S+R

It should be noted that some combinations are inherently more advantageous than others, meaning there is great
advantage in being able to second guess an opponent.
The second layer of modifiers comes from the weapons used. Each weapon has five modifiers; one for each
attacking and defensive stance apart from Evade. Both gladiators use the modifier for their selected weapon.
The defender defends with any weapon equipped, although one weapon must be chosen if any are available and
hence some weapons with negative defensive modifiers will be a hindrance. If the defender has no weapon
capable of Counter or Parry, they automatically try to Evade. Evading gladiators receive no modifier from their
weapon, but the weight of their gear affects their important Agility characteristic.
Around the Guard weapons equipped to left-hand or right-hand body parts can only be used to defend with
full effectiveness against attacks from their own arc and the front arc. Otherwise, the attack gets Around the
Guard, meaning the maximum weapon bonus the defender may claim is 0.
In addition, attacks from the front arc will get Around the Guard if the attackers weapon is equipped to the
same side as the defenders. Weapons with left or right in their name always count as being equipped to
that side.
Finally, the attackers CCS is subject to some universal modifiers, as follows:
Situation:
Height advantage
Backstab (nearest point of defenders base is part of their rearward arc and the
attacker is not attacking from their own rearward arc)
The attacker has Damage counters on the body part used to attack
The defender has Damage counters on the body part used to defend

Modifier:
+/-1 per point of Height
difference
+3
-1 per counter
+1 per counter

Compare the two gladiators CCSs. If the attackers CCS is equal or higher then the attack succeeds and causes
1 Damage Point unless otherwise stated. If not, the attack is fended off and no damage is caused.
Strength 7+ the Close-Combat Attacks of gladiators with Strength 7 or more have the Multiple Injuries (+1)
equipment special rule in addition to all other special rules. They get another +1 or each point of Strength above
7.

22

Counter as a special case, if the defenders CCS is at least 4 higher than the attackers and the attack was
defended using Counter, the defender inflicts 1 Damage Point upon the attacker with their elected weapon.
Targeted blows Damage Points that are the direct result of a Close-Combat Attack or Counter receive a
modification to the roll on any body chart. Both players roll a D6 and add their gladiators WS. The winner, if
there is one, may modify the result of the body chart dice by 1 in either direction (although never below 2 or
above 12).

Fighter

Wych

Mighty
Blow

Evade

Sp

Sp

The Human Fighter reveals the Mighty Blow Close-Combat card, whilst the Wych attempts to Evade.
Consulting the table above, the Human Fighters CCS is in this case 2D6 + Strength + Speed + weapon modifier. If they roll
a 5 on 2D6, this would be:
5+4+2+1=12
The Wychs CCS would be 2D6 + Agility + Speed (there is no weapon modifier for Evade). If they roll a 9 on 2D6, this would
be:
9+4+2=15
The Wychs CCS is higher, so no damage is inflicted. The Wych is assumed to have dodged aside from the heavy blow.

It is a poor gladiator indeed who finishes off their opponent with one sweep of a blade.
This is not the battlefield, where quick efficiency is rewarded. Indeed, there is no surer
way to get a Cults Hellhounds accidentally released than ending the fight too
quickly. As such, even vastly superior gladiators will often allow themselves to be hit a
couple of times, especially if this will result in the spilling of blood; a sure-fire way to
please the crowd.
Such antics were taken to the extreme by Succubus Baalath Nightspear, who,
disappointed by the poor display put on by her Cults prize Great Knarloc, dutifully
allowed the maimed beast the rip both her arms off before finishing it off by lodging a
bladed hairpiece in its eye. Dark Eldar society traditionally despises the scarred or
unwhole, but the frequent champions who step forward to rid Commorragh of this
blight all come to a sticky end, spiked or battered by some trapping of the Nightspears
hair. In this way, the Nightspear has earned the begrudging respect of Commorragh.

23

Fighter

Wych

Parry

Stab

Sp

Sp

Now the Wych reveals the Stab Close-Combat card, whilst the Human Fighter tries to Parry. As the Wych is Around the
Guard of the Human Fighters left-handed Iron Round Shield, the shields hefty +5 Parry modifier counts as a 0. The Human
Fighter therefore chooses to defend with their Heavy Scimitar.
Consulting the table above, the Wychs CCS is 2D6 + Agility + Speed + weapon modifier. If they roll a 7 on 2D6, this would
be:
7+4+2+3=16
The Human Fighters CCS would be 2D6 + Strength + Readiness + weapon modifier. If they roll a 6 on 2D6, this would be:
6+4+3+3=16
The CCSs are even, meaning the Close-Combat Attack succeeds. The Wych now rolls on the body chart to determine where
the blow lands. A 10 is scored, which is modified to 11 for being from the right side. The Wych player sees the opportunity to
hit the head, and attempts a targeted blow. Both players roll a D6 and add their Weapon Skill. The Wych scores 6 and the
Human Fighter scores 8. The Human Fighter may therefore modify the body chart score of 11 by 1 in either direction. Not
wanting to suffer a head wound, however, the Fighter keeps the blow on their right arm.
The Human Fighter has a Chainmail Sleeve (Armour Save (4+)) and Iron Spaulder (Armour Save (5+)) equipped to their
right arm, giving a combined Armour Save of 3+ (see page 28). The Wychs Scimitar has a -1 Melee Armour Modifier,
meaning the save is now 4+. A 3 is rolled and the Armour Save failed.
A D6 is now rolled on the Right Arm injury chart. A 1 is scored, resulting in Damaged Equipment. The Chainmail Sleeve is
randomly selected and put into the Fighters Discard Pile. The Wychs Scimitar pierced some links and left the chainmail
flapping under the arm. A Damage counter is now placed on the Human Fighters Status Screen over the right arm, giving a 1 CCS modifier if this arm is used in further actions.
Disengage:
This action may be used at the end of any Engagement involving this gladiator, after all Close-Combat Attacks
have been resolved. If both gladiators in an Engagement wish to Disengage, the gladiator with the highest
Readiness (roll-off if tied) may choose who Disengages first. This will normally deny the other gladiator the
chance to Disengage.
Any gladiator wishing to survive long in the arena must quickly learn when to disengage and find a more
favourable route of attack. When this action is made, move the gladiator out of the 4 Engage zone of the other
gladiator in that Engagement, or onto a height level at least 4 different. If the gladiator is already beyond the 4
mark, the action has no effect. Note you can only move out of the zone of the other gladiator in the Engagement
just resolved.

24

The move must be the shortest possible distance, and the gladiator will finish facing directly away from their
opponent. If the shortest possible route involves jumping or climbing, the next shortest route without either of
these may be chosen if desired. If the shortest possible route would leave the gladiator over a gap it is possible
for them to jump, the jump may be attempted.
If the move involves turning more than 90, deduct 1 Speed.
Immobile gladiators cannot Disengage, and will immediately stop the Disengage move if made Immobile during
it.
Double Strike:
This action may be used at the end of any
Engagement involving the gladiator, as long as the
gladiator had line of sight to their opponent at some
point during the Engagement. It may be used
multiple times a turn, but only once per
Engagement.
Gladiators often fight with multiple weapons,
attacking in quick succession so that the number of
blows may overwhelm an opponent. This Action
begins with a normal Close-Combat Attack (see
page 21), with the exception that the attackers
CCS is modified by -2. Next, the activated
gladiator chooses any other weapon they have
equipped and resolves a second Close-Combat
Attack using the same Close-Combat card, again
with a -2 CCS penalty. If no further weapon is
equipped, this second attack is lost.
Feint:
This action may be used at the end of any Engagement involving the gladiator, as long as the gladiator had line
of sight to their opponent at some point during the Engagement. It may be used multiple times a turn, but only
once per Engagement.
The gladiator draws out their opponent with a quick feint, before striking where they are weak. Take back any
Close-Combat card you have on your Profile. Next, your opponent in the Engagement must reveal their
Defence card, turning it face-up. Then choose a weapon and roll a D6. If the score is equal to or greater than
your chosen weapons Handling score, immediately make a Close-Combat Attack with that weapon.
Hit and Run:
Whether used to escape retribution or move from victim to victim more quickly, hit and runs are common in the
arenas of Commorragh. This action may be declared at the beginning of any Engagement involving the
gladiator, after the gladiators have been turned to face each other, as long as the gladiator has line of sight to
their opponent. It commits the gladiator to a Close-Combat Attack action. After this, roll a D6. If the score is
equal to or less than the gladiators current Speed, or a 6, they must then make a Disengage action. Both actions
are resolved at their usual points during the Engagement.
Quick-Draw:
This action may be used at the beginning of any Engagement involving the gladiator, after the gladiators have
been turned to face each other, as long as the gladiator has line of sight to their opponent. It may be used once
per Engagement, and once at any point during the gladiators own activation if not Engaged.
A talent much needed on the streets of Commorragh and no less useful in the arena, the gladiator swiftly draws a
weapon and surprises an opponent. Immediately choose one item in the Pack and equip it. Alternatively,
Quick-Draw can be used to move an item to another valid body part, and/or re-orientate it if applicable. You
may place one piece of equipment in the Pack to accommodate either course. Then roll a D6. If the score is

25

equal to or greater than items Handling score, or the Handling score of the replaced item if this more difficult,
you may immediately make a Close-Combat or Shooting Attack, resolving it now, not in the normal sequence.
Re-Equip:
This action may be used once at any point during the gladiators own activation.
A gladiator will often need to swap between equipment in the heat of the contest. With a Re-Equip action, a
gladiator may rearrange all equipment they are carrying, moving it between their Pack and Status Screen as
desired. The resultant set-up must not, of course, break any rule stipulated for the equipment or gladiator.
Alternatively, a Re-Equip action may be used to attempt to recover one item from the Discard Pile. This
represents the gladiator scooping it back up from the ground, refastening the straps, or bashing it back into
shape. If this option is chosen, pick the item and roll a D6. If the result is equal to or higher than the items
Durability score, you may place it back into the Pack.
Shooting Attack:
This action may be used once at any point during the gladiators activation, and at the beginning of any
Engagement this gladiator is the target of, before the models are turned. Each attempted Shooting Attack leaves
the gladiator at -2 Readiness.
Some gladiators carry ranged weapons with which to
engage their foes. To make a Shooting Attack, choose
an appropriate weapon the gladiator has equipped and
a target (this has to be the other gladiator in the
Engagement, if Engaged) to whom the activated
gladiator has at least some line of sight. Now
determine whether the target is in Long or Short
Range for that weapon, as indicated on the card. If
neither applies, the shot is not made and has no effect;
it is assumed the gladiator pauses upon lining up the
shot, realising the target is too far away. Where this is
not the case, both gladiators need to determine their
Shooting Score (SS). To do this, roll 2D6 for each
and apply the following modifiers:
Shooters modifiers:
Weapon modifier, according to range
Ballistic Skill
Firing on the move
Damage counters on body part used

Modifier:
As card
+BS
-Sp
-1 per counter

Targets modifiers:
Dodge
Moving target
Target (including base) is at least partially obscured by intervening terrain*
Target has at least a limb partially obscured by intervening terrain*
Targets torso is at least partially obscured by terrain*
Targets torso is wholly obscured by terrain*

Modifier:
+A
+Sp
+1
+2
+3
+4

* Only apply the heaviest modifier.

If the shooter manages to equal or beat the targets SS, the shot hits. If not, the target manages to evade the shot
and it misses. If the shot misses, roll a Scatter Dice; the shot hits a point or model in the direction indicated.
The distance it deviates is the difference between the two SSs. A hit on anything (even if not the intended
target) will cause 1 Damage Point unless otherwise stated.

26

A gladiator may target a visible point on the ground instead of an opponent. In such a case, the targets SS
always counts as 12.
Throwing weapons other items may also be used to make Shooting Attacks by throwing them. Such attacks
have a range in inches triple the gladiators Strength, minus 1 for every 25 Weight on the item used (to a
minimum of 1). All normal modifiers apply, but the modifier for using a thrown weapon on the move is
positive, not negative, and the weapon modifier is -1 for each 50 Weight on the item; no Close-Combat
modifiers are used. If an item hits, then any Close-Combat rules it has apply, as if the attack were a Mighty
Blow. If the item cannot usually be used for a Close-Combat Attack, its Shooting Attack when thrown counts
as both Blunt and an Ineffectual Blow. Any item thrown is immediately removed from the game as soon as the
attack has been resolved, and is automatically returned to the gladiator after the game.
Taunt:
This action may be used once at any point during the gladiators own activation.
Even a grizzled gladiator knows that sometimes words can be used as weapons of war. Pick a gladiator in your
front arc. If within 12, both roll a D6 and add their Presence. If the totals are equal or the targets is higher, the
Taunt has no effect. If the activated gladiators total is higher, the target must take a Presence test. If passed,
the target is immediately pivoted to face them and must do everything they can, barring potentially harmful
moves, to move as close as possible to their Taunter in their next activation, if not already Engaged with them.
In their activation, they will not Engage any other gladiator. When Engaged with the Taunter, they must use
Rampage (counting it as Charge if under Strength 4), and Close-Combat Attack, Double Strike, or Shooting
Attack. Swap the cards for these as soon as the Taunt successfully made. These cards may not then be swapped
until the beginning of the turn after the Taunted gladiators next activation. If the Presence test is failed, the
target is Stunned.

27

Special Rules
All special rules are exceptions to and expansions of the core rules. As such, every core rule is assumed to still
apply unless explicitly contradicted by a special rule.

Equipment Special Rules:

These rules apply to the whole item when stated on the card, unless indicated otherwise. It is common for some
weapons special rules to be limited to one kind of attack, as shown by the indices on the card.
Add-On:
This item is equipped to any equipped item. Place the card with the selected item on the Status Screen. It may
be damaged as normal for items equipped to that body part, but will also follow its selected item to the Pack or
Discard Pile if the item is moved.
Adrenaline:
Adrenaline can help gladiators shrug off all but the worst injuries. Remove the number of Damage or Soporific
counters indicated in parentheses on use.
Anti-Coagulants:
Some weapons are imbued with drugs to impair the victims natural resilience. Each injury inflicted adds the
number of Anti-Coagulant counters (see page 14) to the victim indicated in the parentheses. Multiple Injuries
from the same attack only add one set of counters.
Antivenom:
Antivenoms take many forms on the Black Market of Commorragh. Each provides the gladiator with the
number of Antivenom counters (see page 15) indicated in parentheses on use.
Armour Save:
The value indicated in parentheses is the Armour Save granted the body part to which this item is equipped.
Only one Armour Save may be used per Damage Point, but each unused Armour Save item for that body part
betters the Armour Save by 1 (to a maximum of 2+).
Berserk:
A Cult leader may gift certain gladiators with exotic drugs that can prolong their life beyond its natural course
that is, if the Cult leader in question does not mind a significant drop in their gladiators mental faculties. Such
an item provides the gladiator with the number of Berserk counters (see page 14) indicated in parentheses on
use.
Blade Trap:
This is a weapon designed to break other weapons. When the Blade Trap successfully fends off a CloseCombat Attack with a Parry, the defender may choose to try to disarm their opponent. If this is done, the
weapon the attacker used must score its Durability or higher on a D6 or be discarded. If discarded, the Blade
Trap weapon must also roll its Durability or higher on a D6 or similarly be discarded.

28

Blast:
A Blast weapon does not cause damage in the normal way. Place the centre of a 3 round template over the
point of impact. Anything even partially touched by this template suffers a Damage Point if a D6 roll for each
satisfies the conditions stated in parentheses after the word Blast. For instance, Blast (5+) would inflict one
Damage Point on the roll of a 5+ to all under the template. If a characteristic is specified (e.g. Blast (T)),
simply take an appropriate characteristic test, applying a Damage Point for failure. Any failed roll for damage
must be re-rolled for things at least partially under the central hole. If the weapon is also Blast, targets may be
affected twice.
Blunt:
Blunt attacks will never cause Loss of Blood; any reference to this on a body chart is ignored. However, if the
only stated effect of that injury is Loss of Blood, apply the next lowest result, or the next highest if it can go no
lower.
Caltrop:
An equipped Caltrop may be dropped at any point during the gladiators movement element. Place a 3 round
template over the point at which the Caltrop is dropped. As soon as that activation is over, the Caltrop becomes
active. When any gladiator moves through an active Caltrop template, they are affected by the Caltrop at the
point where they would pass nearest to the centre of the template.
Caltrops that are neither Blast nor Large Blast (see pages 29 and 33) cannot be triggered by gladiators who
Hover. When triggered, they inflict a Damage Point with the associated special rules on the target gladiator
unless that gladiator passes an Agility test. The attack always hits the nearest leg or similar to the body chart
result rolled (rerolling ties). A score of 8 on the Humanoid body chart would therefore hit the right leg. Should
any gladiator ever be placed Prone within the template, they suffer an additional Damage Point with associated
special rules targeted as normal. Such Caltrop templates remain until the end of the game, even if the item is
One Use Only (see page 34).
Caltrops that are Blast or Large Blast centre the template over the middle of the Caltrop template when
triggered. Damage is worked out in the normal manner and then the Caltrop template is removed.
Coagulants:
Some drugs can prepare a gladiator for the trials of combat, augmenting their natural physiology to better keep
them alive. An item with Coagulants provides the gladiator with the number of Coagulant counters (see page
15) indicated in parentheses on use.
CPU:
A CPU counts as a rider for a Mechanical Mount (see page 39) whilst equipped. It allows the Mechanical
Mount to operate without a rider, counting its WS as 1 and its BS as 3. Should a CPU be chosen as the item
affected by a Damaged Equipment Mechanical Fault, a roll of its Durability or higher on a D6 will prevent it
from being discarded. Mechanical Mounts with CPUs can gain Prestige whilst riderless.
Disarm:
When this item causes an injury, the gladiator may choose to attempt a Disarm. If chosen, no damage is
inflicted and one Handheld or Two-Handed item the target gladiator has equipped is chosen. This may not be
Fixed or an Unarmed Technique, and must be equipped to the body part hit, if the Disarm is part of a CloseCombat or Shooting Attack, or the item the target used, if a Parry. Both gladiators roll a D6 and add either their
Strength. If the Disarming gladiators total is higher, they must take a Weapon Skill test. If passed, the Disarm
item (and another item if the target item is Two-Handed) is moved the their Pack and replaced with the target
item. If failed, the gladiator suffers one injury to the body part with which the Disarm was attempted. If
discarded before the end of that game, the target item goes to its original owners Discard Pile. If not, the new
owner keeps it.

Disruption Field:
Disruption fields are valuable personal security devices that use powerful electromagnetic fields to deflect
attacks. Such devices usually have a limited effective arc, and are also vulnerable to threats from within the
field itself. They are nevertheless widely used by all who can afford them.
Unless explicitly specified, each Disruption Field may only protect one arc of a gladiator. This will be specified
either in parentheses or by the body part to which it is equipped. The field covers that arc at a distance of 2.
Any attacks on the gladiator from within this zone ignore the Disruption Field. Any Close-Combat or Shooting
Attack aimed through the Field as a -4 modifier, unless the attack came from the gladiator with the Disruption
Field equipped.
A Disruption Field may be overcharged to repel an opponent who gets too close. If the opponent in an
Engagement is in between the gladiator and Disruption Field after both have been moved, the gladiator may
choose to use a Close-Combat attack to attempt this, instead of causing damage. A Disruption Field used in this
way has Fair Reach. The opponent must pass a Speed test or be moved so that they are 2 away from the
gladiator and suffer a Tripping Hazard. You must then roll the Disruption Fields Durability or higher on a D6
or discard the item.
Filter:
This item allows the gladiator to ignore all effects of starting a turn in a Gas Cloud.
Fixed:
When a Fixed item is moved to a gladiator from a
Cults Armoury (see page 54), note in the
gladiators Medical Record exactly which body
part the item is affixed to. Handheld and TwoHanded weapons need not be Fixed to arms. All
items ignore the Two-Handed rule when Fixed. A
Fixed item will always be equipped to the noted
body part, unless temporarily in the Discard Pile as
the result of an injury. If ever recovered from the
Discard Pile, the item is immediately equipped to
the body part to which it was Fixed. It may not be
unequipped in any other way, even between games,
may only be sold along with the gladiator, and must
be sold if the gladiator is sold. If it is discarded by
an injury and the Durability roll is failed at the end
of the game (see page 53), the item is destroyed. If
the gladiator dies, the Fixed item is destroyed, not
returned to the Armoury. Arms given Fixed items
permanently lose the ability to equip Handheld
items and Gauntlets, even if the Fixed item is
destroyed. Fixed close-combat weapons may never
be used as part of a thrown Shooting Attack,
although are of course free to utilise their shooting
profile if they have one.

Some upgrades can be used to affix other items. In

such cases, the chosen item gains the Fixed rule
permanently.

Flexible:
After a gladiator has attempted to fend off a Close-Combat Attack with this weapon, they may change their
Defence card for any one of the three stances and place the chosen card face-down on their Profile.
Fragile:
After each use of this item, roll a D6 and compare the result to its Durability. If the result is less than the
Durability, the item must be discarded. You cannot attempt to recover Fragile items from your Discard Pile
with a Re-Equip action.

30

Fury:
Fury is one of the most common performance enhancing drugs of the forty-first millennium. Users report
sharper reactions, increased endurance, and the eponymous bloodthirsty rage. An item with Fury provides the
gladiator with the number of Fury counters (see page 14) indicated in parentheses on use.
Gauntlet:
Unless otherwise specified, Gauntlet items may only ever be equipped to arms, and only one such item may be
equipped per arm.
Gas Cloud:
An item marked Gas Cloud will produce a Gas Cloud on use, centred on the point of impact, which may for
some items be their own user. Gas Clouds may be produced in other circumstances too, as detailed elsewhere.
The Gas Cloud begins as a 5 round template considered to block line of sight and be 3 levels in height. It is
activated by the host along with the Coliseum Equipment, drifting D6 in the direction indicated by a Scatter
Dice. If the D6 score is a 4+, the cloud disperses. The first time it disperses it gets reduced in size to the 3
round template; the second time it is removed completely. Gladiators within a Gas Cloud at the start of a turn
receive a Soporific counter. Additional effects from beginning the turn inside a Gas Cloud may be indicated in
parentheses.
Gland:
All Glands are Fragile, and must be Fixed to a torso or head (see page 30). They can, however, be freely
implanted, meaning they do not require another upgrade to Fix them. Glands are used automatically as soon as
the gladiator is subject to an effect countered by the Glands other special rules. For example, an Adrenaline
Gland activates immediately when the gladiator receives any Damage or Soporific counters. Glands activate
one at a time in any desired order, but have to be activated if they can counter a live effect. A discarded Gland
that is not recovered at the end of the game can be recovered by Medical Points just as if it were a Serious
Injury, using its Durability characteristic.
Goad:
This item gives +1 P or -1 P for rolls to determine the stance of a Beast who has targeted this gladiator, and +1 P
to Taunts made against a Beast.
Grapple:
If able to Grapple, a gladiator may declare their intention to do so immediately after causing a Damage Point
(but before saves) as part of a Close-Combat Attack (theirs or their opponents that they Counter). The Grappler
pulls their opponent into contact with the front of their base, maintaining current facings.
Both now count as Agility 0 for the duration of the Grapple. Neither gladiator may change Close-Combat or
Defence cards between turns, and both may only use the Close-Combat Attack action and have this card
automatically. This action can now only be used on their immediate opponent at the end of their own activation.
Whenever the Grappler is subsequently activated, instead of the movement element, both players roll a D6 and
add their Strength. The winner may move the pair the difference in inches in any direction. If the difference is
equal to or higher than their opponents Strength, they may instead place their opponent Prone. The Grapple
ends only when the Grappler completes an activation of theirs without beating their opponents CCS with a
Grapple attack or chooses not to use Grapple as part of their Close-Combat Attack.
Grappling Hook:
When a Damage Point is inflicted with this item as part of a Shooting Attack, the gladiator may choose to make
a Grappling Hook attack. Both now count as Agility 0 for the duration of the Grappling Hook attack. Neither
gladiator may change Close-Combat or Defence cards between turns. Whenever the attacker is subsequently
activated, instead of the movement and action elements, both players roll a D6 and add their Strength. The

31

winner may move themself the difference in inches either towards or away from their opponent, or move their
opponent the distance in inches towards them. If the difference is equal to or higher than their opponents
Strength, they may instead place their opponent Prone. The Grappling Hook attack ends only when the attacker
chooses or the line is broken (see below).
A Grappling Hook may instead be used to from a line of connection between any point of impact of a Shooting
Attack that is not a gladiator and the point upon which the user is standing if there is a height difference between
the two points. This line may be climbed as normal, moving along the line. In addition, a gladiator free to
choose to move a further 2 at the higher end of the line may choose to use it as a zip line and move along it up
to its full distance, taking fall damage as normal. In such a case, their Speed is increased by the difference in
height. Such a line will be destroyed by a 3+ injury roll.
Grave Lotus:
The drug known as Grave Lotus improves the users constitution, keeping them in the fight longer. An item
with Grave Lotus provides the gladiator with the number of Grave Lotus counters (see page 14) indicated in
parentheses on use.
Greave:
Greaves may only be equipped to legs, and only one Greave may be equipped to each leg.
Handheld:
Unless otherwise specified, Handheld items may only ever be equipped to arms, and only one such item may be
equipped per arm.
Hardpoint:
Some vehicles have Hardpoints. A Hardpoint allows one item to be Fixed (see page 30) to the vehicle. Such
items may only be used in the front arc. Empty Hardpoints may be Fixed with an item in the post-game phase.
1 Technical Point (see page 53) may be expended to break an item off a Hardpoint and put it back in the
Armoury.
Harness:
A Harness gives the gladiator -1 P if it is a Mount and has a rider. Harnesses must be equipped to the torso.
Headgear:
This item may only by equipped to the head.

32

Head to Head:
Damage Points from this item are always resolved against the head where possible.

Helmet:
This item may only by equipped to the head, and only one such item may be equipped per head.

Hypex:
When used, the gladiator may immediately move up to 2 in a straight line directly forwards.
Incisive Blow:
+1 to injury rolls.
Ineffectual Blow:
-1 to injury rolls.
Inverted:
Some Handheld items, particularly weapons, may be Inverted to change the effect, as noted on the card. A
sword, for instance, can be Inverted for the coup de gras. When equipping a card, simply turn it upside down to
indicate inversion. No re-orientation may be made unless the gladiator makes a Quick-Draw or Re-Equip
action.
Jump Pack:
Confers the Hovers gladiator special rule (see page 38).
Large Blast:
A Large Blast weapon does not cause damage in the normal way. Place the centre of a 5 round template over
the point of impact. Anything even partially touched by this template suffers a Damage Point if a D6 roll for
each satisfies the conditions stated in parentheses after the words Large Blast. For instance, Large Blast
(5+) would inflict one Damage Point on the roll of a 5+ to all under the template. If a characteristic is specified
(e.g. Large Blast (T)), simply take an appropriate characteristic test, applying a Damage Point for failure.
Any failed roll for damage must be re-rolled for things at least partially under the central hole. If the weapon is
also Blast, targets may be affected twice.
Launcher:
This item causes no direct damage from Shooting Attacks, but instead launches an item with Weight 25 or less
to the point of impact as a thrown weapon.
Legwear:
Legwear may only be equipped to legs.
Multiple Injuries:
Each Damage Point caused by this item is exchanged for the number of Damage Points indicated in parentheses,
after the roll on the Body Chart. Each Damage Point is then rolled for separately.

33

Multi-Shot:
When the Shooting Attack Action card is used with this weapons shooting profile, two consecutive Shooting
Attacks may be made.
Needs Bracing:
This item may only be used at Speed 0.
Nightmare:
This drug induces terror in its victims, making them easy prey. Each injury inflicted adds the number of
Nightmare counters (see page 14) to the victim indicated in parentheses. Multiple Injuries from the same attack
only add one set of counters.
Nitrous Oxide:
Some use nitrous oxide as a way of dealing with the realities of the gladiatorial arena. Others use it as a weapon
to crack weaker minds. Each injury inflicted adds the number of Nitrous Oxide counters (see page 14) to the
victim indicated in parentheses. Multiple Injuries from the same attack only add one set of counters. Use on
Equip items provide the counters for the user.
One Use Only:
When this item is used, it is moved to the Discard Pile. No One Use Only item may ever be recovered from a
Discard Pile for any reason.
Painbringer:
Painbringer is used to give gladiators a temporary boost of strength. An item with Painbringer provides the
gladiator with the number of Painbringer counters (see page 14) indicated in parentheses on use.
Poisoned:
Some weapons are spiked with poison to make sure even a glancing blow can finish an enemy. Each injury
inflicted adds the number of Poison counters (see page 14) to the victim indicated in parentheses. Multiple
Injuries from the same attack only add one set of counters.
Reel:
The item may be used to travel up Grappling Hook lines, inflicting damage as though they were travelling the
other way. The Grappling Hook line is removed after the Reel is used. In addition, if the gladiator uses a
Grappling Hook attack and wins the Strength roll-off, the difference counts as double.
Scope:
The Scope may confer the additional shooting modifier and all other special rules it has to non-thrown Shooting
Attacks made at Long Range by the item it is equipped to.
Servo-Enhancers:
Provided a Servo-Unit is equipped, each Servo-Enhancer increases the Weight a gladiator can carry without
penalty by 100 and the maximum Weight by 200.
Servo-Motors:
Provided a Servo-Unit is equipped, this item does not contribute to the Weight carried by the gladiator. Any
Mount must still carry the gladiators full Weight.

34

Servo-Unit:
A Servo-Unit is a necessary for some other rules to take effect.
Serpentin:
A dose of Serpentin allows a gladiator to move like a predator across the arena. An item with Serpentin
provides the gladiator with the number of Serpentin counters (see page 14) indicated in parentheses on use.
Sleeve:
Sleeves may only be equipped to arms, and only one such item may be equipped to each arm.
Soporifics:
Some weapons are imbued with soporifics that allow their wielders to tease out the fight for longer. Each injury
inflicted adds the number of Soporific counters (see page 14) to the victim indicated in parentheses. Multiple
Injuries from the same attack only add one set of counters.
Spaulder:
Spaulders may only be equipped to arms, and only one Spaulder may be equipped to each arm.
Spray:
A Spray weapon does not cause damage in the normal way. After determining the point of impact, place down
the thin end of the tear drop shaped template. Now determine a second point of impact in the normal manner by
choosing a new target. If the second point nominated happens to be out of range, simply move it so that it is just
within range before determining the point of impact. The thick end of the template is turned to face this second
point. Anything even partially touched by this template suffers 1 Damage Point if a D6 roll for each satisfies the
conditions stated in parentheses after the word Spray. For instance, Spray (5+) would inflict a Damage
Point on the roll of a 5+ to all under the template. If a characteristic is specified (e.g. Spray (T)), simply take
an appropriate characteristic test, applying a Damage Point for failure.
Squire:
This item provide one free Re-Equip action per turn, which can only be used on items in the Discard Pile, and
may be used in addition to the normal action taken by the gladiator.
Stealth Gear:
If a gladiator is wearing any Stealth Gear, all modifiers for them being obscured are doubled for Shooting
Attacks against them.
Suit:
Unless otherwise specified, Suits may only ever be equipped to torsos, and only one such item may be equipped
per torso.
Symbiotic Ammunition Feed:
Due to the extended birthing, incubating, or fermenting apparatus this organic weapon needs, the opposite limb
to which it is Fixed counts as having a Fixed item itself (see page 30). In addition, this item may not be used
unless that opposite limb remains functional.

35

Tactical Display:
This item confers the ability to draw line of sight to anything not within the rearward arc of the gladiator,
regardless of intervening obstacles. For Shooting Attacks, solid obstacles will still confer negative penalties for
cover.
Tail:
All Tails are Fixed (see page 30) to torsos.
Targeter:
This item may confer the additional shooting modifier and all other special rules it has to non-thrown Shooting
Attacks. Targeter modifiers are cumulative.
Tasset:
Tassets may only be equipped to legs, and only one Greave may be equipped to each leg.
Tracker:
Whilst equipped, Shooting Attacks gain a +1 bonus to hit if the shooting gladiator is not at Speed 0.
Tripping Hazard:
Whenever this weapon inflicts a Damage Point, the victim must take a test as if they had entered a Tripping
Hazard (see page 17).
Two-Handed:
A Two-Handed item counts as Handheld. It is equipped to one arm
but always requires an additional arm to be free of Handheld items, or
it is returned to the Pack immediately. Any Handheld item may be
wielded Two-Handed whenever an additional arm is free, without the
need to be specifically equipped as a Two-Handed item. To get
Around the Guard of a weapon wielded Two-Handed, an attack must
come from the rear arc.

Unarmed Combat:
These techniques are learnt martial arts. They are purchased in sets, with the specified cost being the total for
all cards of a particular set. All cards in a set must be given to the same gladiator upon purchase, and can never
be transferred nor removed by any rule that does not specifically mention Unarmed Combat. Whenever such a
card is to be Discarded, place it back into the gladiators Pack instead. Some Unarmed Combat cards may be
described as Handheld, merely indicating they cannot be used (that is, equipped) whilst a hand is otherwise
occupied. Unarmed Combat techniques can only be equipped to the body part indicated in parentheses in its
name.
Use on Equip:
The effects of this item are applied as soon as it is equipped, after which it is placed immediately into the
gladiators Pack. Each item may only ever be equipped once per turn. Re-Equip and Quick Draw actions may
continue after a Use on Equip action has been used.
Warp Jump Pack:
This item confers the ability to use warp dimensions to jump between locations on the material plane; that is, the
Warp Jump gladiator special rule (see page 45).

36

Static Gladiator Special Rules:

Battle-Hardened:
As soon as this gladiator is purchased, use a D66 to randomly determine one mutable special rule (see below)
for them.
Beast:
Some gladiators will have a special rule noting that they are Bestial. Beasts are designed to be completely out of
the control of any player, allowing them to be incorporated into games in a completely unbiased manner. Where
a situation requires a choice from a Beast not stipulated below, Beasts should behave impartially, in their own
interests of indiscriminate slaughter and/or self-preservation, or randomly where these principles are insufficient
to make a decision.
Order of activation a Beast of any Cult may be activated by any player in the normal sequence.
Card selection a Beast does not get assigned Engage, Action, or Defence cards at the beginning of the turn.
Instead they select cards in an automated way as the relevant situation arises (see below).
Target and Stance in its Status phase activation, each Beast must identify its target for that turn. The target is
ordinarily the closest visible gladiator of any Cult within 12, ignoring other Beasts from the same Cult. If
successfully Taunted, a Beast will ignore all other gladiators for the purposes determining its target whilst the
Taunt lasts. A Beast with no eligible target will increase their Speed as much as possible and move as fast as
possible towards the nearest potential target.
Any gladiator can freely choose in their own activation not to Engage a Beast that is not targeting them.
When the target has been chosen, the player must
determine which of two stances the Beast takes
towards its opponent. To do this, both the Beast and
the target roll a D6 and add their Presence. If the
targets total is higher, the Beast adopts the Stalker
stance. If not, it adopts the Enraged stance. Each
target makes only one roll, regardless of the number
of beasts targeting them. A Taunted Beast will
always be pass the Presence test and be Enraged;
there is no need to roll. Other than the above, Taunts
have no further effects on Beasts.

The Beast behaves differently according to its stance:

Enraged on this stance, the Beast acts first in the interest of causing as much damage as possible, and
only then in the interest of self-preservation. It is given a random Engage card out of Charge, Flank
Left, Flank Right, and Rampage, both the Close-Combat Attack and Shooting Attack Action cards, a
random Close-Combat card out of Mighty Blow and Slash, and the Counter Defence card. When it is
activated and not Engaged, it raises its Speed as much as possible, then its Readiness, and moves as fast
as possible towards its target, making a Shooting Attack if it cannot make a Close-Combat Attack.
Stalker on this stance, the Beast acts first in the interest of self-preservation, and only then in the
interest of causing as much damage as possible. It is given a random Engage card out of Flank Left,
Flank Right, Skirmish, and Stand Firm, both the Hit and Run and Shooting Attack Action cards, a
random Close-Combat card out of Slash and Stab, and the Evade Defence card. When it is activated
and not Engaged, it raises its Speed towards its Agility value, then its Readiness as much as possible,
and moves the minimum distance straight towards its target, making a Shooting Attack.

37

Bulky:
This gladiator suffers -1 to their SS when the target of a Shooting Attack.
Elite:
As soon as this gladiator is purchased, use a D66 to randomly determine three mutable special rules (see below)
for them.
Extra Seats:
Some Mounts (see page 40) are designated as having the number of extra seats indicated in parentheses. These
seats may be occupied by additional riders. All Close-Combat or Shooting attacks that hit a rider are
randomised between all the riders.
Where all riders belong to the same or friendly teams, the rider in control may by freely chosen. If riders belong
to different teams, no-one can truly control the Mount. A non-Bestial Mount will simply move its minimum
distance directly forward, without adjusting Speed or Readiness, whilst a Bestial Mount will automatically
behave exactly is if it beat its rider in the test for control.
Riders from different teams may make a Close-Combat Attack or Shooting Attack action against other riders of
the same Mount upon activation, but may not dismount in the same turn. Shooting Attacks thus performed will
hit the nominated, not a random, target.
Fast:
Fast gladiators maximum Speed is 1 plus twice their Agility, to the normal maximum of 9, and they may
choose to add 1 to any Speed increase. The following rules only apply when the gladiator is moving at Speeds
only made possible by the Fast special rule:
When not Engaged, they can only decrease their Speed by 2 points, unless they are also a Mechanical Mount
(see page 39), in which case they decelerate by D6. They may never choose the Close-Combat Attack, Double
Strike, Feint, or Quick Draw Action cards and treat the Skirmish Engage card as a Tripping Hazard. When not
Engaged, they must move their minimum distance before turning. They will automatically fail a Tripping
Hazard test if this forces them into contact with Impassable terrain. They may not turn more than 90 to face an
opponent in an Engagement, nor may perform a Pirouette or Skirmish. If called upon to do any of these, they
will instead move directly forward until they are just over 4 from the centre of the Engagement, not modifying
Readiness or Speed, and are unable to make a Close-Combat Attack. In addition, when Disengaging they may
choose to move directly forwards instead of the shortest route, and may never turn more than 90.
Fights Unencumbered:
This gladiator relies on speed and agility to fight, quickly losing effectiveness when covered in equipment. If
the gladiator carries over 100 Weight, they have a -1 A modifier an addition to any other penalties.
Hovers:
This gladiator always counts as one level higher than normal and treats height differences as half their actual
value for the purposes of jumping down levels. Difficult and Uneven ground on the level below is ignored, and
Tripping Hazards on the level below may be ignored if an Agility test is passed. A gladiator who can Hover
cannot climb.
Hovering gladiators attacking non-Hovering gladiators have a -2 CCS penalty if using a weapon with Near
Reach, or a-1 CCS penalty if using a weapon with Fair Reach. Far Reach weapons are unaffected.
Juggernaut:
This gladiator will never Engage in its own activation, and counts as Immobile when Engaged, although its
Speed is never modified. In addition, each gladiator this gladiator moves over during its activation, or which it

38

ends its move in base contact with, must take an Agility test for each point of Speed the Juggernaut has. Each
failed test inflicts 1 Damage Point.
If a Juggernaut that is also a Beast becomes Enraged, it ignores its target and stomps over the maximum number
of gladiators possible, moving no further than needed to do this.
Massive:
This gladiator suffers -5 to their SS when the target of a Shooting Attack.
Mechanical Mount:
Counts as a Mount (see page 40).
In addition, it is always Incapacitated if it ever ends
a turn without a rider, first taking damage as if it had
failed a Tripping Hazard test, and counts as Stunned
without a rider. It never gains or gives away
Prestige, and Prestige from damage it causes is given
to its rider. Nothing may be equipped to it unless
Fixed by some specifically stated means. Any rider,
however, has free access to its pack and may move
items between Packs with the Re-Equip Action card.
A Mechanical Mount always uses its riders WS,
BS, A, and P, except for the purpose of determining
maximum Speed.
A Mechanical Mounts Weight is Sx100.
Damage a Mechanical Mount is treated exactly as
a gladiator with one Status Screen space. Injuries to
the Mechanical Mount are always resolved on the
chart below:

Mechanical Faults:
1 Rocked lose D6 Speed and D6 Readiness.

full current Speed if Fast.

7+ Explosion Serious Fault. Treat as a Critical
Failure. In addition, all models within its starting
Strength in inches suffer 1 Damage Point.

The only things that are kept in its Mechanical Record (which replaces the Medical Record) are Serious Faults.
These may be treated with TPs (Technical Points), not MPs.

39

Moving when its rider elects to modify Speed at the beginning of their activation, their Speed is modified by
D6 in the chosen direction. This D6 may be rerolled if the Rider passes an Agility test.
Mount:
If something is a Mount but currently has no rider, a Humanoid gladiator within 1 of it may get up onto it by
passing an Agility test at the end of their activation if they were not Engaged. A team may also be entered into a
game with gladiators declared to be already Mounted. If the rider is ever thrown from the Mount, place them 1
from the Beast in a random direction and treat them as if they failed a Tripping Hazard test. Incapacitating the
Mount, causing it to be Prone, or successfully Grappling the rider all cause the rider to be thrown. A Mount is
treated as failing a Tripping Hazard test if it ever exceeds its Weight capacity whilst Mounted. A rider may
voluntarily dismount without penalty at the beginning of their activation, in which case they are placed
anywhere within 1 of the Mount, and the Mount counts as not having been activated and immediately chooses
cards as normal.
The rider contributes to the Weight carried by the Mount all the Weight they carry plus 50xT. Any rider has
free access to the Mounts pack and may move items between Packs with the Re-Equip Action card.
Rider and Mount count as a single gladiator controlled by the riders Cult. Only the rider selects which cards
may be activated each turn. Neither rider nor Mount may Engage one another. The combined model uses the
Mounts profile for all movement, and, during its activation and any other Engagements, may make an Action
according to eithers Action card, but not both during a single activation. They only ever have one Speed and
Readiness score between them, which carries over only to the Mount if they are separated.
Damage from Close-Combat or Shooting Attacks is randomised between rider and Mount by a D6 roll: 1-3
Mount, 4-6 Rider. A gladiator making a Close-Combat Attack against them may choose attempt to modify this
roll instead of the body chart roll. Damage from other sources, or Blast, Large Blast, or Spray weapons, counts
Mount and rider as two models occupying the same space.
Riders are free to make Close-Combat Attacks against their Mount, even though they can never be Engaged.
Simply resolve the Action card against the Mount at any point during their activation.
If the Mount is also a Beast, upon its activation it will automatically target its rider, rolling as normal. If the
Beasts roll is less than its riders, instead of becoming a Stalker, the Beast rule is ignored for that turn. If the
Beasts roll equals or beats the riders, the Rider must pass an Agility test to avoid being thrown. The Beast
then selects a new target in the normal manner to be automatically Enraged at, ignoring any rider it still has, but
not a rider it has thrown. A gladiator riding an Enraged Beast can do nothing that turn apart from cling on
frantically. The Beast behaves as if there were no rider. Mounted Beasts attacked by their riders in the previous
activation will automatically be Enraged, potentially throwing their riders.
Puny:
This gladiator receives +1 to their SS when the target of a Shooting Attack.
Quadruped:
Quadrupeds may optionally be mounted on rectangular bases, in which case their arcs are worked out by
drawing a line corner to corner.
All Quadrupeds are Mounts (see page 40).
Quadrupeds may not climb.
Quadrupeds have their own body chart and injury tables:

Damage Points sustained from sources in the right arc get +1 to rolls on the chart, whilst those from sources in
the left arc get -1.
The injury tables corresponding to the Quadruped body chart are as follows:

Head:
1 Damaged Headgear randomly determine a
single item equipped to the head and place it in the
Discard Pile. If the gladiator has no headgear then
treat this result as Head Wound.
2 Head Wound this results in Loss of Blood.
3-4 Dazed the gladiator is Stunned and must
pass a Presence test to avoid being placed Prone.
5 Enucleation Serious Injury. This Serious
Injury is unique in that it can be sustained twice.
Each Enucleation results in Loss of Blood. The
first time this injury is sustained reduce the
gladiators WS, BS and A by 1. The second

Veteran:
As soon as this gladiator is purchased, use a D66 to randomly determine two mutable special rules (see below)
for them.
Warp Jump:
The Disengage action allows this gladiator to leave an Engagement by reappearing anywhere within 12, facing
any direction, with no adjustment of Speed or Readiness.
If not Engaged, the gladiator may use the Disengage Action card to forego their normal move and adjustment of
Speed and Readiness and reappear anywhere within 12 facing any direction.

45

Mutable Gladiator Special Rules:

These rules can be gained or lost in between games, as stipulated below. All conditions are considered with
regards to the last game only, and are designed around memorable moments that will hopefully be lodged in the
players minds anyway. Even where you would like to put certain events down to the whims of fortune,
coliseum crowds see it otherwise and delight in legends of exaggerated valour and shame.
Not all mutable rule categories are considered after each game. Only three categories are chosen per gladiator,
one by the controlling player, one by an opponent, and the Universal category. Rules not in these categories
cannot be gained or lost.
There are six categories of mutable special rule, each with six entries. Thus they may be randomly selected with
a D66 if required. The categories are:
Athleticism:
Clumsy it may be just the nerves, but staying on their feet seems enough of a challenge in itself for this
gladiator.
-1 A.
Gain condition: Become Incapacitated by your own movement element.
Loss condition: Avoid a Tripping Hazard whilst moving at Speed 3 or higher.
Dodge it is said that your reflexes are so fast that even the shots from a lasgun are too slow to find you.
You may re-roll any 1s when determining your SS for a Shooting Attack against you.
Gain condition: Successfully dodge a Shooting Attack with a double six SS roll.
Loss condition: Fail to dodge a Shooting Attack with a double one SS roll.
Flat-Footed this gladiator often does not even see the attacker who floors them.
-1 A.
Gain condition: Be Incapacitated by an opponent moving at Speed 6 or higher whilst at Speed 0.
Loss condition: Incapacitate an opponent at Speed 4 or higher whilst moving at Speed 4 or higher.
Lithe the gladiator appears to move their body like a liquid, flowing easily from one position to another.
+1 A.
Gain condition: Successfully Evade with a double six CCS roll.
Loss condition: Fail to Evade with a double one CCS roll.
Master/Mistress of the Dance this gladiator is so in tune with their surroundings that multiple enemies do
not cause the slightest concern, with parries and dodges flowing so smoothly that one would swear that they had
choreographed their enemies.
The gladiator may attempt to pass a Presence test in order to change Engage cards after their opponents is
revealed.
Gain condition: Successfully fend off at least three Close-Combat Attacks (beat the CCS of an attacker) in a
single turn without failing to fend off a Close-Combat Attack that turn.

Beastmaster this gladiator can command beasts with seeming ease.
A Beastmaster has +2 P or -2 P for rolls to determine the stance of a Beast who has targeted this gladiator and
for Taunts made against a Beast. However, if the Beastmaster chooses to forego this bonus before any roll is
made, they may either change that Beasts target to absolutely any other gladiator, rolling again to determine
stance, or they may force the Beast to do nothing at all this turn apart from Engaging a gladiator who freely
chooses to Engage it in their turn. In addition, if the Beast is part of a team entered that includes the
Beastmaster (see page 52) and the Beastmaster manages to cow the Beast into the Stalker stance, they may
choose either option even if they took the bonus. During their own activation, a Beastmaster may choose not to
be Engaged with any Beast Stalking them. Finally, all Beasts entered into a game as part of the same team as a
Beastmaster are conditioned to work with their master, and target their Beastmaster over all other gladiators
whenever the Beastmaster wishes, including when they are not visible but still within 12.
Gain condition: Incapacitate three or more Beasts in one game in which the gladiator is not Incapacitated.

counter as two when it comes to removing counters. A gladiator must, however, use a final odd successful roll
to remove a Nitrous counter. Thus three 4+s would dissipate two Nitrous Oxide counters.
Gain condition: End a game with 6 or more Nitrous Oxide counters.
Loss condition: Have no Nitrous Oxide counters for one whole game.
Traumatised your mind is broken.
-1 P.
Gain condition: Be reduced to P 0 at any point during a game.

Sampson flung the T-blade around at the wych with an exaggerated motion,
half intended to keep the monster at bay but also in the hope of moving his
sweat-soaked hair from his eyes. His right hand was occupied clinging onto
the impaler he had been given to try to defeat this horror, but ten long
minutes in the scorching arena had convinced him this was an impossible
task.
The nightmare darted forward, forcing Sampson to thrust out the impaler
in desperation.
Effortlessly avoiding the blow, the lithe creature
changed tack and leapt up to plant one foot squarely on the extended
weapon, its weight pulling the human forward and driving his spear into
the ground. A spin-kick to the chest sent Sampson flying backwards,
leaving his primary weapon stuck in the sand. Yet instantly upon hitting
the ground, Sampson worked his sprawling limbs furiously to scramble
into a fighting stance, desperate to prove he was worth toying with a little
longer. But the wych had not moved; obviously it realised there was still
entertainment value here. With a nod it commanded the human to charge.
Sampson rushed forward, panting with a crushed chest that seemed barely
capable of containing any air. The alien had by now begun the charge too,
accelerating with a graceful loping gait that kept little contact with the
arena floor. With only the T-blade on his forearm Sampson had no plan,
but fortunately the wych took the initiative, launching into the air and
raising a curved knife in its right hand, left arm swinging across its body as
it coiled itself to strike.
Sampson reacted instinctively, swivelling his shoulders to face the threat
and flinging his protected left forearm up to cover his face, hoping the
glint of the sharp blade would dissuade the attack. It did. The alien
opened its right hand, letting the knife fall. It swiped at it with its left
arm, batting it out behind Sampsons line of vision, before its hand darted
back in from the left and left it embedded in the back of the humans neck.
The wych landed with no weapon in its hands, spinning away beyond the
dead human. The noise of the crowd swelled the thrill of bloodlust in its
heart, sending palpable waves of strength and power coursing through its
body. Crouching, it glanced around furtively; already looking for fresh
prey to slake its awakening thirst.

Dynasties
Concept:
A Dynasty is a way of playing the game to link the combats you have together. When playing to establish their
own dynasty, players each get to found their own Wych Cult and guide it through the politics and backstabbing
that is part of daily life in Commorragh. These Cults hire gladiators, buy equipment, and hold games at their
coliseum, all in order to become the most valuable Cult within a set amount of time, be it ten games, ten
sessions, a few months, or a year.
A Cults value is calculated by adding the value of all equipment, gladiators, currently owned assets, and so on
to any banked Credits (C). The value of starting equipment is included in the Slave Market price for each
gladiator. Adjustments have to be made to this where such equipment is lost.
A starting budget for each Cult of about 20 000C is recommended. A portion of this budget might be reserved
for prize funds to host games (see below).
The Dynasty campaign is organised into turns. Roll-off to see in what order players take their turns. The first
Dynasty turn begins at the Preparation phase, below.

Pre-Game:
When it is their turn, each player must organise a game, offering their coliseum as a venue. This is done by
creating a scenario and then setting down a prize in Credits at their own discretion. The host must also now set
up their arena with the Coliseum Equipment you wish to use. The value of this equipment must not exceed the
prize fund. In addition, the host may set up any Beasts they have in their arena.
The host Cult then seeks a Champion team from the other Cults or may provide one themselves. The maximum
value of each team entering is the value of the prize. The value of a team is the Black Market cost of its
gladiators, minus the cost of any starting equipment they no longer have, added to the value of any new
equipment. If the host chooses not to put forward a Champion team, roll-off to see in what order the nonhosting players get the opportunity to put forward a team. A specific team of gladiators (selected according to
the scenario) is offered. After all players have had their first opportunity, any may subsequently put forward a
Champion team if one is still required. If all players decline interest, the host must provide a Champion team.
Challenging teams as appropriate to the scenario are then sought from among the remaining Cults, skipping out
the Champion, but proceeding in the same order. A similar offer of a team can be made. After all players have
had their first opportunity, any may subsequently put forward a Challenging team if any are still required. If no
Challenger comes forward, the host must enter a team.
The host has the right to reject any team they feel is not up to scratch. This decision may be appealed through a
trial by combat. In such a case, the original game does not take place, but a straightforward last-man-standing
contest is fought between the rejected team and a team of the hosts choosing, picked with the same restrictions.
No normal revenues are earned, but the loser must pay the victor an amount equal to the original prize.
Note that each Cult may only enter one team in any game. The only exception is that the host may field one
Champion team and one Challenging team if and only if no other players offer a Challenging team. In rare
cases, this may mean that no game occurs.
Before the game begins, the host may accept bets on the outcome of the game from any non-competing Cult at
odds of their own choosing. These bets can only ever be on the winner of the game as specified by the scenario,
and can only back the host if the host is participating.

52

Post-Game:
Every Cult that entered a team in the game and the host participate in the games post-game phase.
Cults with the right to participate in the post-game phase may initiate deals to buy or sell items with any other
Cult with terms at their own discretion.
The post-game phase comprises of the following sub-phases:
Modifying Prestige:
Every gladiators Prestige (including that of Beasts not part of a team) is modified as follows:
Part of a team accepted for a game
Inflicting an injury
Incapacitating an opponent with Prestige

Taunt an opponent successfully

Wins a game
Is Incapacitated

+1
+1 per injury
+1 per starting Prestige point (divided equally amongst team
members in all opposing teams who have ended the game
without being Incapacitated)
+1
+5
Prestige is halved (rounding up, after all other changes)

In practise, it is easiest to keep a note of this during each game.

Equipment Recovery:
Much of the equipment discarded in a game will be lost or damaged beyond repair. For each item in their
gladiators Discard Pile, a player must roll the indicated Durability score on a D6, as shown on the card. If
successful, return the card to the Pack of that gladiator to be used in future games. If failed, discard the card and
item completely.
All equipped cards are moved to the gladiators Pack.
Recover Injuries:
A player may assign any Medical Points (MPs) available to the Cult to their gladiators body parts in any
desired combination. This includes gladiators who have not participated in this game. In addition, each body
part that has a Serious Injury sustained during this game is also assigned 1 free MP. Then a D6 is rolled for
each MP. If an MP roll assigned to a body part equals or beats on the relevant injury table the value of a Serious
Injury, then that injury is healed and removed. Any D6 may only ever heal one Serious Injury, but you may
freely decide what injury each dice counts towards. All injuries that are not Serious are healed automatically.
Coma injuries (see page 15) may be allocated MPs as if they were their own body part (including the free point),
requiring a score of 4 or more to heal.
A gladiator who would still be at Strength or Toughness 0 or less is considered dead, and instantly removed
from play altogether. Any equipment in their Pack is transferred to the Armoury.
Technical Points (TPs) are used in the same manner to fix mechanical faults, but no free TPs are generated.
Gaining and Losing Skills:
Now is the time to check whether your gladiators have learnt a new skill to be added to their Profile until further
notice. Consult the Mutable Gladiator Special Rules list (see page 46).

53

Earnings:
The combined Prestige of the winning team determines the earnings of the host. To break even, there should be
4 points of Prestige per 500C prize. All earnings are worked out as percentages of the prize, shown in the
following table:
Prestige points per 500C:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8+

Percentage of prize:
25%
50%
75%
100%
125%
150%
175%
200%

Calculate the value to look up by dividing total Prestige of the winning team by the prize, and then multiplying
that by 500C, rounding down.
Each full 500C of Coliseum Equipment and Bestial gladiator not part of a team used increases earnings by 5%,
to a maximum of 250%.
All prizes and bets are then distributed as appropriate. Any host who wins in their own arena must give half the
prize away, distributed between all other teams evenly. Such practice is usually enough to allay suspicions of
overly foul play.

Preparation:
All Cults that participated in the game may have a Preparation phase.
The Black Market:
Players may now spend Credits earned on the Black Market and/or sell items in the Armoury or in any
gladiators Pack for more Credits. Any item not from the Slave Market can be resold in the Black Market now.
Gladiators are considered damaged goods and can only be sold to another Wych Cult. Any unused Credits are
stored in the Cults Treasury and used in subsequent turns. All brought items are put into the Cults Armoury.
Items marked as Rare availability cannot be purchased freely. Each Cult has access to D3+1 Rare items after
each game, randomly selected from the Rare Items Chart. These items are not free and must be bought with
Credits there and then, or are lost in the Black Market once more. New Cults do not roll on the Rare Items
Chart, but may freely purchase up to four Rare items, along with the maximum number of multiples where
listed, and a free choice starting equipment as listed for Rare gladiators.
Arming for Battle:
There are three ways an item may be moved from a gladiators Pack to the Cults Armoury. First, as mentioned
above, a dead gladiator bequeaths their equipment to the Cult. Second, a gladiator may be sold in the previous
sub-phase, in which case all equipment is either moved to the selling Cults Armoury or sold with the gladiator.
Finally, if a player does not sell the gladiator but wishes to reassign their equipment, then the jealous and
capricious gladiators must be given equipment to the same value of any items removed to the Armoury. If this
is not done, the gladiator must be paid the difference; the amount is removed from the Treasury and never seen
again. Items may be freely moved from the Armoury to any gladiators Pack. All this can only be done in this
sub-phase.
Note, however, that any gladiator can choose to temporarily leave behind any equipment that is not Fixed for the
duration of a game. Such equipment will not count towards the teams value, is replaced automatically after the
game, and must be declared as the gladiator is named as a part of a team.

This sample Cult is provided over the next few pages to show you everything you might wish to consider when setting up your own Cult.
This does not mean your Cult need share anything like the same composition. The Swooping Furies, for example, contains no
Mechanical Mounts or monstrous creatures, both of which are great gladiator types to play with. Players may also wish to focus more
heavily on elite fighters, beasts, or hordes of slaves. Each may prove an effective style of play. The limited initial selection of Rare items
can help you specialise, either by gearing up a unique fighter or by pushing your Cult to an extreme with the Artificial Intelligence
Expert, Beast-Keeper, Reaver Alpha, or Recycler Cult Assets (see page 91).

57

Game Set-Ups
It is the responsibility of each Wych Cult to set the rules of engagement for each game held in their arena. A
successful Cult will attract prestigious gladiators to its coliseum with innovative challenges and ample prize
funds that more than compensate for the dangers incurred. What follows are merely ideas and templates for
creating entertaining spectacles. Remember that a Wych Cult functions not to eliminate the competition, but to
outdo them in satiating the bloodlust of the baying masses. A cunning Succubus can advance their cause even
in coliseum games their Cult has no part in, reaping the benefits of anothers glory.
Creativity aside, any unorthodox awarding of Prestige or similar tweaks affecting the ongoing Dynasty must be
agreed upon by all before teams are chosen. No team restrictions may be chosen that make it impossible for a
Cult to participate unless sufficient notice is given so as to allow every Cult chance to purchase the perquisites.
In addition, it is established tradition for the host to have the last choice of starting position if competing.

58

Duel:
Premise:
The duel is the simplest and purest form of gladiatorial sport; a true test of skill and nerve that always keeps the
crowd enthralled.
Teams:
One Champion and one Challenger, selected as normal. Only one gladiator per team.
Set-Up:
A selection of traps and obstacles, evenly placed, selected by the host.
The gladiators enter from two entrances placed opposite one another.
Victory Conditions:
The game continues until one gladiator is Incapacitated. The remaining gladiator is the winner.
Suggested Variations:

Two-man tag teams.

Multiple Challengers.
Mounted gladiators only.
Unarmed combat.
Identical, predefined equipment sets.
No ranged weapons.
Only ranged weapons.
Deadly environment.
Fight to the death (Incapacitated gladiators automatically count as dead).

59

Challenge:
Premise:
Challenges take many forms, but the common factor seems to be that the odds are stacked against the
challengers. Recent challenges have included teams of Wyches being invited to take on the captured Imperial
Fist Captain Rogal Storm, the obstacle course devised by Morgath Manflayer, and a round of unarmed combat
against a full herd of hand-reared grots. Few prizes are ever claimed.
Teams:
One Champion and any predetermined number of Challengers. Whilst the Challengers teams are always
selected as normal, the Champion team can be the normal value or equal in value to all Challengers combined,
as best fits the scenario.
Set-Up:
The host sets up the challenge, as appropriate.
Victory Conditions:
If there is only one Challenger, they win if they beat the challenge. This need not be Incapacitation of all
opponents; it could be surviving a set number of turns, pressing a big red button, landing a single blow, or any
other such feat.
If there is more than one challenger, the winner is either the first team to achieve the objective (if Challengers
compete simultaneously), or the team which does the best (if Challengers compete one after another).
Suggested Variations:

Complete one challenge to advance to the next level.

Obstacle course.
Survive the horde.
Collect the treasure.

He tugged the reins left and scanned the sand below for targets. Something was twitching.
He dug his knee into the pressure pad on the collar and the quad-barrelled autocannon
opened up. It pounded both body and sand to a roiling liquid before spraying on upward and
taking chunks out the arena wall. Flashes from the void shield were the only thing that kept
the blood-intoxicated onlookers safe. The stupid beast couldnt handle the recoil. Hed have
to take things down to two guns in the workshop later.
A series of loud, metallic impacts alerted him to the fact that at least one Marine was still
alive behind them, its bolter shells bouncing harmlessly of the ceramite plates of his mount.
He wheeled around and goaded the creature forward. Two Marines were standing. One
seemed to disappear under a tank-sized hoof, the other the screeching creature scooped up in
a bionic power claw, before tossing the cracked open treat into its mouth.
Suddenly, an explosion rocked the beast, then another. He looked down. Poisonous ichor
gushed down from multiple wounds as the beast stamped, reared, and squealed. A battered
Marine was climbing ever higher up its left flank, leaping with impossible speed from
handhold to handhold and leaving grenade after grenade lodged in the beasts armour and
flesh. His eyes widened. Incredibly, he may have backed the wrong beast. Small they might be,
but this thing seemed to think nothing of being crushed underfoot and was clearly unfazed
clinging onto the swaying, dying Tyranid. The rider draw a sword from his back and vaulted
down the carapace. This would have to be settled the old fashioned way.

60

Beast Mastery:
Premise:
Vicious animals will always provide ways to keep things interesting, and their blind instincts allow the host to
compete alongside others.
Teams:
No Champion and one or more Challengers, selected as normal.
Set-Up:
A selection of traps, obstacles, and ample Beasts selected by the host. Starting positions predetermined by the
host.
Victory Conditions:
Surviving teams after a predetermined turn limit share the prize.
Suggested Variations:

Last gladiator standing.

No attacks between competing gladiators.
Single monsters.
Packs of hounds.
Staggered entry.
King of the Beasts (the winner is the gladiator Mounted on the highest value Beast at the end of the
game).
Hunt (winner determined by pelts taken).

61

Race:
Premise:
Races in Commorragh are not the civilised, bloodless affairs of elsewhere. Getting from A to B quickly will
often entail removing opponent C who stands in your way and then accidentally impaling yourself on obstacle D
as you turn a corner.
Teams:
One Champion and one or more Challenger, selected as normal.
Set-Up:
The course is set up by the host, preferably with a suitable selection of explosives, spikes, and fanged beats
along the way.
Victory Conditions:
The winner is the first team to complete all the objectives. A basic objective might be to pass between two
points a set number of times.
Suggested Variations:

Chase (the first to catch the quarry wins).

Chase (the first quarry to be caught looses).
Bulldog (gladiators must pass continuously between two points in a set time or be disqualified. Beasts
prowl between).
Speed hunting (a grot is forcefully propelled into the area at random and flees from everyone. Its killer
earns one point. Then repeat. The highest scoring team is the winner. Some Cults give the grot jet
packs or use winged prey).

Khor Onghor scented the prey ahead. A gleaming orange jetbike, Wych
rider bent low, dodging between flames, gladiators, and spike traps. These
Eldar were fools, thinking that their invented technologies could outstrip
millennia of hard-fought genetic adaption. Khor Onghor had imbibed the
evolutionary triumphs of a score of the galaxys fastest creatures, from
the razorwing scavengers so beloved of the Beastmasters to the lithe
Eldar themselves. His knarloc steed was the product of a thousand
generations breeding, honing it ever sleeker, more deadly, and more
efficient. What Reaver could boast that?
He was gaining on it. Weaving those obstacles did nothing but slow it
down. Infinitesimally, to be sure, but his eyes could tell. His beast bounded
from point to point, ripping the flamer from the arena wall, crushing the
axe-wielding ork at the Cerberus poll, but always pushing on and gaining
speed.
He ducked a hastily aimed pistol from ahead, eyes instinctively focusing on
the tiny, metallic dart as it flashed passed. He could have scooped it out
the air, he mused at a push. But now was the time for focus. He crouched
lower in the saddle, moving with the ripples of the beasts stride. The heat
from the jetbikes exhaust flared in three of his senses as it drew near. It
could fry him if a mistake was made now. Instead, he casually reached out
his rifle and hooked the muzzle blade around a thin neck. Catching it, his
thigh twitched to jump the beast left. The chase had ended once more.

62

Ball Sports:
Premise:
Just because the Dark Eldar like their sport bloody doesnt mean a few balls flying around go unappreciated.
Teams:
One Champion and one Challenger, selected as normal.
Set-Up:
A selection of traps and obstacles, evenly placed, selected by the host. Two end zones at opposite ends of the
arena.
One Ball in the centre, provided by the host.
The Ball is represented by a model. It can by equipped by any gladiator who moves over it. It may never go in
a Pack or Discard Pile, but scatters D6 from the gladiator when discarded. It may be passed using the rules for
thrown weapons. Any Damage Point inflicted upon the Ball carrier will cause the ball to be dropped. If the Ball
carrier enters the opposition end zone, they score one point and the ball is returned to the centre.
Gladiators earn 5 Prestige for each point they score.
Victory Conditions:
The winner is the highest scoring team after a set turn limit.
Suggested Variations:

Limited team size.

Allow higher team values.
Smaller end zones, but no possession required to score.
No weapons (boo!).
Exploding ball.

63

Tilt:
Premise:
Charging past an opponent at high speed attempting to knock them off their mount is certainly an old past-time,
but one that has immeasurably improved with the introduction of jet propulsion and power weaponry. Though
few count them amid the carnage, points are nevertheless awarded for style and skill.
Teams:
One Champion and one or more Challengers. All gladiators must be in pairs of rider and Mount.
Set-Up:
The arena should be clear, with just one barrier running down the centre. There should be space to turn at either
end, so the combatants may swap sides.
The barrier may not be crossed in any way. All combatants can do is move parallel to the barrier, remaining
within 1 of it. They may only attempt to turn when they reach the end of the barrier, and must move back
down the opposite side.
No Shooting Attacks may be made outside of an Engagement. Engagements are resolved differently. Instead of
using an Engage card, resolve any actions that are part of the Engagement and then move the gladiators their
Speed directly forward if they are still Mounted.
Gladiators begin at opposite ends of the barrier, facing parallel to the barrier, with the end of the barrier to their
left-hand side.
Victory Conditions:
The game is organised into bouts, as befits the number of predetermined teams. Each bout sees two pairs of
rider and Mount fight.
Each bout ends either when one rider is Incapacitated or one rider has turned around the end of the barrier for
the sixth time.
If either rider is Incapacitated, the other team wins the bout. If not, the rider not thrown wins the bout. If this
cannot decide a bout, the gladiator who inflicted the most Damage Points wins. If there is still no winner, the
gladiators make another pass.
The winner of the game is the team who wins the final bout, or the most bouts, as decided beforehand.
Suggested Variations:

Bestial Mounts only.

More Shooting Attacks.
To the death.
Deadly obstacles.

The finest beast-rider of Commorragh is the famed Succubus RoKebeth

Phar. In each contest she has entered, she has wrested control of her
opponents stead, leaping from saddle to saddle, before turning the beast
upon its helpless former master. This prize she then rides into the arena for
the next tilt, leaving the last beast to her followers, the Voices of Thunder.

64

The Black Market of Commorragh:

The Black Market of Commorragh is a vast web of greedy merchants drifting in and out of the city with exotic
and alien wares. Weapons, slaves, and combat drugs are forced upon your Cults traders at every turn. A good
Cult Master must sort through the chaff to find those rare items of extraordinary value: captured Space Marines
or Carnifexes, blood-boiling poisons, master-crafted force weapons and the like.
Items from the Black Market can be brought using your Cults Credits. The numbers given before an items
name in its description represent the restrictions on how many a single Cult can own at one time. If there is no
number, there are no restrictions. If a Cult transgresses the restrictions for whatever reason, immediate sales
must be made to rectify the situation.
Items marked as Rare availability cannot be purchased freely, but become available as described above. Items
marked as Special availability cannot be purchased at all, neither can they be equipped by any other gladiator
than their original owner. Common items may be purchased freely. Common items of equipment may be found
at the end of the book, with the other item cards.

Succubus RhaeKhir glided over the smoking battlefield. Burnt out Chimeras sat silhouetted
in the dusky sky, the bodies of their occupants invisible to all but these night predators as
they lay broken on the dark ground. Here and there was the husk of a green Rhino too: the
mark of their tougher opponents. One, apparently, held some precious cargo. RhaeKhir
licked her lips in anticipation. And to think she had dreaded the first glimpse of green and
bark of bolters. How ashamed she was now. She would have to enter the arena herself, one
on one. dispel any rumours. What a spectacle it would be.
She leapt from the Venom as it banked around the woods edge, her Bloodbrides springing to
life like awoken gargoyles, swooping down after her. They landed with as much noise as had
heralded their first attack. None. Their Succubus sprang lightly onto the Rhinos pockmarked roof and lowered herself inside. There, a hulking armoured figure sat sprawled
forward over a smashed console. She moved forward, her breath held. A pace from the
control panel, a grinning Haemonculus looked up. He held a scanner over the Marine, and it
was beating out a silent, steady pulse. They had a prisoner.
Pack him up carefully, Faeastor, she hissed, Should he die before were home I shall not
let you follow him so quickly.
Yes, yes, Dame the Haemonculus muttered, fascination fixed by this new, extraordinary
subject. Every single augmentation fully functioning; Ive never seen such a marvel
before.
Nervously, she toyed with the idea of changing that slightly, improving her odds a little. But
no, she would have to kill Faeastor too, and that would endanger the prize. She was no
alien filth who should fear risking all at such an opportunity. She would fight this out.

Not all slaves of a Wych Cult are thrown into the arena. Armourers
require skilled hands to maintain, clean, and catalogue their dizzying
array of weapons. Beastmasters do not stoop so low as to muck out their
charges enclosures or lug around carcasses for feeding. The most
successful gladiators are gifted underlings to care for their every whim.
Heralds are needed to draw in the crowds, vendors to serve them, and
enforcers to control their exuberance. Any of these humble roles is an
answered prayer for a terrified slave at the moment of capture, but it is a
mistake to believe their troubles are over. Weapons need testing, beasts
need to acquire new tastes, and gladiators will lash out with practiced
deadliness when angered. No slave is safe, even for a minute, where their
worth is measured by the hundred.
Yet a few such slaves do manage, by some freak combination of guile and
fortune, to rise to the top and achieve the favour of their masters. The
Kroot Shaper AngRok, it was rumoured, was so adept at seeing hidden
potential in the slave markets that three successive owners faked his
death, lest his presence at auction raise prices a hundredfold. A price of
a thousand Raiders was paid to Archon Aestra Khromys for the services
of an ork Mekboy who had reportedly perfected the Shokk Attack Gun.
Snotlings can be seen flying around the Blades of Mournings arena to
this day, pursued by immensely skilled Reavers. Many such slaves are the
subjects of much intrigue, their soaring value becoming too much for
their owners to handle and their ultimate downfall. Indeed, success is
guarantee of safety: the extraordinary geneticist Petr Krank was
instantly beheaded by his Succubus, along with all present, upon
reporting his successful crossbreeding of human and ork the Eldar too
scared for her own safety in possessing such a hot asset.
If any lesson can be taken from these examples, it must be that the life of
a fighting gladiator in Commorragh is not the worst fate that could
befall a captive. At least the arena provides an opportunity to fight
death blade in hand, and, perhaps, an opportunity to taste a few sweet
triumphs before the inevitable end. But one thing can be said for sure.
The end is inevitable. No-one escapes Commorragh.

Long-Range Cerberus Poll and Cerberus Collar a metal poll about 7 high with a proximity
detector. Should any heat signature intrude within its range, it sends a signal to the nearby Cerberus Collar,
which immediately stops emitting its sedative frequencies. The unfortunate wearer then jerks awake, dazed and
confused, but usually ready for blood. This model has a much greater range compared to its more common
counterpart.
The Cerberus Poll is mounted on a 40 or 50mm round base. When it is deployed, choose a gladiator from your
Cult not participating in the game yet (that is, not part of a team you have entered) to wear the Cerberus Collar.
Deploy this gladiator anywhere within 6 of the Poll. Due to the neural stimuli, if they do not have it already
the gladiator gains the Beast special rule for that game only. The Collar prevents the gladiator from being
activated unless there is another gladiator within 6 of the Poll. As soon as a gladiator moves within 6 of the
Poll, the Cerberus Collar begins to stir its wearer; immediately rotate the wearer to face the new threat and
change its Speed and Readiness to 3. The wearer cannot move out of the 6 zone around the Poll; if their move
would do so, they stop on the very edge of the zone. Their Speed and Readiness is reduced to 0 and they may
no longer be activated if there is no gladiator within 6 of the Poll. Gladiators with Cerberus Collars do not
ignore friendly Beasts as part of their Beast rule.

Other Feature these are any terrain feature that is not otherwise specified in the rules, from columns
to bridges, altars to daises.
The feature is measured by determining how many whole cubic inches could contain it. Thus, a feature 1/8th of
an inch deep must be contained by an imaginary box comprising of cubes 1 full inch deep. Any imagined cube
within this box wholly unoccupied by the feature can be discounted. Note that that actual size matters little; it is

float if you wish.

The Cerberus Poll is mounted on a 40 or 50mm round base. When it is deployed, choose a gladiator from your

Deploy this gladiator anywhere within 3 of the Poll. Due to the neural stimuli, if they do not have it already
the gladiator gains the Beast special rule for that game only. The Collar prevents the gladiator from being
activated unless there is another gladiator within 3 of the Poll. As soon as a gladiator moves within 3 of the
Poll, the Cerberus Collar begins to stir its wearer; immediately rotate the wearer to face the new threat and
change its Speed and Readiness to 3. The wearer cannot move out of the 3 zone around the Poll; if their move
would do so, they stop on the very edge of the zone. Their Speed and Readiness is reduced to 0 and they may
no longer be activated if there is no gladiator within 3 of the Poll. Gladiators with Cerberus Collars do not
ignore friendly Beasts as part of their Beast rule.

Each Cryogenic Camber can contain one gladiator. Gladiators may only be put in or taken from a Cryogenic
Camber at the beginning of the Injuries sub-phase post-game. Whilst in a Camber, a gladiators injures cannot
cause their death, equipment cannot be reassigned, sold or otherwise managed, and the gladiator cannot
participate in another game whilst in any capacity. If sold, they must be put immediately into a Cryogenic
