This s because an enclosed space will contain and concentrate a blast or other area effect, making lf alot more unpleasant for anyone inthe way. Models ‘within T square of an open hatch or doorway leading to a room in ‘Which a grenade or missile explodes wil also suffer the effects on a ll of 4-6 on a D6. ‘Secondly, there is no need to rll for deviation when using grenades ‘or missiles against opponents who ae inthe same room they will “hit” automatically, ‘Using grenades or missiles against opponents in an adjoining room is eifferent, since you have to be sue thatthe shot or throw makes itdhrough the doorway. Make a BS check on 106 forthe throweriier, modifying BS as fellows: doorway 1 square wide or smaller ‘window or hatch firing at angle of 45° or more * or more, at the GM's discretion. 2, Normal Line of Sight rules apply (p17). The GM's discretion will ‘beneeded to determine if furniture or fxtures block the line of sight. ‘The grid will help establish if models can fie at targets in adjacent rooms through apen portals or doorways. 3. All normal Hiding rules apply (pp17-18). 4, Normal cover rues apply, as on pp. 18-19; since one grid-square is treated as 1", cover is negated if both tanget and shooter models. are in squares adjacent to the cover. A model can claim cover from ‘doorway or portal. '5, Shootingin the enclosed space ofa building interior is a dangerous business, Tb reflet ths, teat allranges as short forall weapons. This will have the effect of increasing a unit's firepower considerably, and. ‘wll make the use of cover and tactics much more important than in. the open - as is the case with fireights in enclosed spaces. Grenades and Missiles (Grenades and Missiles are much more effective in enclosed spaces, and this i reflected in two ways. Inthe diagram, model B incurs a-1 penalty for fring at a narrow angle, while model A does not. ‘The GM always has the option to impose further modifiers according to the circumstances. Ifthe check is successful (Le. the dic roll is equal tothe modified BS or less), the grenade or missile explodes in the adjoining room: If ot, i explodes in the same room as the fiecthrower. “These weapons are extremely powerful in a confined space, and great care needs tobe taken when using them. If you throw a grenade at ‘amodelin the same room as you, for instance, you wil suffer as much ‘as your enemy! There are cccasions when this tactic will work, of ‘course - for example, throwing gas grenades when your own troops hhave nose filters. ‘all Sections ‘When using floorplans, itis possible to divide walls up into sections cof one square rather than the conventional 4” wall section covered ‘0n pp 36-7 of the rulebook. Each 1-square wall section has the same as given in the rulebook, but the Damage shown for a 4” section is divided by 4, rounding al fractions up. Thus, a 9-square stretch of concrete wall on the floorplans is divided into 9 sections of 1 square each, each with T 8 and D 2 ‘Tand D scores forthe wall included in this set are given inthe table below: game statistics for walls should be decided by the GM or agreed between the players before play starts. | Armoured, 10 8 | Reinforced wo | 6 Heavy 4 Panelled 7 2 walls ‘Ary model in a square adjacent toa wall square can automatically | ithe wall wth any appropriate hand-to-hand weapon. Ranged ‘weapons automatically hit any wall they are fed at. ‘A wall section is breached when reduced to 0 Damage, permitting ‘movement through the breach at the cost of a quarter of the model's ‘move as for a normal obstacle ‘Aleach in a single wall section carries no danger of collapse, but iftwo or more adjacent wal sections are breached, rll a De.

BREACHING ADJOINING WALL SECTIONS Inthe dagram above, four adjoining wall sections have been breached. ‘AD6 is oled, and on a result of 1-3 the wall collapses in that area. Every model in the shaded area must make a saving throw or be killed The rubble-flled area is counted as very difficult ground. Doors ‘Doors are treated in the same way as walls. or most purposes, the doors in tis set may be treated as follows: Door Type Doors may be breached in the same way as walls, a section ata time there is no danger of collapse resulting from the breaching of a doer. swith walls, game statistics should be decided by the GM or agreed between the players before play starts. = Other Fixtures ‘There are too many fixtures and accessories in this set to be able to ‘cover them all in detal. As with walls and doors, game statistics and ‘and special rues should be decided by the GM or agseed between the players before play starts ‘Skirmishes within buildings will normally involve only small numbers ‘of models, and even squad level games of only 10 modes aside can be quite interesting in a confined space. Inside a building, it is not always possible to tell where your opponents are, judge their strength and so on, So some system for simulating hidden and secret movement. is necessary, ‘ne simple option i the outer Method. Each player prepares astack ‘of counters; one fr each model in his force, and a numberof dummies orblanks. Any number of dummy counters can be used, but itis best to use one dummy counter for every 2 troop counters. This should be decided by the GM or agreed between the players before play starts. SECRET MOVEMENT Each player places and moves counters face-down, so that only he ‘knows what his true disposition is. A counter is turned face-up when it fires or is fred on (note: dummy counters cannot fe): dummy counters are discarded, and troop counters are replaced with the appropriate models. A further development ofthis dea sto allow ony ne player to use ‘counters, while the other uses modes. This works well te scenario ‘is one where one player is defending the building complex from the cher. The defender paces al is tops (counters) at the start ofthe fame. The atacker now makes his st move onto the forplans nd although he has some idea as othe defender’ postin, he wil ‘still not be entirely sure of what he is facing. ‘Mega-city 1 and the other mega-cities ofthe 22nd-century Earth of Judge Dredd are quite similar to some parts of the Hive Worlds of the fortieth millenium, Imagine a mega-ity which covers the entire succeofplanet, and you kav a ly accrate vison fs Hve ‘World. Hive Worlds are grossly overpopulated, and forall but a fortunate few living conditions are far from civilised. Society is held together ‘only by fear of the authorities - which is far from universal - and the populace is resigned to a miserable life of scavenging and fighting for what lite resources there are. “The theoretical government ofthese places usually confines itself to ‘dealing inthe only real resource these words have of, the people!

Nealy all Space Marine ‘chapters dredge the lower levels of the Hive Worlds, searching forthe ‘toughest, meanest and most cunning survivors of one of the most ‘hostile environments outside the Death Worlds. On many Hive Wolds, ‘the Hives have formed themselves into tribal gangs, andar constantly ‘warring for space and resources. These battle-hardened Hivers form ideal stock for recruitment and processing. On other occasions, the ‘Space Marines are seen asthe bestequipped force to carry out missions on Hive Worlds, and are frequently called on to undertake raids of ‘put dovinrebelions. Sometimes they combine the two, puting down. uprisings and ‘the most able rebels into their own ranks, often tothe dismay ofthe world's Imperial Governor. Given a litle imagination, it s possible to come up with hundreds ‘of reasons for Space Marines or any other Imperial organisation to ‘be present on a Hive World. indeed, i is quite easy t0 see reasons foralotof the alien races to he drawn t such places. Secedy ensconced In the lower levels, they could avoid official notice for year, feeding ‘on the abundant population and fermenting their unspeakable plans. Here are some notes on the most belligerent ofthe Hivers, and some ‘scenario ideas using the floorplans inthis box to create a Hive World setting, Hive World Gangs Inthe forbidding depths of the Hive World lower levels, the planetary authorities have all but given up trying to enforce the law and keep ‘der among the population. The vast overcrowding and pitiful resources have caused these places to become as violent as any alien ‘Death World, Men survive only on their ability to find, steal, or extort food, Base cunning and primal aggression are qualities which serve the Fiver well, Weakness and fear are his enemies, superstition and mistrust his way of life. ts no wonder, then, that the Hive Worlds are fertile hunting grounds for the recrulting arms of the Legiones Astartes, ‘Even in such a place, humanity is gregarious, andthe weak seek the protection ofthe strong, It is common for Hives - especially in the Tower levels - to band together for mutual protection, and to prey on the weaker and less organised. Each gang stakes a claim over a particular area, defending it against neighbouring gangs and trying to expand into their territory ina never-ending series of wars. Each ‘group is ruled by the strongest or most cunning, who rules with an. itoa fist, never daring forget that many of his folowers would love to take his place. Any transgression of the leader's will is punished by death -or rejection, which is buta slower form of death. The gangs constantly change, fragmenting when strong leaders die and involving ‘themselves in an ever changing patter o lances and oppositions. iver gangs often adopt a name, reflecting ther environment, their favoured fighting style, or anything else with which they identify themselves. On the Hive World of Tellus 15/01, gangs were recorded with names such a8 The Bad Rad Boys, The Metal Maniacs, The Screaming Scabs and The Zeta Death Phalagies. ‘Typical Hiver gangs can be generated as follows: Size and Organisation ‘Theres litle real mn amongst the Hiver gangs, which may number from a handful of semi-skilled fighters to several dozen combatants of near-military ability. For the purposes of small ‘skirmishes, iris best to organise gangs into groups of between 5 and 12 individuals, in the same way as Space Marines are divided into, squads. Each group willbe led by a personality of Champion or higher status. Groups from rival gangs wil never co-operate with eachother, and at the GM's option they may Aare each other. If more than one ‘gang is represented in a game, each gang should be commanded by a diferent player, even if they are alied. ach gang will be composed of a varying numberof groups, and led bya personality of Hero status. For al but the largest games, though, itis best to deal in groups, asa gang almost never commits is full strength in a single action - 2-5 groups (use D4+ for random generation) is typical. ‘The following tables are used to generate basic numbers for groups cof Hiver gangers: D6 Roll Group Leader Size Modifier 1 Champion ° 5 ‘Minor hero 4 6 ‘Major hero 2 ‘The Size Modifier is applied tothe die roll on the following table: De Roll Group Size 1 5 B 7 34 9 5 10 oF 2 ‘This number includes the group leader. ach ganger has a 10% of being a Champion. ‘Example: The Wasteland Warriors of Gamma Horgan 7115 4 sale wen of Weston rr atk re aria he ‘ae bce cu of ro tht of isu ove ews ofthe ‘A D6 is rolled forthe group leader, anda roll 7 nds tate & ¢ Mino Heo as el sang @ Soe "i.
