If a weapon ignores saves it can continue to ignore saves, even when saves would nominally be taken first. You're right on Seismic as that is a wound-triggered roll that affects the armour roll. Any trait like that will be affected, any trait which is not like that will not be affected.

But you can't engage a SIed fighter meaning Versatile never comes into it ;) Note also there is no such distinction between "at 1 inch" and "within 1 inch", because per the rules "within 1 inch" includes 1 inch exactly Versatile 1" is a hot mess of a trait that doesn't function and opens a...

Power and Rending would be affected. These are triggered off the wound roll and affect the armour roll. If you take the armour beforehand you would lose the armour-affect of those traits, or you'd have to houserule them to the hit roll. Others are wrong, any other traits triggered off the wound...

Nah, bolters are disgusting at 55cr each The at S4 AP1 D2 Rapid Fire they're 90% of the way to a plasma gun. If you think a plasmagun is too strong at 100cr, your eyes should be bulging at the very very similar gun for half that... Bolters need to either be dropped to D1, or about 80cr minimum

It's a complex situation, because Versatile is awkwardly bolted on a year after melee rules were written. In essence; Versatile lets you count as engaged for the duration of the action, which allows you to make the melee attack. It can be argued that, therefore, you can use sidearms because...

GW made a lot of questionable rules changes between 'N17' and 'N18'. It just shows how out of touch they are with their own game. Whatever they play up at Warhammer World, it ain't our Necromunda! I think the Necromunda rules writers are all very deeply in the camp "we don't care about...

You can move through friendlies though so that doesn't get you very far ;(

Putting the fire out is almost entirely redundant because it's very unlikely the blazing fighter will end next to a friend after the panic run. I much prefered the N17 rules for blaze, it was so much more balanced. One notable difference was fighters attempted to out the fire out before...

How much of a mess would it be if hotshot packs were a second profile with Grenade and Scarce lol?

Lorewise, hotshots in Necromunda are weird. What you buy from the trading post is obviously titled a hotshot laspack. This is a real thing in the lore which is fitted into a lasgun that allows it to burn out the entire laspack to fire a single "hotshot". These are normally carried for use...

Historical legacy/oversight. When Newcromunda released Versatile allowed the weapon to make a shooting attack at long range, or be used as a close combat weapon at short range. They changed how Versatile worked, because it was a pretty worthless trait as it was. Unfortunately, bolting on...

1: In the example above the Van Saar Ganger can draw line of sight to Cawdor fighters No. 1 and 2, No. 3 is not visible because they are fully obscured by the wall. Only fighter No. 2 is visible to the Van Saar, because he is both within the Van Saar's vision arc and line of sight can be drawn...

Fighter is the term for any player model.

You would play it with whichever enemy player was available.

I completely agree with the principle, in fact I could labour the point even heavier about how bad it is! I agree with solution 1, but not necessarily 2 or 3. If gang A has had a fighter captured, chances are they're rather worse for wear compared to gang B. Immediately fighting another game...

I'm sure I've seen this answered officially - in an FAQ or something. So I'll relay what I remember. These skills apply as normal - so Nerves of Steel gets to take a cool check if hit, and only has to test initiative if it's failed. Spring Up gets to take an initiative test to spring up, and...

There's no concept of "hands" for ranged weapons, that only exists for melee weapons.

Bottling and fleeing only counts as OoA for the purposes of the scenario. So one can argue that they don't count as OoA for the purposes of the card. Although you can argue they do. If they don't count then the card is borderline impossible *not* to successfully achieve.. If they do count as...

If you charge you get to fight before they get to turn to face for their reaction attack - this is how backstab is used. However, if you're charging a pinned opponent then they stand and face you before you fight. Tbh I think I've "backstabbed" someone once in all my games of Necromunda. It's...

Crusade is rather rich get rich and poor get poor as well though, although since things are so much less severe you don't feel it as much
