have left behind advanced artifacts, weapons, transports,

become vitally impoftant to your adventurers, not quite
understanding how they work - but being perfectly prepared to
take advanlage of the fact that they do!

In the following descriptions when I've used the word rTurn' I

refer to that playerrs Turn - the Active Player Turn in
Warhammer. When I've used the word 'Move phase' I refer just
to that part of a Turn in which the model is moved, So if an
action takes rA eomplete Turnrthen the model may do nothing
other than the action - he may not move, shoot etc. If an
action takesrA complete Move Phaserthen the model may not
move - but may shoot, comba! and so on, With a bit of
ingenuity these weapons can easily be adapted into any gaming
sysrem.

Laser pistols make wonderful side arms for Heroes. A laser

pistol can be fired once per Turn without effectinq the

attacks the weapon may be fired upto J times a Turn, at

The Flame Lance

The Flame Lance is a powerful laser weapon. It resembles an

ordinary Lance - except that it has a small button or catch on
the butt. When the button is pressed the weapon will fire a
bolt of laser energy from the tip. The discharge is much
qrealer than a normal laser weapon. The batteries are self
regenerating but because the discharge is so great the weapon
may only be fired I times in a single day - and then requires a
complete day to recharge. Each discharge causes 1D6 Strength
5 Hits. Anyone hit by a Flame Lance does not get a saving
throw for armour (unless they are Heroes and then it is at the
GM's discretion).

Muskets create a lot of smoke when they fire and could

Shotgun

Shotguns can be either single or double barrelled and can

either carry I or 2 shots accordingly. It takes a complete Move
Phase to reload I shot. Shotguns have only a shoft effective
range, but hits can be very nasty - causing horrible wounds
rather than killing outright. Shots at short narrge cause Dl Hits
