Tales of Verghast Spire

Helsreach Public
Status
In Progress
Budget
2000¢

A renegade gang of House Orlock have carved out a small outlaw settlement for themselves following the reopening of the Verghast Spire.

Other, law-abiding gangs, have ventured to this strange corner of Hive Primus to seek their fortune. 

This campaign takes inspiration from the Perpetual Campaigns variant found on p232 of the new Core Rule Book. It is a Domination campaign until further notice.

Bounty Hunters (Game Balance)
Law Abiding gangs may recruit a bounty hunter for free, until as such times that they have as many territories or have a gang rating equal or greater than The Red Chain gang. Bounty Hunters will only stay with the gang for one scenario. You may not choose the same Bounty Hunter two games in a row. Gangs may choose from Kal Jericho, Eyros Slagmist, Vandoth the Fallen, or Gor Halfhorn. Other bounty hunters may become available as the campaign progresses. 

House Rule: Challengers
The gang with the lowest reputation may challenge a gang. The gang with the next lowest reputation then fights the remaining gang. 
Gangs can challenge for existing territories, for an unclaimed territory, or an unknown territory. 
The gang with the lowest rating is always the attacker and chooses the scenario.

Existing Gangs
Gangs can be imported with all territories into the new campaign. Currently, House Orlock is Outlaw, and holds four territories, plus their starting settlement. House Escher is Lawful and holds two territories, plus their starting settlement.

New Gangs
New gangs joining the campaign have 2000 credits to spend rather than the usual 1000 credits. Their maximum crew size is fifteen. All other rules regarding brutes and hangers-on apply. New gangs start the campaign with a settlement in the normal way. 

Gang Tactics Cards
Leaders, Champions and Prospects generate cards from House specific decks. Gangers generate cards from the Generic deck.
Draw 2 cards and pick 1 until each model has a card.
Hangers-on, Bounty Hunters and Brutes don't generate any cards.
