MORDHEIM - CITIES OF GOLD
SLANN WARBAND

By Tommy Punk

Slann are amphibians, their bodies are thin with long limbs and webbed hands and feet. Their heads are large and frog-like with protruding eyes. Skin colors vary from green, blue, and sometimes yellow. In some areas they are mottled or carry black or dark red "tiger-stripes." Slann tribesmen, especially the Warriors or Braves as they are called, often wear war-paint as well as ritual or tribal tattoos. Paint colors follow traditional patterns which vary from tribe to tribe. Light blues, reds, and white are the most common pigments. Warbands do not use uniforms, but adopt a system of paint schemes with which they cover their faces and bodies. Red, yellow, white and black are the most commonly used colors, contrasting vividly with the green skin of the Slann themselves.

Hands Doublehanded

The Needle rifle fire small toxin needles. If a hit is not saved the toxin will work and most likely take the target out. However the toxin is not that effective against enduring creatures such as Greenskins or Dwarfs. If the save is failed roll on the following table to see what effect the toxin have:

D6 Toxin effect table
0-1 No effect. The toxin failed to take the target out.
2 Stunned
3+ Out of action.

The toxin have no effect on Undeads or Daemons. Greenskins, Dwarfs, Ogres, Skaven, Rat Ogres and Trolls subtract -1 from the score.

Neuro-Disruptor

The Neuro-disruptor is a weapon worn like a gauntlet that let the wearer send out shockwaves in an attempt to paralyze their targets mind. The weapon can be used both in close combat and as a ranged weapon. When used as a ranged weapon place a small teardrop template (eg Pestilen Breath template) in basecontact with the wearer and the broad end anywhere that you can see. Any model completely under the template are hit and are automatically stunned, models not completely covered are only stunnded on the roll of 4+. In close combat roll to hit as normal and if any hits are scored the model is stunned and taken out of action. The Neuro-disruptor may not be used in conjunction with another weapon to gain extra attacks but an extra weapon may be used for defense, eg a sword to parry with.

Energy field

The amulett creates an energy field that deflects hits. The field grants a save of 3+ that is not modified by the attacks saving throw modifier. When the field deflects an attack a bright halo will flash for a moment.
