Mutant Cannibals - The True Nuclear Family
“Cannibalism is an ancient and dark sin and most
cultures throughout time have considered the act
unforgivable. To knowingly consume the flesh of
one’s own kind is rarely about survival, but perversity.
Even in the wasteland, to consume human flesh, even
in times of famine, is to commit a great atrocity.“
---St. Horowitz
“The events of the Long Night have left many scars
and I fear there are some twisted creatures who wish
these wounds to never heal.”
--- William Father-Speaker,
Ancestor Shaman to the Garretts
Cannibals are unnatural creatures. They are created
by deviant act and possibly by ill-birth, but few rational
creatures will eat their own species. In the wastelands,
cannibals come from two primary sources. The most
common and short-lived are those isolated wastelanders
who cannibalize the dead or living in order to stave off
hunger and death. Once done, some of these wastelanders
literally develop a taste for human flesh and seek ways of
acquiring more, either by murder or through grave robbing.
Eventually, their needs get the better of them and they
Mutant Cannibals
are exposed as monsters. They are quickly hunted and
destroyed by the vengeful. These cannibals are aberrant
and are single in nature, though deadly they are hardly
significant threats on their own. They may even form small
groups of like-minded individuals, but again these groups
rarely last long. The second and more insidious threat
stalks the darkest places of the wasteland and causes
raiders and settlers alike to shiver in their beds. These are
the mutant cannibal clans.
The history of cannibal clans stretches back to the dark
years of the Long Night. Without the protection of the
government, some Last Americans were forced to eat the
dead to survive. Seeing an easy way to live without hunting
and scavenging, these cannibals continued their gruesome
ways, even after the discovery of more palatable food
sources. As the years passed and the Long Night receded,
these warped and demented survivors were slowly pushed
into the recesses as the settlements emerged and
civilization slowly reasserted itself. Isolated and desperate,
the cannibals turned to inbreeding for clan survival and
growth. Over the coming century, they devolved into
deformed mutants that even upon the most rudimentary
inspection would not pass as human.

Petunia Cannibal Ambush – At the beginning of each game,

Petunia is not like the other cannibals. She is an inhuman
monster on the inside, but on the outside she is quite
lovely; beautiful actually. Free of the blemishes of her kin,
Petunia uses her looks and savvy to visit settlements and
outposts to lure victims into cannibal ambushes. She
also fences the loot of their victims and buys whatever
necessities the clan cannot make or steal. Petunia enjoys
a special position in the family and she knows and flaunts
it. She is Pa’s favorite and she can get away with murder,
literally! Among her other kin, she is still quite popular and
it is unusual for others to cross her. Being cut off from
supplies or risking Pa’s wrath is not worth it. Maw-Maw, on
the other hand, is jealous of the attention Petunia receives,
and is openly hostile to her. Petunia knows to give the
matriarch a wide berth.

Psycho
All members of a cannibal family are twisted and malevolent
creatures, but the psycho is a breed apart. Caring little for
inter-family bickering, the psycho sets themselves above
such petty squabbles and only cares for inflicting pain
and torture on their victims often in ways that would even
give Pa pause. Psychos often wear flayed skins or other
grisly trophies and when not on family raids can be found
torturing anyone they can get ahold of, whether a captive
or even a unlucky sibling. When raiding in the wasteland,
they wield vicious weapons such a power tools, chainsaws,
and large cleavers; the better to mutilate their opponents.
Needless to say, as they stride forward awash in blood and
gore it takes a brave wastelander to challenge them
in melee.
Gramps
An elder member of the family, Gramps may actually be
Maw-Maw or Pa’s biological father, brother, or some other
esoteric relation. As the years have gone by he has been
passed over by his more vigorous relations and his body
has grown increasingly infirm. Despite this, his capacity for
cruelty and years of experience have allowed him to amass
quite a collection of prizes and trophies taken from raids.
The most valuable pieces of this hodgepodge collection are

“We are what we are; the Good Lord
does not make mistakes. We are His
punishment for the hubris of the Last
Americans and we will consume the
flesh of their wayward children. Some
call us cannibals, but truly we are devils
beyond good and evil. For us flesh is
salvation and blood is redemption. All
other sustenance is but dust.”
-- Hezekiah Wormwood

In the Tri-State Wasteland, the Wormwood

clan is a byword for terror. Operating out of
a series of caves near the border with the
Highlands, the Wormwoods have waylaid
small caravans and solitary travelers for
years. Several purges by various peacekeeper
organizations have resulted in the deaths
of many of the cannibals, yet their numbers
never seem to dwindle. The clan has
remarkable staying power and this is due in
no small part to the strength of Hezekiah
Wormwood, the patriarch of the clan. A
religious zealot, Hezekiah rules his family
through sheer terror and ruthlessly culls
any who question his ways or authority. The
start of the clan has been lost to time, and
the woman who started the cannibal family
with Hezekiah is unknown, but no female
member of the clan is ever said to last long
once chosen to be a consort of the patriarch.
Luckily for the clan, Hezekiah preaches a
particular lusty form of religion and births in
the family are extremely high. Besides the
rapid reproduction of the faithful, Hezekiah
also teaches that cannibalism is the purest
form of worship and only by eating the flesh of
the living will the wasteland be fruitful again.

Mutant Cannibal Armory
Cannibal mutants have access to all of the normal items
found in the Armory section in the main This Is Not a Test
rulebook. Additionally, they bring items of a more esoteric
and grisly fashion as well, which are presented below. Note
that while these items are horrible in application, other
warbands may choose to use them as well, as in they are
not necessarily unique to mutant cannibals. However, any
warband that does use them is just as degenerate! Items
in the armory follow all the normal rules for their type as
applicable from the main rulebook.
Note that items marked with a * are actually unique to Mutant
Cannibals and may not be taken by other warbands.
Special Rules
Bloody Mess – This weapon coats the target in blood
or other substance enticing to savage beasts. All
model’s with the Animal type gain a +1 to their Melee
and Strength stats when attacking the affected model.
Further, models with the Animal type will always choose
this model as the target of its attacks if it has to choose
between multiple targets. Friendly models may pass a
Will test (MET TN/10) to resist this ability; this does not
cost AP to attempt.
12
Gruesome Kill – The effect of this weapon on its victims
is terrifying. If a model hit by this weapon goes out of
action, all enemy models within 4" and line of sight must
pass a Morale test (MET/TN 10).
MELEE WEAPONS
Mauler – While not normally thought of as weapons
outside B-movies, some cannibals prefer heavy
industrial items, such as over-sized saws, large drills,
and heavy grinders; generically referred to as maulers
by their users. Of course these destructive items
are not nearly dangerous enough, so will be further
sharpened or enhanced with spikes, electric shockers,
or other deadly attachments to increase the agony of
their target.
Slaughter Blade – While generally in the shape of a
heavy machete or cleaver, the slaughter blade is a
weapon that has been used to commit countless
murders and has never been properly cleaned of the
blood of its victims. Overtime the metal has become
encrusted with the most virulent of contagions. As a
result, any hit requiring a Survival test from the Poison
ability for this weapon will be at Strength 6 instead
of D6.

before each game until they pass, after which it is no
longer necessary.

RANGED WEAPONS
Net Launcher – Cannibals are obsessed with taking
captives, so much of their weaponry is modified for live
capture. This device is either a homemade tube device
or of a Pre-Fall police manufacture. This weapon follows
the rules for the Net found in the This Is Not A Test
rulebook, except it uses the profile found below and all
ranged combat modifiers apply when used.

Spear Fisher – The spear fisher is almost identical to

Cattle Prod – An electroshock weapon, the cattle
prod was originally used to get livestock moving, but
with an increase in voltage, it can render the target
unconscious. In the wastes, the cattle prod is a cannibal
favorite to ensure any potential meat sources are not
unnecessarily bruised.
Maw-Maw’s Pry Bar* – Sometimes when Maw-Maw is at
rest, she needs a little help extracting herself from her
location, be it the sofa or the hammock out back. This
rather large and sturdy instrument is used for just such
an occasion, but in a pinch one of Maw-Maw’s nearest
and dearest (and strongest) will use this to swat away
any unwelcome suiters from Maw-Maw or those that
sass her. Any time a model is first equipped with this
weapon, they must pass a Strength test (STR/TN 10)
before the first game they attempt to use it. If passed
they may use it as normal. On a failure, their enthusiasm
the more mundane spear gun, except for a length of
coiled wire or rope attached to the projectile. When
the spear hits, the shooter has hooked their target
and at their discretion can pull them closer. A model
wounded by the spear fisher counts as being “hooked”.
At any time the “hooked” model or the firer may spend
an AP to pull the other 5" closer by taking an opposed
Strength test. If the target is deceased, the firer may
pass a Strength test (STR/TN 10) to pull the corpse 5
inches closer. The firer may release the other model
at any time as a free action or the hooked model may
pass a Strength test (STR/TN 10) to break the rope;
attempting this costs 1 AP.
Splatter Gun – A weapon that is ingenious as it is
disgusting, the splatter gun is any weapon used to spray
hot liquids from a portable backpack. Given the amount
of scrap in the wastes, the splatter gun can be made
from a near infinite supply of parts and the ammunition
can be just as varied. Among the cannibal clans, the
same mixture used in bloody heads is loaded into the
splatter gun. This method is considered to be a fine way
to marinate one’s food.

Bloody Head – Cannibals love to hollow out the head
of their victims and seal them with a mix of blood
laced with pheromones harvested from female rad
roaches. When thrown the head explodes on contact
and dowses the target with its vile contents. Though
unharmed, the smell of the blood and pheromones will
drive any nearby animals insane with rage. Characters
hit with a Bloody Head are a bloody mess and affected
as such (see above).
Filth Bomb – This concoction of explosives, rendered
corpse meat, fecal matter, and other liquids too gross
to list, is brewed in a human stomach and then sealed
with wax. In battle, the filth bomb erupts spewing is
grisly contents over the enemy. To say this is distracting,
would be an understatement. The Survival test for the
Distracting ability is TN 12 instead of 10.
ARMOR
Skin Amor – A particularly depraved item, the skin suit is
exactly as described. Various pieces of skin tanned into
a particularly rough hide. Beyond the simple leather of
animals, skin armor is clearly made of the flensed skin
of humans. Only the bravest can face such a monster
that would choose to wear such blasphemy. Models
equipped with skin armor count as having the Fearsome
Reputation skill. If they already have this ability, the TN
for the associated Will test is 12 instead of 10.
Chameleon Suit* - For years, wastelanders have tried
to make impromptu stealth armor out of the hides of
creatures with the chameleon mutation, but all such
endeavors normal fail. However, the Wormwood clan
has figured it out and the process has spread to other

captives and plunder. A model so equipped may use
the effects of the Chameleon mutation, but does not
actually count as having the mutation themselves.
The armor is also somewhat finicky, so the model
cannot use the chameleon ability if they double move.
Additionally, due the rarity of material to make the suit,
only two suits may be used by the warband at one time.

EQUIPMENT
Gran-Gran’s Stew* – While not suffering from
psychoses, Gran-Gran will often make her special stew
in a large cook pot. The pot should be represented by
a token or model and starts play in the possession of
single model; place in base contact with carrier. While
carrying the pot the model moves at half-rate, though
they may pass a Strength test (MET/TN 10) to move
normally. This does not cost any AP, but can only be
attempted once a turn. While carrying the pot the model
may not use any weapons or items, but the pot itself
counts as a heavy improvised weapon. The pot may be
put down by choice, or involuntarily should the carrier
go out-of-action, but if any enemy model come into base
contact with it while it is not being carried, it counts as
destroyed for the rest of the game. The stew is chock
full of the choicest cuts of human meat and smells
of rank decay. All members of the mutant cannibal
warband within 6 inches receive a +1 to Activation tests,
while enemy models within 6 inches suffer a -1 to all
Activation tests.
Hooks and Chains* – The model carries an assortment
of barbed chains and hooks with them at all times to
help secure their prey. When this model causes an
enemy to go out-of-action in close combat, mark that
enemy model with a token. During the End of the Game
sequence if that model should die as a result of rolling
on the Survival Table, the cannibal clan has acquired
a fresh source of meat and is not required to pay any
warband upkeep after the game. Having multiple models
with hooks and chains does not confer any additional
benefits beyond increasing the possible number of
marked enemy models.
Illumination Flare – Wastelanders have good reasons to
fear the night, as that is when most predators, human,
mutant, or other, are on the prowl. When the need
should arise, an illumination flare can be shot out of a
special-purpose gun to provide bright light over a period
of time. A model equipped with this item can spend 1
AP to launch a flare, which will last for D3 games turns,
ending during the Clean-Up Phase of the rolled number.

SPECIAL SCENARIOS
Cannibals operate a lot like other warbands, so the scenarios presented in the main This Is Not A Test rulebook, will
work perfectly fine for representing their activities. For available scenario options, they count the same as raiders
and outcast mutants. These scenarios, however, showcase the unique flavor of the cannibal mutant warband. They
can, of course, be used by other warbands whose own agendas may veer towards the macabre.

16
Deployment
The defender (see below) will deploy their models first and
must do so within the central board (12" ring) area. The
attacker may deploy up to 6" away from any board edge
and may divide their forces among multiple board edges.
Special Rules
Attackers and Defenders – Before the start of the
game, one warband must be designated as the attacker
and the other as the defender. Mutant cannibals,
mutant outcasts, and raider warbands may always
choose to be the attackers.
While They Sleep at Night – The attackers must use
the Night Ambush benefits. These are described under
Advantages in the Fighting Between Uneven Warbands
section of the rulebook. Note if there is a disparity
between warband sizes, the normal advantages can be
used, but the same one can never be taken twice.
Guards – The defender must designate two guard
models; the rest of their warband is groggy from their
rude awakening. The guards will activate normally, but
every other defender suffers a -2 to their Activation
tests until they successfully pass an Activation test (i.e.
waking up). The guards may start the game holding. They
may choose to do this for multiple rounds. While holding
they will make Activations tests, to see if play passes,
but may continue to hold until they take an action. Once
done holding, they revert to normal activation.
Got the jump – The attackers have the clear advantage
since they have scouted this location and observed the
defenders for some time prior to the attack. The leader
of the attacking warband must make an Intelligence
test (MET/TN 10) check. Success indicates that their
warband have successfully approached the defenders
Mutant Cannibals
without notice. The attackers will automatically win
initiative for the first turn. All subsequent turns will have
initiative decided in the normal way.
Conclusion
The game lasts for 6 + D3 turns as the sunrise will drive off
the attacker
Rewards
The winning warband may redraw up to two cards from
the Wasteland Deck when determining income after a
campaign game. This is described further under Income
in the Campaigns section. Additionally, the attacker gains
5 BS for each enemy model taken out of action in hand
to hand or by ranged attacks at 6 inches or less. The
defender gets 5 BS for each enemy taken out of action by
any means. Neither player may gain more than 30 BS from
these latter rewards.
