Warlands
Warlands - a twisted shell of a world; with thousands of miles of dust- covered plains, shattered
coastlines and drowned cities. A world where death and disease walk the desolate city streets of long
abandoned towns and cities, where mutant raids are the norm, cannibalism for many is the key to
survival, and brother fights brother for the last scraps of a fading civilization.
No one can seem to remember exactly how it started or indeed how it ended. But it did…
The feared global pandemic came as accusations flew, fingers were pointed, politicians talked, and
bombs fell. Wars raged as the cries of fanatics mingled with the screams of the dying. The cities,
already ravaged by plague, had dead piled high in the streets and rumors of the dead walking spread
across the world.
Now, decades later, the global community is no more. Instead, local communities and roving gangs
hack out a life in the desolation; some clinging to the old ways while others willingly embrace this new
world. Fights between communities are common, and allegiances are made to be broken. There are
no rules, it’s kill or be killed; there is no compromise.
Many cling to a hope that things could get better. Some communities have tried to bring a sense of
order to their existence, with leaders to make rules and the strong to enforce them. Others yearn for
that sense of order and will bow down to any vestige of government regardless of how small or inef-
fective it may be. The fledgling United Free States is one such attempt to bring back the old world and
to take control of what little is left, but they have a long way to go. Those who follow the UFC are few,
but they are growing in numbers.
The military of the old world is long gone, lost in the chaos that brought the world to its knees, but
some cling to the notion that it is their right and their duty to bring order to the chaos regardless of
whether it is wanted or not. The Blackwood Mercenaries, remnants of a military might that no longer
exists, are one such group, but no one takes then seriously. Not yet…
For every attempt to bring order and control there are many that maintain their right to do whatever
they choose. These gangs are the dominant denizens of the wastelands that roam the highways in
their road machines, scavenging for whatever they can find or taking what they need from others.
There are no rules, and death and destruction are their chosen method of survival.
Others have managed to make some kind of a living out of the desolation; people such as Mac and
his crew that have gathered together the biggest collection of goods since the long lost days of the
shopping mall. A one-stop shop for all your vehicular needs, Mac’s rules are law, and inside his com-
pound beware all those who break that law.
Whereas Mac deals with everything a road warrior could need, others like Wacked-out Willy have
specialized their stock. Second only to Mac’s, Wacked-out Willy has the largest assortment of weap-
ons you can buy, but don’t be surprised if you get more than you bargained for when dealing with
Willy, he is nowhere near as honorable as Mac and would shoot his own mother if there was a profit
in it.
Scattered around the wastelands are also various trading posts, where those that have something
to trade can barter for supplies. If you have what others want then you can trade for the things you

8
need, that’s if you can keep hold of your goods long enough to get them there.
In a world where the man driving next to you is just as likely to run you off the road for your spare
tire, there are places where the competitive nature of humanity can still be expressed. The desire to
race, the excitement of the chase, and the thrill of winning is still alive even in these days of desola-
tion. Founded in the ruined city of Lost Vegas, the city of sin has kept its old world reputation. Through
the crumbling streets and derelict buildings of a bygone age, contestants race to win the coveted title
of Death Race Champion, and more importantly the supply of gasoline that comes with the win. Many
have tried and many have died. Although there is no longer any currency, betting will be brisk with
all manner of items up for wager. Slavery is rife and human trafficking is a common practice, many
slaves finding their way to the vice dens that have grown up around the decaying streets of Vegas.
The Death Race has been growing in popularity and there are always people willing to put everything,
including their life on the line for the thrill of racing.
So while the old cities crumble and decay, populated by the dead, diseased and dying, the survivors
cruise the blacktop in their machines of speed and destruction. Survival depends on keeping your
machine running so these remnants of the human race seek just one thing - the black gold, the
“guzzoline”!
Warlands is a full throttle, cinematic, action game set in the post-apocalyptic landscape of a near-
future Earth.
Have you got the ability to survive in the Warlands? Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Vehicle Crews:
To operate a vehicle requires a minimum
crew, such as a driver or perhaps a driver
and a gunner. To be a driver, the crew-
member must be in the driver’s position.
To be a gunner, the crewmember must be
in the gunner’s position to be able to fire
the gunner’s weapon.
A gunner can only fire the gunner’s weap-

on during that activation; he cannot fire a
personal weapon as well.
If one of the vehicle’s crew is killed dur-

ing the game then another passenger,
crewmember, or a pedestrian entering the
vehicle can take over that position.
If a pedestrian gets into a vehicle, that
model is then classified as a passenger

• A close combat assault must be pre-

Therefore, if a model chooses to move
into close combat, it must omit Step 3.
• Upon activation, if a pedestrian is in
base-to-base contact with another pe-
destrian, it is considered to be in close
combat, and no other action except
close combat can be taken. (Steps 1, 2,
and 3 are omitted)
For example: Jack has four pedestrian

models to activate this phase. He activates
his first pedestrian. He wants to move it to
cover, but sees that it needs to move twice
to do so. If in Step 1, the pedestrian takes
an aimed shot, it cannot move in Step 2 and
will not be able to reach the desired cover.
So in Step 1, Jack decides to shoot twice
(as its weapon has an ROF of 2). In Step 2,
after the shots, it moves towards the cover. It
still cannot reach cover in this move, but can
shoot again, so in Step 3, it takes another 2
shots. It can now move into cover in Step 4.

Car Trouble
The noise from the engine was not so much a roar, more of a grinding of metal on metal. The smell
of burnt rubber filled the compartment as the shot-up tires churned between the blacktop and the
dented rims. The Maxwell was a mess. The glass on the side windows had broken a long time ago,
but now even the plates used to replace them were scratched and twisted. The reinforced windshield
was spattered with blood, remnants of a Lotek that got too close, and the hood mounted twin mini-
gun was just a twisted mass of smoking metal.
The Stranger struggled to keep his car on the road. His real name was long forgotten, in a world
where the past is meaningless, the future is a dim hope, and the only thing that matters is today. He
was lucky to be alive and so was his partner, Max who was curled up behind the driver’s chair. The
dog appeared to be asleep, but the tell-tale sign of movement in his tail and the glint behind half-
closed eyes showed that he was still alert. They had managed to survive the Lotek ambush, but only
just. He should have known better than to drive into a derelict truck stop without checking it out first.
Such a momentary lapse of judgment can cost you your life.
Although they had escaped with their lives, the Maxwell had not come out of it so well. The damage
could be fixed, but it would need to be done soon. Killing the Loteks who ambushed them has given
them some time, but not much. Limping along the road like this, the Stranger knew they were a sitting
target, just waiting to be attacked. There was only one place in these parts where he knew he could
get everything he needed - Mac’s Body Shop. All he needed to do was to get there.
The lights in the distance were a welcome sight. As the struggling Maxwell came over the brow of a
hill, down in the valley was the sprawling compound of warehouses and workshops that was known
as Mac’s. The Stranger turned off onto the approach road where a large sign spelled out a welcome
to everyone who planned to visit Mac’s.
‘Welcome to Mac’s. Come on in and trade. All are welcome.’
Underneath were the words:
‘Warning - Leave your differences outside. In here Mac makes the rules. Draw a weapon and it will
be the last thing you do.’
It was a chilling reminder that Mac and his crew took no crap from anyone. Mac’s was a combat
free zone; strictly enforced by Mac and his boys. Many people had tested the rules, but they only did
it once.
The Maxwell crawled slowly up to the gate. Surrounding the complex, a large forbidding wall of
metal sheets and girders stretched out on either side. The gate itself was an old bus covered with
metal sheets that had been driven across the entrance, blocking any way in. Patches of white and
blue paint could be seen amongst the rust and dents that adorned any visible bodywork. At each side
of the entrance and at various intervals around the length of the wall were turrets mounted with a se-
lection of heavy weapons that ranged from flamethrowers to twin mini-guns.
“At least I know they have twin mini-guns,” the Stranger smiled grimly, as he brought the Maxwell to
a metal-crunching stop in front of the gate.

42
Suddenly, a loud voice echoed around the valley as if was coming from all around him, although in
reality it was being channeled through a number of battered speakers hanging from the wall.
“Do you agree to abide by Mac’s rules?”
“Yeh, I agree.”
The Stranger stepped out of the car. Max jumped through the broken window to stand at the side of
his master, growling deep in his throat.
“Easy, Max” said the Stranger softly, as he put a warning hand on the dog’s head.
The bus rolled noisily aside and five men stepped forward, heavily armed and all with weapons
raised.
“Take it easy, boys. That’s no way to treat a famous guest.”
The voice came from a tall man as he stepped out from behind the bus. Not just tall, he was big all
over, his bulk fitting his height at about 300 pounds, unusual in these days when food was scarce.
“I wondered when we would get to see you here. The famous, or should I say infamous, Stranger.
We’ve heard a lot about you and your furry friend there. Quite a name you’ve made for yourself.
You’re nearly as famous as I am.” Mac laughed a deep throaty chuckle.
He turned towards the Maxwell.
“Looks like you’ve had a bit of trouble. A full refit, if I’m not mistaken? I am sure we can make your
beauty as good as new; maybe even better.”
“Thanks” said the Stranger.
“A man of few words, I see. As I am a man of many; I am sure we will get on well. OK boys; take her
inside while we talk business”
Mac turned and walked back into the compound.
The Stranger had heard about Mac too. The rumor is he has the bodies placed in a pit out the back,
beyond the fence so the scavengers can feast on the carcasses.
Definitely not a guy to cross, he thought, as he followed him into the legendary Mac’s Body Shop.

A Good Night’s Sleep

Hank awoke to the deep roar of an engine close by. Immediately alert, he reached out for his loaded
shotgun ready beside him. Swinging his legs over the side of the bed, he darted to the window and
peered outside.
He couldn’t see anyone, but he could definitely hear them. The car lot was empty except for the
two rusty car wrecks that were there when he crawled into the derelict motel the previous night. Hank
listened carefully, trying to pinpoint the location of the noise. He moved to the rear window next to the
grime covered bath where he could hear the engine more clearly. There was someone out there driv-
ing around. He knew he had to do something; his girl was parked back there, hidden away in a large
shed. Hank cursed silently; he knew he should never have stayed here. The prospect of a bed, albeit
a bed in a room that has not seen a maid for many years, was too good to pass up. He had spent too
many nights sleeping behind the wheel and just for once, he had wanted a bed.
Grabbing his pack, Hank moved carefully over to the door. He was about to open it a crack when he
heard the crunch of gravel underneath booted feet coming from the other side. Keeping hidden, Hank
slid to the side of the broken window to see a leather clad man walking towards the door. He was

74
wearing goggles, with one of the lenses broken. He was also carrying a large rifle and Hank could
see a shotgun slung over each shoulder. A second man was walking away past the rows of doors to
the left of the room where Hank had chosen to rest his head.
He had no idea how many more of them were out there and Hank realized he might have no choice
but to act, and act soon. Peering through the grimy peephole in the door, he put one hand on the door
handle and held the shotgun with the other. He waited until the man was close, only about five feet
away from the door; turning the handle, he yanked the door open and in one fluid movement brought
the shotgun to bear and fired.
The blast echoed around the parking lot, the man’s chest exploding as the shotgun blast tore
through his body. He fell to the ground, but Hank was already turning his shotgun towards the second
man. He fired again, but this time only managed a glancing blow on the man’s left arm. Hank dived to
the ground, grabbing the knife that was in his belt and sent it spinning towards his enemy.
The knife was more accurate, spinning through the air and hitting its target in the throat. As the man
fell backwards, Hank was on his feet in an instant, re-loading the shotgun and then running to grab
the knife from where it had lodged in the man’s throat. As he ran to the end of the row of rooms, he
could hear the engine roar getting louder as a buggy came into view around the corner.
There were two people in the buggy. A driver wearing what looked like an old army jacket and a bat-
tered top hat; the other man was on the back wielding a large spud autogun. Hank didn’t stop to think;
he fired the shotgun at the man on the back who fell straight off the buggy into a bloody heap on the
ground. Hank then leapt into the front of the buggy, ramming the knife into the driver’s head and then
throwing him out of his seat. Grabbing the wheel, Hank spun it around, turning the buggy a 180° back
towards the rear of the motel.
A second buggy was parked round the back, but there was no-one in sight. Hank stopped outside
the large shed where his girl was parked. It was time to hit the road before anyone else arrived. The
sound of a shotgun could be heard for miles around; he had been lucky so far and the last thing he
needed was the rest of the gang to turn up.
Hank raced into the shed and pulled the tarp off the car that was parked there. Jumping into the
driver’s seat, he started the engine and pushed the pedal to the floor. Tires screeched as the car
raced out of the shed. Intent on his escape, Hank saw nothing until it was too late.
As the Rattler ploughed into its side, Hank’s car rolled over and over, metal shredding metal as
pieces flew in all directions. Hank bounced around inside like a ball on a pinball table; he felt his arm
break as he fell from the roof to the floor as the car made yet another rotation.
The car finally came to a halt with its driver crumpled upside down in the front. Hank couldn’t feel
the fingers on his right arm as everything was numb. He looked out of the window at a world turned
upside down. The smell of gasoline was strong as he struggled to unfold himself and crawl out of the
car. His vision blurred as blood streamed down his face, Hank got a hand outside the car and put it
down into a puddle of gasoline.
The engine sparked one last time as the car exploded with a ball of flame reaching high into the air.
There would be no salvage for anyone from this wreck.

Warlands Force Profiles

Amongst the devastation, gangs of survivors ride the highways in their metal machines and scattered
communities are protected with the barrel of a gun. These remnants that are left are the future of hu-
manity, and the heart, soul and darkness of the Warlands.
These are the profiles to create a force to play any mission at any game level in Warlands. The pro-
files come in four sections: Warriors of the Wastelands, Loners, Nomads, and Loteks.
How to Create Your Force
When building a force, you can choose to play Nomads, Loteks, or the generic Warriors of the Waste-
lands.
Nomads and Loteks come with their own special rules as well as specific profiles that can only be
used by their particular force.
Warriors of the Wastelands can be played as a force, but can also be added to either Loteks or No-
mads and played under the special rules that apply to that force.
Regardless of how many Warriors of the Wastelands are included in a force, even if only one Nomad
or Lotek is used, that force must be classified as a Nomad or Lotek force.
Nomads and Loteks cannot be used in any other force but their own.
For example: If you were building a Lotek force, you could select a unit of Lotek Raiders, and also
add a Maxwell from the Warriors of the Wastelands. The Maxwell would use its own profile, but Lotek
special rules would apply.
You could not choose to add Nomad Militia to your Lotek force.
There is no inherent loyalty in Warlands! All forces are up for attacking each other. Lotek forces will
attack other Lotek forces as Nomad forces will attack other Nomads. Truces between forces are not
unheard of, but are scarce and unreliable (see Alliances in Special Rules)
When building your force, you must follow the rules for the game level you have selected (see Game
Level).
Each force section will contain the following information:
• Special Rules: These rules must be applied to that force. Warriors of the Wastelands do not
have special rules.
• Pedestrians: All the pedestrian options that can be selected for this force.
• Vehicles: Vehicle options that can only be selected for use with this specific force.

76
Vehicle and Pedestrian Profiles
All vehicles and pedestrians have a profile that lists the relevant information needed to play that
model.
Pedestrian Profiles
Included are:
Name: The name of the model plus the number of models allowed in a force.
For example: if the number is 0+ it means that you do not have to have any of this model; 1+ would
mean you must have at least 1 of this model in your force.
Sometimes, the number allowed in the force is restricted by the game level being played (see Game
Level in the Rules)
Cost: This is the points’ cost to use this model in your force.
Model Characteristics: These determine the skill level of a model and how it performs in the game
(see Characteristics in the Rules)
Model Type: This is the classification of the model for rules purposes.
For example: ‘Pedestrian’ means that this model complies with all the pedestrian rules unless other-
wise stated in the profile.
Gear: Any equipment that the model uses as part of the standard points’ cost. It is followed by the
profiles for that equipment.
Options: Any additional options that may be purchased to use with this model.
Special Rules: Any special rules that apply to this model.
Vehicle Profiles for Aberrant Named Vehicles
Included are:
Name: The name of the model plus the number of models allowed in a force.
For example: if the number is 0+ it means that you do not have to have any of this model; 1+ would
mean you must have at least 1 of this model in your force.
Cost: This is the points’ cost to use this model in your force.
Vehicle Characteristics: These determine how the vehicle performs in the game including speed
levels and turns.
Model Type: This is the classification of the model for rules purposes.
For example: Vehicle / Bike; Off-Road / Open, means that this model complies with all the vehicle
rules as well as any rules specified for Bikes, off-road and open vehicles unless otherwise stated in
the profile.
Structure: How many structure points are available to add items from the Body Shop.
If a Load-Out is listed then spare structure points cannot be used to add weapons from the Armory.
If the Load-Out on the vehicle profile is listed as ‘None’, any available structure points can be used to
add items from the Armory as well as selecting items from Mac’s Custom Shop.
Load-Out: This section lists the weapons the vehicle is equipped with as standard. ‘None’ means
there are no weapons as standard.
If there are options listed to swap out original load-out weapons, and you select from these options,
you may incur additional points’ cost and use of structure points. These will be noted in the options
listed.
Vehicle Options: Any options that can be applied to the vehicle such as carrying a passenger or
changing out a weapon.
Vehicle Special Rules: Any special rules that apply to this vehicle.
Crew: The number of crew for the model as standard. The points’ cost for the crew is included in the

77
cost of the vehicle.
Crew Characteristics: These determine the skill level of a model and how it performs in the game. If
there are multiple crew options that require different characteristics, these will also be listed.
Gear: Any equipment that the crew uses as part of the standard points’ cost. It is followed by the pro-
files for that equipment.
Crew Options: Any additional options that may be purchased for use by the crew. All options will
specify the cost for having that option.
Crew Special Rules: Any special rules that apply to the crew.
Profiles for Custom-Built Vehicles

Vehicles built using the vehicle customization rules in Mac’s Body Shop have profiles determined by
the selections made to create that model.
They are classified as vehicles from the Warriors of the Wastelands section and are available to be
used by Lotek, Nomad or Warriors of the Wasteland forces.

78
Warriors of the Wastelands

The Warlands are littered with small communities and roaming gangs that live and survive on a day-
to-day basis; begging or stealing for anything they need to survive. Although they do not have the
savagery of the Loteks or the bartering skills of the Nomads, they can still pose a threat to anyone
who gets in their way.

May add Armor Piercing Rounds to the Scoped Rifle for additional 1 point.
Special Rules:
Movement – Molers may move underground via a network of tunnels and can appear anywhere
on the board.
At the beginning of the game, the Molers are not deployed. They can only activate for the first
time in the pedestrian sequence of Phase 2 during the second round as it is considered that
they are digging tunnels during Round 1.
Upon first activation, place the model anywhere on the table, and move 1d6” in a random direc-
tion to determine where the Moler will appear. Place a Moler Hole marker at that point on the
table. Moler Holes remain on the board and can be used again with no deviation. This includes
enemy Moler Holes as Molers will use any tunnel available.
Once in play Molers can only either move or shoot on the turn they appear.
For subsequent activations, Molers can either move on the table as a pedestrian or go under-
ground and use a tunnel.
To use a tunnel, remove model from the table and miss the following activation. After missing
an activation, place the Moler on the table at an existing Moler Hole, or at another location and
move 1d6” in a random direction to determine where the Moler appears out of the new hole.
Molers do not have to remain in unit cohesion when in play, but must activate together unless
the Rule of 10 is in effect in which case they can operate as Independent Characters.

Range: 8” ROF: 1
Special Rules:
Make a control roll to attach grapple to target vehicle. Once attached, the two vehicles are as-
sumed to be going the same speed. The following activation after the grapple is attached, the
attacker may ‘reel in’ and either plant bombs or put boarders onto the target vehicle. Once the
action has been carried out, the player may release the grapple completely, or just loosen the
line, fall back up to 4”, and let his vehicle be towed along.
If the vehicle stays attached and is being towed, it travels at the towing vehicle’s current speed
and is assumed to follow it exactly with no rolls needing to be made.
If the towing vehicle is destroyed, the towed model must immediately make a control roll to re-
lease the cable. If failed, it goes out of control. If the towed vehicle is a Bike or Sand Surfer, it is
automatically destroyed and removed from play.
When a vehicle is being towed by another vehicle that is traveling at a speed level higher than
the towed vehicle can travel, use the TN of the towing vehicle and add 1 to get the TN of the
towed vehicle.
If the towing vehicle has weapons that can shoot at the towed vehicle under standard activation
rules, they get the +2 bonus for close range shooting even if the towed vehicle is more than 2”
behind.

Special Rules:
The Tombstone has its own Armor and Damage profile: AM: 7 DM: 6 when attacked from the

When the Tombstone is in place, the vehicle’s maximum speed is Cruising.
If the Tombstone is in place and the vehicle is rammed from the rear, an additional 2d6 damage
is done to the rammer who must then pass a control test at –1 for each speed level above Slow.
The Tombstone may be released as a free action at any time.
When released, the Tombstone will travel straight backwards with a 1” wide area as follows de-
pendent on the speed of your vehicle:
Slow = Tombstone drops to the ground immediately behind your vehicle.
Cruising = D6” + 1” backwards.
Any model in the path of the Tombstone takes 2d10 damage and must make a control roll.
When shooting at the Tombstone, if a roll on the Devastating Damage Table is required (a criti-
cal hit or 10 on a damage roll), the Tombstone takes 1 additional point of damage instead of
rolling on the table.

Driver and Passenger receive 4+ save against damage, including a result on the Devastating
Damage Table that causes the Driver or Passenger to take damage.
Push Through – the Valiant may perform a Push Through if rammed from the front, or it hits a

Truck Stop
The truck bounced over the gullies in the road; the gasoline cans crashing together in the back.
“I can’t see them? Where are they? Have we lost them?” Gus yelled as he wildly tried to search
through the window at the road behind.
“How would I know, you’re the one who’s looking. I’m driving not looking around. That’s your job!”
Jack screamed back, fighting with the wheel and trying to keep the truck on the road.
“I can hear them, but I can’t… no, wait, here they come. Get us out of here!” Gus was frantic as he
tried to grab the wheel.
“Get off, you moron. Get the shotgun; leave me to drive!”
They could both hear the yells of the Lotek gang as they raced over the hill behind them. Three,
then four, then six buggies screamed into view.
Jack threw the wheel to the left as the ground erupted in an explosion of dirt narrowly missing their
truck. Swerving off the road and onto open ground, Jack fought to keep the truck moving. The metal
gasoline barrels in the rear truck bed crashed against each other, their contents sloshing around.
Suddenly, a Lotek buggy drew alongside, the mohawked driver screaming at them as the gun-
ner on the back, a long haired Lotek wearing leather shorts and shoulder pads aimed his Spud gun.
Instinctively, Gus leaned out as far as he could and opened up with the shotgun. The buggy swerved
away violently with the driver slumped against the wheel, his Mohawk awash with blood. The truck
jolted as another blast narrowly missed them and Gus fought desperately to hold on as he struggled
to get back into his seat. Bullets bounced off the bodywork as the remaining buggies moved in for the
kill.
Something warm and wet hit the side of his face, as Gus turned and saw Jack slumped at the
wheel, a gaping hole through the side of his head. He frantically tried to grab the wheel, but the truck
was too far out of control and crashed to a jarring halt in a ditch.
Gus scrambled to get out of the truck, dropping the shotgun in his panic. He fell out of the door and
onto the dusty ground just as a buggy screeched to a halt beside to him. He felt someone grab the
back of his neck and drag his head up.
“Well, boys, we got ourselves a live one here. Fresh meat on the menu tonight!”

LONERS
Life on the road is a lonely existence for those that choose not to rely for their survival on a group
or gang, but trust instead on their own skills. Over the years, legends have grown up around these
people; stories spreading from community to community, traveler to traveler, until these individuals
have become more than just a passing stranger, but heroes that will come to help in a time of need.
But legends can be deceptive.
Loners are just mercenaries who will offer their services to the highest bidder. If you have something
they need then you can get their help and they will be loyal while you are willing to pay their high
price.
When building your force, you may hire a Loner, but you must still follow the restrictions specific to the
game level you have selected (see Game Level)
If you select a Loner for your Lotek or Nomad force, they are not subject to the Special Rules for that
force.
For example: if you select a Loner for your Lotek force, his weapons do not suffer from the Neglect
special rule that applies to other weapons in the Lotek force.

vated. Max rolls 2d6 +CC as standard. If the pedestrian survives Max’ attack, he can only make
his attack roll against Max and not the Stranger. However, the Stranger can make a retaliatory
attack. At the end of close combat, all survivors remain in close combat.
If the Stranger attacks another pedestrian in close combat, Max will leap in and attack with him.
If the pedestrian survives the close combat attack by the Stranger, move Max into close com-
bat. Max will attack before any retaliatory attack is made. Max rolls 2d6 +CC as standard. If the
pedestrian survives Max’ attack, he can then only make his attack roll against Max and not the
Stranger. At the end of close combat, all survivors remain in close combat.

NOMADS
Not everyone in the Warlands has gone back to the basics of savagery and chaos; some have tried to
retain remnants of civilization. This is not an easy task in a world where civilization has been crushed,
but Nomads are made up of hardy men, women and children who have learnt to survive by working
together in the harsh unforgiving environment of the wastelands. Nomads form small communities
that rarely stay in one place for long. Intent on scavenging what they can, they set up camps to act
as staging grounds for forays into the local area to search for supplies, and to harvest scrap metal to
keep their vehicles moving.
Each group of Nomads is different yet they all live by the same principles. They prefer to have struc-
ture and order in their everyday lives; electing a leader and taking orders from those they have put
in a position of authority. They cling to these ways of the old world in the belief that creating a power
structure will keep them safe and eventually lead to a better place for them to live.
Nomads also have rudimentary laws and to enforce those laws there are the Nomad Militia. The Mi-
litia acts as law enforcement in Nomad communities, dealing out punishment to anyone who breaks
the law or puts the Nomad camp at risk. They also protect the community from outside threats as they
are always on their guard against intruders. Nomad camps are not the friendliest of places, but if they
admit you into their community and you are willing to work and abide by their laws, it can be a haven
for a Loner looking for a place to stay awhile.

Nomad Special Rules
• Alliances – If there is more than 1 Nomad force in the game and they are playing as an alli-
ance (not attacking each other), at the beginning of each round, each Nomad player should
roll 1d10. On a roll of a 10, the alliance will break and all Nomad forces will be targets for each
other.
• Leadership – A Nomad Champion will never challenge the leader regardless of how much of
the starting force is lost.
A Nomad Champion will only take over as a leader of the force if the original leader has been
killed.
• Barter – Nomads are excellent traders and negotiators. When hiring Loners, they always aim
to get the best deal.
If a Nomad player chooses one or more Loners when building their force, he must negotiate
the points’ cost for one of the Loners. Roll 1d6 and consult the following table:
D6 Roll Result
1 No Show. The Loner is insulted. He still takes your money, but just don’t show up for
the battle! Pay the points, but the Loner cannot be used in the game.

Jake peered through the dust as his car skidded to a halt on the desert road. He couldn’t see a
thing, but he knew there was something out there, something big. He had seen it as he came over the
brow of the hill, and had braked hard to avoid a collision with the dark shadow in the road.
Although the dust was starting to settle, he still couldn’t see anything. Thinking he could hear the
scraping of metal off to his left, he reached down to restart the stalled engine. At that moment, the
side of his car was peeled away like a tin can. He caught a passing glimpse of a large metal claw as
it ripped the bodywork off the side of his vehicle like tearing paper off a parcel. Beside the car stood a
huge metal machine, its powerful claw preparing to smash again into the metal shell of his car. Inside
the metal frame, Jake could see the figure of a man. Through all the grease and grime, he also saw a
smile that would stay with him for the rest of his very short life.
The smell of hydraulic fluid assaulted his nostrils as Jake scrambled for his gun. The grind of metal
gears cut through the air as the barrel of a mini-gun faced off against Jake’s small automatic pistol.
It was no contest as a barrage of bullets ripped into the driver’s compartment in a burst of blood and
metal.

LOTEKS
The scream of a Lotek strikes fear into the heart of any traveler on the savage roadways of the War-
lands as Lotek gangs cruise the blacktop looking for easy prey. They never trade, they only steal,
and if you don’t give up what you have and if you are very lucky, they will kill you without a second
thought. Your worst nightmare will be if they throw you in their food wagon like a piece of meat to be
savored later. Loteks turned to cannibalism long ago as an easy way of getting food.
Loteks are unruly and have no respect for authority. They only follow their leader as long as the
leader is doing well, but will not hesitate to switch allegiances. It is so easy for them to slit the throat
of one leader and move on to the next. Challenges for leadership are common and Champions will of-
ten rise through the ranks to take over as leader although any new leader has to prove himself before
being accepted.
Loteks just love their weapons as much as they love using them to kill. However, you will never see
a Lotek stripping down a rifle, cleaning it and putting it back together again. To a Lotek, if a weapon
works, they use it; if it doesn’t, they toss it and steal another.
Always on the move, Loteks never form communities, something that is abhorrent to them as vestiges
of a past long gone. They only stay in one place long enough to strip the place bare and to get a good
hardy meal from any residents that cross their path. They abide by no laws other than the laws of
survival. For them, it is kill or be killed, nothing more, nothing less.

115
Lotek gangs rarely form an alliance. If they ever do, it is tenuous and easily broken. They remain long
enough to complete a specific goal, but are then just as likely to turn on their partners and try to kill
them. Loteks are all about looking after themselves and they let nothing get in their way.
Lotek Special Rules
• Neglect – When rolling to hit, Lotek weapons jam on the roll of a double. They are still consid-
ered to have hit if they make the target number, but the weapon is now considered useless. This
does not include bows, crossbows, the grapple gun, or bladed weapons.
• Ferocious – If a Lotek is attacked in close combat and survives, he may automatically make
a retaliatory attack as standard. However, if the opponent is killed in that retaliatory attack, the
Lotek may then move up to 2” and attack another opponent even though it is not his activation.
• Alliances – If there is more than 1 Lotek force in the game and they are playing as an alliance
(not attacking each other), at the beginning of each round, each Lotek player should roll 1d6.
On a roll of a 6, the alliance will break and all Lotek forces will be targets for each other.

dead or the fire goes out.
If a Flamethrower hits an open vehicle, any passenger or crew that are exposed are considered
hit.

Gus felt a pounding in his head as he opened his eyes. Where the hell was he? It was pitch black
and he couldn’t see a thing. Reaching up, he touched the back of his head and his hand came away
wet. He struggled to sit up, trying to remember how he got here. As the mists started to clear, he re-
membered the ambush. The Loteks had been everywhere. They had been trying to escape and then
Jack…he cursed as he remembered the hole in Jack’s head. That’s when they had crashed and the
Loteks…he shook his head; he remembered nothing after that.
Trying to stand up, Gus found his ankles were bound with rusty metal shackles connected by a
large chain. And that was when the smell hit him! A disgusting, cloying, gut-renching stench that made
his stomach churn. Resisting the urge to throw-up, and now with an urgent need to find out where he
was, Gus reached out to feel around him. His fingers cautiously searched the shadows until he they
came up against what felt like human flesh. It was a hand...
“Who’s there? Where are we?” His voice was low as he tugged at the limp fingers.
With one movement, the hand came toward him suddenly, and he realized that was all it was – a
hand! Shock and horror washed over him as he tossed the body part away into the darkness. At that
same moment, light drove the darkness away as a door suddenly opened behind him, and for the first
time Gus could see the full horror that surrounded him.
Hanging from chains or just slumped in heaps on the floor, rotting corpses were everywhere. Some
were missing body parts; others had slices of flesh missing; all were oozing with maggots.
“So boys, what we gonna choose for tonight? A nice steak or a good stew; we could even do a bar-
becue as we have plenty of ribs! My turn to cook so name your choice!”
The figure in the doorway turned and Gus could see he wore a heavily stained apron.
“Hey, we’ve got a live one here – we could even do sushi!”
