Battle
Cargo CrawlerA lumbering cargo crawler is crossing the battlefield, while it seems impervious to damage, they certainly aren’t stopping either.
Set up a large vehicle on the road touching one of the battlefield edges, each turn in the end phase it moves 6” across the battlefield directly towards the opposite battlefield edge. If it reaches the opposite edge of the battlefield it leaves on the subsequent end phase.
If the cargo crawler runs over a model, they immediately take a strength 8 damage 3 hit before being moved to the side.
Fighters may loot the cargo crawler while in base contact by performing a loot (basic) action. After performing this action, place a loot casket next to the fighter, this casket can be moved but cannot be opened.
Fighters within 1” of both a loot casket and the battlefield edge may flee the battle in the end phase. Taking the loot with them. They do not count towards bottle checks.
Crawler GuardsThe has a number of Crawler Guards onboard protecting the loot crates from would-be pirates.
Crawler Guards activate in the same manner as roaming horrors with the (Cautious) nature. Although they will never leave the transport area of the Crawler. If they get knocked off the crawler they will instead try to get back onboard rather than attack.
The crawleer has has 5 Crawler Guards on board, one must be a Skinflint, with the rest being Grovellers
