Ghost Shipment

From the black waters of the Sump Sea, a derelict barge drifts into view - rust-eaten and heavy with forgotten cargo. No one knows where it came from or why it has surfaced now, but whispers spread fast in the Badzone. Gangs rush to stake their claim, each one eager to seize the “ghost shipment” before it sinks back into the mire… or before something else comes to collect it.

Ghost Barge​

A silent Ghost Barge is drifitng across the battlefield, there's no crew to be seen and it gives off an unsettling aura.

Each 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. The Ghost Barge destroys any terrain it runs into.

Fighters wishing to board the Ghost Barge must pass a nerve check, if failed they become spooked and their activaiton ends.

Sealed Crates​

  • Sealed Crates are treated as Loot Caskets for the purposes of movement (a fighter may pick one up, carry it, and drop it as normal).
  • Unlike Loot Caskets, Sealed Crates cannot be opened during the battle. Their value is only realised once they are returned safely.
  • To claim a Sealed Crate, a fighter must be within 1" of the crate At the end of the battle.

Heavy Cargo

  • Sealed Crates are particularly cumbersome. While carrying one, a fighter’s Movement is halved (rounding up).
  • Fighters with fly also lose this ability while moving a Sealed Crate
  • Fighters with at least 4 strength may ignore this penalty.
