A repost for additional equipment for warcasters that can run off the excess power generated by the suit’s arcane turbine:

@Morgan_Coalburn

The full rules for installing upgrades in suits of warcaster armour can be found in Gearbooks 1-3.

Squad Transference Link

Mechanikal Warcaster Armour Upgrade
Cost: 300 gc
Effect: While a suit of warcaster armour fitted with a squad-transference link is running its arcane turbine at full steam, a different warcaster can bond to the device. During their activation, that different warcaster may then spend any focus points on this warcaster, who is wearing the suit of warcaster armour fitted with a squad transference link, as though they were their own focus points, as long as both warcasters are within each other’s Control Areas.

Morgan’s Notes: These devices are often installed in the suits of junior warcasters so they can bolster the power of the warcaster serving as their instructor, and are especially popular with mercenary outfits or other units who expect to have to stray far from supply lines, as the device allows them to pool their remaining resources in an efficient and versatile fashion when they start running out of warjacks.
Equally often, if more rarely encountered because of the rarity of the warcasting talent, pairs of senior warcasters outfit both of their suits with these devices and bond to each other’s squad transference links so they can better support each other’s flanks at a moment’s notice when battlefield conditions dictate it.

Power Requirement: 2
Installation: Installing a squad transference link requires two hours of labour followed by a successful INT+Mechanikal Engineering roll against a target number of 14.
Fabrication: The material cost of the squad transference link’s parts is 100 gc. It takes two weeks to construct the device. Fabricating a squad transference link requires the Inscribe Formulae ability as well as a successful INT+Mechanikal Engineering roll against a target number of 14.

A repost of a very versatile rune for mechanikal weapons that enables the user to trade off accuracy for stopping power or the other way round:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Adaptive Strike

Mechanikal Runeplate
Type: Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon (ranged weapons without RNG:SP and with AOE: - only)
Cost: 300 gc
Rune Points: 2
Effect: While a weapon equipped with this rune is powered, the character making an attack with this weapon rolls an additional die on the attack roll and must then remove one die of their choice from the result, but retain the number rolled. If the attack hits, one of the die results of the damage roll against the character directly hit by the attack must then be replaced with the die retained from the attack roll.

Examples: Firing a mechanikal rifle equipped with the adaptive strike rune at a Khadoran warjack, Morgan rolls 6, 4 and 1 on the attack roll. Knowing that Khadoran 'jacks are not nimble at all but have thick armour, Morgan retains the result of 6, leaving an attack roll of 4 and 1, which is just enough for even a poor shot like Morgan (POI+Rifle 5) to hit his mark. When making the damage roll, Morgan then rolls 5 and 2, and switches out the 2 for the result of 6 retained from the attack roll, increasing his chances of punching through the 'jack’s armour.
If Morgan had instead been fighting a Stalker, a very nimble but poorly armoured Cryxian bonejack, Morgan would have instead kept the result of 1 from the attack roll, enhancing his chances at hitting his elusive target by keeping the results of 6 and 4, but then he would have had to swap out one of the dice from the damage roll for the result of 1 he retained from the attack roll.

Comments welcome, as usual.

A repost of a modification for melee weapons inspired by a certain gory video game:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Serrated Edge

[Melee Weapon Modification]

Cost: +20% base weapon’s cost (bladed weapon only)
Attack Modifier: base weapon’s attack modifier -1 (see below)

Description: Giving a bladed weapon a serrated edge means slashes with it will more likely inflict painful, if somewhat superficial, injuries on creatures not wearing armour, though the weapon will also more easily snag on actual armour, making it more difficult to actually cut deep.
Special Rules: When making attacks against a living character who does not get an ARM bonus from worn armour, this weapon does not inflict an additional attack roll penalty and gains +1 POW.
On a critical hit with this weapon against a living character who does not gain an ARM bonus from worn armour, the attacker may spend a feat point to cripple the aspect damaged first by this weapon’s damage roll for one round (If the target character does not use a life spiral, they suffer -2 STR for one round instead).
Special: Double-edged bladed weapons can have one serrated and one non-serrated edge, though this does not affect the cost of making the weapon. Switching between the edges requires the wielder to adjust their grip by using a quick action.

Comments welcome, as usual.

A repost of some musings of issues with the way Skorne “currency” is handled when resolving Craft skill rolls:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Skorne Crafting Times and SL Cost

Original Entry: MIKG2, p. 139

When determining how quickly Skorne equipment can be fabricated using the Crafting skill rules, use the following table:

Roll Result	Progress
8 or less	No progress
9-12	1 sl x skill level
13-16	2 sl x skill level
17-20	3 sl x skill level
21+	4 sl x skill level

Morgan’s Notes: The Skorne Crafting Times and sl Cost table in IKRPG2, p. 139, does not take the skill level of the worker into account. It should also be considered that most slave labourers will probably not have skill levels above 2, and the majority will have skill level 1 .

The above table can also be used to convert sl cost and gc cost for gear from IKRPG and IKU by assuming 1 sl equals 5 gc.

Comments welcome, as usual.

A repost of a mechanikal rune that alters how aiming works if it is installed in a mechanikal gun:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Quick-Aim (Revised after comment on Iron Kingdoms Discord)

Mechanikal Rune
Type: Ranged Weapon
Cost: 300 gc
Rune Points: 2

Effect: While the mechanikal ranged weapon equipped with this rune is powered, the character wielding this weapon can spend a quick action to gain a +2 aiming bonus to their next ranged attack roll with this weapon in the current activation.
The aiming bonus provided by this rune is not cumulative with the aiming bonus a character gains by forfeiting their movement, but like the normal aiming bonus it can be further enhanced by gear like scopes and bipods that only provides benefits for aimed ranged attacks (see IKRPG, pp. 272-273). Additionally, the aiming bonus gained via the quick-aim rune also allows abilities like Arcane Precision (see IKRPG, p. 157) or Sniper (see IKRPG, p. 167) to be used. Any restrictions to these pieces of equipment and abilities still apply (e.g. characters only being able to use the Sniper ability on the first ranged attack each round).

Morgan’s Notes: Although the quick-aim rune can benefit weapons with RNG:SP too, this is usually not very efficient, as the character wielding such a weapon would need to spend a quick action for each separate attack roll (though they could also decide to make as many quick actions as they can and then get the aiming bonus only on those attack rolls they wish to benefit from aiming).

Comments welcome, as usual.

A repost of an idea for warcaster armour equipment that can help characters who want to - or have to - rely on spells rather than warjacks:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Spellbond Constructer

Warcaster Armour upgrade (see Gearbooks I or II PDFs for a rules proposal for upgrading warcaster armour)

Cost: 150 gc

Effect: While a suit of warcaster armour fitted with a spellbond constructer is running its arcane turbine at full steam, a Veteran-level warcaster can use a free bond slot to bond to the spellbond constructer and cast an upkeep spell through the device, after which the spell’s upkeep cost is reduced by 1 (This means that, normally, the warcaster will not have to spend any focus to upkeep the spell, though effects like the Lamentation spell (see IKRPG, p. 241) that increase upkeep costs mean the warcaster may have to spend focus to make up the difference when upkeeping the spell in the constructer).

Each spellbond constructer can only support a single spell simultaneously, and casting a spell through the device does not require any of the additional effort that forging a bond normally entails. A suit of warcaster armour can be equipped with any number of spellbond constructers (though there is no point to installing more constructers than the number of upkeep spells known by the warcaster, or greater than the power available from the arcane turbine).

Morgan’s Notes: In most cases, warcasters keep spellbond constructers in reserve for when they start losing their warjacks during a battle, which simultaneously frees up the bond slots and also increases the warcaster’s need to rely more on pouring arcane power into spells and their own attacks and defenses.

Power Requirement: 1

Installation: Installing a spellbond constructer requires two hours of labour followed by a successful INT+Mechanikal Engineering roll against a target number of 13.

Fabrication: The material cost of the spellbond constructer’s parts is 50 gc. It takes one week to construct the device. Fabricating a spellbond constructer requires the Inscribe Formulae ability as well as a successful INT+Mechanikal Engineering roll against a target number of 13.

A repost of a piece of Cyriss-tech that aids clockwork vessel warcasters in managing spread-out battlegroups:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Augmented Induction Distributor [Clockwork Vessel Upgrade]

Cyriss-Tech

Prerequisite: Focuser

Vectors in this character’s battlegroup and in their Control Area double the distance at which they can induct focus into other vectors (Normally, this means focus can be inducted into vectors within 12” of each other).

Comments welcome, as usual.

[Morgan_Coalburn]

A repost of a dedicated mechanikal device that can quickly - if usually temporarily - imprint visual information on the user’s brain:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Memoriser Lens

Cost: 510 gc (capacitor not included)

Description: Ironically also known both as Angellia’s Funnel and Eye of Ekris, this device looks not dissimilar to a particularly fat, conduit-wrapped magnifying glass a little larger than a fist that is powered by an alchemical capacitor installed in the handle. Viewing any visual information through the device’s lens imprints it on the user’s memory, allowing perfect recall for a substantial period of time, though imprinting more than one set of facts simultaneously will have a cumulative negative impact on this retention.

Rune Points: 3

Special Rules: If a character with the Photographic Memory Intellectual archetype benefit (see IKRPG, p. 116) uses a powered memoriser lens, they can simply read extremely fast, and can, for example, perfectly recall a page from a book they looked at through the memoriser lens for one turn.
A character without this archetype benefit can also acquire visual information at the same speed with the aid of a memoriser lens and gains equally perfect recall, but this recall only lasts for a number of weeks equal to the sum of their INT and PER, plus 1d3. Additionally, each additional set of visual information imprinted in this manner before the first has faded reduces the time during which perfect recall is possible by one week for each additional set of information. This penalty is cumulative and applies to all imprinted sets of information, including those imprinted during previous sessions (This also means that eventually imprints begin to cancel each other out, effectively “freeing up” mental space again).
Furthermore, when a character without the Photographic Memory Intellectual archetype benefit imprints visual information with the aid of a memoriser lens, information they cannot understand counts as an additional set of imprints (e.g. if a character without any understanding of mechanika tries to memorise runeplate or conduit schematics). Imprinting pictographic information or unknown languages rather than texts written in a language the user understands also counts as an additional set of information. Last but not least, the GM has the final say as to whether visual information constitutes a coherent set (e.g. a novel would be considered a single set of visual information, as would the schematics of a piece of dedicated mechanika, but a standard weapon runeplate and the conduit configurations of a generic mechanikal weapon should be considered two sets of information, as they are not intrinsically linked).

Morgan’s Notes: Organisations with a lot of proprietary information are usually very leery of anybody using memoriser lenses, as these devices would allow easy theft of their intellectual property. Spies intending to use these devices have to get creative when hiding these devices for this very reason. Surprisingly, however, many academic institutions are less concerned with the device, as it only allows recall of information, not understanding, so individuals trying to use memoriser lenses to cheat on their exams are usually caught very quickly by their rote repetitions and inability to explain the material (also, the lens only allows retention of visual information, which limits its usefulness in academic settings that involve discussion and practical experiences as much as scholarship).

Fabrication: The material cost of the memoriser lens’s parts is 25 gc. It takes three weeks to construct the device. The pertinent Craft skill for construction is Craft (glassworking).
The memoriser lens’s runeplate takes three weeks to inscribe and requires a successful INT+Mechanikal engineering roll aga

inst a target number of 15.

A repost of a mechanikal rune for when you cannot afford to get out of your armour to get some sleep:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Comfortable

Mechanikal Rune
Type: Armour
Cost: 150 gc
Rune Points: 1

Effect: While the suit of armour equipped with this rune is powered, the wearer of this suit of armour is not discomfited by being in armour for prolonged periods of time, and can even get restful sleep while in armour (This rune also has some of the functionality of the cleanly rune (see MIKG3), making sure the wearer does not easily become infested with the kinds of parasites that would thrive if a suit of armour wasn’t taken off regularly, and also making the wearer of the suit of armour much less of a strain on their companions’ noses).

Morgan’s Notes: Most individuals interested in having this rune installed in their mechanikal suits of armour also include an armour runeplate selector (see MIKG1, p. 81) so they can quickly switch between “rest mode” and “combat” configurations.
Alternatively, the comfortable rune can be installed in a clockwork talisman (see MIKG3), which easily allows multiple individuals to benefit from its effects by simply giving the talisman to whoever has to currently stay in full armour during their period of rest.
Last but not least, this rune also enjoys popularity with sufficiently wealthy individuals who have trouble sleeping because of the sleep positions they are forced into (e.g. a character recovering from broken bones who cannot move into a comfortable position because of their splints and bandages).

A repost of a Nyss-inspired light myrmidon fighting with two swords:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Khione [Light Shyeel Myrmidon]

“The scorn began to die in the man-o-war kapitan’s throat as the slight forms of the strange machines danced through the covering fire laid down by his supporting winter guard detachment, sudden flurries of snow confusing their aim and flaring force fields absorbing the few bullets that found their mark, and then the machines were among them, with bladework that was uncanny for mere devices scissoring the foremost two man-o-war suits apart in just as many seconds before plunging their blades home for the kill…”

Based on the Gorgon light myrmidon chassis, the Khione is the first product of a clandestine cooperation between Nyss refugees and Iosan arcanikal engineers, though whether its existence will lead to a purge of this alliance or promote the healing of the ancient rift between the Nyss and Ios is yet to be seen.
Bearing blades modeled after the trademark swords of Nyss warriors and wielding them with their customary graceful sweeping strikes, as well as incorporating a unique modulation of its force field that shrouds the Khione in a distortion that does not only look like wind-blown snow but also shields the myrmidon from being affected by cold-based attacks, it is clear at first glance that this unique design is a fascinating marriage of Iosan arcanikal engineering and Nyss traditions.

PHY	SPD	STR	AGL	PRW	POI	MAT	RAT	INT	PER
8	6	8	5	5	4	7	4	2	2

Initiative	DEF	ARM
13	13	16

Damage Grid: see Gorgon Warmachine stat card

Melee Armament: Claymore (Left Arm, Right Arm; POW 4, POW+S 12. While neither of the Khione’s Arm systems is crippled, a Khione armed with a pair of claymores can make a combo attack with both of its claymores simultaneously, using both of the myrmidon’s initial attacks to make a single devastating strike. Make a melee attack. On a hit, make a damage roll with a POW equal to the STR of the myrmidon plus twice the POW of this weapon).

Base Size: Medium

Cortex: Custom Iosan aurum-grade equivalent (INT 2, PER 2; the cortex has been modified to grant +2 MAT but does not grant a RAT bonus)

Power Field: 6 boxes

Field-Dependent: When this character’s Field Generator system (G) is crippled, this character loses Immunity: Cold and Snow-Wreathed.

Immunity: Cold

Open Fists: Both of the Khione’s arm systems are equipped with light myrmidon fists.

Powerful Attack: When making a claymore attack or claymore combo attack, the myrmidon can spend a point of focus to boost both its attack and damage roll for that attack.

Snow-Wreathed: The Khione always has concealment.

Peak Operational Duration: 2.5 hrs combat

A repost of an upgrade for vectors that can yield impressive results but also poses some danger to the warcaster controlling the vector:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Enhanced Interface Node [Vector Upgrade]

Cost: 300 gc (light and heavy vector) / 600 gc (colossal vector)

Description: This device replaces the standard interface node in a Cyrissist vector and grants the warcaster bonded to the vector enhanced situational awareness in order to facilitate defensive maneuvers. Unfortunately, this close connection can also cause severe feedback if the system becomes damaged.

Special Rules: A vector equipped with an enhanced interface node gains +1 DEF for every point of its controlling warcaster’s PER above 3 as long as the vector’s interface node system is not crippled and the vector is in its controlling warcaster’s Control Area.

If the interface node of a vector equipped with this upgrade is crippled while it is within its controlling warcaster’s Control Area, the warcaster suffers painful feedback:

• A living warcaster suffers 1d3 points of damage to their Intellect aspect, ignoring their power field (if their Intellect is already crippled or becomes crippled before all damage has been applied, any remaining damage is randomly assigned to other branches of their life spiral). If a living warcaster becomes disabled due to damage suffered this way, they do not have to roll on the Injury Table but automatically suffer the Concussed result (see IKRPG, pp. 216-217).
• A clockwork vessel warcaster instead suffers a roll on the Clockwork Vessel Internal Damage Table (see NQ48, p. 67), but ignores any results except for 4 (Loss of Power) and 6 (Essence Chamber Damaged).

Installing an enhanced interface node into a vector of Cyriss or repairing a damaged enhanced interface node is handled in the same manner as installing a cortex in a steamjack (see IKRPG, p. 320).

Enhanced interface nodes are not available on the open market and can only be produced by or acquired from temples of Cyriss.

[Morgan_Coalburn]

A repost of an interesting firearm that fills the gap between standard pistols and hand cannons:

@Gabrieljusti

Heavy pistol, Bore loader

Cost: 30gc
Ammo: 1
Effective range: 36’(6")
Maximum range: 180’
Skill: Pistol
Attack modifier: -1
POW: 12
AoE: -
Description: a simple stout and formidable pistol for those who belive the conventional pistol has to little stopping power and have no need for the range of or budget for a hand cannon, sacrificing acuracy for extra power, normaly weilded in a pistol bandolier since it takes too long in combat to reload
Special rules: This weapon is a muzzle loader firear therefore taking an entire combate round to reload instead of a fast action(IKRPG core 206).
bulets, blasting powder and casings for five rounds cost 3gc

Heavy pistol, breach loader

Cost: 45gc
Ammo: 1
Effective range: 36’(6")
Maximum range: 180’
Skill: Pistol
Attack modifier: -1
POW: 12
AoE: -
Description: a simple stout and formidable pistol for those who belive the conventional pistol has to little stopping power and have no need for the range of or budget for a hand cannon, sacrificing acuracy for extra power.
Special rules: Bulets, blasting powder and casings for five rounds cost 3 gc.

[Morgan_Coalburn]

A repost of equipment to make a Grolar Khadoran warjack in the FMF role-playing game:

@Gabrieljusti

I just remenbered theres no rules to build a grolar on the FMF versin so here is my take

Autocanon(Heavy steamjack only)

Cost: 550gc
Type: Ranged
Location: Arm
Ammo: 50
Effective range: 48’(8")
Maximum range: 240’
Attack modifier: 0
Pow: 12
Description: Heavy double barreled automatic fire arm affized to the wrist of the ‘jack, gifted of an unmatched rate of fire, normaly used on the Khadoran grolar left arm, it has two ammo canisters one on its left and one on its right each carries 25 rounds.
Special rules: this weapon may only be fired once per round. However, it may be fired on burst mode, if fired on burst mod it spends ten(10) rounds of ammunition and ti makes D3+2 attacks against a primary target and up to 3 secondary targets up to 12’(2") from the primary target. Ignore intervening characters when declaring secondary targets. A secondary target cannot be targeted by more attacks than the primary target.
Ignore intervening characters
Reloading the autocannon outside of combat takes ten minutes and can be accomplished by any character with the Mechanikal Engineering skill without a die roll.
The autocannon fires metal-cased heavy infantry rounds. It costs 4 gc for blasting powder, bullets, and metal casings for five heavy rounds.
This weapon was designed especially for the Juggernaut chassis but can be integrated into any heavy steamjack arm with an Open Fist. Integrating an underarm metal storm into an
Juggernaut chassis’ arm system requires the proper tools, four hours of labor, and a successful INT + Mechanikal Engineering

Piston Hammer(Heavy steamjack only)

Cost: 1850gc
Type: Melee
Location: Arm
Attack modifier: 0
Pow: 6
Description: The piston hammer is a heavy mechanikal hammer used to deliver incredible force to batter oponents around, heavily damaging enemys and knocking them down so they are easyer targets for its own other weapons or alies with poor acurracy, normaly powered by an arcanodynamic acumulator.
Special rule: A steamjack must have a non-crippled arm system with an Open Fist to pick up the quake hammer. While wielding the quake hammer, the steamjack cannot make attacks with the fist that holds the weapon. If the arm system holding the quake hammer is crippled, the steamjack can continue fighting with the weapon but suffers the penalties for the crippled system.
During this model activation, when this model hits an enemy model, the enemy model is knocked down, aditionaly can be pushed 6’(1") and you can follow up to 6’(1").
If this weapon does not have a functional accumulator, its POW is reduced to 5, it gains an attack modifier of –1, it loses its l effect.
Fabrication: The material cost for the piston hammer housing is 360gc it takes at least four weeks of work, the pertinent craft skill is craft(metalworking).
The runeplate takes four weeks to engrave and a sucefull test against a t dificulty is 16 INT+mechanikal engeniering skill.

Combine arms module

Cost: 600
Description: the Combined arms module is a cortex module that allows the ‘jack to useits melee and ranged weapons in tandem simultaniusly, making hybrid’ jacks a possibility allowing them to use its full complement of weapons instead of only part.
Special rules: This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation, this model may after making its initial melee attacks make its initial ranged attacks. this model may not make ranged attacks after making a power attack.
This model ignore the penalty to use ranged weapons on melee while engaged.

[Morgan_Coalburn]

A repost of an upgrade for clockwork vessels of Cyriss that hardens their subsystems against failure:

@Morgan_Coalburn

Backup Systems [Clockwork Vessel of Cyriss Upgrade; Revised]

Prerequisite: none
Restriction: Clockwork vessels with the Light Frame trait can only take this upgrade once.
Whenever a clockwork vessel with this upgrade suffers internal damage, whether from having to make a roll on the Clockwork Vessel Internal Damage Table (see NQ48, p. 67) or from other sources (like feedback from an enhanced interface node), it rolls 1d6, and ignores the internal damage on a result of 5 or 6.
This clockwork vessel upgrade can be taken a second time to grant the clockwork vessel the ability to ignore internal damage on a result of 4, 5 or 6 instead.

[Morgan_Coalburn]

A repost of the shadow rifle helljack weapon, for all of you who serve the Dragonfather:

@Gabrieljusti

Shadow rifle(helljack only)

Cost: never for sale

Type: ranged

Location: arm

Ammo: 10

Effective range: 84’(14")

Maximun range: 420’

Attack modifier: 0

POW: 14

AoE: -

Description: as any cryxian weapon this blasphemous monstrocity has no standardization, but they tend to have slender long refled barrels inscribed with magical cryxian runes of a vile wicked appearance made of black iron and blighted gold, normaly mounted on the cryxian slayer helljack chassi.
Its most impressive feature is the black magic weaved on the weapon that make the unfortunate targets of its shots partially shadows, allowing cryxian allies to bypass hard targets such as heavy steam jacks on defensive positions.

Special rules: a target hit by this weapon does not block line of sigh, cannot make free strikes and allied models can move through it if they have enough movement to move completely past it, for one round.
It takes ten minutes to fully reload the shadow rifle outside of combat and it requires no specialized skills.
To mount this weapon it must replace the arm of a heavy warjack, by the nature of the cryxian technology, if those blasphemous objects can be called such, each weapon is made for an specific helljack, not chassi but individual helljack, to mount this weapon to the jack it was designed for it takes four hours of work and a mechanical engineering roll of 14, for another helljack made by the same necrotech the difficulty is 15 and for a helljack of another maker or non cryxian steamjack the difficulty is 16, in case of a failure the test may be undertaken in an hour work.
Replacing the arm cost 60gc if it is for another helljack of the same maker, there is an additional 50 gc tax and for a helljack of other makers or non cryxian steamjack there is an additional 100gc tax, unless it is made by the character itself then it incurs no cost .
Blasting powder, casing and projectiles for the ammo of this weapon cost 15 gc each.

[Morgan_Coalburn]

A repost of the double-barrelled scattergun, for when beatsticks need boomsticks:

@Gabrieljusti

Double barreled scattergun

Cost: 120gc

Ammo: 2

Effective range: 48’(spry8)

Maximun range: -

Skill: rifle

Attack modifier: -2(one handed) 0( two handed)

POW: 12

AoE:-

Description: a double barreled heavy rifle made to shooot a hail of projectiles in a short range
Special rules: you may shoot with both barrels at the same time, this action can only be taken if both barrels are loaded this gun recives a +3 bonus to all to damage rolls(because of projectile saturation it does not incur the traditional -2 to hit this effect would incur).
Blasting powder, casing and projectiles for this weapon cost 1 gc per shot

Sawing off
Some prefer to sawn off their scatterguns to make them more portable and concelable
Special rules: to sawn off a scatter gun( either the normal or double barreled one) the character must make a difficulty 12 craft(gunsmithing), if the character fails the gun is damaged beyond repair and must be scrapped, if he succeeds the gun is sawned off.
A sawed off gun becomes a pistol instead of a rifle, can only be used one handed and becomes range 36’(spray6), but has a + 2 bonus to be concealed.

[Morgan_Coalburn]

A repost of two interesting head-mounted ranged weapons for steamjacks:

@Gabrieljusti

"Hailing roar"Deck sweeper gun(Heavy steamjack only)

Type: ranged
Location: head
Ammo: 1
Effective range: 36’(spry6")
Maximun range:-
Attack modifier: 0
POW: 12
AoE:-
Description: a crude bore loaded scattergun mounted normally on the lower central part of a ‘jacks head where it were a living being with non distorted anatomy its mouth would be.
Special rules: Reloading this weapon takes a assistant a full round.
Blasting powder, casing and projectiles for ammunition costs 5gc
Mounting a Deck Sweeper gun on a steamjack requires the proper tools, two hours of labor, and a successful INT + Mechanikal Engineering roll against a target number of 14. If the roll fails, it can be repeated after another hour of labor.
Paying to have a Deck Sweeper gun mounted on a steamjack costs an additional 50 gc.

Dual deck Sweeper guns(Heavy steamjack only)

Cost: 450
Type: ranged
Location: head
Ammo: 2
Effective range: 36’(spry6")
Maximun range:-
Attack modifier: 0
POW: 12
AoE:-
Description: a crude pair of bore loaded scatterguns mounted in parallel on a ‘jacks head, normally on opposite sides.
Special rules: A steamjack who discharges both barrels together makes a single spray attack, adds +3 to all damage rolls(because of projectile saturation it ignores the -2 to hit roll this rule normaly incurs).
Reloading each barrel of this weapon takes a assistant a full round.
A steamjack may buy a second attack with this weapon or make a second attack with the anciliary attack drive.
Blasting powder, casing and projectiles for a round of ammunition costs 5gc.
Mounting a Dual deck Sweeper guns on a steamjack requires the proper tools, two hours of labor, and a successful INT + Mechanikal Engineering roll against a target number of 14. If the roll fails, it can be repeated after another hour of labor.
Paying to have a Dual deck Sweeper guns mounted on a steamjack costs an additional 100 gc.

A repost of a myridon for the discerning mage hunter in need of some serious and sinister firepower:

Haros [Light Shyeel Myrmidon]

“Warder Irina kept blinking furiously as she surveyed the battlefield, wondering if some kind of ailment had befallen her eyes, or whether an alchemical irritant had been deployed against them by the Eastern strangers. Try as she might, she kept seeing specks of darkness flit across her field of vision in chaotic swirls and eddies, irritating and distracting her. It was only when she found directing her magic against the sinister engine stalking towards her an unexpected struggle that she realised that her discomfort had a far more dangerous cause, but of course by then it was already much too late…”

This light Iosan myrmidon, a variant of the Gorgon, appears exceptionally sinister, perhaps not dissimilar to the infamous Moros. But while non-Gifted individuals mainly think they occasionally glimpse shadows flitting about the myrmidon before being sucked into its arcanikal nodes, those with the Gift know that the Haros is constantly – and ravenously – absorbing ambient arcane energies. Even Iosan warcasters seem uncomfortable about this, and not even the most hardened members of the Retribution have ever been observed having more than one of these myrmidons in their battlegroups. Even more disturbingly, Iosan Seekers have hinted that the construction of the Haros would never have been sanctioned by Ios, and that they have been produced in secret by sinister forces stalking the shadows of their homeland.

Damage Grid: See Gorgon Warmachine stat card

Melee Armament: Disbinder Glaive (Left Arm, Right Arm; POW 4, POW+S 12; Magical Weapon. While neither of the Haros’s Arm systems is crippled, a Haros can make a combo attack with both of its glaives simultaneously, using both of the myrmidon’s initial attacks to make a single devastating strike. Make a melee attack roll. On a hit, make a damage roll with a POW equal to the STR of the myrmidon plus twice the POW of this weapon)

Ranged Armament: Void Ray (RNG 10, POW 10, Magical Weapon, Mage Killer: Attacks with this weapon gain an additional damage die against characters who can cast spells. The Void Ray may be fired once per activation)

Base Size: Medium

Cortex: Iosan aurum-grade equivalent (INT 2, PER 2)

Power Field: 6 boxes

Arcane Defenses: This character gains +3 ARM against magic damage rolls.

Arcane Disruptor: This character always has concealment against magic attacks.

Disbinder: When this character hits an enemy with a melee attack or ranged attack, upkeep spells on the target character immediately expire.

Field-Dependent: When this character’s Field Generator system (G) is crippled, this character loses Arcane Defenses, Arcane Disruptor and Disbinder, and can no longer make Void Ray ranged attacks.

Open Fists: Both of the Haros’s arm systems are equipped with light myrmidon fists.

Peak Operational Duration: 2.5 hrs combat

A repost of two more weapons for helljacks and bonejacks, and may you never find yourselves on the receiving ends of these:

@Gabrieljusti

Vennon spewer(helljack only)

Cost: never for sale

Type: ranged

Location: arm

Ammo: 10

Effective range: 60’(spray10")

Maximun range:-

Attack modifier: 0

POW: 12

AoE: -

Description: the twisted cryxian version of a flamethrower, a profane weapon capable of horrific damage with caustic substances, theorized to have been an upscaled version of the Sludge cannon common on the monstrosities known as defilers.

Special rules: This weapon deals corrosion type damage

This weapon can only be fired once per round, switching its fuel tank takes thirty minutes outside of combat, and can be made by any character with mechanikal engineering without a roll.

This weapon can use one of three types of toxins, if they are mixed they lose their special effects:

-Corrosive: this weapon has continuous corrosion effect, each spray shot costs 10 gc

-Black ink: this weapon on a critical hit blinds the target hit for a round, each spray shot costs 5 gc

-Withering: models hit receive -2 ARM for one round, each spray shot costs 15 gc

To mount this weapon it must replace the arm of a heavy warjack, by the nature of the cryxian technology, if those blasphemous objects can be called such, each weapon is made for an specific helljack, not chassi but individual helljack, to mount this weapon to the jack it was designed for it takes four hours of work and a mechanical engineering roll of 14, for another helljack made by the same necrotech the difficulty is 15 and for a helljack of another maker or non cryxian steamjack the difficulty is 16, in case of a failure the test may be undertaken in an hour work.

Replacing the arm cost 60gc if it is for another helljack of the same maker, there is an additional 50 gc tax and for a helljack of other makers or non cryxian steamjack there is an additional 100gc tax, unless it is made by the character itself then it incurs no cost.

Sludge cannon

Cost: never for sale

Type: ranged

Location: head

Ammo: 6

Effective range: 48’(spry8")

Maximun range:-

Attack modifier: 0

POW: 12

AoE:-

Description: this blasphemous weapon is normally employed by defiler bonejacks, a small barrel with hoses coming out of it, with a wide bore with a muzzle shroud, mounted unusually on a ‘jack’s head instead of its arm.

Special rules: This weapon deals corrosion type damage

This weapon can only be fired once per round, switching its fuel tank takes thirty minutes outside of combat, and can be made by any character with mechanikal engineering without a roll.

This weapon can use one of three types of toxins, if they are mixed they lose their special effects:

-Corrosive: this weapon has continuous corrosion effect, each spray shot costs 10 gc

-Black ink: this weapon on a critical hit blinds the target hit for a round, each spray shot costs 5 gc

-Acidic: models hit receive -2 ARM for one round, each spray shot costs 15 gc

To mount this weapon it must adapt the head of a ‘jack, by the nature of the cryxian technology, if those blasphemous objects can be called such, each weapon is made for an specific ‘jack, not chassi but individual ‘jack, to mount this weapon to the jack it was designed for it takes four hours of work and a mechanical engineering roll of 14, for another ‘jack made by the same necrotech the difficulty is 15 and for another steamjack the difficulty is 16, in case of a failure the test may be undertaken in an hour work.

Adapt the head cost 60gc if it is for another ‘jack of the same maker, there is an additional 50 gc tax and for a ‘jack of other makers or non cryxian steamjack there is an additional 100gc tax, unless it is made by the character itself then it incurs no cost.

I elected to fuse the sludge cannom and black ink weapons since they were nearly identical and only diferential was one having continous corrosion and the other crittical blind, and added a nice third option
