Necromunda - Hive War Ikarus - Scavengers

 Somewhere in the polluted depths of Hive Ikarus - two gangs converge on a black market trading post belonging to the Black Sun tech syndicate. Underworld intel rumored that these traders carried caches of off-world tech looted from a downed voidcraft in the badlands and a hefty amount of credits. 

For the Gilded Serpent (House Delaque) and the Vendetta Vixens (House Escher) The rare promise of such lucrative riches was impossible to ignore. 

(+++ The following is a Necromunda (N18) match - House of Blades Escher vs standard Delaques, mission is Scavengers - Book of Ruin. Objective to steal the loot counters (7 in this case).

  

              Judex Tul and his henchmen begin shaking down the locals for the void tech loot.

From the shadows of the south viaducts a group of cloaked gangers emerged, agents of the Gilded Serpent. Others snuck along the catwalks overhead and side corridors. The emergence of Vendetta Vixen gangers one shop stall to the west exploded the trading post into chaos.

The west alleyway exploded as stun grenades were lobbed in. Gilded Serpent gangers descended from the catwalks above, several gangers fell in the vicious close quarters struggle as sharpshooters picked away at the combatants.

 The Death Maiden - Nyxa duels with Spider Khot. He missed the twisting assassin and was struck by lasfire.

The Gilded Serpent controlled the trading post but the Vendetta gangers had already made off with three loot boxes. There was only one left to claim victory for both sides, to the northern alley.

The Gilded Serpent gangers swarmed toward the objective, blazing las shots at the Death Maiden about to claim the final tech loot. She seemed guarded by some unearthly ward preventing her from being struck by the red hot bolts stitching the alley.

Her luck held and the assassin escaped with her prize into the maintenance tunnels below. Tul vowed revenge as his gangers slinked back to the shadows with a significant amount of the void tech in tow.
He would have his chance again.
