These two new Hanger-on Gang Members might not be worth much in a fight but they have some other roles to play.

Gangs in the Underhive need a lot of things to keep them up and running. The most successful gangs aren’t afraid of bringing on some extra hands to take care of the more remedial tasks either. These two new Hanger-on members have some important functions to help out — just don’t expect too much from them in a fight.

The Slopper

“He’s a Slopper, a hanger-on who’s truly useless in a fight, but whose… uh… culinary skills are quite handy for bringing injured gangers out of recovery – presumably when they realise that the alternative is another week with nowhere to hide from his cooking.”

Sporting his own cooking station as well as some uh…questionably sourced tentacle meat the Slopper should be useful for helping your Gangers get back into the action. I’m sure his food is up to the Underhive health code.

The Scabber

“Whatever passes for style in the dingy recesses of the sump, this feller has it in spades. Scabbers are fences who can get rid of unwanted illegal goods on the Black Market – and maybe turn up a few other items that you DO want.”

Again, don’t count on them in a fire fight. However, during the after-action part of the game, his skills will come into play.

He’s good at moving goods. Send him to the Black Market so he can put his Scabber Skill to good use and score you some good loot. Hopefully.

Both of these useful chaps will be available to recruit directly from Forge World in the future. So keep your eyes out for the Slopper and Scabber!
