Augmek
Augmek is a rank within House Van Saar on Necromunda and the gang's heavy weapons guy.
Overview[edit]
Working under a Prime, Augmeks support their master and follow them in all things but are always looking to usurp their superior should the opportunity arise. Beneath Augmeks are Teks and Subteks, so they are kind of somewhere in the middle of the Van Saar hierarchy.
Augmeks are well-versed in countless forms of technological wargar and utilize advanced equipment as a result. Often as aforementioned, they act as the gang's heavy troops and wield massive weapons in battle. Equipment includes Multi-meltas, Rad Guns, Plasma Cannons, Grav-Cannons, twin-linked Lascannons, Rad Cannons, a plethora of Frags, Kraks and Rad Grenades, and a heavier variant Carapace Armour rather than the 'standard-issue' Imperial Mesh Armour, to better protect their bodies from the radiation backwash of their own weapons and to make them completely badass as a result.
They also can walk around with a couple of Cyberarachnids from time to time. Either for protection or to add further firepower.
Crunch[edit]
On Necromunda, they are Van Saar's standard champion unit which features 2 Wounds and an upgraded BS2+, but isn’t any better at fighting hand-to-hand than an ordinary ganger. This lends them to straightforward shooting builds – as with any gang, these are your most reliable heavy or special weapon-carriers, and with their upgraded stats and Group Activation abilities, you should always feature them heavily in your roster.
Augmeks can pick Savant skills, of which the best are ‘passive’ skills which generate campaign income, or Shooting, which is full of options to make them some of the scariest firepower pieces in the game.
