SPECIAL CHARACTERSKAt JERICO & SCABBS

by Warwick KinradeThese new special cbaracters are based on tbe bugely popular comic strip fromWarbammer Montbly, written by Gordon Rennie and drawn by Karl Kopinski andWayne Reynolds.

UI{DERHIVE SGUM!As the suavest bounty hunter in theUnderhive, Kal knows he has a reputation tomaintain. A reputation for being as fast withhis guns as he is with his mouth, areputation for idiotic recklessness, with only

a paft of fully charged laspistols, ^nimmaculate sense of style, and his sometimesidekick, the pustulent, renegade Ratskinhalf-breed Scabbs, to see him through. Sowhat if it's led him to being outlawed,hunted down, shot at, blown up, nailed to awall and almost burned alive? He wouldn'thave his life any other way!

Of course, some people can't help but beara grudge and most of Kal's troubles can belaid at the door of his small but impeccablyselected collection of enemies. Be it thepsychopathic ex-pit slave, Vandal Feg; thefanatical redemptionist, Cardinal Crimson;the rogue noblewoman-turned-outlaw,Yolanda Catullus; or the shadowy spyrnaster,Nemo the Faceless, you can be sure that ifthey get their hands on Kal they'll bechopping off more than his plaits!
