ADVERSE CONDITIONS: In addition to any special rules that apply for each environment, some missions will call for adverse conditions, such as bad weather. Unless the mission requires it (or you just want an extra challenge), do not apply the Adverse Conditions to an environment.
ENCOUNTER BLIPS: Most hostile environments are represented by encounter blips- a mix of lurking enemies, unpredictable hazards, deadly traps, and occasional lucky finds. The encounter blips are somewhat generic, and rely on an environment to dictate what effects they have, so be sure you have an environment in mind before running a mission that uses encounter blips!
GOAL: Some missions require the players to find goals. If the mission does not use goal blips, treat any GOAL found as a LOOT blip.
BOGUS: Unless the mission states otherwise, these blips are worthless and harmless- remove from play once revealed.
LOOT: This blip represents something valuable, worth picking up. Spend an action while adjacent to pick it up. Some loot is heavy, and must be carried (see RC for details on carrying). Heavy loot will be indicated in the description.
TRAP: Most traps are removed once they go off. Remember that Tech priests, Engineers, and Squats may reroll any trap roll!
AMBUSH: this blip represents an enemy model that will attack as soon as it is revealed. Have the player to the left run the enemy. Typically the enemy will melee (or shoot if their melee chances are poor), then move away from the revealer. At that point, the revealer may continue their move and hopefully dispatch the troublesome enemy. If enemies are still alive on the board, give them their own turn at the end of the last player's turn. Enemies may not reveal or interact with encounter blips, and ignore all hazards.
HAZARD: Each area has it's own unique array of hazards. Each hazard blip has a number from 1 to 6 on it- look up the number on the environment's Hazard Chart to see what kind it is. Most hazards are persistant- IE, once they've gone off, they remain there unless someone can shut them down. You will be affected by the hazard if you are within it's area when it is revealed, or if you move into it's area after being revealed, or if you stay in it's area for a full turn (you only have to roll for the hazard once per turn per model). Note that Vehicles will be affected by hazards unless otherwise noted. If the vehicle ignores the hazard, troops in an open vehicle (such as a bike) will still be hit by the hazard! Remember that Missionaries may reroll any hazard roll!
OBJECTIVE: These only apply if the Mission requires them. If you find an Objective during a mission that does not use them, treat it as a BOGUS.
BOGUS: Like the name suggests, this blip turns out to be nothing. Remove the blip and carry on as normal.

URBAN RUINS- A Necromunda underhive, a decaying Space Hulk, or a post apocalyptic city.
SCENERY SET UP: Place lots of buildings, barricades, catwalks, and other urban terrain. Each building sector has OOO of damage already! ALTERNATIVE: For tunnel games, use Space Hulk tiles (as described in CATACOMBS section of RC).
SPECIAL RULES: BUILDINGS. The buildings are literally falling apart. You do not have to force entry unless the building is occupied by enemy troops.
ADVERSE CONDITIONS: FIRE. Treat the whole board as in smoke. Add +1 to all trap and hazard rolls.
LOOT: You found a valuable relic in amongst the debris. It's worth oo points of CAP.
TRAP: Collapse.  Roll OO vs. Armor.  If on an upper level, drop to the level below.   Otherwise,  place debris that blocks move through that area (2"), and place yourself on the far side of the debris.
AMBUSH: Mutant attack! Move 6, Armor 1, 1 hit, melee: OOO W, shooting: ooo W X (kills user on fail)
HAZARDS: All hazards have a 3" area, and are persistant.
1: Power lines. Roll OO vs. armor: Graze =Stun, Kill= KO.
2: Steam Jet. Roll OO vs. armor. Any damage = Wound (will not kill).
3: Entangled.  Lose all remaining move / actions this turn.
4: Toxic Waste. Roll o, ignores armor, graze = Wound. (vehicles may ignore).
5-6: Gas Leak.  Roll 1 white. If you roll anything, a spark ignites the gas and causes an explosion- roll OO vs. armor, Graze=Wound, Burn. If you fire any weapons or a grenade goes off while in the area, it automatically sets off an explosion.

JUNGLE DEATHWORLD- A world teeming with deadly life forms in fierce competition for survival!
SCENERY SET UP: Place jungle foliage and alien plants in winding sections, forming a maze of dense cover. Intersperse with rivers, lakes, or swamps. Ancient, overgrown temples or ruins are also suitable.
SPECIAL RULES: DENSE JUNGLE- If you try to move through a section of jungle instead of going around it, roll your melee vs. OO (add +1 if you use a bladed weapon). If you win, proceed as normal. If you tie, take 2" off your movement. If you are grazed, you must end your move in the jungle. If you lose, you are stunned! Vehicles move at half normal speed in addition to any other move penalties. SWAMPS- you may move across shallow rivers, lakes or swamps at half your normal move rate. However, any blips placed in the water will be revealed by anyone passing even within 3" of them. Before revealing it, move the blip to the position of the model that triggered it!
ADVERSE CONDITIONS: DON'T WANDER OFF... The jungle seems to deliberately attack models when they are alone. A model that is not adjacent to another model is a loner. If a "loner" makes an attack or picks up something, or if a model takes extra move, immediately roll once on the Hazard table below. The hazard is not persistant and has no area effect.
LOOT: You've found some valuable trinket on the decaying remains of an unfortunate soul. It's worth oo points of CAP.  For tougher games, LOOT will be accompanied by a rat swarm: M8, A0, H3, OOO, Swarm, Small.
TRAP: You are grabbed by the jaws of a Carniverous Plant! Roll your melee and consult the following chart. 0: You are eaten whole! Unless the plant is killed later on, your equipment cannot be recovered. 1-2: Still struggling with the plant, you can do nothing else this turn. Unless the plant is killed, roll again on your next turn. 3-4: You manage to break free, but the plant is still alive and dangerous. 5+: You have killed the plant! Engaging in combat: Carniverous plants have 2 armor and 3 hits. Any model that moves within 1" of the plant must roll on the chart above unless another model is already trapped (as 1-2 above), in which case roll your melee vs. the plant's armor. If you fire at a carniverous plant while someone is trapped inside, you must roll vs. both models (plant first). If you have a reroll, you may use it to try to lower the score against the trapped model. Carniverous plants will not attack vehicles. Remove the trap blip if the plant is killed.
AMBUSH: Runner selects one of the following: LIZARDMAN- M6, A1, H1, Melee OO, Shield (-o), Charge, Frenzy. --OR-- 2x SKINK: M8, A0, H1, Melee o, Shooting O W - Reload, Poison..

6: Strangle Vines. Roll OO vs. melee. Graze=Stun. Kill=KO. Tie= trapped*. Win= escapes.
*Trapped models may not move and have -1 melee. They may attempt to escape on their next turn- check as normal. You may rescue an adjacent Trapped model by successfully beating the Strangle Vines in melee (takes an action).

At the end of each turn, roll oo vs. models that are not adjacent to cover or in a building or vehicle. Graze=Stun, Tie=KB (half the model's move in inches, random direction). Vehicles must roll once on the wipeout chart (see Vehicle Rules for details). For results that move the vehicle forward, move the vehicle BACKWARD instead.
LOOT: You manage to find some salvageable equipment. Worth oo points of CAP, but must be carried.
TRAP: Landslide. Place a Heavy Flamer template such that the round end covers both the blip and the model revealing it, and aim the pointy end at the nearest cliff, hill, or board edge. For each model under the template, roll OO vs. armor. Graze = Stun. Remove the trap blip after it goes off.
AMBUSH: Mutant attack! Move 8, Armor 1, 1 hit, melee: OO W, shooting: as autopistol.

5: Corrosive Cloud. Roll o x armor: You must discard that many weapons, pieces of equipment, or grenades, as they have been eaten away.
6: Sink Hole. Roll OO and add your armor value. If the result is 5 or more, your model is sucked in, and may not move! Each turn afterwards that you spend in the hole, take 1 stun (vehicles ignore the damage but are permanently trapped). Adjacent models may try to pull a victim out by spending an action: Roll OO and add the victim's armor value- BIG models may reroll. If the roll is 3 or less, they pull you out. If a model is not pulled out before the end of the game, lose the model and any carried items.

PRIMAEVAL WORLD- Turbulent worlds, still forming and changing. Wracked by storms, primitive atmospheres, and volcanic activity.
SCENERY SET UP: Place black, jagged, broken terrain such as rock spires, chasms, and lava plains. Intersperse with rivers or lakes of molten lava.
SPECIAL RULES: LAVA- if a model or vehicle lands in or attempts to move through lava, roll OOO vs. armor (graze= Wound). Models that have touched lava during any part of their move may either move or take an action, not both.
ADVERSE CONDITIONS: METEOR STORM. At the end of each turn, each player must roll a red die. They must place that many 2" Blast templates anywhere on the board such that each template completely covers at least one of their models. Then deviate each template D6 inches in a random direction (use deviation dice, a spinner, etc. to determine direction). Finally, treat each template as a Frag grenade. Models that are not under top cover may not hide from meteors!

LOOT: A Cache of food, or a warm shelter. Spend an action to take advantage: worth oo of LOY.
TRAP: Avalanche! Place a Heavy Flamer template such that the round end covers both the blip and the model revealing it, and aim the pointy end at the nearest crag, slope, or board edge. For each model under the template, roll OO vs. armor. Graze = Stun. Kill= KOed. Remove the trap blip after it goes off.
AMBUSH: This should be a model worth roughly 5 points, suitable for the environment or mission.
HAZARDS: All hazards have a 3" area, and are persistent.
1-2: Snow Drift. Roll OOO+3: if > your move, you may not move any further this turn. Check to get out too!

NO MAN'S LAND- A barren, muddy maze of trenches, a secret base, or a well defended installation.
SCENERY SET UP: Place Barbed wire, trenches, barricades, tank traps, ruins, etc. Any buildings should be armored (see RC for details). Use all the BOGUS blips, and place blips along choke points such as gaps in defences, entrances to buildings, roads, etc.
SPECIAL RULES: BARBED WIRE- If a foot troop or light vehicle tries to move past, the wire rolls two whites in melee vs. the model. If they tie or lose, they must end their movement in front of the wire. If they win, take off 1" of movement and continue moving. If you want to try to clear a path through the wire, spend an action adjacent to it and roll your melee. If you get a 4 or higher (+P applies), you may make a 1" wide gap in the wire. Beasts may try to jump over the wire (see Vehicles for details on jumping). TANK TRAPS- Vehicles may not move over or past these obstacles. Vehicles may move over barbed wire (-1" movement).
