Amazonian Arcane Technology & Lil Red Ryding Gob

Space Guns in the Old World

Introduction to Amazons in the 2nd Ed. WFB.

Amazons are perhaps the strangest of all humans. They are physically identical to Old Worlders. An Amazon suitably dressed could walk the streets of any Old World without appearing out of place. 

The strangest thing of all about is that their population is almost all female. Whether as a result of long forgotten magic or by natural means, Amazons have adapted to re-produce parthenogenetically. The process is controlled by the Amazonian priestesses who use various natural drugs to induce pregnancy and determine gender of the child. Amazons can also reproduce normally, although this rarely happens due to the introverted involved nature Of Amazon society. 

Amazonian culture is directly derived from that Of Old Slann - the powerful, mystical technological race that once ruled the planet.  

After digging out the 3rd Ed. rules, there was very little about the Amazons except a short section in the world history section. In the 2nd Ed. WFB rules at least they had their own section in the bestiary including  special rules and weapons. This was before the army lists came out, so the bestiary in the rules set could be used to work out a basic army list. 

So, the only mention of bolt gun weapons was in the 2nd Ed. rules. Which don't seem much different to those published in Rogue Trader.

Lil Red Ryding Gob 

One look at him and I knew he had to have a red cloak. 

I guess it is a bit of a stretch to think he counts towards Orctober!
