Scrap Skiff

The junkyard boat model made by Tiny.

"As countless gangers, mutants and outcasts have discovered, pretty much anything that floats can be turned into a Scrap Skiff. Often little more than a raft of old promethium barrels lashed to a rusted piece of dome plating, a Scrap Skiff can make for a serviceable craft, some even armoured and armed enough to make dangerous, if ramshackle, pirate vessels. And, of course, it is better than swimming…"

– Necromunda Apocrypha description

Scrap Skiffs are Necromundan maritime vessels that ply Hive Primus' Underhive seas that are often less 'sea' and more 'toxic toilet sewage'. It is one of the two "custom" watercraft that has rules, with the other being the Sludge Barge. Why GW never bothered in giving us a proper model, we have no ideal, although it can be argued that they are encouraging us to make a Your Dudes of post-apocalyptic boats. All we know is that both boats are the first marine-exclusive vehicles with actual rules that GW bothered to make in decades.

Any faction from Necromunda can technically take them, yes, even murderhobos like House Cawdor, Ash Waste Nomads and Corpse Grinder Cults can take them.

Overview

Pretty much anything that floats can be turned into a Scrap Skiff, and often, they are little more than a raft of old promethium barrels lashed to a rusted piece of dome plating. They are used by countless gangers, mutants and outcasts, with some Scrap Skiffs even being turned into dangerous if ramshackle, pirate vessels by being equipped with armour and weapons. Among the variety of equipment, such as Autoguns, Grenade Launchers, Web Gun, Harpoon Launcher, Heavy Stubbers, Flare Launchers, body spikes and booby-trapped fuel tanks.

Crunch

On the tabletop, both the Sludge Barge and Scrap Skiff have the new Waterborne special rule which effectively represents a new kind of locomotion — barges drift D6″ forward when activated, while skiffs move at D3.

The Scrap Skiff is the smaller of the two boats, as a skiff in real-life is considered a small boat. Being small means being cheap, and it shows at 45 creds, which is roughly equivalent to a Light Vehicle, with M8, T3/3/3 and 1 Hull Point. Their list has grenade launchers, harpoon launchers and heavy stubbers.

Both vehicles are limited to a select list of upgrades, but have open access to weapons and vehicle wargear from the Trading Post. Ramming looks to be as effective as ever, with the low cost and high movement of Scrap Skiffs — combined with access to glys injectors and booby-trapped fuel tanks — making them tempting kamikaze options.
