House Rule - New Weapon Quality - Tesla

[The Hive Mind]

Tesla weapons are another example of the Necrons remarkable weapon technology. These weapons fire crackling bolts of electricity that some witnesses claim move as if with minds of their own. These bolts of lightning are incredibly hot, enough to char the flesh from a man€™s bones in moments. In some cases, these energetic projectiles have even been observed to crack ceramite and plasteel. What is truly astounding about these weapons, however, is the manner in which the arcs of electricity leap from their initial target to others nearby. In some cases, the lightning makes this leap multiple times, such that a single direct hit from a Tesla weapon might incapacitate an entire squad. When a weapon with the Tesla Quality rolls a 9 or 10 for Damage, or kills or otherwise incapacitates a target, lightning arcs to an additional, randomly determined target within 5m of the first, scoring an additional hit against that target. This extra hit has the potential to score further extra hits in the same manner. No attack roll is needed for these additional hits, which are applied to the targets Body location.
