  Mmm... tbanks Cbris.
  My name is Christophe Marc, I am twenty
  seven and I live a couple of miles from
  Perpignan in the South ofFrance. I have been
  playng GW games since 1987 with the release
  of the original Warhammer 40I! Rogue Trader.
  In between studying for my Doctorate in the
  History of Law and teaching at the University of
  Perpignan I manage to fit in a busy schedule of
  playing GW games, video and computer games
  (hence my inspiration) and explaining to my
  girlfriend Sophie why I spend so much money
  on metal miniatures instead of her!
  My ultimate dream is to find the fabled Book of
  the Astronomican from 1991, I'd kill to get it!
  In the meantime I have pacified myself with
  making this little conversion and my friend Yan
  Billaud helped me out with the rules. You can

  site in France) at:

  LHORA CRAFT
  Archeotechnologist
  Lhora Craft was born into
  opulent wealth in one of the
  rich noble houses of the Spire.
  but whereas the daughters of
  the Necromundan nobility
  were supposed to look pretty
  and do little else from an early
  age, Lhora displayed an ability
  of disobeying her harsh father,
  Count Augusrus Cra.ft, at every
  given opportunity.
  She spent many ofher
  formative years locked away in
  her chambers, deep in study,
  drawn to the mysteries of
  technology and the strange
  spiritual religion surrounding
  it. As she came of age she
  grew tired of the lavish
  laziness of the Spire and
  Ionged for adventure to
  quench her thirst for
  archeotech knowledge. The
  one place that she knew
  any real clues as to its tfue
  worth.
  After stealthily escaping the
  mundane existence of the
  Spire Lhora now dwells in the
  Underhive and has built
  herself quite a reputation
  amongst the traders as a first
  class archeotechnologist and
  amongst the unwashed
  gangefs as a very tough lady
  indeed. She has been careful
  to disguise her true identity so
  as not to draw too much
  attention to herself while she
  undertakes dangerous
  adventures in her search for
  rare afcheotech.

  would be
  literally built on
  the stuffwas the
  Underhive and
  none of the
  inhabitants had
  
  WEAPONS: 
  Mastercrafted
  Bolt Pistol, Necron Pistol,
  Shotgun (with a-ll ammo
  types), Frag grenades,
  Chainsword.
  ARMOUR: 
  None.
  SK|LLS:

  Bac& (Agility Skills),
  Gunfigbter, 
  Crack Sbot, Hip
  Sbootini (Shooting Skill)
  WARGEAR: 
  Respirator,
  Infra-red Goggles.
  PSYCHOLOGY: 
  Lhora has
  seen a lot of strange things in
  her shon dme in the
  Underhive and so is immune
  to Fear.
  ALLEGIANCE: 
  Lhora is
  always on the lookout 
  for new
  Archeotech to sell, which is
  the way she makes her living
  in the harsh Underhive.
  Therefore, she will work for
  certain gangs in scenarios that
  involve Loot Counters of
  Archeotech ofsome sort. She
  will never agree to fight
  alongside Spyrers, Scawys,
  Redemptionists or Cawdor
  gangs.
  RltTlNG: 
  Lhora increases the
  gang's rating by *355 points.
  PAYMENT: 
  Lhora is onJ1'
  interested in aquiring rare
  Archeotech and does very well
  off of her shrewd sales and so
  only requires D6x5 in
  payment to cover ef
  overheads.
  BOUNTY: 
  There is no
  bounty on Lhora.
  SPECIAL RULES
  Mastercrafted 
  Weapons:
  These are considered valuable
  relics by most Underhivers.
  The Weapons are so perfectly
  made that the user may re-roll
  any misses once per turn.
  Necron pistol: Found deep
  amongst the fuins of the Hive
  Bottom, Lhora rapidly learned
  how to use this exotic weapon
  and finds it very usefull
  against hear.y opponents. The
  Necron pistol uses the
  standard pistol range bands
  and will always wound on 4 *
  regardless of the target's
  Toughness. The pistol seems
  to have an inexhaustible
  power source and so doesn't
  have to take ammo rolls.
  Exceptional 
  leap: Lhora can
  jump 3" without taking any
  damage and may continue her
  move afterwards with the leap
  counting as 3" off of her
  movement.
  Pocketastic: Lhora manages
  to carry far more equipment
  than her skimpy costume
  would suggest and can get to
  it extremely quickly. She may
  always use any weapon she
  desires in any combat phase
  without 
  penalty.
  Arcb€otechnologist: 
  Lhora is
  a very well educated
  archeotechnologist. Any gang
  with an Archeotech Hoard can
  roll an extra D6 during their
  foraging phase without risk.
  If Lhora accompanies a ganger
  to the Trading Post, and a
  Mung Vase is offered, the real
  value of the Vase is
  determined before the Ganger
  buys it. In any case the Ganger
  is not obliged to buy it. Lhora
  can only perform one of these
  actions per post-battle
  sequence.
  The Conversion:
  First you take your Elf
  Cheerleader model and cut
  the legs otr (argh!) just above
  the belt. Try to get a clear cut
  as the upper part of the
  Escher body will be glued on
  it (clean up the cut with a
  file). Cut the heels offofthe
  boots because it's not easy to
  run in heels even for Lhora
  Craft.
  At this stage drill a hole in the
  lower body and place a metal
  rod/pin inside to help secure
  the join with the upper body.
  Now cut the Escher body iust
  below the stomach, and
  sand/file the lower part of the
  shirt so that it fits snugly onto
  the legs from the Cheer-
  leader. Also, file the back of
  the Escher's head carefully
  removing the pony tail.
  Cleanly cut the hand holding
  the grenade from the body.
