====Brutes====
A new mechanic introduced in '''Gang War 3''', Brutes are basically inhuman monsters who can be taken by various gangs to give them some extra raw killing potential. They pay for this killing power with ''big'' price tags, so think very carefully before including one in your gang.

'''[[Luther Pattern Excavation Automata]]:''' An [[ambull]] [[servitor]] normally used as a mining robot. All House Gangs can purchase these guys, but [[House Cawdor]] have a particular affinity for them, which manifests as only needing to pay 185 credits for one rather than the usual 215. As well as [[Rip and Tear]], it's also a mining servitor, so it can generate extra credits for your gang outside of the battlefield. Valuable enough that they can be captured like regular gangers.

'''Jotunn H-Grade [[Servitor]] [[Ogryn]]:''' As the name suggests, this is a [[servitor]] that's been made out of an [[ogryn]] and as such it's a big, tough, meaty boy with armor and cybernetic bits. Gang-neutral, but cheaper for [[House Goliath]]. 180 credits.

'''Stig-Shambler:''' [[House Cawdor]] Brute consisting of a hulking, strong-but-dumb [[mutant]] paired with a small, weak-but-smart [[mutant]] that rides on the bigger mutie's back and mans a heavy stubber or heavy flamer mounted on a swivel on its shoulder. 208 credits. Master Blaster from Beyond Thunderdome. If you don’t shout “He’s just a boy” you’re doing it wrong.

'''Spyker:''' [[House Delaque]] Brute consisting of a once-human ganger strapped into a cybernetic exoskeleton and forcefed psy-augmenting drugs until it becomes a hideously deformed artificial psyker. Cheapest of all the Brutes at 190 credits.

''''Zerker:''' [[House Goliath]] Brute, a once-normal ganger overdosed with drugs and gene-mods to the point of becoming an oversized, hyper-violent lunatic. 210 credits. At Strength 6, he is pretty much the ''strongest'' thing on the damn battlefield, or at least very close to it!

'''Lugger Cargo Servitor:''' [[House Orlock]] Brute, and really, what is there to say? It's a lobotomized cyborg, stolen and outfitted with cybernetic limbs; one for [[Rip and Tear]], one for dakka.

'''Khimerix:''' [[House Escher]] Brute, a [[Fleshcrafting|genegineered]] animal cooked up in their geno-alchemy labs for shits n giggles. Whilst primarily aimed for [[Rip and Tear]], it also has the ability to spit a noxious chemical breath weapon, which is basically a never-fail flamer.

'''Arachni-Rig:''' [[House Van Saar]] Brute, basically a battle robot worn as a shoulder harness, with two heavy las-carbines, four ripping claws, and its own legs to carry you around. Can take a Radgun or Plasma Gun at a rice of -1 Attack. Competes with the [[Dreadknight]] for silliest exo-armor style in 40K. 240 points.

Brutes for the Outlaw Gangs were introduced in [[White Dwarf]] #458, and given how Outlaws struggle with funds, the price-sinky nature of the regular Brute is even more relevant here.
* '''Scrapcode-Corrupted Ambot:''' Basically the [[Chaos]]y version of the [[Luther Pattern Excavation Automata]]. Trades the ability to mine credits out-of-battle for much greater killy power. Costs 220 credits.
* '''Mutated Ogryn:''' An [[ogryn]] that has become a [[mutant]], and as such is lured to serve cult leaders or the worst kinds of outlaws. Costs 210 credits.
* '''Warp Horror:''' It's basically a [[daemonhost]], with lots of different gribbly weaponry options. 210 credits.
* '''Sump Beast:''' Generic statblock for any number of horrible mutant fauna from the depths of the Underhive. 200 credits.
