<td>Archeotech is the remains of once sophisticated technologies
which occasionally turns up in the underhive. Gangers will salvage
these finds for bits and pieces which may range from strange and
enigmatic remnants from a now forgotten age to rare weapons,
equipment and gadgets.</td>

Once found, archeotech must be handled carefully - any rumour of
hidden treasures may bring a rush of gangers and speculators who will
strip the find of anything remotely useful. This page describes one way
of making archeotech and supplies stashes. In games these may be used as
the property of a gang to be protected, as undiscovered stashes to be
found and won, or as simple cover to break up lines of sight. Scenarios
could be developed to utilise your archeotech terrain and those of you
with Renegade Ratskin gangs may want to develop a scenario where the
gang, which regards archeotech as sacred, has to protect it from greedy
imposters.
[h3]Materials[/h3]
# For archeotech items you need to start a collection of
interesting, 'techy' bits and pieces. Never allow a household gadget
to be thrown away before you have taken your screwdriver to it!
Circuit boards, battery compartment covers, tape transports from
answering machines and cassette recorders, broken toys - especially
sci-fi toys...springs, bolts anything!
# Thick card, such as picture mount card (ask a picture framing shop
for off cuts)
# Yellow and black 'necro-style' stripes - cut strips from your gang
box or print some out on a colour printer
[h3]Method[/h3]
# Cut the card to the size of stash or hoard you want.
# Glue the bits and pieces you have collected onto the card with
super glue
# Spray the whole thing black
# Dy-brush the items with metallic paints
# Tidy up the cardboard base with black paint
# Glue a band of black and yellow stripes around the base as a
border
