Necromunda Is Back!

It’s been more than a decade since we last visited the Underhive, but very soon you’ll be able to battle it out in the depths of Hive Primus.



If you’re new to the hobby, you may not be familiar with Necromunda – or perhaps you’ve only heard about it from the fond memories of other hobbyists. Necromunda dives into the underworld of the Imperium, allowing players to control their own Hive Gang – a pack of ruthless criminal killers augmented with black-market cybernetics, gene modifications and scavenged weaponry. Where Warhammer 40,000 puts you at the head of an army, in Necromunda, the scale is much smaller but the action is just as intense – every single Ganger counts.



Between intense skirmish battles, your gang will grow from a pack of battle-hungry Juves to a feared and respected syndicate of hardened veterans. To get there, however, you’ll have to battle against your fellow players, each with a gang of their own.

The Underhive is a big place, and the gangs that inhabit it are as diverse as the alien races that inhabit the 41st Millennium. We’re launching Necromunda with two classics.

Gangs from House Escher are fast, deadly, and cruel. While lightly armoured, these cunning warrior women hold their own in melee combat, while at range, they are notorious for their use of armour-melting plasma weaponry.





The gangers of House Goliath are a living testament to brawn over brains. Every member of House Goliath is a slab of vat-grown muscle, armed and armoured with repurposed industrial gear.





What makes these miniatures even better is that they’ll be available in multi-part, plastic kits – so easy to assemble, customise and paint into a gang of your own.

Keep your eyes on Warhammer Community for all the latest news and previews.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

Oh I dearly hope so, but was that not the name of the videogame? Or was it Underhive Wars or something like that?

Cool art regardless.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?

The computer game is Underhive Wars and has a different logo compared to this, so looks like this is something else!

Never played Necro, but um, obtained copies of the rulebooks. By gosh I wish I was born in the 80's - the setting and gangs looked so colourful! I hope this is a mini game, if so I'd probs go Cawdor, as nothing is more 40k, than a bunch of militant zealots

A black and white illustration seems odd for GW though. Their graphics folks tend to use more color.

Hnnnng. Someone kidnap Andy Hoare and get him talking immediately!




So, baseless speculation - do we think the art is an Escher redesign, a female Ratskin, or something else entirely?

EDIT: Also is that a laslock I see on her shoulder?

All of the this. They have such an opportunity with this to give us a range of interesting quality female model sculpts in multiple styles. Christ my wallet is crying just thinking about all the new INQ28 projects this will make me start.

Yup. I'm really excited. When I first started getting into the hobby they were doing a Necromunda campaign in White Dwarf, I still dig them out and read it occasionally.

..Plastic Arbites too with a bit of luck.

easy to do a datasheet/whatever for them to be used in 40k too.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Interesting.

Seems Goliath's are now 'Vat-Grown'....or at least have extra muscle from Vats.

Here's hoping we get even more snippets and infos soon.

And let's also hope, purely for my sake, that it comes out later November when I gets me bonus!

I'm not in love with the paint scheme on the second Escher, but these are undeniably Eschers/Goliaths.

Fantastic.

No, and it's obvious for me to say this, but:
