So I'm not a roleplayer, but I've been kind of interested in some of the 40k roleplay releases like Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader. I'm not looking to start roleplaying, but looking for some in depth fluff that would help for a Necromunda campaign, and possibly an =I=munda campiagn.

I've taken the reigns for a Necromunda campaign with some close friends, and while we've been playing for awhile, and have talked alot about a campaign, no one has actually begun writing or creating a narrative direction for one as of yet. So my friends more or less are letting me create the story. I was thinking there might be some great fluff in these books that could provide some inspiration, and hopefully some great fluff for the lower citizens of the Imperium.

So my question is, are the Dark Heresy books a good resource for a Necromunda campaign, or should I be looking elsewhere, like the Necromunda novels?

I would suggest the Necromunda novels would, obviously, provide better and more specific information with regards to Necromunda.

If you do want an Inquisitorial theme or some ideas then I would suggest perhaps having a look at either

or

, might well give you some ideas.

The Radical's Handbook and Daemon Hunter are also quite good for more Inquisitorial themed things (especially if you're doing more =I=munda rather than straight Necromunda.

The Inquisitor's Handbook and Disciples of the Dark Gods are good books, but are heavily Calixis Sector (the setting for Dark Heresy) themed. Every book in the DH line is, but Disciples more than any other IMO.
