Updated Rules for the Great Houses of Necromunda
Gangs of the Underhive provides updated faction rules for the six major Clan Houses that battle for influence, territory, and survival beneath the hive cities of Necromunda.
Players with existing House Cawdor, Delaque, Escher, Goliath, Orlock, or Van Saar collections can use this book to bring those gangs into the updated Necromunda Skirmish edition.
House Cawdor
House Cawdor gangs are drawn from the dispossessed masses of the Underhive. Their fighters combine scavenged equipment, improvised weapons, religious fervor, and overwhelming numbers.
This book provides the updated fighter and equipment rules needed to field House Cawdor gangs in the new edition.
House Delaque
House Delaque operates through secrets, surveillance, manipulation, and carefully planned violence. Their pale, mysterious fighters often rely on specialized weapons and covert tactics.
Gangs of the Underhive contains the updated rules and profiles required to use House Delaque fighters and equipment.
House Escher
House Escher gangs are fast, skilled, and dangerous. They combine agile fighters with toxins, chemical weapons, specialized firearms, and distinctive close-combat equipment.
The book provides updated rules for mustering and expanding House Escher gangs in Necromunda Skirmish.
House Goliath
House Goliath fighters are gene-forged workers built for brutal labor and direct confrontation. Their gangs rely on strength, resilience, heavy weapons, and powerful close-combat attacks.
Updated fighter and equipment profiles allow existing House Goliath collections to enter the new edition.
House Orlock
House Orlock gangs are experienced road warriors and industrial fighters. They combine reliable firearms, practical equipment, and a flexible approach to ranged and close combat.
Gangs of the Underhive contains the current rules required for House Orlock gang rosters and equipment.
House Van Saar
House Van Saar possesses advanced technology and highly effective ranged weapons. Their gangs use precision equipment, sophisticated armor, and specialized battlefield systems.
The book includes updated fighter and equipment information for using House Van Saar gangs in the new edition.
Palanite Enforcers and Other Underhive Gangs
In addition to the six Clan Houses, the book contains updated rules for Palanite Enforcers, Venator Gangs, Corpse Grinder Cults, and Justicar Courts.
These factions provide alternatives to the traditional Clan House gangs and support collections built around law enforcement, hired hunters, cultists, and specialized judicial forces.
Hired Guns, Brutes, Hangers-on and Pets
Gangs may gain support from additional fighters, specialists, creatures, and characters. This book includes rules for Hired Guns, Brutes, Hangers-on, and Pets that can support eligible gangs.
Availability and selection depend on the gang being used, the current campaign, and the relevant roster restrictions.
Lore, Fighters and Equipment Profiles
The book combines rules with background information about the gangs, organizations, and forces that dominate the Underhive.
Fighter and equipment profiles provide the information needed to build rosters, equip gang members, and prepare them for campaign battles.
