Begin a New Era of Necromunda
Necromunda is a tabletop skirmish game of brutal gang warfare set deep within the industrial hive cities of the 41st Millennium. Players lead individual fighters through dangerous battles for territory, resources, reputation, and survival.
This Core Set introduces updated rules designed to make games quicker, more streamlined, and more balanced while preserving the campaign-driven gang progression that defines Necromunda.
House Escher: Blades of the Matriarch
The Blades of the Matriarch are a House Escher gang made up of eight new plastic miniatures. Their distinctive designs feature bold hairstyles, feathers, pelts, agile poses, and specialized Underhive weapons.
The included sample roster is balanced against the Forge Smelters, allowing players to begin their first battles without creating gang lists from scratch.
House Goliath: Forge Smelters
The Forge Smelters are eight heavily built House Goliath fighters clad in protective armor and equipped with weapons and tools repurposed from the foundries of Necromunda.
Their physical strength and industrial appearance provide a visual and tactical contrast to the swift fighters of House Escher.
Sixteen New Plastic Gang Miniatures
The box contains 16 new plastic miniatures divided evenly between House Escher and House Goliath. The two gangs can be used against each other immediately or incorporated into larger existing gang collections.
Review the included construction booklet and sample rosters before permanently assembling weapons and equipment.
Complete Necromunda Skirmish Core Rulebook
The included Core Rulebook contains the central rules needed to play the new edition of Necromunda Skirmish. The revised system updates movement, combat, dice rolls, campaigns, and other parts of the game.
Existing Necromunda miniatures remain compatible with the new edition. Additional gang books may be required for complete updated rules for factions outside the two gangs included in this box.
Gang Tactics and Campaign Scenario Cards
Gang Tactics cards provide additional choices and tactical effects during battles. Campaign Scenario cards help players organize linked games and create varied confrontations throughout an ongoing campaign.
The included sample rosters and starter guide help new players learn how these components are used during their first games.
Zone Mortalis: Ruined Factoria Pipes
The included broken-pipe terrain represents damaged machinery and industrial structures found throughout the Underhive. These pieces add cover, obstacles, and thematic detail to the battlefield.
The terrain can also be combined with additional Zone Mortalis scenery to create larger and more detailed Necromunda environments.
Game Board, Markers and Gaming Accessories
A double-sided playmat provides the surface for your first battles. The box also contains 54 condition and status markers for tracking injuries, effects, and other important battlefield information.
Dice, templates, a folding range ruler, a starter guide, and a construction booklet complete the collection of accessories needed to begin playing.
English Edition Notice: The Core Rulebook, cards, starter guide, construction booklet, and other printed materials in this edition are in English.
Assembly Notice: Review the construction booklet and sample gang rosters before permanently attaching weapons and equipment to your Escher and Goliath fighters.
Product Notice: Paints, plastic glue, clippers, brushes, and other hobby tools are not listed as included unless confirmed on the final product packaging.
