For fans of brutal gang warfare, intense close-quarters combat, and deeply customisable miniatures, Necromunda is the ultimate tabletop experience. Set in the sprawling industrial spires of Hive Primus, this skirmish-based game from Games Workshop brings the dystopian world of Warhammer Necromunda to life, letting players control rival gangs as they battle for dominance in the lawless Necromunda Underhive.
Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer looking to get started, this guide will help you buy Necromunda miniatures, choose the right Necromunda starter set, and expand your gang with the best models.
What is Necromunda?
Originally released in 1995 and later revamped with modern rules and updated miniatures, Necromunda is a fast-paced, narrative-driven skirmish game set in the depths of an enormous hive city. Unlike the grand armies of Warhammer 40K, Necromunda focuses on small-scale battles, where every fighter has a name, a story, and a chance to gain new skills—or suffer permanent injuries.
The game features a variety of factions, from the brutal Goliaths to the cunning Escher, each with their own unique playstyles, weapons, and abilities. With immersive terrain and a deep campaign system, every battle tells a story of survival, betrayal, and underhive warfare.
Getting Started: Necromunda Starter Set
If you're new to the game, the best way to jump in is with a Necromunda starter set. These sets contain everything you need to start playing, including:
- A full rulebook to guide your gang through the underhive.
- Two opposing gangs with highly detailed Necromunda miniatures.
- Dice, rulers, and templates for smooth gameplay.
- Scenic terrain to create an immersive battlefield in the depths of the underhive.
A great entry point is the Necromunda: Hive War starter set, which includes House Escher and House Delaque—two iconic gangs with distinct play-styles.
Necromunda Miniatures: Building Your Gang
One of the biggest draws of Warhammer Necromunda is the level of customisation available for your gang. Each miniature can be equipped with a variety of weapons, armour, and upgrades, making no two gangs alike.
Some of the most popular Necromunda miniatures include:
- House Goliath: Muscle-bound enforcers who rely on brute strength and raw firepower.
- House Escher: Fast, agile fighters with deadly poisons and an affinity for close combat.
- House Van Saar: Technologically advanced warriors with high-end weaponry.
- House Cawdor: Religious zealots who overwhelm enemies with sheer numbers.
- House Orlock: Versatile and durable, these bikers and brawlers are well-balanced in combat.
- House Delaque: Masters of stealth and deception, capable of striking from the shadows.
Expanding your collection with additional Necromunda miniatures lets you fine-tune your gang to match your preferred play-style.
