If you want to survive in the Hive you’re going to need good intel. That’s where the Whisper Merchants come into play.

There’s a new batch of Hangers-on coming to Necromunda. The Whisper Merchant just might have the intel you need to stay alive. The Psychoteric Thrall can channel psychic energy —  just don’t stand too close. Let’s check them out!

Whisper Monger

via Warhammer Community

“There is no end of tall tales circulating the underhive, but to access to the premium whoppers – those struck through with slivers of truth – you need to visit the Hall of Lies. Whisper Merchants are professional rumour-mongers who know better than most how to sift through swirling stacks of scuttlebutt. “

The Whisper Merchant is loaded to the gills with gear. I really like all the details this one has on it. Clearly this Hanger-on has really seen some things and been around the block (or Hive spire) a few times. Can you trust them? I guess that’s going to depend on the intel they bring you…

Psychoteric Thralls

“unique individuals who are indelibly connected to the Psycoterica – the ancient xenos who reside deep below the surface of Necromunda. Cursed to wander in a dreamlike state, these put-upon strays are sometimes rounded up by underhive gangs – and particularly the Delaque. “

These unfortunate thralls are all sorts of dangerous! They are more useful as a weapon in a gang war than anything else. That connection they have to the Psycoterica is a bit of a mystery. That can lead them to channel blasts of psychic energy in a fight. Hopefully they are pointed in the right direction. Personally, I’d want to steer clear of these ones.

Both the Whisper Merchant and Psychoteric Thrall are coming soon from Games Workshop in resin. Their rules can be found in the book Necromunda: House of Shadow.

 

Do you trust the whispers?
