Warhammer 40,000 Necromunda Game News, Reviews, Editorials & Unboxings.

Necromunda is a skirmish tabletop miniature wargame originally released by UK-Based Games Workshop in 1995. The game was relaunched as Necromunda: Underhive in 2017. The game is set on the industrial Imperial world of Necromunda, in the dystopian "Grimdark" Warhammer 40,000 universe. In Necromunda, players control rival gangs battling each other in the Underhive, a place of anarchy and violence in the depths below the Hive City. As in its parent game Warhammer 40,000, Necromunda uses 28 mm miniatures and terrain to represent the Underhive – a heavily polluted, underground industrial environment.

Necromunda allows players to develop their gangs between battles, gaining experience, gaining and losing new members or equipment, according to a set of rules. Gangs that frequently win games acquire more credits and fewer injuries and so are able to grow throughout a campaign.

Necromunda also stands out by having a more three-dimensional table layout, with buildings generally having multiple floors, interconnecting walkways, and bridges. The terrain is constructed to simulate a hive city on the planet Necromunda, a dystopian futuristic city resembling a termite mound many miles high.

The primary Houses that players play in Necromunda are: Orlock, Cawdor, Delaque, Escher, Goliath, Van Saar.
