Necromunda: Core Rulebook

Explore the Dark World of Necromunda: A Wargame of Anarchy and Strategy

Step into the dystopian realm of Necromunda, a hive world established over 15,000 years ago as a hub for mining and manufacturing. Over millennia, its mountains have been ground to dust for their precious ores, its seas transformed into toxic sludge, and its air filled with radioactive pollution. Within its sprawling hive cities, billions live in a chaotic existence, from the opulent spires to the grim depths of the underhive, never seeing daylight. Beyond the hive, outlaw gangs and nomadic tribes vie for control over trade routes in the desolate ash wastes. In this harsh world, life is expendable, and power is held by those who can wield it. The strongest survive in the shadows of the hive.
