As low as life may seem in the clutches of Necromunda's gangs, there's always a lower rung to which unfortunate souls can fall. These outcasts, hated and spurned by the 'respectable' denizens of the underhive, gather together to form gangs of their own – be it for greed, ambition, or simply safety.

Rebellion is a poison that runs deep within Necromunda. Each time it bubbles to the surface, industries wither and populations perish, corrupted by false promises of freedom and power. Only the iron will of the Imperial House maintains a semblance of order.

Unlike other Houses, that are built upon vital industries or are bound together by faith, he Delaque have no defined home and no defined industrial role within Necromundan society.

In just a few short millennia, House Orlock has risen from a loose alliance of Clan Families and waste prospectors to become the largest mining operation on the planet.

At once ancient and youthful, House Escher has endured far longer than any other Clan House on Necromunda. Since the times of the first Lord Helmawr, they have established their place as a matriarchy built upon a throne of chems and violence.

Strength is all for House Goliath. Without the physical strength to dominate rivals or to endure the hardships of Necromunda, a Goliath is nothing.

Necromunda is a world rife with lawlessness but the denizens of the underhive know the difference between the ongoing gang squabbles and true crime.

A Nacht-Ghul is an assassin and saboteur without peer. Crafted by psychic-science and esoteric chems, they are the edge of the blade in the dark that cuts away the enemies of the Delaque – or the enemies of their friends if it suits their purposes.

The Redemptionist sect believes that Humanity has fallen from the path of righteousness decreed by the God-Emperor and that the sins of Mankind will drown the Imperium in filth and depravity.

Reckless and young, Neoteks have yet to feel the full effects of the wasting inflicted on the Van Saar by their use of their STC’s technologies.

As Orlock gangs grow, they need Arms Masters to support the Road Captain and keep the Gunners and Greenhorns in line.

Death Maidens and Wyld Runners represent the two ends of the Escher lifecycle. All Escher adolescents grow up in the Wyld, learning everything they need to know about hive life free from the oppressive societies imposed by most other Clan Houses.
