The Zone Mortalis is literally "the deadly ground" – short-range gunflights take place as fighters dart between cover and brutal melee is almost impossible to escape from.

The Necromunda Rulebook is your complete guide to gang warfare in the 41st Millennium. Packed with rules, lore, art and content previously only available through Gang War supplements, this book is a must-have for every player.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In House Goliath, Stimmers are established gangers. While seeking to achieve the peak of the Goliath's aspirational physical and musculature performance, they have become addicted to growth and combat stimms.

Voicing chants to the Lord of Skin and Sinew, the Corpse Grinder Cults rise up, emerging from their hidden corners of the underhive. With their bodies grown hard and muscular on a diet of forbidden flesh, they bring full-blown rebellion to Necromunda.
