The underhive is plunging into chaos and relentless battles consume the ash wastes, Necromunda’s history takes a dramatic turn. The Aranthian Succession, a tale of power, betrayal, and ambition, continues to unfold, bringing forth exciting new rules, captivating lore, and remarkable miniatures.
In Necromunda: The Aranthian Succession – Ruins of Jardlan, the seven Noble Houses find themselves in disarray. The attempted assassination of Lord Gerontius Helmawr has created a power vacuum, igniting a ferocious struggle among Necromunda’s elite to claim supremacy in Hive Primus. Amidst the chaos, some simply aim to survive.
Recap of the Aranthian Saga So Far
In the previous installment, “Vaults of Temenos,” a mysterious prophet led a massive pilgrimage that laid siege to a hive. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Ozostium awoke from a long slumber with aspirations for the throne, and Lady Haera sought refuge with the help of the Palanite Enforcers.
The Succession Campaign Part 3 – Fall of Helmawr
Now, the saga continues in “Fall of Helmawr,” introducing an array of new vehicles and equipment for House Van Saar, the Palanite Enforcers, and the Ironhead Squat Prospectors. Additionally, four new Dramatis Personae make their entrance.
House Van Saar’s Nimble Upgrade – Arachnika Ash-jumpers
House Van Saar’s Arachni-rigs get an agile overhaul. This new variant, available in plastic, is designed for exploring wasteland outposts and rugged terrain. Dubbed “Arachnika Ash-jumpers,” these mechanical exosuits are equipped with powerful jump boosters, allowing them to leap through the air with incredible agility. The loadout has also been adjusted, replacing two servo-arms with a flamer and harpoon launcher.
These enhancements help the Van Saar navigate the ash wastes and keep pace with their Neoteks riding grav-cutters, which have undergone modifications suitable for Necromunda’s dunes.
Meet the Lady of Ash – Asun’ghar
A new power arises in the Ash Wastes – Asun’ghar, the Lady of Ash. This enigmatic figure is an influential spirit speaker, often seen as a living embodiment of the scavenger creatures inhabiting the wasteland. While much about her remains a mystery to the Hivers, she appears to share an almost psychic bond with beasts, including her grapplehawk familiar, Terror’s Shadow.
Necromunda Ash Wastes Outpost Terrain
Completing the reveal is the Necromunda Ash Wastes Outpost terrain box, featuring a Thatos Pattern Hab Module and an Extended Hab Module, accompanied by three platforms and four walkways. This modular kit offers endless assembly possibilities, serving as an ideal foundation for your skirmishes in the desolate wastes.
Stay tuned for further updates, including details on the vehicles for the Palanite Enforcers and Ironhead Squad Prospectors, and perhaps a surprise or two in the chaotic world of Necromunda.
