The Ironhead Squat Prospectors are back in full force on Necromunda, bringing their unique tech and rugged determination to the underhive. The long-awaited return of the Squats is heralded with the upcoming release of The Halls of the Ancients, a 128-page hardback expansion that marks the first time a non-Great House faction receives a comprehensive book akin to the “House of” series.
The Halls of the Ancients – Key Features:
- Origin Story: The book dives deep into the lore of the Squats on Necromunda, chronicling how the Confederation of Urlish first arrived, their role in the negotiation of the Great Charter, and why they’ve stayed for over 10,000 years.
- Gang Creation & Rules: Full rules for running Squat gangs are included, along with updated weapon and wargear lists. You’ll have access to two new fighters, Exotic Beasts (like the three Techmites), and vehicles such as the Svenotar Scout Trike.
- Expanded Units: The iconic Exo-driller, Claim Jumper, Skalvian Explorator, and the legendary Grimjarl twins, Orrin and Urson, all make their return to help you form a formidable Squat gang.
- Customisation & Clan Origins: The new rules for Squat Ancestry allow you to tailor your gang with unique skills based on their Mining Clan origins. You can even create your own Splinter Clan, making your gang distinct within the Squat hierarchy.
- Themed Scenarios: Test your gang’s mettle with two bespoke scenarios – Defend the Claim and Explore the Depths, adding thematic flavor to your Necromunda campaigns.
Weapons & Upgrades Sprue:
To further bolster your Squat gang, a comprehensive Weapons & Upgrades kit is also on the way. This kit addresses the missing plastic weapons from the current Ironhead arsenal, adding a variety of tools and armaments. The sprue contains:
- Six heads
- Two hand flamers
- Two axes
- Two power pack mounts
- A wide range of guns: flamer, meltagun, autopistol, stub gun, mining laser
- Special weapons like the photo lumen, gem extractor, arc welder, and circular stone saw
- A heavy flamer, two-handed power axe/power pick, and even a pointing arm for your gang leader to direct the action.
The Ironhead Squat Prospectors are nearly ready to embark on their next campaign in the ash wastes, equipped with formidable tech and a lust for fortune. Keep an eye out for more details on the release date as the Squats finish their gear check!
