Houses in Necromunda rarely do anything purely out of benevolence—or genuine faith—and House Ko’iron is no exception. While you might think that the endless ash and hive smog would choke out any flicker of piety, this devout (and cunning) House ensures the flame of the Imperial Creed burns higher than ever. Enter the Ministorum Delegation, a trio of righteous (and suspiciously well-armed) operatives who wear their fervor—and their real agenda—on their sleeves.
Preaching the Emperor’s Will—or House Ko’iron’s Agenda
The Ministorum Delegation is all about publicly upholding the faith, piously preaching that the Emperor Protects, and ensuring the masses remain suitably awed. Behind the scenes, they’re an elite strike force loyal to House Ko’iron, tasked with shaping Necromunda’s underhive politics in Ko’iron’s favor—through sabotage, scheming, or even a bit of “holy” execution.
- Prima Materis
- The group’s leader, this robed priestess wields both a shock stave and a boltgun, proving that sermons on Necromunda sometimes require more than inspiring words.
- In the eyes of local gangs and downtrodden hivers, she’s practically a living saint, inspiring unwavering reverence… or fear.
- Frateris Bodyguard (x2)
- These two devout guardians carry lasguns and ornate chainblades, perfect for reminding heretics why it’s unwise to argue theology with a spinning chain blade aimed at their face.
- They’re the first to step into a brawl, providing the muscle while the Prima Materis keeps up the righteous facade.
Why This Trio is a Big Deal
- Double Duty: On the surface, they’re spreading the good word, rallying believers, and “advising” gangs to toe the line. In reality, they carry out assassinations, collect intel, and push House Ko’iron’s interests wherever they see fit.
- Psychological Might: Their unwavering faith makes them more resilient to fear tactics and morale tests. The Emperor’s blessings (or so they believe) boost their confidence, keeping them stoic in the face of Necromunda’s many horrors.
- Theme & Fluff: These miniatures are dripping with Imperial icons, purity seals, and scrolled parchment—perfect for anyone who loves that baroque Gothic style. It’s also a fascinating window into how religion is weaponized on Necromunda, just as everywhere else in the Imperium.
Rules & Where to Find Them
Rules for the Ministorum Delegation come in the box, plus they’re included in Necromunda: House of Faith. If you plan on running them as an Outcast Delegation Gang, you’ll also need Necromunda: Book of the Outcast. In practical terms:
- The Prima Materis is no slouch in combat, packing both ranged and melee punch.
- The Frateris Bodyguards ensure nobody gets close enough to silence her “sermons” (read: infiltration ops).
All three miniatures are Forge World resin, capturing that ornate detail from the rosaries to the chainblades. They come as one kit, so it’s easy to slot them into your campaign.
Burning Faith & Hidden Agendas
House Ko’iron’s Ministorum Delegation is equal parts intimidation squad and traveling church service. If your gang wants a taste of higher authority (and a formidable dose of righteous fury), these devout fanatics are the perfect addition. After all, who’s going to question the Emperor’s chosen, especially when they’re backed by chainblades and shock staves?
So whether you’re looking to sway your underhive campaign with fervent preaching or just want extra melee punch in your Outcast gang, this Delegation brings both the flames of faith and a sly helping of House Ko’iron’s underhanded ambition. In Necromunda, the Emperor may protect—but you can bet His minions in House Ko’iron are looking out for themselves, too.
