The action in Necromunda continues to heat up as raiding parties head into the dangerous ruins of Hive Secundus, a place filled with Malstrain Genestealers and valuable archaeotech relics.
However, getting there isn’t easy—between the towering hive cities lies the treacherous Ash Waste, where the Ash Waste Nomads roam, determined to stake their claim to the blasted desert dunes they call home.
Ash Waste Nomads: Masters of the Wasteland
The Ash Waste Nomads have been drawn out of hiding by the increased activity in the area, and they are fiercely protecting their territory. These skilled warriors make their living in the wastelands, ambushing unsuspecting travelers with their scavenged weapons and ferocious mounts—mutant insects they’ve raised and trained for battle.
The Sha’dar hunters, in particular, are known for their almost supernatural ability to remain unseen, making them ideal scouts for Nomad War Parties. Though they wield only close combat weapons, these are coated in deadly venoms from the wasteland’s dangerous creatures, making every blow a potentially lethal one.
Arthromite Spinewyrms: The Nomads’ Savage Allies
The Arthromite Spinewyrms are another key part of the Ash Waste Nomad arsenal. These terrifying creatures are tamed by the Nomads for their combat ferocity. The Spinewyrms burrow through sand, rock, and even armor with ease, making them nearly impossible to evade once they’ve locked onto their target. Their anticoagulant saliva ensures that a single bite can be a death sentence, as the poison spreads through the victim’s bloodstream, sealing their fate.
New Plastic Kit and Weapons Upgrades
To expand the capabilities of the Nomad War Parties, a new plastic weapons and upgrades kit is being released. This kit features a variety of alternative heads and accessories, as well as additional firepower options like heavy blasters, scavenged stub guns, autoguns, venom casters, and blast carbines. These new options will allow players to customize their gangs and make them even more deadly on the battlefield.
Necromunda: Tribes of the Wastelands Expansion
This new gang release is part of the House of… style updates for Necromunda. It greatly expands the Ash Waste Nomads with updated gang rules, new hired guns, and Dramatis Personae. Players can also look forward to themed scenarios, a trading post, and other mystical additions that bring the Nomads’ deadly way of life into sharper focus.
Thatos Pattern Fortified Hub Module: A Safer Haven in the Wastes
For those brave enough to survive the Ash Waste’s deadly environment, the Thatos Pattern Fortified Hub Module offers a much-needed refuge. This new release builds on the existing hub module kit, adding extra reinforcements to create a perfect safe house during a dust storm or while navigating the dangerous terrain. It’s the ideal place to hunker down, rest, and regroup before heading back into the dangerous wastes.
Ruined Underhive Sector Box: Explore the Maze Beneath Hive Secundus
The dangers of the Hive Secundus ruins are not only found in the wastelands but beneath them as well. The Ruined Underhive Sector box brings together three existing Ruined Zone Mortalis boxes, creating an impressive 72 terrain pieces to build a complex, deadly labyrinth for your gang to explore. This terrain set provides endless possibilities for creating twisted mazes and narrow corridors for intense close-quarters combat.
Conclusion
With the Ash Waste Nomads and their deadly creatures joining the fray, the Necromunda experience is expanding to new heights in 2025. From the Nomad War Parties and Arthromite Spinewyrms to new terrain and weapons upgrades, players will have more ways than ever to customize their gangs and explore the dangerous, ever-shifting landscape of Necromunda. Arm your Nomads, prepare for the Ash Wastes, and get ready to explore the ruins of Hive Secundus—where danger lurks at every corner!
