Necromunda never takes a day off. Gangs scrap for scraps while the hive itself tries to eat you.
So peace and quiet are just myths told over recycled brew. Instead, you hire Hangers-on to keep you fighting and, ideally, breathing.
What’s In The Box
This plastic pack brings five classic scum to your turf. You get an Ammo-jack, a Slopper, a Dome Runner, and a Rogue Doc who now brings a medi skull.
You also get a brand new face, the Hive Watcher, who is basically a living CCTV for the underhive. Moreover, every gang can recruit them, which keeps list building flexible.
Meet the Hive Watcher
The Hive Watcher knows the hive like a rat knows vents. No tunnel, chamber, or lift slips their notice. With Eyes of the Hive, infiltrators and reinforcements must deploy 9 inches away from your crew.
Therefore sneaky alpha strikes get pushed back, which buys you space to breathe. Additionally, they are paid to stand vigil, and they earn every credit.
Old Favorites, Fresh Tricks
You probably remember the rest, but credits are precious. The Slopper cooks meals that are barely edible yet surprisingly helpful for recovery. Meanwhile, the Rogue Doc patches holes with whatever is on hand, and they have two head options. The medi skull is the spicy upgrade. It costs 80 credits and is Rare 12. When you make a Recovery test, you roll an extra Injury die and keep the best. Furthermore, it stacks with friendly assistance and medicae kits, so you might fish from several dice. Presumably the floating needle-skull terrifies fighters upright, which tracks for Hive Primus.
Additionally, Dome Runners share the “know every access point” vibe with Hive Watchers. However, they use it for high-risk heists and break-ins. They often die chasing glory, yet that is how reputations and bankrolls grow downhive.
Where To Find The Rules
Spire of Primus, the next Aranthian Succession book, carries the new Hive Watcher and the updated Rogue Doc and Dome Runner rules. Moreover, Sloppers and Ammo-jacks remain covered across the House of… books, plus Bastions of Law and Halls of the Ancients. Therefore rules access stays straightforward if you own those tomes.
Summary
This set adds table help, campaign flavor, and control tools. The Hive Watcher punishes ambush plays, which feels huge in tight boards. Meanwhile, the medi skull gives you clutch survivability when a champ faceplants. So if your gang lives on the edge, these Hangers-on keep you there longer. Finally, bring them to the sump and let the hive do the rest.
