The Necromunda Orlock Gang is getting a substantial expansion focused on controlling the dangerous roads of the underhive.
New fighters, leaders, and muscle arrive alongside a dedicated rules supplement. Meanwhile, classic Tzeentch Daemons and several major Black Library releases round out the week. Warhammer TV also brings new lore, battle reports, and the finale of Arkanaut.
Necromunda Orlock Gang Gets New Fighters, Road Rules, and Heavy Support
House Orlock leads the release week with three new plastic kits and a major rules expansion. The Road Sergeants set contains one Road Captain, five Road Sergeants, and two cyber-mastiffs. Additionally, the kit includes plenty of weapons and cosmetic options for customizing Champions.
The new Road Warriors take the Necromunda Orlock Gang in an even more specialized direction. Four archetypes are included: Road Enforcers, Road Shooters, Road Engineers, and Road Blasters. Consequently, players can build fighters around different battlefield jobs instead of relying on one standard ganger profile. Equipment options include meltaguns, pneumatic hammers, outrider flails, and sawn-off shotguns.
Meanwhile, Orlock Ogryn Minders provide the gang with some serious protective muscle. These huge fighters can intercept attacks intended for Leaders and Champions before answering with heavy mauls, spud-jackers, or ripper guns. That makes them more than simple beatsticks, since their durability directly protects valuable characters.
The Underhive Journal: Orlock – The House of Iron expands the faction even further. Players can build Road Gangs using customizable outrider quads or field destructive Orlock Wrecking Crews. Likewise, existing gangs gain new fighter rules, upgrades, legendary names, and additional background material.
A separate 24-card pack covers tactics, fighter statistics, territories, and side jobs. Matching pearlescent grey dice include D6s, Injury dice, Firepower dice, and a Scatter die. However, both accessories will only remain available while stocks last.
Outside Necromunda, five classic Tzeentch Daemons return through the GW Site-only Made to Order. The lineup includes both Greater Daemon variants, the Fatemaster, Fluxmaster, and wonderfully strange Blue Scribes. Black Library also brings several substantial releases.
The Flight of the Eisenstein receives a Premium Edition alongside a regular hardback and translated paperbacks.
Additionally, Galaxy in Flames returns in paperback. Two new hardbacks expand other corners of Warhammer fiction.
Whisperblade follows spy Zelef Eryx into Shyish, while Blood of the Bastion explores Grand Cathay through Yao Kai.
Finally, Warhammer TV concludes Arkanaut as Orra and Frodrikk attempt to escape the Helsmiths of Hashut.
Loremasters explores the Khazalite Holds, while Battle Report pits Grand Cathay against the Tomb Kings. Painting Desk Roadshow also brings Golden Demon coverage from SPIEL throughout the week.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Necromunda Orlock Gang is getting far more than a couple of replacement fighter kits. The new releases add leadership, specialists, bodyguards, vehicles, and deeper campaign options. Meanwhile, the wider preorder week gives Chaos collectors and Black Library readers plenty to consider. Most importantly, Orlock players now have significantly more ways to make their House of Iron crews feel distinct.
