Upgrade your Necromunda games with new Ash Waste Nomads miniatures, weapons kits, and terrain boxes, fresh releases bring style to the wastelands!
If you’re ready to shake up your Necromunda battles, the Ash Waste Nomads are here with fresh reinforcements. The latest miniatures, weapons kits, and terrain boxes bring a gritty new edge to the wastelands.
From venom-coated weapons to fortified hubs, these releases don’t just look incredible—they expand your tactical options in ways that’ll leave your opponents scrambling. Let’s take a closer look at what these new kits revealed at LVO 2025 offer and why they’re a game-changer for your tabletop.
A Guide to Surviving the Ash Wastes with Style
In the gritty, storm-blasted world of Necromunda, the Ash Wastes Sha’dar Hunters Nomads are staking their claim in the harshest environments imaginable. Now, if you’re looking to add some tactical flair—and a bit of venomous bite—to your gang warfare, these desert dwellers might just be your ticket to the ultimate gang showdown.
The Arsenal: Mutant-Inspired Mayhem
The Nomads’ gear is a mix of salvaged tech and organic horror. Their close-combat weapons, coated in venom, can incapacitate foes faster than you can say “game over.” For heavier engagements, the upcoming plastic weapons and upgrades kit brings more options to the table, including:
- Heavy Blasters: Perfect for long-range takedowns.
- Venom Casters and Blast Carbines: Add versatility to your arsenal with weapons designed for the unique challenges of the ash wastes.
- Stub Guns and Autoguns: Reliable options for any skirmish.
These additions not only bolster your tactical options but also make your gang look downright menacing on the table.
The Creatures: Arthromite Spinewyrms
If the weapons weren’t scary enough, the Nomads also tame Arthromite Spinewyrms—massive mutant beasts with a penchant for destruction. These burrowing terrors can punch through dunes, rock, and even armor.
Their bites? A death sentence, thanks to anticoagulant saliva that ensures wounds won’t close. These creatures add an unpredictable edge to your gang and make for some truly memorable moments in gameplay.
What’s New for Ash Waste Nomads?
With the release of Necromunda: Tribes of the Wastelands, the Ash Waste Nomads are leveling up in a big way. This expansion introduces:
- Updated gang rules
- New hired guns and Dramatis Personae
- Themed scenarios for immersive battles
- A trading post for unique gear
- Mystical elements to enhance your gang’s flavor
This book is the ultimate toolkit for anyone looking to dominate the wastelands.
Building Better Battlegrounds
No game is complete without a killer setup, and Necromunda doesn’t disappoint. The Thatos Pattern Fortified Hub Module is a must-have for creating a secure base in the ash wastes. With reinforced structures and safe observation posts, it’s perfect for holding your ground against raiders and storms alike.
If urban chaos is more your style, the Ruined Underhive Sector box offers everything you need to construct a twisted maze of wreckage. With 72 terrain pieces, you’ll have endless options for crafting the ultimate battleground.
Who Are the Ash Waste Nomads?
The Ash Waste Nomads are masters of the desolate, toxic wastelands stretching between Necromunda’s hive cities. Far from being simple scavengers, they’ve honed their survival skills over generations, adapting to the inhospitable environment with the help of terrifying mutant creatures and ingenious scavenged weaponry. Think of them as the ultimate survivalists, but with a venom-coated twist.
Why Should You Care About the Ash Waste Nomads?
Here’s the thing: these warriors aren’t just about brute strength. They excel at ambushing unwary opponents with their stealth and cunning. Their ability to move unseen across the wastes makes them perfect for scouting missions, while their close-combat weapons—infused with potent venoms from the local wildlife—can dispatch enemies with surgical precision.
If you want a gang that’s as tactical as it is lethal, they’re the perfect pick.
Final Thoughts: Bringing the Wastes to Life
The Ash Waste Nomads bring a new level of strategy and flavor to Necromunda. From their venom-coated weapons to their Spinewyrm mounts, they offer a unique combination of stealth, savagery, and survival skills.
With the new weapons kit, expanded rules, and upgraded terrain, there’s never been a better time to rally your Nomad War Party and claim the wastelands as your own.
