Necromunda Hive Secundus: The Book of Desolation Unleashed
Secrets and Scandals in Secundus
The Book of Desolation is here to throw you into the terrifying and treasure-filled chaos of Hive Secundus. With new gangs, epic campaigns, and spine-tingling surprises, it’s time to rally your crew and dive into the action. Here’s the latest on the new Necromunda book from Warhammer Community.
Hive Secundus is buzzing with whispers of untold riches and sinister creatures lurking in its ruins. Lord Helmawr’s heir is mounting an expedition, and you know what that means – the gangs are gearing up for a gold rush. This isn’t your grandma’s treasure hunt. We’re talking xeno-infested ruins, deadly encounters, and riches beyond your wildest dreams.
New Gangs on the Block
The Book of Desolation rolls out four fresh gang rosters ready to shake things up:
- Malstrain Gangs: These creepy crawlers are the stuff of nightmares. Mutated horrors of the Broodmind come together to form ferocious hunting packs. Think Brood Scum and Malstrain Genestealers working in bloody harmony. While they lack customization, they pack a punch with their Brute-level fighters.
- Malstrain Corrupted Gangs: Want to spread the xeno love beyond the Abyss? These gangs let you integrate Malstrain fighters into most mainline gangs, including the Six Houses and other infamous groups. They’re perfect for those who’ve fallen under the Broodmind’s spell and returned to wreak havoc.
- Spyrer Hunting Parties: Lone wolves no more! These elite hunters team up for carnage, operating like no other gang. With just three to four members, each Spyrer boasts cutting-edge tech and a thirst for a high body count. It’s all about unlocking those sweet, sweet hunting rig upgrades.
- Secundan Incursion Gangs: Need some muscle to tackle the worst of the Malstrain? These gangs replace their Leader with a Spyrer to add some serious firepower to their squad. Perfect for those tricky encounters in the Underhells.
Campaigns in the Underhells
The Underhells Campaign system is the heart of this expansion. You’ll be tasked with breaching the Dust Wall, surviving the exclusion zone, and looting Hive Secundus. Sounds simple, right? Not quite. It’s a dramatic narrative adventure filled with peril and potential.
Players will enlist Abyssal Ferrymen – customizable guides essential for navigating the treacherous terrain. These experts come with a variety of weapons, wargear, and skills, including Custom Rig vehicles to help you cross the Dust Wall.
House Van Saar’s Tek-Hunters
Van Saar gangs are drawn to the lost archaeotech like moths to a flame. These tech-savvy explorers come in four flavors – Augurtek, Bioteknist, Gunntek, and Teknomat – each with unique skills and advanced gear. Plus, they’ve got a nifty 5” Movement characteristic, making them speedy little devils.
Dramatis Personae
The Book of Desolation introduces three powerful new characters:
- Malstrain Alpha: The terrifying leader of the Malstrain.
- Hermiatus the Second Son: A mysterious figure with dark secrets.
- Lady Haera Helmawr: The newly improved and ever-impressive heir of House Helmawr.
These characters can dramatically shift the balance of power in your campaigns and come with some jaw-dropping models.
Get Ready for the Rush
The Book of Desolation isn’t just another expansion – it’s a full-blown adventure into the heart of Hive Secundus. Whether you’re looking to lead a gang of nightmarish mutants or tech-hungry explorers, there’s something for everyone.
So, gear up, gather your gang, and prepare to face the horrors and treasures that await in the Underhells. Happy hunting!
