Explore Necromunda with Hagthor Jarlun and Aster Felsturn, the fierce ferrymen guiding gangs through its treacherous depths.
Necromunda never sleeps, and neither do the gangs vying for dominance in its brutal underbelly. The abyssal depths of Hive Secundus hold unimaginable wealth, but they’re also crawling with Malstrain Genestealers and other horrors that would make even the most hardened gangers reconsider their life choices.
Getting there is a challenge, and that’s where the Abyssal Ferrymen come in. Leading the charge are two of the most notorious guides in Port Styx—Hagthor Jarlun and Aster Felsturn. These two bring a mix of experience, firepower, and good old-fashioned survival instincts to the fight, making them must-have allies for any gang looking to stake a claim in Necromunda’s deadliest territory.
Who Are Hagthor Jarlun and Aster Felsturn?
Necromunda is a dangerous place, and only the toughest survive. Hagthor Jarlun is one of the last Ironhead Squats from Jardlan, a survivor with a keen eye for opportunity and a practical approach to risk. He stumbled upon Aster Felsturn during one of his expeditions into Hive Secundus, watching in amazement as she fought off a dozen Brood Scum with little more than a jack wrench and sheer stubbornness.
Instead of leaving her to her fate, he followed her back to Port Styx and saw firsthand the booming Ferryman trade—guides leading desperate crews through the treacherous Exclusion Zone for a price. Hagthor saw the potential, extended an offer, and the two have been making a killing (sometimes literally) ever since. Aster takes the riskier contracts, trusting that Hagthor’s level-headed planning will keep them both alive.
Aster’s Harpy Armor and Endless Innovation
Aster Felsturn is no ordinary fighter. Her personal armor rig, the Harpy, is a walking testament to her relentless drive for improvement. Constantly modified and upgraded, it’s an ever-evolving piece of wargear that keeps her alive and kicking. Whether tweaking weapon systems or fine-tuning Ferryman vehicles, her ingenuity is a force multiplier in the field. Hagthor, ever the pragmatist, makes sure her more ambitious adjustments don’t result in catastrophic explosions—at least, not on their side.
For players, Aster’s ability to modify her gear and vehicles makes her a versatile asset, capable of adapting to shifting battle conditions. Whether leading an all-out charge or hanging back with heavy fire support, she brings unpredictability to the battlefield.
Hagthor’s Tactical Expertise and Survival Instincts
Hagthor may not be as flashy as Aster, but he’s got the kind of experience that keeps people alive. He’s seen what happens to those who act without thinking, and he isn’t about to let it happen to him. He’s the strategist of the duo, ensuring that every job is more profitable than a suicide mission. His mechanical skills keep Aster’s Harpy rig in peak condition, and his survival instincts mean he always has a way out—whether it’s through a hidden tunnel or an explosive distraction.
For Necromunda players, Hagthor brings durability and tactical control. He isn’t about reckless charges; he’s about calculated destruction. His presence in a gang gives them staying power, making sure they don’t just hit hard but actually live to spend the credits.
Bringing Hagthor and Aster to the Table
This dynamic duo is a perfect addition to any Necromunda campaign. Whether leading an expedition into the depths of Hive Secundus or holding their own in a high-stakes gang war, they add layers of strategy and storytelling to the game. Their backstory alone is rich with campaign potential—maybe a rival Ferryman crew is gunning for them, or perhaps they owe a favor to a powerful gang leader who’s ready to collect.
Mechanically, they offer a balance of risk and control. Aster’s bold tactics and constant upgrades mean she can outmaneuver and outgun opponents, while Hagthor’s experience ensures that those advantages don’t come at the cost of their lives. Players who enjoy high-risk, high-reward playstyles will find plenty to love in Aster, while those who prefer measured, methodical tactics will appreciate what Hagthor brings to the fight.
Wrapping Up the New Dynamic Duo
Hagthor Jarlun and Aster Felsturn bring more than just firepower—they bring depth, narrative potential, and a unique playstyle that rewards smart, aggressive play. For Necromunda players looking to shake up their campaigns, this duo is an opportunity worth taking.
