Warhammer 40K Next Week: Necromunda Outlaws And Horus Heresy Champions

4 Minute Read
Sep 4 2022

The windswept wastes of Necromunda are ruled by gangs and legendary outlaws. Now you can have some on your table.

It might be the time of Chaos, but Chaos is on a long, long list of problems faced by the denizens of Necromunda. Being able to dedicate yourself to fighting Chaos is a luxury. “Oh you only have to worry about horrific hell beasts who want to warp the minds of humanity? Must be nice. Some of us ‘ave to eat.”

Which is why Necromunda is home to some legendary figures—well legendary on Necromunda, at any rate. With names like Durgan Kill-Fist and Axon Hammer, you know it’s going to be a good time.

Necromunda Outlaws And Legends

Let’s start with Durgan Kill-Fist. With a massive kill-fist and a chainsaw Mohawk, it’s little wonder that he leads a gang of Ash Waste Outlaws/Outcasts. Durgan and his Kill-Fist can be hired as a Bounty Hunter for Outlaw gangs, but he can also be chosen to lead an Outcasts gang, if you’ve got the Book of the Outcast.

Axon Hammer, on the other hand, has basically nothing to do with his name. However, don’t let his lack of an axe or hammer fool you. As a Goliath House Agent, he’s powerful enough to hold his own in pretty much any fight.

And what he lacks in namesake weapons, he more than makes up for with a metal spiked Mohawk.

You could also grab the Gorvos siblings. These two spoiled, entitled wastrels might be lacking in capabilities, but they more than make up for them in gold plated stub guns and gunk bombs.

Want something beefier? The new Goliath Champion comes with a renderizer and devastating axe, as well as a combi-pistol and combi-weapon.

Of course, real power is in information and perception. Control the messaging and you control reality. Which is where the Propagandist and Agitator come into play. These two hangers-on can improve the rep of any gamg. The Propagandist lets everyone know you’re the group to join, aiding in recruitment, while the Agitator can help add extra territories.

All of these are up next week. But Necromunda isn’t the only one getting new toys…

Horus Heresy – Emperor’s Children And New Heads

The Emperor’s Children also get a wave of reinforcements next week. They’ll get Lucius, the Faultless Blade, one of the most arrogant Space Marines in history and that’s actually saying something. He’s got two blades, including the Blade of Laer, and will slice and dice everything in his artificer armor.

The Emperor’s Children also get a new Legion Praetor, with an incredibly stylish power spear and sonic shrieker.

Want heavier armor? Then you’ll want a Tartaros Praetor. With a paragon blade or Phoenix rapier, and a combi-weapon, the Tartaros Praetor can take a ton of punishment and can hold down a front with the right support.

There’s also two new sets of heads: Emperor’s Children for all your purple needs.

And White Scars with the most glorious top knots yet:

All this next week
