There’s a new Necromunda Core Rulebook out this weekend for pre-order as well as Imperial Hero Minka Lesk!

via Games Workshop

Minka Lesk $40

Minka Lesk. The Last Whiteshield of Kasr Myrak, forged in the fires of the Fall of Cadia, now a Captain in the Cadian 101st Regiment. Lesk owes her meteoric rise through the ranks of the Astra Militarum to her repeated victories in the face of impossible odds, leading her fellow Cadians from the front lines in Humanity’s war for survival.

This multipart plastic kit builds Minka Lesk, a legendary Cadian officer and star of Black Library fiction. The kit offers an impressive assortment of heads, arms, and accessories, allowing you to represent Minka at different points in her rise through the ranks – from a battle-worn young soldier for your Cadian Shock Troops, to a respected Captain suited for use as a Cadian Castellan on the battlefield. You can choose between a head wearing bandages or a comm-set, a pointing hand or power sword for her right arm, a lasgun or bolt pistol for her left arm, and a combat knife or empty scabbard for her belt.

Stood atop a scenic base littered with the rubble, remains, and blasphemous sigils of Cadia’s fall, Minka is a fantastic addition to any Astra Militarum army or collection, and a great painting project for fans of her books.

This kit comprises 13 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 28.5mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

This item is available to order until 8am BST on Monday the 7th of August 2023. Items will be dispatched within 120 days of ordering.

Necromunda: Core Rulebook $70

Necromunda. This hive world was founded over 15,000 years ago, as a mining and manufacturing colony. In the millennia since, the planet’s mountains have been reduced to rubble for the ore within, its seas turned into oceans of chemical sludge, its very air poisoned with radioactive filth. Teeming billions infest its vast hive cities, from the glittering spires to the bowels of the underhive, a maddening mass of humanity that lives, works, fights, and dies without ever seeing the light of day. In the world beyond, outlaw gangs and nomadic tribes war endlessly over trade routes across the irradiated ash wastes.

Life is cheap. The bullet is king. And in the shadows of the hive, only the strongest endure…

This rulebook is the definitive guide to the game of Necromunda – the tabletop skirmish wargame of anarchy and violence, where players control rival gangs battling for supremacy. It contains the full and updated core rules of the game, including new additions like vehicles, founding gangs, and ash wastes weather, along with campaign rules and scenarios. The book also offers an in-depth look at the setting of Necromunda through background lore and stunning illustrations. It’s an essential resource for anyone who wants to enter the brutal world of inter-gang warfare!

This 336-page hardback book contains:

– Lore of Necromunda: Learn about the locales and locals of this nightmare world, from the choking underhive depths to the toxic expanse of the ash wastes.
