Necromunda: Book of the Outlands
Description
Beyond the choking hive cities of Necromunda lie the ash wastes – sprawling outlands plagued by unpredictable weather and vicious beasts, where gangs of prospectors and nomads eke out a precipitous existence between polluted dunes and radioactive skies. Ferried across the rolling roads of this desolate expanse atop a dizzying variety of roaring vehicles, these gangs clash over mining spots, weapons caches, and convoys of precious goods in high-octane skirmishes where anything can happen.
Uncover a whole world outside the confines of the hive cities, full of dangerous individuals and limitless opportunities. Learn about the Ash Waste Nomads, the Ironhead Squat Prospectors, and a myriad of Hangers-on, Brutes, and Exotic Beasts. You'll also find rules for using vehicles in your games of Necromunda, along with a Driving Skill Set and a full workshop for customising and creating your own scratch. Plus, tables for generating ash wastes battlefield conditions, fighting battles on rolling roads, gang tactics for Ash Waste Nomads, Ironhead Squat Prospectors, Orlock Vehicle Gangs, and more.
