Back when I used to play, -13th addition, we didn't use this fancy "dice rolling" or "turn based" mechanic, we just slammed our models together and whoever broke had to be sacrificed
Next edition should require players to shoot their models with real guns, chop them with real knives, and set them on fire everytime they get hit or wounded
Games workshop came and sponsored our games club at our school donating a ton of games and models from hero’s quest, advanced heroes quest, man o war, epic, warhammer, warhammer 40k (it was still first and second edition then), tyrannid attack with extra game floor plates that was the tyrannid ship, space hulk with the expansions, and some other stuff I’m probably forgetting. A lot of us had got our own figures but also used many of the figures that were donated (mainly space marines, genestealers, and tyrannids (other than what is in the other games like epic, the warhammer fantasy stuff. We mainly focused on 40k) One game we were playing one guy decided to take his hand and wave it into our armies knocking figures everywhere. So we did the same thing to him, which he had kit bashed several of his figures. He threw a tantrum as soon as his figures got knocked over. We began laughing at him and saying he did it to ours so he hadn’t a leg to stand on and cry. He then began screaming that all the figures he used was his while part of the figures in we used some of them were the donated ones so it wasn’t so bad when he did it. Later he couldn’t figure out why no one wanted to play with him.
Honestly house Goliath is basically the thunder warriors 1. Larger than unarmored space marines 2. Last a short period 3. Aggressive to the point of recklessness
Could be that a certain someone slipped the net and ended up making a nest on Necromunda. Though I think the Goliaths are strong due to sheer size and muscle mass, while thunder warriors would be pound for pound stronger, faster etc.
I think they are partly thunder warriors, probably the code for their creation that reached necromunda was fragmentary and they had to make up for it, but im all in for this theory.
@@TheOuroboros84 well no Goliath were made from scratch and actually would have surpassed thunder warriors if the two houses that made them didn't both sabotage the project because they thought the Goliaths could be used to fix both van Sar and house Esther's problems.
Oh believe me, it expanded beyond these ganger houses. Genestealers, Chaos Cults, Enforcers, Bounty Hunters, Prospectors(Necromunda squats/kin) and ash nomads are in the game.
The Necromunda Game is obviously set in Necromunda, but imagine that the Imperium has over than 32,000 hive worlds with between 5-20 hives each, imagine how many gangs there are in Imperial territory.
Yep. Necromunda has the biggest production of all hive world's but the idea of how many hive world's have gangs it is crazy. I find it funny that there are gene stealer cults but they cants get a true hold because the gangers kill them they even nuked them once lol.
@@nathanieladams8633 nope, they all going to be different flavors of trans.... in the rainbow future of the far future, there is only gender confusion...
I really hope that besides the main gang houses duking it out, the other factions get expanded lore, such as the Ash Waste Nomads, Corpse Grinder Cult, Ironhead Squat Prospectors and Palantine Enforcers.
I've recently gotten into Necromunda big time. I've currently got a House Delaque and Palanite Enforcers gang. I love how disconnected Necromunda is from the rest of setting too
The developers of EYE Divine Cybermancy were the ones who made the Necromunda Hired Gun video game. While it's far more grounded than its predecessor, Hired Gun is still really fun, and not too expensive. Consider picking it up if you're at all interested in the setting. The boltgun is particularly satisfying to use, which I believe to be the mark of a good 40k game.
I remember a Necromunda promotional art back in the day. It was just a destroyed alleyway full of rusted garbage. That is Necromunda. I would love more Necromunda content.
I have actually been hoping you’d cover Necromunda content in your videos for quite some time, I absolutely love this universe. So please by all means, make more content on it 😊

Thank you Wes! This was a fantastic video, and I appreciate how succinctly the diverse lore was curated and shared. As a long time game fan(atic) of the tabletop and lore, this was a great watch.
More! More! More! Necromunda is one of my all-time favorites, so yes! MORE! A deep dive on each gang! Including Outcasts, the various Guilds, Ironheads, Nomads, Bounty Hunters, GSC, Enforcers! Lore videos on each section of Hive Primus, discuss the planetary governor and the big changes going on, and! I’m excited for Hive Secundus, particularly the Book of Desolation!
This was so cool Wes, ive never gotten a real full deep dive of necromunda lore like this, its gotten me really excited about checking out those models in a new light!
Necromunda is what I started with a year and a half ago..now I’m all the way into the universe, thanks to you! I just put storm of iron, and the book about the tech priest on my list as well! Big thanks to you 🎉🎉🎉
I've been aware of Necromunda about as long as I've been into WH40K, but knew little about its details. What a fuckin awesome setting! Definitely gonna need to dive into this, PLEASE give us some deep dives and story hours on this grimdark, mad max, crime world!
Thank you for this. The Jerico book was a good introduction to Necromunda for me, I will definitely check out that clan Esher book you mentioned. If you have the time, can you make another video with the other necromunda factions? Ratskinns, enforcers and squat minners
It's a great setting because just about anything can be added by went a bit deeper into the Underhive or Ash Wastes instead of needing a complex explanation. Things that aren't a threat to an army can get serious when it's only a handful of gang members to face it.
I don't see a lot of Necromunda lore vids. It was a nice change of pace from the glut of mundane lore. Its hard not to see the same lore on all of the lore channels. Good Pick Wes.
Oh wow! This gives me a bit of a “Warhammer Crime/Varangantua” feel. I knew nothing about this. Now I have to see for myself now that I’m nearly finished reading all of the Varangantua stories!
@@ThorGiske I love it all. The novels and the short stories. I especially loved the Baggit and Clodde stories “Dredge Runners” audio drama, The Wraithbone Pheonix, and The Vorbis Conspiracy. ‘Warhammer Crime” doesn’t have much representation on RUclips yet, and I hope to see people cover it more soon.
Yo Wes, I just wanted to express my thanks and say my heart goes out to you dude. After hearing your hobby story closed I went to check on my old stomping grounds, Little Wars. Hadn't been in 12 years. Freaked out a little when I drove up to something different. So I googled them and it turns out the moved across the parking lot, To An Even Better Bigger Building. Now it's a propah store and they still have the tables in the back, and painting classes on Wednesdays. So thanks Wes, if not for you I wouldn't have gone over there to see. And what a relief and joy it was to see the hobby store I uses to go to still kicking and in even better shape. Hang in there man, I know this sucks and is not easy. But we're rooting with you to pull through. Hope the next "lab" has a showcase table so you can show us your minis!
As a long time Necromunda addict I don't think I've ever been more excited by a WesHammer video. Love that you're covering some of the more specialist game lore too!
Out of all the GW IP there is, Necromunda i hokd a candle for. Its so rich, and one ofvthe few games that still models non playables like hangers on. The new stuff, the old stuff. So over the top, it inspired me to cosplay 😅. Im here for all the Neceomunda content Wes! ✌️
I knew about Necromunda before 40k but was always too busy to play or explore the lore. Granted I’m an 80’s child and my friend had Space Hulk and played Necromunda which I had no clue were the same universe. Love the lore vids. Keep them coming.
House Cawdor: We're the westboro baptist Church of the imperium. House Escher: We're literally just Wych cults but human and a bit more punk rock than goth. House Goliath: They tried to reinvent the wheel and artificially create Ogryn. They got a mix of ogryn and Ork, but human. House Orlock: M A D. M A X...but also mafia. Sort of. House Van Saar: The SECOND the mechanicus finds our we have a (semi) functional STC, we are boned. House Delaque: We're the Necromunda CIA. But we might actually be in contact with the 40k version of Aboleth or the Reaper's progenitor race from Mass Effect. Plus, we got sick eyewear.
I was just talking to a buddy about getting necromunda armies yesterday so this video really helped explain the factions for me. More on this would be great!
Wes, this video was absolutely PHENOMENAL! I have been trying to find a much more in depth video on Necromunda and its gangs for a while, and when I saw this in my feed, it made my day in an instant. I know a lot of people overlook this franchise, but I personally would LOVE more videos on it. The Corpse Grinder Cults and the Palanite enforcers seem so interesting. But yeah, this video was great! Thank you for all your hard work, and hope all is well!!
Thanks, I appreciate it and I'm glad it made your day! I received a lot of very nice And encouraging comments for more necromunda content. So at the bare minimum, I think I'm going to make a follow-up In the same style as this one covering all of the other gangs.
I've been playing through Necromunda: Hired Gun and you just made most of their lexicon make sense, so thank you! I didnt realize Necromunda was it's whole own game! I would watch more!
I love Necromunda. I sure would love to play it someday. It's been years since I got into Necromunda and I still haven't found a single person who wants to play a campaign with me. Not even a one-shot.
NICE ONE WES!!! I mean while I am an absolutely huge Space Marine fanatic, on all the channels nobody ever does any necromunda and the gangs are freaking awesome and the whole backstory is awesome and it's just like its own little pocket universe that not a lot of people know about, I mean I know about it but I'm just glad that you're letting other people know about it so they understand how freaking ridiculously insane some of this crap is! LOL😂😂 Great vid as always, keep them coming, and Much Love and support from N.Y.!!!
I enjoyed your explanations. They didn’t deliver the usual horrific relieve from the horrors of reality, but it was pretty nice to listen and think about the worldbuilding behind it - how to gather a whole bunch of different crazies with very dark sides without making the world one-sided.
Necromunda is by far one of the most fun games games workshop has produced. I was totally into the original in the 90s, and was overjoyed when they brought the game back. And the new edition is even better. Escher was my first gang, Van Saar are my present besties.
17:39 don’t forget that they also cared for each other a little bit too much. Take the step out of “oh no step brother I’m stuck” and you have their relationship to a T.
Love this content Wes, can’t believe I found it so late. Could you do more necromunda lore videos, on things like the Palatine enforcers, iron head squat prospectors, or ash waste nomads?
I miss the old days of Warhammer....when people actually remembered the *NECROMUNDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
When I first came across Necromunda was when my friend pulled out his rule book and terrain. We had to use our own models at the time and all we had to go by was the book. I ended up loving the Van Saar for their weapon selection. Something about having that one heavy with a plasma cannon that can fire across the field really clicked with me. I often developed a strategy of keeping my distance well luring my targets out in the open. This is how we learned just how important cover can be! Certainly glad they put out expanded rules and lore for this game as I absolutely love it! When all we originally had were the simple description back in the day it’s nice to have more! It’s a shame it isn’t as loved because it’s a bit easier to get into a game as you need far less models Would love to hear more about the gangs of the underhive! This game need more love
Currently I'm caught between wanting to get into the punk rock gun and drug runners and "We Have Alpha Legion at Home" and so I would LOVE to see more Necromunda content. I've already spent pretty much the entire pandemic getting into the rest of 40k, but this section of this galaxy gone mad has been something I've missed so far.
I rarely comment on videos but i can not stress enough how much this interests me. I've always loved your warhammer videos (they are the reson i got into the franchise at all) and I would absolutely adore it if you could take me and all the other fans like me down another amazing rabbit hole in the warhammer genre. P.S. pls make more necromunda maybe, pretty please with extra heretics on top.
Would love more Necromunda videos! Definitely would help out the players in my Necromunda campaign I'm running who aren't 100% privy to the lore and universe.
More Munda 4 us! Wes! Did you know that Escher House managed to invent an Elixir/cocktail with the ability to ressurect the dead? Look up the whole Deathmaidens! Good video! Hope you continue to Explore Necromunda!
Late comment, but I enjoyed the hell out of this video and would love to see more Necromunda content. My favorite parts of 40k lore are the parts not wearing power armor.
Necromunda is the best game in the 40k Universe. I used to play a few different gangs; Delaque, Cawdor, a Ratskin gang for a while and Spyre Hunters. Spyre Hunters were FUN. Enforcers always looked fun to play. Would love to see a video on the non-gang entities you can/could play in Necromunda. Best thing about this game was that for me as a kid I could have multiple gangs and still have spent a lot less than I would have on a single army in 40k. I wonder if that has anything to do with GW sidelining it?!
@@PelinalDidNothingWrong Yeah I'd love to see them put out some really high quality terrain and models. Now I'm older I'd happily spend the money. With the Ash Wastes stuff especially they're doing some really cool stuff.
House Cawdor: We have Black Templars at home. House Escher: We have Drukhari Wyches at home. House Goliath: We have Thunder Ogryns at home. House Orlock: Mecronunda's Meritocratic Mafia 🙃 House Van Saar: We have Mechanicus/Scitarii at home. House Delaque: We have Alpha Legion at home.
honestly, this is a good setting for Total war game set up, there are some rumors about total war warhammer 40k, if it's true, this could be a great setting
Overtyrant… as in, Ogre Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth!? The Goliaths are Ogres!? Star Chamber… as in, Slaan Star Chambers!? The Silent Ones of House Delaque are Lizardmen!?
Necromunda: Hired Gun has its issues, but I really enjoyed playing it. It had that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in a gigantic, underground facility filled with maniacal killers.
I'm reasonably new to Necromunda lore but as a M:tG Grognard I've got an immediate soft spot for House Delaque, since they come off as the alternate version (and I think by the timeline, predecessors of) House Dimir, who I root for every time we're thrown back to Ravnica.

Great vid as always, keep them coming, and Much Love and support from N.Y.!!!
Damn, WesHammer calling out the "cultured people" that are interested in House Escher✌️🤣
I enjoyed your explanations. They didn’t deliver the usual horrific relieve from the horrors of reality, but it was pretty nice to listen and think about the worldbuilding behind it - how to gather a whole bunch of different crazies with very dark sides without making the world one-sided.
I love Necromuda so much. I started playing it when it first came out and if I ever get back into tabletop games I’m starting there.
Necromunda is by far one of the most fun games games workshop has produced.
I was totally into the original in the 90s, and was overjoyed when they brought the game back.
And the new edition is even better.
Escher was my first gang, Van Saar are my present besties.
All this talk of Necromunda reminds me how much I miss GorkaMorka: just me and the boyz, madmaxing all over a desert looking for scrap and a scrap.
This is your BEST video yet brother! Keep at your grind.
Great video as always Wes. You should definitely keep covering Necromunda. It's a super interesting part of 40k.
17:39 don’t forget that they also cared for each other a little bit too much.
Take the step out of “oh no step brother I’m stuck” and you have their relationship to a T.
Whisper it to me please Wes?
Wes : 'Truth' or 'roots', I'm from Devon UK, I absolutely love the way you pronounce these words.
I think expeditions to the underhive would make a good game with mechanics from lethal company, it could practically be a mod for the game
Love this content Wes, can’t believe I found it so late. Could you do more necromunda lore videos, on things like the Palatine enforcers, iron head squat prospectors, or ash waste nomads?
I'm quite new to the hobby but I love listening about other games like this. Hopefully we can see more videos about it!
I miss the old days of Warhammer....when people actually remembered the *NECROMUNDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
When I first came across Necromunda was when my friend pulled out his rule book and terrain. We had to use our own models at the time and all we had to go by was the book. I ended up loving the Van Saar for their weapon selection. Something about having that one heavy with a plasma cannon that can fire across the field really clicked with me. I often developed a strategy of keeping my distance well luring my targets out in the open. This is how we learned just how important cover can be!
Certainly glad they put out expanded rules and lore for this game as I absolutely love it! When all we originally had were the simple description back in the day it’s nice to have more! It’s a shame it isn’t as loved because it’s a bit easier to get into a game as you need far less models
Would love to hear more about the gangs of the underhive! This game need more love
YES, I love these longform videos, always super interesting, bless up Wes.
Your smile makes me smile and I appreciate your happy vibe whilst I am being embraced by papa Nurgle.
Currently I'm caught between wanting to get into the punk rock gun and drug runners and "We Have Alpha Legion at Home" and so I would LOVE to see more Necromunda content. I've already spent pretty much the entire pandemic getting into the rest of 40k, but this section of this galaxy gone mad has been something I've missed so far.
I'm glad I used Escher Gangers as my EC Cultist Mob. They definitely have a Slaaneshi edge to them.
Loved this video! Keep 'em coming, please!
I rarely comment on videos but i can not stress enough how much this interests me. I've always loved your warhammer videos (they are the reson i got into the franchise at all) and I would absolutely adore it if you could take me and all the other fans like me down another amazing rabbit hole in the warhammer genre.
P.S. pls make more necromunda maybe, pretty please with extra heretics on top.
Would love more Necromunda videos! Definitely would help out the players in my Necromunda campaign I'm running who aren't 100% privy to the lore and universe.
I love Necromunda as its as close to an 'average citazen's life as we are really ever going to see in 40K. Also want to see more squats.
More Munda 4 us! Wes! Did you know that Escher House managed to invent an Elixir/cocktail with the ability to ressurect the dead? Look up the whole Deathmaidens! Good video! Hope you continue to Explore Necromunda!
The irony of the Goliaths using their prisoners for exactly the same purposes they were created. Gold XD
very interested in the corpse grinder cults after the story u did, really enjoyed the video dude would appreciate more content for sure
Woooo necromunda! Great models from there. I love getting a them as proxies for killteam or 40k
I for one want more Necromunda content! It's refreshing.
Nice! I've really wanted a good look into the necromunda side of 40k. Thanks Wes 💪
Late comment, but I enjoyed the hell out of this video and would love to see more Necromunda content. My favorite parts of 40k lore are the parts not wearing power armor.
Dear wes, my life ain't going great but your videos always calm me down thank you so much
Necromunda is the best game in the 40k Universe. I used to play a few different gangs; Delaque, Cawdor, a Ratskin gang for a while and Spyre Hunters. Spyre Hunters were FUN. Enforcers always looked fun to play.
Would love to see a video on the non-gang entities you can/could play in Necromunda.
Best thing about this game was that for me as a kid I could have multiple gangs and still have spent a lot less than I would have on a single army in 40k. I wonder if that has anything to do with GW sidelining it?!
At least GW seems to be outputting some really good models for Necromunda
@@PelinalDidNothingWrong Yeah I'd love to see them put out some really high quality terrain and models. Now I'm older I'd happily spend the money. With the Ash Wastes stuff especially they're doing some really cool stuff.
Really interested to know more about the other factions and whatnot ! If you want to make more videos about Necromunda Im all here for it !
House Cawdor: We have Black Templars at home.
House Escher: We have Drukhari Wyches at home.
House Goliath: We have Thunder Ogryns at home.
House Orlock: Mecronunda's Meritocratic Mafia 🙃
House Van Saar: We have Mechanicus/Scitarii at home.
House Delaque: We have Alpha Legion at home.
More Necromunda! Fave gang: Delaque. Personal headcanon: Alpha Legion spies.
Very glad you covered this and would Love to see more attention given to Necromunda!!! ❤❤❤
I loved this video topic, and i learned so much lore i had no idea existed, even as a lifelong 40k fan! Thanks Wes :)
Necromunda Hired Gun is a really good Underhive game. It's how I got into the necromunda storyline.
honestly, this is a good setting for Total war game set up, there are some rumors about total war warhammer 40k, if it's true, this could be a great setting
Overtyrant… as in, Ogre Overtyrant Greasus Goldtooth!? The Goliaths are Ogres!?
Star Chamber… as in, Slaan Star Chambers!? The Silent Ones of House Delaque are Lizardmen!?
Dude Delak and Van Saar are so cool. I'm 100% gonna have to pick up one of em and give it a shot
Defenitely sparked an interest in Necromunda for me! Would be very interested in more content on this lore
Necromunda: Hired Gun has its issues, but I really enjoyed playing it. It had that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped in a gigantic, underground facility filled with maniacal killers.
I love all Weshammer videos!
I love all Necromunda videos!
The Mining Chads🤣
This gave me a much needed laugh after a long day. Thank you, sir.
I'm reasonably new to Necromunda lore but as a M:tG Grognard I've got an immediate soft spot for House Delaque, since they come off as the alternate version (and I think by the timeline, predecessors of) House Dimir, who I root for every time we're thrown back to Ravnica.
What a game. And Harden had to miss that last freethrow. Choke culture gonna be the culture for the Intuit Dome 😂😂😂
Somehow I've been waiting for this for so long but never knew it til this moment. Lol
