Hire Some Grizzled New Hired Guns For Necromunda
May 4, 2019 by brennon
Forge World has added two new Hired Guns into the mix for those playing Necromunda. Yar Umbra & The Deserter are ready to take your credits and deal death on your behalf.
Here's some of the backstory on these two weird fellows...
"Yar Umbra came to Hive Primus from another world. Unfortunately for Yar, when his ship left he wasn't on it. He now sells his services to the highest bidder, trying to scrape together the credits to get off Necromunda and return to his old life."
I think he is clearly the cooler looking of the two with that hood concealing who knows what underneath.
"None know the Deserter's identity, but his tattoos mark him as a veteran of the legendary Necromundan 8th. The crazy old soldier lives downhive in a booby-trapped warren, and there are few individuals as talented when it comes to laying traps or setting ambushes."
Both of these fellows really draw on what makes the world of Necromunda and Warhammer 40,000 so interesting for folks. There's a little comedy mixed in there with the grimdark which makes for awesome stories.
If I wasn't finding it hard to play the games I already have I reckon that I would try my hand at Necromunda. The new version of the game seems to hit all of the right notes and it comes with wonderful characters like these to include in your force for when you want to take things to the next level.
What do you make of this pair of reprobates?

I particularly like the deserter model, but I think I would need to reposition his legs as he looks a bit knock-kneed. Two decent minis at a more reasonable price than some forge world single models.
Those two look good. Shame that those are FW models.
Why? 2 character minis for €23 is far better than what GW are charging at the moment. And the resin from FW is usually good.
Thing is FW is more expensive outside UK than it’s in UK. So rest of us always pay even more from those than you British.
Oddly enough that is usually how it works when ordering from another country.
Meh… especially for the price.
Superb quality models, with bags of fresh character. Not sure about a veteran being pigeon toed though.
That is a much improved paint job than some other recent Forgeworld releases.
Will probably add these two. Wondering if there’s a special rule for the Deserter’s vox.
Nice they could work in fallout type games as well.
Pity they pretty much killed Necromunda with Kill Team.
Nice minis and a good price (for FW), problem is the rules for Hired Guns in Necromunda means you would probably never field them as they are prohibitively expensive to use (in fact I’ve a gut feeling they never actually played those rules during development during a campaign and were instead theory-hammered into creation) 🙁
