The House Of Iron Locks N’ Loads New Tech For Necromunda
August 24, 2020 by brennon
Games Workshop showed off a bunch of new stuff for their games this weekend and we're starting off with a reveal for Necromunda. The House Of Iron is coming soon for the Orlocks, locked n' loaded with all manner of awesome technology and weaponry.
House Of Iron // Necromunda
Start A Necromunda Gang @ Store.OnTableTop
This book comes with a lot of lore and background for House Orlock plus plenty of options to help with expanding your campaigns. You will also find new options for your gangers, hired guns, hangers-on and the wargear that they're bringing to the table. Talking of wargear, this is the new plastic set which contains the three new danger types...
Orlock Arms Masters // Necromunda
The first of these is the seriously hench looking Orlock Arms Masters. These dudes bring some seriously hefty pieces of kit to the tabletop for smashing up their enemies in close combat and pounding them into the dirt from afar. Why wouldn't you want to absolutely smash the hell out of things with an arc-hammer?
As well as the Arms Masters you've also got the Orlock Wreckers who are taking to the skies. These prospects (juves) are given the most dangerous tasks in order to prove themselves and although these jump packs would be useful for avoiding dangerous falls, the underhive is not known for its lofty ceilings.
Orlock Wreckers // Necromunda
If you're looking to add some speed to your Orlock gang then this seems like a great idea. Accompanying the Wreckers and Arms Masters you've also got a pack of ravening Cyber-mastiffs who act as the Orlock guard dogs and their hunters who are useful at tracking down the enemy and bringing them back to your headquarters.
Orlock Cyber-Mastiffs // Necromunda
These new sets are going to be coming to the world of Necromunda soon, offering up new ways for you to take on your foes in the Underhive. Necromunda seems to be in a really good place right now with all sorts of extras for the various core gangs plus more coming to those that followed in the wake of the original release. It's a good time to be a specialist wargamer.

I have the basic Orlocks, so the chonks and dogs box will be going on the list.
What I like the most is that the flying pose works with and without the acrylic pole stuck in his jacksy.
@brennon – there is no mention of the 40K releases previewed. Is that coming in a separate news item?
Yep
LOVE the new doggies but it’s a pity about the “Wrecker” minis. Alas with those jump packs and cross belts across the chests it’s going to be hard work to convert them into normal “Juve” minis (which is something you could do with the first two additional box sets with a simple arm/gun swap). Not sure how to make up some Juve minis now, possibly looking back at the old metal Orlock Gangers (what with the scale creep over the years) if they were some pistol armed ones? Somebody in the Necromunda Facebook page did note that flying bases are… Read more »
Those look really good.
Good looking figures I think they could work as a (gaunt ghosts)/dirty dozen type guard unit.
I don’t even play Orlock, but it’s seriously tempting to pick up these guys and their dogs! They’ve got such a gritty, rough-and-ready industrial feel, while keeping elements of their biker heritage. Now if we can get their Lugger combat servitors…
Looks interesting, new mini’s for Necromunda are looking pretty good on the whole but I’m put off by the sheer weight of books I’d need to buy just to play a game. Too much hassle. Produce a proper rulebook and I can see myself spending a fortune on Necromunda but until then I’m not buying minis no matter how nice they are only to be running round the houses (pun intended) looking for rulebooks…
They sorta did at one point last year and released two books (main rules and gangs of the underhive), but then went crazy and released another four/five hardback rule books since then. Some were for gangs that weren’t around at the time they did the new N19 rulebook (fair enough), but the last two (and the next four) basically are replacing the gangs of the underhive rule book. With all the rulebooks (and don’t get me started on the damn cards), it’s a VERY expensive game to get into. Luckily if you search the internet you can get hold of… Read more »
It’s great all the factions are getting their own unique extras and stuff. Have to say I am really loving this.
