Weird Creatures & Brutal Leaders Join Necromunda’s Gang Wars
December 28, 2022 by brennon
A range of pre-orders popped up from Games Workshop for the world of Necromunda over the past week. A few new interesting characters and creepy creatures will be heading into the Underhive this weekend plus we got a look at another epic character for the Goliaths.
Brute Handler & Chem Dealer // Necromunda
Shop Necromunda @ Store.OnTableTop
Leading the way were some of the new characters available over on the Forge World webstore. You can call on the Brute Handler to look after some of the bigger bruisers in your gang. Give them proper training and make sure that they turn all of that brute strength into something tactically viable.
There is also the option to run with the Chem Dealer who gets you access to some very funky chems from the black market. Maybe you could combine him with the Brute Handler and do some "boosting". I'm sure it can't go too badly, right?
If you're interested in something a bit weird then how about the Outland Beastmaster With Ripperjacks?
Outland Beastmaster With Ripperjacks // Necromunda
Yes, that is a very brave fellow who has managed to get their hands on some utterly terrifying "pets". As a hired gun in the world of Necromunda, this fellow can be persuaded to send those Ripperjacks flying at your foes as long as you have the appropriate amount of credits. I wonder if he is covered in armour, bones and such because he has been bitten a far few too many times? Those miniatures are utterly mad and I absolutely love them.
Self Made Warlord
If you're looking to lead your Goliaths into the heart of the fighting then you can't go too far wrong when calling on the aid of Ajex Gorgoth.
Ajex Gorgoth // Necromunda
Gorgoth has fought his way up from the very bottom. Known as the Lord Of The Fist, he isn't afraid to make a bit of noise in the Underhive. He is one of the Natborn and shows more intelligence than most of his kin. He has also learned to craft his own weapons and armour and that's what he uses when he heads into battle. He is clad in his own "power armour" and any wounds have been replaced by bionics.
Ajex Gorgoth - Details // Necromunda
He even replaced his nose when it was bitten off during a fight. Pretty badass. He rocks up to the fighting with his seriously brutal servo claw and rumbling chain blade. He isn't particularly fast (who would have guessed) but he makes up for it by being very, very hard to budge. He is going to be relentlessly pushing forward, murdering everyone in his way.
Cawdor Upgrades
Finally, there is also a new set of resin bitz being made available for those who want to build on the options for their House Cawdor forces on the tabletop.
House Cawdor Accessories // Necromunda
You get a new set of heads which can be added to your plastic miniatures alongside backpacks complete with quirky weapons, accessories, explosives and more. One of the packs even comes with a little bomb rat that is gnawing its way free. I'm sure that will end well. Oh, and check out those haphazard grenades!
What do you make of these new Necromunda offerings?

Those look really nice. That said Ajex Gorgoth looks a lot like CSM Lord.
That Goliath has way to my much metal to lug around as an unaugmented human.
It looks ridiculous and GW is normally not bad at making ridiculous look good.
I really like the ripperjacks.
If it helps, it is powered armour (in a loose sense) and he is bionic’d up the whazoo so that probably helps.
Goliaths are also definitely augmented. They’re so heavily modified and chemically altered that it says they can often grow larger and stronger than Astartes. House Goliath essentially competes like cattle ranchers to grow the biggest and strongest workers, even though many of them live only a few years.
Not really. It’s just a bit too much for my liking. It would be a lot on a chaos space amrine and this suit just doesn’t register as “powered” to me.
May not help, I’m very much rooted in the old lore, so I’m looking at them with old grumpy gamer eyes.
Good looking new figures for gamers. Is it just me or does the first thing you think off was Yondu seeing Ajex off the top of my head for some reason.?
Gawds those ripperjacks are ace. They’re going on the list
