Dregs of the Underhive
Hive Scum represent the bottom of underhive society. Owning allegiance to no noble house or major gang, they sell their firepower for food, credits, or simple survival. Armed with makeshift firearms, stubbers, and crude melee weapons, they overwhelm opponents through numbers. For a gang leader, they serve as disposable meat shields who absorb enemy charges and hold key chokepoints while elite fighters maneuver for victory.
Campaign Integration
Hive Scum can be hired by almost any Necromunda gang as hired guns or extra fighters. Whether you control House Escher, Goliath, Orlock, or Van Saar, these mercenaries easily slot into your roster. They provide vital extra actions and board presence without requiring a massive investment of campaign credits.
Key Highlights
- Low credit and campaign cost for ultimate list-building flexibility.
- Excellent source of spare weapons, heads, and accessories for kitbashing.
- Great painting canvas for testing rust, grime, and grimdark weathering techniques.
Tactical Application
- Against Elite Gangs: Screen your high-value fighters from heavy enemy fire using Hive Scum as disposable cover.
- Objective Control: Spread them across the board to claim distant objectives while your primary fighters engage.
- Strategic Overview: While individual Hive Scum lack elite combat stats, their true power lies in utility, map control, and protecting key gang members.

Warhammer 40,000: Necromunda – Válka gangů v podsvětí!
Přeneste se do temného, průmyslového podsvětí gigantických Úlových měst, kde platí jen jediné pravidlo: přežít. Necromunda je taktická gangová hra, ve které ovládáte malou skupinu pouličních bojovníků. Bojujete o kontrolu nad územím, zdroji a respekt, který rozhoduje o životě a smrti. Na rozdíl od klasického Warhammeru se zde zaměříte na vývoj a vylepšování svých jednotlivých členů gangu, kteří získávají zkušenosti a novou výbavu.
Co zde najdete:
- Základní sady a startovní boxy: Vše, co potřebujete k založení gangu a okamžitému vstupu do boje.
- Gangy a miniatury: Vyberte si jeden z kultovních gangů – ať už to jsou drsní Goliáti, rafinovaní Escherové nebo zrádní Delaqueové.
- Pravidla a knihy o příběhu: Ponořte se do detailního světa Úlového města a prozkoumejte jeho temná zákoutí.
- Terén a doplňky: Vytvořte si úžasná bojiště plná plošin, chodeb a nebezpečných výšin.
Necromunda je ideální pro hráče, kteří milují detailní příběhy, taktické souboje a dlouhodobý vývoj svých postav. Vstupte do podsvětí, získejte kontrolu a staňte se králi úlu!
