Description
Get ready for a new generation of war in the underhive. Necromunda: Underhive, a reworking of the 1995 title Necromunda, is packed with content to get you started: a full board representing the sewers and confines of the underhive, a rulebook, character cards, templates, dice, and your gangs.
There are two full gangs in the box: one set of nimble warrior-women from House Escher and one set of gene-crafted brutes from House Goliath. Each of these miniatures is detailed, characterful, and true to the classic spirit of Necromunda — hairstyles and all! These gangs are multi-part kits, with an enormous level of customization. There are weapons for any situation, from classics like the stub gun to more esoteric choices like the repurposed industrial equipment of House Goliath or the chem-weapons of the Eschers.
The set's gaming tiles and simple bulkhead scenery allow you to play games quickly and easily. As well as the underhive style of play covered by the boxed set, there will also be ways to play Necromunda with the multi-level skirmishes that defined the classic version of the game.

- hi everyone welcome to watch it played
- this is gonna be a news and updates video where i'm going to be unboxing a box i'm gonna be sharing some updates with you and i'm also gonna be testing up this new camera that i'm using right here
- so I'm sorry if you're looking at the channel and not seeing a lot of content like you normally would that content is being made it will get released probably all in a big storm of content all at once
- I'm gonna be spending most of my time during the dealer hall hours at the BoardGameGeek booth so swing by and say hello
- this is over at the Hyatt and you do need tickets to get in there it's generally after-hours but they have all kinds of tables to play games on and a library of all the hot games at Gen Con
- this will be a $10 ticketed event and limited to 80 people but you'll get a meal when you come the Osby games and giveaways prizes other special guests
- and everyone who comes can participate in the official strike tournament and I call it official because I decided to not because it's sanctioned in any way by ravans burger or the publisher or anything like that
- speaking of pod pledge we have our own pod pledge where you can go and pick up promos that we offered during previous fundraisers and those funds go to help support the show and purchases like this new camera that I'm using here
- so this is the box I received from Rob Orin of Rob's tabletop world a youtube channel that I first discovered because of his painting tutorials there
- so the game that's in here is giant killer robots you almost have to be a power lifter just to lift this thing
- Rob has actually added some of his own painting talent to these as well though adding some additional details to customize and personalize them even further for us I mean these models are already outrageous to begin with but having these additional details added to them is just gonna make the experience of playing it even more special
- Rob this is really what's the word for its pretty outrageous man this is really something else and and thank you thank you for this really generous gift
- you've not just given me and Luke a game to play and to share with other people who come to our house but also a unique production of it unlike anyone else has and that's really special and I'll think of you every time that we play this
- in light of Rob's generous gesture here I think one turn deserves another we should have our own giveaway and we need to do something that's worthy of a powerlifter
- if you donated during our seventh season fundraiser you are automatically entered into this draw but if you haven't don't worry you never have to donate to us to be entered into our contest
- and the code word is gonna be found over at Rob Oren's YouTube channel so if you go to his YouTube channel you'll find in his main youtube banner header there are five words in white the middle word the middle word is the code word for this contest

- it feels like all of my time is being taken up with creating hopefully useful tutorials for you but we haven't done a gameplay for a while and this might be a way for us to fit one of those in
