Read the full game description
Necromunda: Underhive is a detailed skirmish game set in the industrial depths of Warhammer 40,000. The boxed game pits House Escher against House Goliath across modular Zone Mortalis tiles, where individual fighters spend actions to move, shoot, charge, take cover, operate doors, and recover from injury. Alternating activations make positioning and line of sight critical, while ammunition checks, wounds, pinned fighters, tactics cards, and scenario objectives create volatile firefights. Six scenarios and gang-building rules support stand-alone battles or a developing campaign in which injuries, equipment, and reputation give every fighter a story. It is tactical, terrain-driven, and intentionally unforgiving.
