Unless you’re living a life of unimaginable upspire luxury, a good meal is hard to come by on Necromunda. When your main culinary options are corpse starch or unidentifiable fungi you’ve found growing on the seams of sewerage pipes, a good cook is worth their weight in spare plasma batteries.
Of course, there aren’t any good cooks in the underhive, and all you’re getting is this guy and a tentacle of indeterminate origin seasoned with the ash from his stogie.
He’s a Slopper, a hanger-on who’s truly useless in a fight, but whose… uh… culinary skills are quite handy for bringing injured gangers out of recovery – presumably when they realise that the alternative is another week with nowhere to hide from his cooking.
If your gang members have lost their appetite for whatever reason, perhaps they’ll perk up with a spot of retail therapy. It’s grim downhive, but not so grim that one can’t maintain appropriate levels of swag. And that’s where the Scabber comes in.
Whatever passes for style in the dingy recesses of the sump, this feller has it in spades. Scabbers are fences who can get rid of unwanted illegal goods on the Black Market – and maybe turn up a few other items that you DO want.
Clad in what passes for high fashion in these parts, the Scabber is also, shall we say, hapless in a firefight – but their unparalleled access to illicit loot more than makes up for it.
These insalubrious chaps will be available early next year from Forge World in one pack as single-pose resin models, ready to make your gang’s little patch of the underhive into a home. So why not sign up to the Forge World newsletter to make sure you’re first in the queue when the Sloppers and Scabbers come to Necromunda?
