Revealed – Squat Prospectors Hit the Motherlode in the Ash Wastes

Fest2022 Necromunda May6 Header

The ash wastes are home to many strange creatures, from the Ash Waste Nomads to the Dustback Helamites. But something else has now poked its head up from the dunes.

Yes, you wait 30 years for the return of the Squats, and then they all come back at once! These are the Ironhead Squat Prospectors – tough and resourceful miners out in the ash wastes who are more than capable of defending themselves from anyone that tries to take the treasures they dig up.

Yes, they’re called Squats – the only ones in the galaxy who still use the name (that we know of). They are distant relatives to the Leagues of Votann – descendants of the explorers who left the home worlds and settled on Necromunda. While they’re not part of the Leagues, we’re sure they’d still get on with the Kin who are all grumbling about the Aeldari while sitting in the pub.

The gang comes loaded with cool kit from boltguns to heavy stubbers, and they’re not afraid to use mining equipment like stone burners and power hammers in a fight either.

You’ll be able to find rules for using the new Prospector gang in the upcoming Necromunda expansion, Book of the Outlands, which is your guide to fighting out in the ash wastes.

Along with Prospector rules, it also features expanded rules for Ash Waste Nomad war parties, Orlocks, and a complete set of new vehicle rules for gangs, including adding the Cargo-8 Ridgehauler,* Ridgerunners, Wolfquads, and Rockgrinders to your rosters.

Now get behind the wheel of your choice and see all of today’s big reveals.
