The war of succession rages on in the hives and the ash wastes of Necromunda. Plans unravel and violence sweeps the planet, so why not insure your gangs against early-onset mortality by hiring an incredible knot of overgrown muscle?
Gorshiv Hammerfist is Doc Shiv’s most remarkable success story. He’s a ginormous Stimmer and the result of lots of testing and a mountain of failures. The specimen known as Gorshiv is now the de facto leader of Shiv’s Crushers, because… well, just look at him.
This towering slab of genewrought muscle is an engine of pure murder, able to shrug off flesh wounds and equipped with two colossal power hammers known as Wrack and Ruin – both custom-built for his big old ham hocks. He can add an almighty punch to your gang, and he gets even nastier with his sneaky stash of combat chems. He's also one of Necromunda's snappier dressers, with a bright green beard and the carcass of a trophy kill on his back.
Canny gang leaders can keep Hammerfist and other vat-grown simpletons in check with skilled Brute-handlers, and topped up with combat drugs using the services of Chem Dealers.
Armed with a shock whip for delicate applications of positive reinforcement, Brute Herders are well-trained in getting the most out of any gang’s Brutes in battle, as evidenced by the fact they still have two of their Emperor-given limbs. Fittingly, Goliath gangs can hire them for half price.
A Brute Herd can attempt to train any of the gang’s Brutes, and during a fight their very presence confers the Nerves of Steel skill to any within earshot of their barked commands.
Gangs often need to keep themselves in stims and chems with a dedicated Chem Dealer. While not particularly handy in a fight, these furtive hangers-on can source illicit substances of all flavours.
As you can see the Chem Dealer can provide your gang a real boost – just be sure not to cross them!
