Necromunda

Necromunda is a skirmish tabletop war game originally produced by Games Workshop in 1995. It has been relaunched as Necromunda: Underhive in 2017.

In Necromunda, players control rival gangs battling each other in the Underhive, a place of anarchy and violence in the depths below the hive city. As in its parent game Warhammer 40,000, Necromunda uses 28 mm miniatures (approximately 1:56) and terrain (in this case, the Underhive – a heavily polluted, underground industrial environment).

Necromunda allows players to develop their gangs between battles, gaining experience, gaining and losing new members or equipment, according to a set of rules. Gangs that frequently win games acquire more (money) and fewer injuries and so are able to grow throughout a campaign.

Necromunda also stands out by having a more three-dimensional table layout, with buildings generally having multiple floors, interconnecting walkways, and bridges. The terrain is constructed to simulate a hive city on the planet Necromunda, a dystopian futuristic city resembling a termite mound many miles high.
