As low as life may seem in the clutches of Necromunda's gangs, there's always a lower rung to which unfortunate souls can fall. These outcasts, hated and spurned by the 'respectable' denizens of the underhive, gather together to form gangs of their own – be it for greed, ambition, or simply safety.

Expand your games of Necromunda with a wealth of new rules to add even more variety, scope, and excitement to your battles in the underhive. With this book you can explore the dark expanse of the hive city's badzones, striking out to found settlements and expand your territory in Outlands campaigns, as well as enlisting the aid of brand new Dramatis Personae to join or even lead your Underhive Outcasts gang.

Inside this 136-page book you'll find:
