Frequently Asked Questions and Errata

RAW ✔️ Frequently Asked Questions And Errata (12/2025)

Although we strive to ensure that our rules are perfect, sometimes mistakes do creep in, or the intent of a rule isn’t as clear as it could be. This document collects together amendments to the rules and presents our responses to players’ frequently asked questions. We’ve also taken the opportunity to listen to player feedback and to update several rules accordingly. All new errata and FAQs are highlighted in magenta.

NECROMUNDA RULEBOOK, NECROMUNDA: DARK UPRISING RULEBOOK, NECROMUNDA: HIVE WAR RULEBOOK, NECROMUNDA: ASH WASTES RULEBOOK​

As the Necromunda Core Rulebook has replaced these rulebooks, there is no longer any need for FAQs or errata covering the core rules within them. Other questions relating to the campaigns within these books will still be answered.

NECROMUNDA: CORE RULEBOOK​

ERRATA

FAQ

Q. What happens if a Blast marker scatters off the battlefield?
A. If the centre of the Blast marker ever leaves the battlefield, the Blast marker is removed.

Q. Can a Flame template be placed so that it touches fighters within, or even beyond, a Smoke cloud?
A. Yes. A Smoke cloud does not prevent a fighter from placing a Flame template as normal.

Q. When using the Pitch Dark rules, does a fighter have to be able to see an enemy fighter in order to make an attack with a weapon with the template or blast trait?
A. No. Template and Blast weapons target a point on the battlefield and so can be used whether a fighter can see another fighter or not. In Pitch Dark conditions, the fighter could easily have heard a noise down a corridor and decided to risk throwing a grenade or flaming the surrounding battlefield in the hope of hitting an enemy that they know is there, but they can’t pinpoint.

Q. When a fighter makes a Charge (Double) action, can they move within 1" of an enemy model and not end the move in base contact with at least one?
A. No. During a Charge (Double) action, if a fighter moves within 1" of an enemy model they must end the action in base contact with at least one enemy model.

Q. Staying with the Charge (Double) action, does a fighter have to make a Fight (Basic) action after successfully completing a Charge or can they choose to not attack?
A. The fighter must make a Fight (Basic) action.

Q. Can a fighter with a Versatile weapon engage an enemy fighter using a Move (Simple) action and then attack them in close combat?
A. Yes.

Q. When a fighter with a Versatile weapon makes a Charge (Double) action, do they have to end their move in base contact or can they end the move within the Long range of their weapon and then make a free Fight (Basic) action?
A. A fighter may stop within their weapon’s Long range and make a free Fight (Basic) action as normal for a successful charge.

Q. Some weapons have the Unwieldy trait but are not marked with an * to show they take up two weapon slots for a fighter (and vice versa). Is this a mistake?
A. No, this is intentional. Not all weapons that are difficult to use (and so gain the Unwieldy trait) are large enough to take up two weapon slots for a fighter so it is very possible to have a weapon with only the Unwieldy trait or an *, but not both.

Q. How do the Rapid Fire (X) and Blast (*) traits interact with each other?
A. Roll to hit as normal rolling the appropriate number of Firepower dice. A number of Blast markers are placed according to the number of bullet holes on the Firepower dice. If the attack hits then each Blast marker after the first is allocated with the centre hole on a visible target or spot within 3" of the original target or spot. If the attack misses then each Blast marker scatters separately from the original target or spot.

Q. The ‘House of…’ series of books do not have a Gang Equipment List; which equipment list should be used if a rule refers to the gang equipment list?
A. If the rule is referring to a specific fighter then use that fighter’s equipment list. If the rule is referring to an entire gang’s equipment list (for example, when equipping a House Legacy fighter for a Venator gang) then use the equipment list of a fighter with the Gang Hierarchy (Leader) special rule. If the gang has multiple fighters with the Gang Hierarchy (Leader) rule, you may choose which one to use.

Q. Different traps with the Hidden Traps rule have different trigger mechanisms; how do I resolve this on the battlefield?
A. A separate set of six markers are placed for each different type of trap.

Q. What do Exotic Beasts count as for the purposes of gang composition?
A. As they are Wargear, Exotic Beasts are not counted in any way for the purposes of gang composition.

Q. Does a model get XP when they cause an enemy fighter to become Webbed?
A. No.

Q. Can you please explain how to resolve attacks from the neural flayer full blast profile, there are a lot of traits there!
A. When a fighter is hit by a neural flayer’s full blast profile follow the below steps:

  • As soon as the fighter has been hit, reduce their Initiative by 2 due to the Concussion trait.
  • As both the Flash and the Gas replace the Wound roll, resolve both of their effects.
    • For the Flash trait the fighter must make an Initiative test (don’t forget their Initiative is reduced by 2 due to the Concussion trait) or gain the Blind condition.
    • Then roll a D6 for the Gas trait, if the result is equal to or less than the fighter’s Toughness, move on to resolve the Fear trait. Note, the fighter is not placed Prone and Pinned and no armour save may be made.
  • If the Gas trait would normally result in an Injury roll being made, instead the fighter must make a Nerve test, subtracting -2 from the result. If this test is failed, they are immediately Broken and run for cover.

NECROMUNDA: GANGS OF THE UNDERHIVE​

As Necromunda: Gangs of the Underhive has been replaced by the ‘House of…’ series of books and the Trading Post PDF there is no longer any need for FAQs or erratas for it.

NECROMUNDA: BOOK OF PERIL​

FAQ

Q. For the Howling Winds Badzone Event, can you clarify how it works in conjunction with weapons with the Smoke trait?
A. After placing the Smoke marker in the desired location, roll the D6; if a 4+ is rolled, remove the Smoke marker as the smoke cloud is swept away by the Howling Winds.

Q. What does it mean by a Brainleaf Zombie not being Broken when subject to the Blaze condition?
A. It means that, apart from the damage they suffer at the start of their activation, the Brainleaf Zombie can function as normal and does not move in a random direction, as dictated in the Blaze trait.

Q. Staying with Brainleaf Zombies, when are they activated?
A. In a game with an Arbitrator, Brainleaf Zombie’s are activated during a round as the Arbitrator chooses. If playing a game with Brainleaf Zombie’s without an Arbitrator, players may choose to activate a Brainleaf Zombie instead of activating one of their own fighters. The Zombie still moves 2D6" towards the nearest fighter (of either gang).

Q. How does the Unstable trait work on grenades?
A. When a fighter throws a grenade, the Firepower dice does not need to be rolled because it is assumed that the Ammo symbol has been rolled and an Ammo check is made automatically. That being the case, the Unstable trait functions as normal.

NECROMUNDA: BOOK OF JUDGEMENT​

As the Palanite Enforcers gang list in Necromunda: Book of Judgement has been replaced by the one found in Necromunda: Bastions of Law there is no longer any need for FAQs or erratas for it.

FAQ

Q. Why does Estus Jet’s stiletto knife have +1 to hit modifier? This does not match the profile for a stiletto knife given Gangs of the Underhive.
A. Certain Dramatis Personae have modified weapon profiles to represent their unique abilities or modifications to their weapons. As such, if a weapon has a different profile on a Dramatis Personae’s fighter card than the standard weapon, the change is intentional unless corrected in an errata otherwise.

Q. On Page 53 of the Book of Judgement, it says both players should read the text on each card. Does this mean both players read all 6 cards, or that they only read their 3 cards, as seen on page 63?
A. The latter. Players should read the three cards they have drawn and then place them face down.

Q. Many of the Intrigues require a fighter to perform a special action. Is this done in secret, or should I tell my opponent what I’m doing and why?
A. You should always tell your opponent what action(s) a fighter is performing and, if making a test, you should always tell your opponent what you are testing for and what you need to pass.

Think of Intrigues as a story unfolding, a story your opponent is perhaps only just finding out about as the details matter to your gang perhaps more than theirs. In some cases, such as when vandalising terrain, your enemy is bound to spot what is going on, so keeping your actions secret doesn’t make sense. In others, such as when hacking a console, your enemy is likely to spot some surreptitious behaviour, but won’t necessarily know what is going on. It’s quite likely they will be able to guess, and they will be able to prevent you fulfilling your goal, but you are not obliged to tell them which Intrigue you are trying to claim by performing a certain action.

Ultimately, your opponent knows far more about what is unfolding than the fighters on the battlefield, and this is part of the fun. Intrigues are designed to add exactly this sort of unfolding narrative.

Another option, if the Arbitrator is willing, is to let them fulfil the role of a traditional Games Master. In this way, both players are free to keep secrets from one another as long as the Arbitrator knows what is going on. Dice rolls can be made in secret and witnessed, and, in general, Intrigues can become most… intriguing!

Q. Why does the Desire’s Needle have the Power trait; the Power trait increases the Damage of the weapon by 1 on a natural 6 but a Toxin weapon doesn’t do damage. Is that intentional?
A. The inclusion of the Power trait is intentional. The extra damage is not the only effect of the trait in question - it also means that attacks made with Desire’s Needle cannot be Parried and, on a natural 6, no save roll can be made against the weapon.

Q. Can I use magnacles on the charge?
A. Yes.

FAQ

Q. If a Corpse Grinder Cult Initiate (Juve) is promoted to become a Cutter (Champion) during a campaign, do they lose any ranged weapons they are equipped with?
A. No, any ranged weapons they had as an Initiate (Juve) are kept. However, as their type changes to Cutter (Champion) upon promotion, they cannot be equipped with any new ranged weapons in the future.

Q. Similarly, if a Corpse Grinder Cult Initiate (Juve) is promoted to become a Cutter (Champion) during a campaign, do they lose the Infiltration special rule and with it the Infiltrate skill?
A. Yes. As the Infiltrate skill is granted by a special rule, it is lost when the fighter’s type changes from Initiate (Juve) to Cutter (Champion). Should a fighter change type, they lose the special rules of their old type, but gain the special rules of their new type.

Q. What about their masks, do these change when a fighter is promoted?
A. Yes. The fighter’s mask becomes more ornate with promotion through the cult. Therefore its type and rules change. The old mask isn’t discarded though. Rather, it is the old mask that has more ornamentation added.

Q. In that case, when a Corpse Grinder Cult Initiate (Juve) is promoted to become a Cutter (Champion) during a campaign, do they gain the Dervish special rule?
A. Yes.

Q. The Corpse Grinder Cult gang composition rules state that they may only ever include a maximum of 0-3 Champions (Cutters). Can I go above this?
A. No, that’s why the limit is there. Your gang can only take on new Champions (Cutters) if it currently contains fewer than three.

Q. So what happens if, during Down Time, my gang includes three Cutters and an Initiate with five or more upgrades?
A. That’s up to you. You may retire a Cutter during any post-battle sequence, including side battles during Down Time, thus reducing the number in your gang and allowing the Initiate to be promoted, or you may forego the Initiate’s promotion as promotion in this way is neither automatic nor compulsory.

Q. If a fighter has multiple Exotic Beasts with the Omen of Fortune rule, can they use this ability to avoid multiple hits?
A. No, they may only attempt to avoid one hit per round regardless of the number of Exotic Beasts with the Omen of Fortune ability they have.

A. No, the (twin-linked) is included in the name to make it clear that a model equipped with one on each arm only has the one set of assault grenade launchers.

Q. How does a fighter use the heavy rivet cannon terrain?
A. If a fighter is in base contact with the heavy rivet cannon, they may fire it as if it is a weapon they are equipped with. Each heavy rivet cannon may only be fired once per round.

FAQ

Q. When an Orlock Wrecker is promoted, can they still use their jump booster?
A. Yes, any Wargear or weapons a fighter has before they are promoted they may still use and keep access to, though they may no longer purchase additional equipment from the Orlock Wrecker equipment list - they must use the one relevant to their new rank within the gang.

Q. When an Orlock Wrecker dies, can I give their jump booster to another fighter or sell it?
A. No, fighters can only be given equipment that is in their equipment list, the Trading Post or the Black Market. As jump boosters do not appear on any of those they cannot be given to another fighter. For the same reason they cannot be sold during the post-battle sequence.

Q. How does a fighter use the Road Relic turret terrain?
A. If a fighter is in base contact with a Road Relic turret, they may fire it as if it is a weapon they are equipped with. Each Road Relic turret may only be fired once per round.

FAQ

Q. When a Van Saar Neotek is promoted, can they still use their grav-cutter?
A. Yes, any Wargear or weapons a fighter has before they are promoted they may still use and keep access to, though they may no longer purchase additional equipment from the Van Saar Neotek equipment list - they must use the one relevant to their new rank within the gang.

Q. When a Van Saar Neotek dies, can I give their grav-cutter to another fighter or sell it?
A. No, fighters can only be given equipment that is in their equipment list, the Trading Post or the Black Market. As grav-cutters do not appear on any of those they cannot be given to another fighter. For the same reason they cannot be sold during the Post-battle sequence.

Q. When they are hit by a weapon with the Seismic trait, does an Active fighter equipped with a gravcutter become Prone and Pinned?
A. Yes, a grav-cutter prevents a fighter becoming Prone and Pinned due to being hit by a ranged attack and means they cannot voluntarily become Prone and Pinned, but this does not stop the Seismic trait.

Q. How does a fighter use the Rad Cannon Emplacement terrain?
A. If a fighter is in base contact with the Rad Cannon Emplacement, they may fire it as if it is a weapon they are equipped with. Each Rad Cannon Emplacement may only be fired once per round.

FAQ

Q. How and when can I select the new wyrd powers from Book of the Outcast for my fighters that have been upgraded with Psychoteric Whispers?
A. When the Psychoteric Whispers upgrade is purchased for a fighter, the specialisation and first power must be selected from the Madness, Delusion or Darkness disciplines. However, during campaign play, when purchasing additional powers with XP they can be selected from any discipline. Note that the Psychoteric Choirs rule only applies to powers from the Madness, Delusion or Darkness disciplines.

FAQ

Q. There are no points values included for the single fighter delegations; how do I go about adding them to my Outcasts gang?
A. The points costs were not included for these fighters as it is possible to create a more characterful and personalised leader for your Outcasts gang using the standard rules. However, as there is a demand for them, amend the text on page 22 as follows: After the last bullet point add ‘Several delegations are made up of just one fighter. In order to use these, use the Elevating a Fighter rules with the following credits cost:

  • Master Charlatan (House of Artifice, page 85) 280 credits
  • Rebel Lord (House of Iron, page 84) 305 credits
  • Mind-locked Wyrd (House of Shadow, page 86) 150 credits’

Q. When selecting a Guild, Noble or Criminal affiliation for an Outcast gang you count as a gang of that affiliation for scenario and campaign purposes, does this give you access to their benefits and drawbacks?
A. No. The benefits and drawbacks of being allied to a Guild, Noble or Criminal faction are as a result of their alliance and not to do with the type of gang.

Q. Can an Outcast gang select the Imperial House or Justicar Courts affiliation and hire their delegations? If yes, how much do they cost?
A. An Outcast gang may select either the Imperial House as a Noble House affiliation or the Justicar Courts as a Merchant Guild affiliation. The costs for their delegations are as follows:

Q. There are several Dramatis Personae that may purchase an additional named one at the same time for a reduced credit cost, for example Kal Jericho and Scabs or Arbelesta and Aramista Catallus. If you elevate one to be an Outcast gang Leader, may you recruit the other as a Champion?
A. Yes. If a Dramatis Personae is elevated to be an Outcast gang Leader, then any other Dramatis Personae that may be recruited at the same time for a reduced credit cost may be recruited as Champions for the gang at gang creation for the reduced credit cost.

NECROMUNDA: ASH WASTES RULEBOOK​

FAQ

Q. The boons for the Road Sections in the Ash Wastes campaign seem to be very low – is this intentional?
A. Yes, this is to represent the fact that credits can be very hard to come by in the wastes. If the Arbitrator wishes, they can multiply all of the boons by 10.

Q. The Battlefield Conditions seem incredibly deadly – is there a way to alleviate this?
A. Away from the protection of the hives, the wastes are a very dangerous place to try and live, and the Battlefield Conditions rules reflect this. If players wish to reduce the impact these rules have upon battles, they may agree between them which conditions will be in play, and the Arbitrator may dictate certain conditions to be used.

FAQ

Q. When designing your own vehicle, including at gang creation, when can you purchase Upgrades and Wargear for the vehicle?
A. If designing your own vehicle at gang creation, then only Upgrades and Wargear listed in the vehicles entry may be purchased and fitted (later Upgrades and Wargear may be purchased from the Trading Post later). If designing one during the post-battle sequence then Upgrades and Wargear may be purchased from the Trading Post as long as at least one fighter has performed the Visit the Trading Post post-battle action.

FAQ

Q. When founding a gang for an Ash Wastes campaign, grav-cutters count as Wargear that grants the Mounted condition. Does this mean that Neoteks are subject to the rules granted by the Mounted condition?
A. No. When founding a gang for an Ash Wastes Campaign, grav-cutters count as Wargear that grants the Mounted condition, but they do not actually grant the Mounted condition. This distinction allows you to recruit Neoteks with the additional 400 credits gangs gain to spend on vehicles or models/equipment with the Mounted condition.

Q. How many attacks does Lady Haera in Sthenianpattern Hunting Rig have?
A. This depends on if her power spear is still available to use or if it has been lost due to the Homing Teleport rule. Assuming she still has the power spear her attacks are broken down as follows:

  • She has 4 attacks and gets to add one due to having two weapons with the Melee trait. These 5 attacks must be split as evenly as possible between her phase sword and her power spear.
  • In addition, she may make one attack each with her Sthenian claws due to the Power Pack trait. These additional attacks may only be used to attack with her Sthenian claws and no other attack dice may be used to make attacks with them.

Q. Can the Custom Rig only be used in Underhells Campaigns?
A. No, they may be used in any campaign that allows the use of vehicles.

Q. Is there a credit limit to the equipment Malstrain Brood Scum brought in as Roaming Horrors may be equipped with?
A. No, the player with Priority may have them equipped with any weapons or Wargear on their Equipment List – though this should be reflected on the model used to represent them.

Q. When founding a Van Saar gang is there a limit to the number of Tek-hunters I may recruit?
A. No. Although only one Tek may be upgraded to a Specialist when founding a gang, there is no limit to the number of Specialists a gang may include at creation.

NECROMUNDA: HALLS OF THE ANCIENTS​

FAQ

Q. Can an Exo Master use their paragon of the ancestors ability to use an Ancestor ability twice?
A. Yes.

Q. Can you explain further how the Power Pack trait works when making close combat attacks?
A. If a model has any weapons with the Power Pack trait and also the Melee or Sidearm trait, then in addition to any attacks they normally make the fighter may make exactly one attack with each of those weapons. No other attacks may be made with them and these attacks may not be used with any other weapons.

For example, if a fighter had an Attacks characteristic of 3, a power sword, a gem extractor and a circular stone saw then when they attack they would make three attacks with the power sword, one with the gem extractor and one with the circular stone saw.

Q. When founding an Ash Waste Nomads gang is there a limit to the number of Hunters I may recruit?
A. No. Although only one Warrior may be upgraded to a Specialist when founding a gang, there is no limit to the number of Specialists a gang may include at creation.

Q. The Crush wyrd power only causes an Injury roll to be made if the target passes a Save roll. Is this a mistake?
A. No. The more armour a fighter is wearing, the easier it is to crush them beneath its weight, hence it only works if the target passes a Save roll.
