description Necromunda Overview

Necromunda is a tabletop skirmish miniatures game produced by Games Workshop, set within the dystopian Warhammer 40,000 universe. Originally released in 1995, the game focuses on tactical gang warfare fought within the violent, polluted depths of a massive hive city. Players build and customize small crews representing various factions, such as House Goliath and House Escher, developing their skills and equipment through narrative campaign systems. It is designed for hobbyists who prefer detailed model customization and close-quarters, narrative-driven skirmishes over massive army-scale battles.

Where is Necromunda set within the Warhammer universe?

Necromunda is a tabletop skirmish game set on the hive world of Necromunda in the 41st Millennium of Warhammer 40,000.

What do players manage between Necromunda battles?

Players build a gang, equip individual fighters, and link battles through campaigns involving injuries, experience, territories, and income. That campaign layer is a major difference from a one-off miniature battle. [Necromunda](https://necromunda.com/?lang=es)

How is Necromunda different from Warhammer 40,000 or Kill Team?

Warhammer 40,000 normally represents larger army battles, while Necromunda focuses on a small gang and a continuing campaign in dense, multi-level terrain. Kill Team is also a skirmish game, but Necromunda's defining feature is the long-term development of gang members and territories.
