How does one safely move around the Ash Wastes outside the Hive? Well, walking certainly isn’t the best way to go. Best to grab yourself a ride on a Cargo-8 Ridgehauler. We get a look at this huge upcoming vehicle for Necromunda in this preview.
From the article:
Necromunda: Ash Wastes is on its way – and we’ll all soon be heading out of the underhive and into the great outdoors. But that outdoors is a rad-scarred horrorscape of toxic atmosphere and vicious combat. A vacation destination it is not.
So why head outside at all? Simple – there’s plunder to be had. The surface of Necromunda is criss-crossed with trade routes between all the various hives, spaceports, bastions, and trade centres. Goods from the hive manufactories are ferried across the poisoned wastes on great land trains. There’s money to be made from protecting the Guild of Coin’s Cargo-8 Ridgehaulers, which are juicy targets both for the nomadic denizens of the Ash Wastes and for gangs of underhive bandits.
Yes, that is a Munitorum Armoured Container in the back. And yes, there are rules for upgrades, armaments, and various common cargos. In fact, this is just the cab – Ridgehaulers are highly customisable, and can be fitted out with up to four trailers bristling with heavy weaponry, extra armour, and other defensive boondoggles to your gang’s own specifications (and the depth of its pockets). You can build your own custom train!*
