THE STORY
There are few names in Necromunda's underhive that inspire as much fear and dread as that of Lothar Hex. An assassin of unparalleled skill, known as the Widowmaker, his tally of kills is impressive. Rebellious gang leaders, guilders and even the entire populations of small settlements have fallen to his uncanny skills. To cross his path is to court death. So why is Topek Greel, a Goliath ganger, seeking him out? The answer is sure to come with a large helping of blood-soaked mayhem, plenty of murder and Hex's traditional calling card, the Death's Head.

It's a good old-fashioned tale of revenge, looting and fire-crazed Cawdor religious zealots.
THE STORY
Many years ago, a trio of Goliath gangers came across something rare and amazing in the underhive. The Wings of Caliban, a symbol of the Adeptus Astartes, could have made their fortunes… until the three fell apart. Each taking one piece of the Wings, they could have gone their separate ways… but one of them ended up falling into a furnace, and was believed dead. But now he has returned, and wants what is his… and probably a healthy dose of revenge too. But to reunite the Wings, one piece will have to be retrieved from the zealots of House Cawdor.
Emp-Rah's Eye
A Necromunda story
Two Tails, storysinger of the Five Hands ratskin tribe is dying. But first, he must relate a tale from long ago to five braves, one of whom will ultimately take his place.
READ IT BECAUSE
It's a look away from the gang wars of the Underhive at the traditions of the savage ratskins, and the stories they tell to keep their history alive.
THE STORY
Of all the denizens of the underhive, the ratskin tribes are among the most insular and bound by tradition. Among the Five Hands tribe there exists a storysinger, a soul who has been blessed by the far-off Emp-Rah, the all powerful lord of all, and who keeps the stories of the tribe alive. Two Tails, the current storysinger, is dying. But before his time to enter the Dark Cave comes, he must find a successor. Five braves have gathered to embark on a quest, and one will survive and succeed Two Tails. But first they must hear a tale of a long ago storysinger, a tale that has a very personal resonance for Two Tails.
