Necromunda- Beastmasters and Ripperjacks


These look rather terrifying. Of course Necromunda is up there when it comes to some creative and cool miniatures.

Using ancient animal husbandry wisdom handed down throughout history (and their trusty shock staves), Beastmasters tame the fauna of Necromunda to do their bidding. These pets include gigantic hive rats, rock-skinned millisaurs, and the adorable ripperjacks. 

Beastmasters command these winged delights with animal calls, siccing them on unwary gangers for giggles and credits*. Should their pets fail to get the job done, their shock stave and sawn-off shotgun should be enough to finish the job.

Ripperjacks are such an ever-present threat on Necromunda that every ganger knows to check the ceiling of any dome they enter – there’s nothing worse than a skull full of teeth dropping on you!

Ripperjacks have the gift of Flight, and can also smother their targets with an Enveloping Attack. All that time spent living with ripperjacks has taught their Beastmasters a thing or two, and they get the Catfall skill to keep up with their leathery pals.


Keep some credits aside – you’ll be able to hire the Outlander Beastmaster and a pair of cuddly ripperjacks soon.** All three are cast in resin.
