Heretek Cabal
Hereteks are outcasts even among the adepts of the Machine God, technomancers who have strayed from the strictures of Mars, pursuing forbidden knowledge without restraint or sanction. Some are exiled from the upper hive for their transgressions, while others descend willingly, seeking the lawless depths where their work may continue unobserved.
In the underhive, these renegade artisans and bio-mechanical savants rarely remain solitary for long. Drawn together by shared obsessions or complementary disciplines, they form loose cabals, secretive enclaves where flesh and machine are reshaped in equal measure. Within these shadowed workshops, knowledge is traded, experiments refined, and the boundary between man and construct steadily eroded.
Such cabals rely heavily on Thralls; lobotomised servants bound by crude control circuits and invasive implants. To the Heretek, these are not followers, but tools: extensions of their will, to be expended, repurposed, or discarded as required in the pursuit of progress.
Gang Composition
Heretek Cabals follow all the usual restrictions and guidelines for creating a gang as described in the Necromunda Core Rulebook with the following exception:
There must always be at least as many Thralls as non-Thrall fighters in the gang.
If, after the Post-Battle Sequence, this condition is not met, the gang must either:
- Hire additional Thralls, or
- Remove fighters from the gang, replacing them with free Thralls (these fighters are considered to have been converted into Thralls).
Additional Rules
Renegade
Heretek Cabals are a Renegade Gang.
Servo Targeting (X)
Servo-assisted targeting systems compensate for degraded motor function and crude augmetics, allowing Servitors to aim with mechanical precision, though never with true human intuition.
When making a ranged attack, a fighter with Servo Targeting (X) always fails to hit on a roll below X, regardless of modifiers.
Example
A Thrall with BS 4+ and Servo Targeting (5+) targets an enemy in light cover. After modifiers, they would normally require a 3+ to hit. However, due to Servo Targeting (5+), they can only succeed on a natural roll of 5 or 6.
If the same Thrall targets an enemy in heavy cover and requires a 6+ to hit, they must still roll a 6, as normal.
Servitor Network
Arch-Hereteks maintain control of their Thralls through a network of invasive implants.
At the start of the battle, designate a Gang Hierarchy fighter as the Central Node (this must be your Leader if possible).
If the Central Node is taken Out of Action, then during each End Phase all Thralls must make an Intelligence test.
- If passed, nothing happens.
- If failed, the Thrall immediately takes a Flesh wound, if this causes the threall to go out of action they are treated as out cold.
Close Knit Cabal
Heretek Cabal may not recruit Heretek Hangers-on.
Cabals
For the most part, what draws Hereteks together is a shared interest in a forbidden area of research. When founding a Heretek cabal you may pick a cabal specialism:
Xenotech Cabal
Some Hereteks turn their attention to xenos artefacts. These relics are dissected, repurposed, and integrated into their work, their origins dismissed as irrelevant compared to their utility. Such practices are abhorrent to most, but in the underhive, function matters more than doctrine.
Equipment Additions
The following items are added to the Arch Heretek, Heretek, and Assistant equipment lists:
- Kroot Long Rifle
- Sling Gun
- Kai Hellspear
- Mindflect Shard
The following items are added to the Arch Heretek and Heretek equipment lists:
- Rak'gol Razor Gun
- Withertouch Pistol
- Hrud Fusil
- Necrotic Beamer
- Neural Flayer
- Yu'vath Puzzle Box
- Demiurg Energy Drill
- Xenarch Death-Arc
- Xenoculum*
*The first time an Arch-Heretek takes a Xenoculum, they may select the result instead of rolling. This item cannot be unequipped.
Noospheric Cabal
Some Hereteks turn to the hidden architectures of the hive — data-looms, machine spirits, and half-forgotten control systems buried deep within its infrastructure. By interfacing directly with these networks through invasive augmetics, they can manipulate systems far beyond their immediate reach.
Equipment Additions
The following item is added to the Arch Heretek and Heretek equipment lists:
- Techno-Uplink - 35 credits
Techno-Uplink
When equipped, this fighter is treated as an unsanctioned psyker and may learn a single power from the Technomancy discipline. No additional powers may be learned.
- This fighter cannot attempt Psychic Duels.
- If this fighter suffers Perils of the Warp when attempting to manifest a power, they are immediately taken Out of Action and are treated as Out Cold as their implant overloads.
- Cannot utiilse Force weapons
Augmetic Cabal
For some, the weakness of flesh is not a philosophical concept but an engineering problem to be solved. Limbs are replaced, organs upgraded, and the human form is gradually reworked into something more durable, more efficient, far less human.
Bionics
All Bionics are added to the Arch Heretek, Heretek, and Assistant equipment lists.
Augmentation Limits
- Arch Hereteks and Hereteks may be equipped with up to 2 Bionics without requiring a pre-existing injury.
- Assistants may be equipped with 1 Bionic in this way.
If Bionics are taken in this manner, the fighter’s cost increases as if they had Advanced.
Favour Table
Heretek Cabals constantly experiment and refine their work. Sometimes, these efforts yield unexpected — and often dangerous — results.
Heretek Cabals use this Favour table.
| 2D6 | Result |
|---|---|
| 2 | Thralldom: Randomly select one non-Thrall fighter. They are removed from the gang and replaced with a Thrall. |
| 3–4 | Maintenance: Add +1 to all Ammo checks and Unstable checks made during the next battle. |
| 5–7 | Favourbox |
| 8–9 | Experimentation |
| 10 | Dark Construct Deployment: Gain either a Reductor Construct or an Secutor Construct for free for the next battle. After the battle, it leaves the gang. |
| 11–12 | Weakness of Flesh* |
* Once per campaign.
Experimentation
Select an Assistant. Make a Characteristic check for each of the following:
- Movement
- Strength
- Toughness
- Initiative
- Attacks
For each test that is passed, increase that characteristic by D3 permanently. However, the maximum characteristics must still be respected.
Then apply the following changes:
- Reduce this fighter’s Intelligence and Willpower by 2.
- Increase this fighter’s Cool by 2.
Weakness of Flesh
Select an Arch-Heretek, Heretek, or Wirefiend. They gain the following rule:
Weakness of Flesh:
- This fighter automatically passes Mental characteristic checks.
- They are immune to Insanity, Blind, and Broken conditions.
- They gain a Conversion Field and Digi-Multi Lasers (free).
However:
- This fighter cannot make Group Activations.
- This fighter cannot use Lead by Example.
Skills
Heretek Cabals have access to Module skills.

| 2 | Mechadendrite Module |
| 3 | Control Module |
| 4 | Life Support Module |
| 5 | Augment Module |

Heat Sink Module
This fighter ignores the Unstable trait on any weapon they are equipped with.
If an Ammo result is rolled and the Ammo check is failed, the weapon becomes Jammed instead.
Mechadendrite Module
When making a ranged attack, this fighter may fire one additional weapon with the Sidearm trait (if not already being fired).
- This attack has Servo Targeting (3+)
- This attack must target the same model unless the fighter has Gunfighter
Control Module
Thralls within 6" gain Servo Targeting (4+).
Additionally, Thralls within 6" do not have to test in the end phase if the Central Node is Out of Action.
Life Support Module
When making a Recovery test, this fighter may roll an additional Injury dice and discard one.
They may also re-roll the Injury table, but must accept the second result.
Augment Module
One ranged weapon carried by this fighter gains one of the following traits:
- Shock
- Impale
- Haywire
- Rad-Phage
Assimilation Module
This fighter replaces the Esoteric trait on any weapon they are equipped with with the Unstable trait.

Special Rules: Gang Leader, Gang Hierarchy (Leader), Tools of the Trade, Group Activation (2)
Special Rules
Gang Leader: A Heretek Cabal gang must always include a single fighter with this special rule.
A fighter with this special rule may not retire during Campaign play. For a gang leader, the only way out is death. Should this fighter die during the course of a campaign, or otherwise be removed from the gang (for example, if a captured Leader is Sold to the Guilders), another fighter must be promoted to replace them (see Death of a Leader).
Gang Hierarchy (Leader): During a battle, once this fighter's gang has failed a Bottle test, during any End phase in which this fighter passes its Cool check and does not flee the battlefield, any friendly Heretek Cabal fighters within 12" of this fighter will automatically pass their Cool checks and will not flee the battlefield.
Additionally, during Campaign play this fighter may perform post-battle actions.
Tools of the Trade: This fighter enjoys access to a wide variety of weapons. A fighter with this special rule may take multiple equipment sets.
Group Activation (2): When a fighter with this special rule is activated, their controlling player can choose to activate a number of additional Ready friendly Heretek Cabal fighters equal to the number shown in brackets that are within 3" of this fighter as part of a Group Activation.
- The controlling player must nominate all of the fighters who will be activated in this way before any of them is activated.
- Once all participants of the Group Activation have been nominated, the controlling player selects one and activates them as normal, fully resolving their activation before selecting and activating the next.
- Each fighter activates individually; groups do not activate simultaneously.
- Additional fighters with this special rule activated in this way may not themselves use this special rule during this activation.
Skills: When recruited, an Arch-Heretek may choose one skill from their Primary skill sets (as described in the Necromunda Rulebook). This skill does not cost any XP and does not increase the fighter's credit value.

Heretek Cabal Exclusive Items
Mechadendrite
Cost: 10 Credits
Mechadendrites are typically designed for maintenance and manipulation, but many Hereteks refit them with compact weapon systems. These crude emitters lack stopping power, but make up for it through sheer volume, striking from multiple angles as the appendages act with unsettling independence.
| Weapon | Rg S | Rg L | Ac S | Ac L | S | AP | D | Am | Traits | Rarity | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechadendrite | 4" | 8" | +1 | – | 2 | – | 1 | 3+ | Plentiful, Powerpack, Sidearm, Mechadendrite, Servo Targeting (4+) | C | 10 |
Mechadendrite (Trait): When making a Shoot (Basic) action, a fighter may fire up to 2 weapons with this trait in addition to any other weapons they are firing.
All Mechadendrite attacks must target the same fighter unless the fighter has the Gunfighter skill.
