Gangs of Renown
Gangs of Renown represent famous/infamous gangs in the the underhive that are led by a Dramatis Personae
This variant gives the opportunity to run one of the many colourful characters available in Necromunda as your gang leader/champion. The cost is that they are more limited in how they can be equipped.
Otherwise, Gangs of Renown follow all the same rules and have the same favour table as a House Gang
Dramatis Personae
Gangs of Renown may hire one dramatis personae at gang creation instead of a gang leader or champion. If leader is selected, no other leader may be hired as per usual.
Dramatis Personae cost the same as their profile lists and come with their equipment and special rules. They also come with any exotic pets/familiars. No other equipment may be given at gang creation.
Promotion
Dramatis Personae gain Group Activation (2) if they replace your leader, otherwise they gain Group Activation (1). They also get the equivalent Leading by Example.
Dramatis Personae do not get Tools of the Trade.
They lose all rules related to being a bounty hunter/house agent.
Signature Equipment
Dramatis Personae may never remove any equipment/weapons they come with by default.
Fixed Loadout
Some dramatis personae may either have their loadout affixed to their person or lack appendages altogether.
Dramatis Personae marked with * may not equip any additional weapons or wargear.
Skills
Dramatis Personae inherit the skills of either the leader profile or champion profile depending on who they replace in the gang. You may choose the regular or special champion skill set.
Who Can I Hire?
The tables on the following pages show which Dramatis Personae Gangs of Renown may hire, and the associated cost. Obviously, you must be a Cawdor Gang to hire Cawdor Dramatis Personae etc.
House Agents have been given a cost as well - this is very likely to change over time as it’s hard to get a ‘fair’ valuation for them.
If you think there’s a bounty hunter/agent that should be hireable and isn’t, contact an arbitrator with the supporting lore.
