Orlock rules preview details explosives protection and quad upgrades
NewsMythscribe28 October 2026

A new rules preview expands on the previously announced gang variants, including friendly-blast protection and customisable quad equipment.

Games Workshop’s October 26 rules preview adds detail to the previously announced Underhive Journal: Orlock – The House of Iron. Wrecking Crew fighters gain a 5+ invulnerable save against hits from friendly Blast weapons, while mounted Outriders receive +1 to their Cool characteristic. Outrider gangs can use a

post-cycle action to add or remove vehicle upgrades. Options include smoke launchers, a gun harness and scythed wheels; the latter adds an attack when its rider charges. Wrecking Crew leaders instead combine explosives with jump boosters. The preview also details Legendary Names, including Bigman, which doubles the

usual Group Activation range to six inches but reduces the benefit of cover. The journal enters preorder on Saturday, October 31. Games Workshop says Gangs of the Underhive is required to use it fully. Source: Official announcement or publisher listing. Image credit: Games Workshop / Warhammer Community.
