Hidden Depths - A Necromunda Story

 I've said in the past that I was planning on revisiting the world of Warhammer 40'000 for more stories and comics, but in this instance I wanted to drill down more into the murky world of Necromunda specifically. 

However, this is not a story of one of the notorious house gangs, but instead of the enigmatic Water Guild and their heavily armoured Subnauticans. 


For Subnautican 117-R, working within the bowels of Hive Primus' deep reservoirs makes it easy to forget about the chaotic, ruthless world around her. However, when an anomalous life-form finds its way into the sector's pipe system, her search for aid clashes with ambitious Escher gangers, fanatical Redemptionists, and even the cut-throat politics of her own guild. However, none of this can contend with the threat that the mysterious creature itself heralds, hidden away within the dark depths below.  

You can read the whole thing here.

Cover art is by the outstanding Mustafa Bekir. A big thanks for this wonderful piece, and if you want to check out more of his work you can find more information here.


Since It's so good, I'm also going to post the unedited version below.
