Necromunda
Venators
A Necromunda audio anthology
In the nightmare depths of Necromunda’s underhive, a trio of bounty hunters face challenges and trials as they try to scrape a living by bringing the guilty to justice.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Bounty hunters are among the most fascinating characters from Necromunda, and in this collection you'll encounter three, each with their own quirks, peculiarities and deadly skills.
DESCRIPTION
In the lower reaches of Necromunda's Hive Primus, countless hired guns and bounty hunters seek to make their fortune by using their deadly skills to bring in criminals, outlaws and those unlucky souls who've fallen foul of the Guilders. Each of these rogues and killers is different, with particular skills that put them on their path. Neither heroes nor villains, they live in the grey areas – and in these three audio dramas, a trio of bounty hunters have their tales told.
CONTENTS
The Deserter by Justin D Hill
A chance encounter with a stranger known only as ‘The Deserter’ might be just what Corenne needs as she struggles to survive in Necromunda’s underhive.
Expectatio by Matt Keefe
When he claims a rare artefact in place of an unpaid fee, underhive bounty hunter Baertrum Arturos is set on a quest that could make his fortune – if he survives it.
Half-Horn by Josh Reynolds
Three underhive fugitives shelter around a fire in the midst of a storm. They must be safe here, for the only one who could track them is Gor Half-horn. And he’s a myth, isn't he?
Total running time 71 minutes. Performed by John Banks, Steve Conlin, Matthew Hunt, Toby Longworth, Carla Medonca, Gesella Ohaka, Richard Reed, Andrew Wincott & Jo Woodcock

A mostly enjoyable listen. In this are 3 different stories
The Deserter (Justin D Hill)
I think this was the most enjoyable, though I don't usually like stories by this author. Just a nice solid listen
Expectatio by Matt Keefe
The worst of the three. I was completely lost listening to this one, found it hard to follow and didn't really understand what happened throughout
Half-Horn by Josh Reynolds
A pretty enjoyable one, took a different direction to what I was expecting. Sound/voice effects could've been better, but overall a good listen

Three great though only loosely-linked short audio dramas, showcasing some lovely new bounty hunters in time for their models being released...
Tonally, these three completely nail Necromunda- grim, desperate and peppered with black humour. We see the horrors of being press-ganged into the Astra Militarum, the brutality of life on the wrong side of the law in the Underhive and how everything and everyone there has a price. The Deserter and Half-Horn are probably the stronger two stories and fittingly the bleakest too. That’s not to say they’re unenjoyable, the nuggets of lore that dot the former and the gleeful reveal of the titular Venator in the latter make for fun listening.
