House Escher combines speed, precision, deadly toxins, exotic creatures, and unrivalled expertise in the chem trade. Their fighters favor elegant blades and carefully applied poisons over brute force, while Wyld Runners hunt alongside dangerous xenos beasts and Clan Chymists develop increasingly questionable concoctions.

History of House Escher
Explore the history of the House of Blades, from its origins to its current position among the great Clan Houses of Necromunda.
The book provides an overview and timeline of Escher's rise to power alongside stories of notorious gangs and legendary heroines.
House Escher's identity is built around:
- Speed and agility
- Precision attacks
- Bladed weapons
- Poisons and toxins
- Chem-alchemy
- Exotic creatures
- Distinctive Clan culture
This additional background provides plenty of inspiration for developing your own Escher gang and its place within the Underhive.
Call of the Wyld
Take your gang in a more feral direction with new rules for creating Escher Wyld Runner gangs.
These skilled hunters fight alongside their deadly pets, creating a force that emphasizes mobility, exotic creatures, and the wild side of House Escher.
Wyld Runner gangs receive their own special benefits, providing another way to construct and play an Escher force.
Chymist Cults
Put experimental chemistry at the center of your gang with rules for Clan Chymists.
These gangs fight for more than conventional territory. Ingredients, experimental compounds, and opportunities to test questionable new creations can be just as important.
Chymist Cults provide a particularly thematic option for players who want to emphasize House Escher's mastery of chemicals and toxins.
Escher Chem-alchemy
Few gangs understand chemical warfare like House Escher.
Expanded Chem-alchemy rules provide additional ways to incorporate the Clan's expertise into your fighters and campaigns.
Experiment with chemical compounds and use Escher's scientific knowledge to gain an edge over rival gangs.
The results may not always be safe—but safety isn't usually the Underhive's highest priority.
Expanded Escher Rules
The journal provides a substantial selection of additional options for both new and established Escher gangs.
Expanded content includes:
- New fighter rules
- Equipment Lists
- Chem-alchemy
- Finesse skills
- Gang Tactics
- Territories
- Side Jobs
- Variant gang construction
- Exotic pet options
These rules provide additional ways to personalize both the tactical performance and narrative development of your gang.
