This is one of the many reasons I love necromunda because every hive gang Has its place in a natural ecosystem Of there hive even though they want to destroy each other somewhere down the line they know they need each other And also during my youth I was just getting started on the shadowrun and cyberpunk scene and this what got me into the novel call crossfire about Arbites officer name Shira Calpurnia other necromunda book's

that was a pretty good novel

The House of Artifice, the technological powerhouse of Necromunda. Closely associated with the noble house Catallus A.K.A The House of Masks!

It is such a fascinating song, Necromunda, and Van Saar is probably my favourite among the houses and gangers of the Hive World. If only they weren't locked in a struggle for dominance and could instead further explore the STC to unlock greater mysteries of the old Dark Age of Technology.

@@GrimDarkNarrator Which source book(s) may I ask? Mainly because in all the ones I have or have access too (a buddy of mine is a Necromunda nut from the original days) I have not seen them called a clan or a clan house. I could be wrong, and if I am then I will gladly retract.

@@RvnKnight page 5 Book of judgement and that was just from not wanting to dig out the core rule book. "Likewise, there are those who are not content to merely rob settlements or Guilder caravans without the benefits of a Clan House blessing."

“We have to keep poisoning ourselves to jealousy-hoard the machine secrets.” Deceiving and witholding from the Mechanicus...and those eight clawed arachnid limbs of this group's official sigul looks suspiciously similar to the eight points of Chaos Undivided, hrm hmm...Inquisition notation transmitted. The monochrome cross section image immediately following that of this House's insignia looks as intriguing as any cross section spread, though. From the dregs of organized scavengers to the Brotherhood of Steel. Typically, I have questions that I expect will (only likely?) be answered in forthcoming lore videos. Why the chosen symbol of a skull-headed clawed spider? How was this house's secured STC damaged and how badly? How did they get it? How does the irradiating affect the Van Saar, per se - only they specifically, or within a particular physical radius of the precious artifact? I'm somewhat surprised that this group keeps an “outer circle” from even knowing about the source of its monopoly and leveraged control. Plus, that they're are able to hide the truth of the STC sickness from its own members, however low-ranked. House Van Saar: we're not open to diplomacy, only to tech business - can we hook you up to some cancer? This elitism sure feels much like that of Immortan Joe and his clan in Mad Max: Fury Road. Superficial visual comparisons being suitable. Even the unit models shown after 10:28 have arrogant and elitist appearances. They believe that they prove the lie of the Mechanicus' Omnissiah truth, by having mere untalented manufacturing labourers build STC parts, eh? Well, they may be on to something there. “House of artifice”, I like that nice touch, Narrator. What I dislike most about this bunch is their hidden cancer. Practical yet still fanatical, as they would accuse Mars of being. However, thank you for another introduction to another major subfaction within this subseries, GDN. Until your next visit to Necromunda, have an exceptional and enjoyable rest of your week. The Emperor protects.

I would've just secreted the STC somewhere secret and far, so maybe we DON'T destroy our bodies and those of all future generations in the process, lol.

​@GrimDarkNarrator doesn't work logistically & exposes the secret to everyone... that's why the STC was relocated from Junker Town to Hive Primus as Van Saar was elevated into a Clan House allied directly to the Imperial Governor. The STC has to be at the center of their power base since that's where those who know about & can operate it are... they need access to it & moving it somewhere else means that they would need to go there to access it which would leave them to having their movement tracked. Also if only some of them got the cancer instead of all of them then that would create a noticeable delineation point from which the location could be deduced. The secret already occasionally gets out from third & fourth order information... moving the STC away would expose first & second order information which means it would quickly become common knowledge to everyone (the Imperial House wouldn't be able to help hide the secret anymore cause that information would get off planet at that point & bring the Imperium in.)

Its the scifi gang of Necromunda. They are pretty cool and have cool bits to bash with

As for what I like and don't like about them: I don't like the gang's reliance on technology, mainly because it kinda pulls a David vs Goliath situation on the game table (I tend to play cultists or Cawdor). I do like that the lore actually gives them drawbacks for that reliance though.

Gotta make them balanced.

Technology is not worship but use for good

Wait if they're sealed in their suits how do they "make more Van Saars?" Do they recruit from people not close to the gang, do they have a special slot for "recruitment," or are they vat born?
