How many Gangs?

[masterofthemultiverses]

Are there only Goliaths, Eschers and Orlocks in the game or have Van Saars, Cawdors and Delaques made it into the game as well? Are there factions like Ratskins and Scavvies?

[CHOO CHOO]

Goliaths and Eschers are encountered as opponents; Orlocks too I think. Van Saars and Delaques are at least mentioned as clients. But I only know their names from the game, no idea what any of that means in lore-terms.

Lots of houses and gangs just get lip service. There's just those three in game.

Many people are confusing "Houses" with "Gangs", there's thousands of gangs in the underhive; but there are six major Houses that enable those gangs. For instance the guy we rescue from the train is Brickjaw, leader of a Goliath gang called The Steel Krocs.
I don't think Delaque, Van Saar, or Cawdor appear in game; though they do mention the Van Saar. Feels like a wasted oppertunity for a game so focused on covering all the angles.

Imagine fighting Cawdor gangers, and suddenly you have to deal with a wave of giant explosive rats...

Corpse Grinders and Palatine Enforcers also don't appear in-game.

Would be nice to get DLC which include some of the other gangs, or the Palatine Enforcers tracking us down after the ending of the game. Or even squat and beastmen bounty hunters (as those do exist in Necromunda)

Yeah but there are non-House gangs. My hopeful ass actually thought I was gonna see a chaos cult or redemptionists or even a damn genestealer cult when I saw all the "factions".

Yeah. I hope it gets some more content after they fix the bugs. A bigger necromunda game would be great.
