Necromunda Outcast gang questions

[Marriott721]

Hi all, sorry if these have been answered before but I'm really struggling to find actual answers to questions I have regarding Outcasts and Necromunda as a whole.

I'm a new player trying to figure out what I need to actually make an Outcast gang the way I want to. I have 2 ideas so far, a Goliath house affiliate gang and Water Guild affiliate gang.

I know I'll need the core rulebook 2023 and the Book of the Outcast but would I also need the House of chains to know exactly what everyone can take equipment list wise or will I have enough information from these 2 books? And would I need anything else if I went either Guild,noble house or criminal as a clanless i.e extra books contains information for these?

I also know you can take a Dramatis Personae as your leader which is pretty cool but where do I find these? Are they scattered throughout different books?

Thanks for any help.

there are other sources for the rules.
that source also states in what book you can find the original entry

the books contain lore and artwork. You'd need book of outcasts, house of blades (water guild), house of chains (goliath)
guild, noble houses, etc... rules are spread all over the place... so you'd need to track specific book

(in reply to the mundamanager discord chat)

the main way to create an outcast gang is to pick the generic leader with a archetype and an affiliation (clan house goliath).
this creates a 'generic' outcast gang with acces to house goliath weapons and exotic beasts. This affiliation also affects possible alliances and campaign interactions.

separate from this you can pick any model (ao: dramatis personae) as a gangleader;
You'll need to pick the affiliation separately. You can choose to make this a Goliath house affiliation but it's not mandatory.

it's also mentionned under 'gang leader' on that source I sent you

Thanks a lot mate, I did think that was the case it only got confusing for me with delegations being separate to the gang leaders house (if you choose a non generic leader) but I'm getting my head around that now.

The Mundamanager does seem to be missing Archetype though as I can't find that for my Leader options and the affiliation makes sense to just use unrestricted gear so I'm getting the hang of it more now
