The Ironheads were once Kin who came to Necromunda as part of the clean up crew in M31, in the wake of the Horus Heresy. Apparently, the rebellious sons of the Emperor also made a mess of their room (that being the galaxy), as Necromunda had so much trash and scrap on it, that the Kin were contracted to come clean it up. Well, nine millennia later, the Kin that came to Necromunda have diverged heavily from their League-bound cousins. Going so far as to lose much contact with them, though retaining familial bonds. Kinda like an uncle twice-removed from the family. You’re not really very close or know much about him but you respect him enough to get along, and maybe you agree on a few things, but that's basically it. Going officially by the name "[[Squats|Squats]]", the Ironheads formed a nomadic, mining-based cultured on the hive world, where their massive rig-cities travel the dune wastes looking for junk and scrap to harvest, as well as digging up valuable ores and shooting any longshanks dumb enough to try and take their shit. | The Ironheads were once Kin who came to Necromunda as part of the clean up crew in M31, in the wake of the Horus Heresy.

Squat Prospectors from Necromunda. Basically Deep Rock Galactic, but Necromundan. While they’re miners and resources diggers through and through, like any space dorf, they’re just as willing to use their guns and mining gear to fight off anyone trying to hijack their ore. What little we know comes from this post over on Warcom. While they’re culturally distant cousins with the Leagues of Votann due to settling Necromunda some time in M31, they’re said to get along well.
