Necromunda: Squats Get An Awesome Vartijan Exo-Driller
The Squat Prospector Gang isn’t the only thing coming to Necromunda. There’s a new Exo-Driller suit gearing up to storm the spire!
When it was revealed that the Squats were still around and mining for materials on Necromunda we were already stoked. Now we learn that the Squats are also getting a badass Exo-suit, too! The Vartijan Exo-Driller is a call back to a previous era. Check this thing out.
These suits of rugged exo-armour were originally designed to protect Squat miners in the most hostile environments – and the ash wastes definitely qualify. They’ve been upgraded over the centuries with heavier weapons and better defences, and Prospector gangs now bring them along to fight off Ash Waste Nomads or other hostiles trying to claim the prime dig sites out in the Necromundan badlands.
Vartijan Exo-Driller
The Vartijan Exo-Driller is named after Valya Vartijan who is a legendary Squat engineer. She created this suit and designed it to be modular — or at least the weapons on it. The Exo-Driller comes with a “piston-powered pulverising fist and seismic crusher” as well as either a heavy bolter or “Squat-made heavy flamer.” What’s the difference between a Squat-made heavy flamer and an Imperial one? I’m guessing the Squat version runs on something higher proof than Promethium.
Ruleswise, you’ll be able to add this amazing model to your Ironhead Squat Prospectors. It’s a gang exclusive, unsurprisingly. The actual rules will be found in the upcoming Book of the Outlands.
This book was already on my list to buy because of the vehicle rules. And now I want it even more!
