Ironhead Squat Prospectors Vartijan Exo-Driller $45


Exo-armour is among the many tools and machines employed by the Squat Mining Clans of Necromunda – originally designed for protecting Squat miners in adverse environments, these suits have been adapted over the centuries to incorporate heavier weaponry and better defences against Necromunda’s unique environment. The most widely used of these suits is the Vartijan – Charter Masters find the suit’s ability to carry heavy weaponry into difficult-to-reach regions often makes the difference between claiming a dig site or getting driven back by nomad attacks. These days it is not unusual for the heavy stomping of an exo-driller, or the harsh glare of its spotlights, to accompany prospectors into dangerous situations.

This multipart kit builds one Vartijan Exo-Driller, a mechanized Brute for adding some serious punch to Ironhead Squat Prospector gangs. Equipped with a mechanical, five-clawed Vartijan fist with an in-built seismic crusher, this hulking fighter is more than capable of pulping enemy fighters that come too close. It’s also armed with your choice of ranged weapon – a heavy bolter for laying down covering fire, or a heavy flamer for scouring enemies from cover. These weapons can be mounted on either arm, allowing a greater variety of builds if you plan to run more than one Exo-Driller in your gang. The miniature also includes plenty of mechanical details, such as industrial cabling and a power pack laden with mining equipment.

The kit comprises 17 resin components, and is supplied with a Citadel 50mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.

Rules for using the Vartijan Exo-Driller in your games of Necromunda can be found in the Necromunda: Book of the Outlands supplement.

Ka’bandha, Daemon General of Signus $330

Of all the dark legends spawned by the daemonic incursions that harrowed the Imperium during the Age of Darkness, that of Ka’bandha cast the darkest shadow across history. This bat-winged terror, clad in heavy bronze plate and capable of cleaving a dozen men in twain with each swing of its talons and hell-forged weapons, would herald the end for dozens of Imperial worlds, scouring them clean with fire and fury.

Arch-enemy of the IXth Legion, Ka’bandha is one of the most ferocious daemons ever encountered by humanity. Armed with an ornate daemonic axe and whip, he cut a bloody swathe through the sons of Sanguinius. From his hellish visage to his brutal bronze armour and vast wings, Ka’bandha is a paragon of atavistic fury – and a wonderful project for painters who want to create a stunning centrepiece for their Warhammer: The Horus Heresy forces. He can be assembled with a daemonic helm or a bare, snarling head.

Underneath one of his mighty hooves sits a pile of rubble alongside an Astartes corpse, and a ruined Leviathan Dreadnought belonging to the Blood Angels Legion.

Ka’Bandha, Daemon General of Signus, is supplied in 49 resin components, and comes with a Citadel 170mm Oval Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
