Two new Necromunda Dramatis Personae have been revealed, including Rex Spires and Estus Jet- check it out!
Getting some named characters in your gang will always be fun, and they will add a serious punch to your fighting skills. They say these will be cast in resin and from Forge World but don’t give us an exact release date yet.
Rex Spires and Estus Jet Necromunda Dramatis Personae Miniatures
Warhammer Community unveiled the new minis along with a few rules; let’s take a closer look!
Rex’s high-octane career started in the scrapheaps – a light-fingered lout who would steal anything to escape his indentured servitude… until BOOM! He had an epiphany.
As a nearby manufactorum exploded and collapsed part of the dome he called home, he was freed. So now Rex Spires is all about spreading the good word of his lord and saviour – a really big bang.
This model is actually really cool and will make for an interesting character in any game system. If you have something you need to destroy in the underhive, then this is the guy you need in your gang!
His sermons are booby traps, and his message is high-explosive death – he has access to Frag Traps, Melta Traps, Blasting Charges, Demo Charges, and his Demolitions rule, lets him set up to three booby traps during the pre-battle sequence. All for this hard learned knowledge, however, cost him an arm (well both of them actually) and a leg!
Setting up three traps should make the enemy pause for a second, but if they go headlong, they might end up like Rex, without a few limbs!
Rex is joined by Estus Jet, a mysterious orphan named for the letters still legible on the collar she was wearing when Esmeralda, Holdmother of the Dust Falls Deep 9 Orphanarium, discovered her. Those letters? _EST _ SU_JE_T
She now works as a gunrunner for Gideon Scav, with ample time to practise her favourite pastime – using her toxin-laced blades to take down idiots who try to rip her off.
She is the person to call if you need more arms and ammunition for your gang. Her poison blades also make her pretty deadly on the battlefield, so double the fun!
Will you be picking the minis up? Do you mind them coming from Forge World?
