He’s not quite an Arbites but might be the only just lawman left in Necromunda; check out the new Ashwood Stranger miniature!
We recently saw the Sanctioner Pattern Automata for the lawmen, but now the enforcers get another companion. If you’ve been needing to keep the Underhive clean (well, of criminals, at least), GW is releasing plenty of minis for it! Even though he’s an outcast, and not really a part of the Enforcers, he’s still hunting criminals.
Like most of the character models for Necromunda, he will be from Forge World and in resin. Just something to keep in mind.
New Ashwood Stranger Brings Justice to Necromunda!
The new model comes from this Warhammer Community post.
Necromunda is a world of unrighted wrongs and lost causes, a world of corruption and abuse where the powerless have no recourse. Yet a lone legend wanders between hives, a ragged gunfighter who walks in justice – Ashwood Stranger. Where did Ashwood come from? What is he looking for? It remains a mystery. Some reckon the Stranger was once an Enforcer, and his custom ‘equalizer’ stub pistol certainly has the hallmarks of Palanite manufacture. Then there’s his habit of bringing down rogue Enforcers, when even the Merchant Guild won’t put up a bounty. Not that all Enforcers are his enemies – from time to time, the more virtuous among them will even throw in with the Stranger, if their goals align.
The model is really cool, and who doesn’t love a crazy vigilante bringing rogue Enforcers to justice?
Whatever his origins, Ashwood is a force for justice – unlike most of the loners and exiles in the underhive. The nomad blade he wears on his back hints at his long travels between the hive cities, settling debts and standing up for the powerless. With Gunfighter, Hip Shooting, and Fast Shot, Ashwood Stranger is a dual-wielding gunslinger par excellence, dispensing justice at the barrels of two custom pistols. Take him as an Outcast leader at the head of a vigilante gang, or hire him as a Bounty Hunter – but only if your heart is true.
If you need some extra power in your gang, you can hire him out, just be sure not to make any mistakes while he’s around, or you might end up in the gutter with your enemies!
