Upgrade your Ironhead Squat gang with the new Svenotar Scout Trike; fast, tough, and armed to the teeth—dominate Necromunda’s ash wastes like never before!
After 30 Years, GW Brings Back the Squat Trike for 40k’s Necromunda
When you think of Squats on Necromunda, speed probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind (unless the old trike model is all you have in mind). These stocky, unyielding descendants of ancient miners are built for strength and endurance, not for winning races. But when it comes to traversing the vast, perilous ash wastes, even Squats need to get a move on. That’s where the Svenotar Scout Trike comes into play, turning the typically slow Ironhead Squat Prospectors into mobile powerhouses.
The Svenotar Scout Trike – Mobility Meets Might
The Svenotar Scout Trike is a three-wheeled marvel designed for the hazardous and resource-rich environments of Necromunda. Ironhead Squats have always been adept at survival, equipped with everything from tough armor to heavy weapons. However, this trike brings something new to the table—speed without sacrificing that all-important toughness.
Originating from the mobile land trains the Squats use as their nomadic bases; these vehicles are perfect for quick forays into dangerous territories. You’re not just riding into the ash wastes for sightseeing—these trikes mean business. Whether it’s scanning the landscape for rich ore veins or pursuing rumors of lost archaeotech, the Svenotar delivers on speed and reliability. And when the badlands throw hostile gangs or monstrous creatures in your path, this trike isn’t just built for speed; it’s also packing serious heat.
Necromunda Squat Trike: Weaponry Worth the Wait
The old Squat Trike.
A crucial part of surviving in Necromunda is being well-armed, and the Svenotar Scout Trike doesn’t disappoint. The front-mounted hardpoint can be equipped with an Ironhead autogun, boltgun, or the ever-dangerous meltagun. So, whether you prefer raining down suppressive fire, delivering precision shots, or turning enemy armor into molten slag, this vehicle has you covered.
But it’s not just about the guns. As your gang advances through their campaign, you’ll have plenty of options to tailor your ride. Want extra protection for those rough-and-tumble firefights? Add ablative armor or a crash cage. Feel like your gang’s signature style needs a little edge? Booby-trapped fuel tanks and archaeotech reactors bring that touch of reckless unpredictability to the battlefield. The customization options are there to make your trike truly yours—and to ensure anyone foolish enough to cross your path regrets it.
Techmite Oculi – Eyes in the Sky
Speaking of upgrades, the Svenotar Scout Trike offers something special that’s sure to excite players: a control unit for the Techmite Oculi. Imagine a floating drone scouting ahead, pinpointing enemies, and feeding targeting data back to you while you ride. These little mechanical marvels extend your vision beyond the line of sight, letting you flush out enemies long before they see you coming. It’s like having a personal spotter with high-tech eyes, making sure you get the drop on your foes. And it fits perfectly with the Squat ethos of mastering both technology and survival.
Custom Squat Style
The kit itself provides loads of customization. You’re getting two Scout Trikes with arm and head options to make each rider stand out—because even in the ash wastes, style matters. Maybe your Ironhead Prospectors have a grizzled veteran look or a brash newcomer attitude. Either way, you can craft their appearance to fit their personalities or even create some friendly in-gang rivalries.
The Svenotar Scout Trike is a unique addition to Necromunda that perfectly blends utility and brute force, offering Ironhead Squat gangs a new way to hit hard and hit fast. Whether you’re new to this whole Squat business or a long-time fan, these trikes bring something exciting to the table—three wheels of opportunity in a wasteland of uncertainty.
Final Thoughts on the New Necromunda Squat Trikes
In the ever-dangerous and resource-hungry world of Necromunda, the Ironhead Squats have just revved things up a notch with the Svenotar Scout Trike. Whether you’re blasting through the wastes in search of treasure or mowing down foes who thought they could outrun you, these trikes are a perfect mix of practicality and pure, unfiltered Squat toughness. Loaded with enough firepower to make even Goliaths rethink their life choices and tricked out with tech that keeps you one step ahead, these rides prove that three wheels are definitely better than two—or legs, for that matter.
For those of you new to Necromunda’s chaotic charm, think of this as a perfect excuse to get your feet—or wheels—dirty. And if you’ve been in the game for a while, well, it’s about time those Squats got something fast, right? The Svenotar Scout Trike is here to remind everyone that even the sturdiest miners can hit the road with style, precision, and a few well-placed explosions. Just remember: in the ash wastes, a little extra speed (and firepower) goes a long way.
