There have been some pretty fantastic hairdos over the course of Necromunda’s long history. From the luxuriant pompadour of Baertrum Arturos III* to Kal Jerico’s delicate braids, the grim darkness of this corner of the far future has always been made a little brighter by its fantastic barbering.
But now there’s a new head of hair in town, and this one has more volume than a Goliath karaoke night. Vespa 'Minx' Merdena is the (joint) youngest of Slate Merdena’s dozen children, a wild child with a taste for violence and an eye for style.
Alongside her driver, Big Pete Plainsman (who sports his own magnificent beard), Vespa is the latest of the Dramatis Personae to come to Necromunda – and the first on wheels. Riding a beefed-up Orlock Quad, the two operate out of Cinderak City as guns-for-hire, protecting the Mercator Gelt convoys that radiate out of this great urban hub.
Vespa wields Mischief, a belt-fed rocket launcher which can Rapid Fire frag and krak rockets – suspiciously well-suited to putting a serious dent into the side of any Cargo-8 Ridgehauler she may come across in the wastes. And with a BS of 3+ and the Trick Shot skill, she’s going to be nailing targets much more often than not – unless she gets hair in her eyes.
This tag team of battle-hardened road warriors will be roaring out of the Forge World manufactorum and into the badlands sooner than you know – and there’s still plenty more to come from Necromunda: Ash Wastes, the biggest thing to happen to the game since its modern release.
