Crush heads and drink blood with Vandoth the Fallen

There are many legendary characters throughout the hive cities of Necromunda, from dashing rogues like Kal Jerico to diabolical tyrants like Haera Helmawr, but one name above all others is synonymous with brutal, bloody barbarism. The mighty warrior known as Vandoth the Fallen has haunted the fireside tales of gangers for centuries, and now he emerges to terrorise your tabletop with a new resin miniature.

Vandoth is a mountain of a man rippling with steel-sinewed muscle and skin that can turn aside blades like armour plates. None know where he came from or how he’s lived for so long, and his reputation as a warrior is only eclipsed by the rumours of his thirst for blood. 

Some say that he’s a former bodyguard of House Helmawr turned loose on the underhive, while others claim he’s a creature of Chaos bound in the form of a man – though Vandoth’s savage butchery of the Archenemy’s cults suggest otherwise. Some gangers lucky enough to survive an encounter with him say that Vandoth stoops over his victims and drains their bodies of blood with monstrous fangs, should there be enough left after his ancient oversized boltgun blows them apart.

Whatever his motivations are, Vandoth isn’t telling, and he’s just as likely to side with an Outlaw gang as he is to disappear without warning. Those whose motives align find him both an unstoppable force and immovable object, able to crush men’s heads in his bare hands while absorbing punishment that would drop the hardiest of Goliaths.

Vandoth also grants gangs several benefits as a Bounty Hunter, with both the Claiming Bounties and Dead, Not Alive special rules. This new miniature is cast in Forge World resin, with rules included in the kit as well as The Book of Ruin, and will be up for pre-order later this year.
