The Ironhead Squat Prospectors are hardy folk, obdurately venturing out of their mountain fastnesses to comb the deep wastes for the treasures of times past, mining through refuse, rock, and hard-baked slurry to find old tech and raw materials to fuel their endless cycle of industry.
But the ash wastes are a desolate place, and the loot they seek is not easy to prise from a hostile planet. It requires thick protective suits, grit, and heavy-duty cutting equipment – and those hardy souls who ply their trades far out from the protective cocoon of civilisation must also be willing to fight to protect their prizes.
Fortunately, a lot of the prospecting equipment of the 41st Millennium doubles up rather well as a weapon, as we can see with the forthcoming Squat Champion with a mining laser. This Strength 9 weapon can slice through pretty much anything the outlands can throw at you, and even his suit-mounted circular stone-saw works nicely in hand-to-hand combat, while his Photo-lumen maintains visual range even in the darkest reaches of the deep wastes.
He’ll be a valued addition to any gang of Ironhead Squat Prospectors, perhaps hopping off a Skalvian Explorator to jab his big old laser right into the guts of any opposing ganger foolish enough to get in his way.
The Squat Champion is cast in Forge World Resin will be available to pre-order soon.
