Necromunda was rocked by a series of seismic events during the Aranthian Succession crisis, which have irrevocably changed the dynamics of power. Lord Helmawr was left on the brink of death by an assassination attempt, Lady Haera Helmawr offed a dozen of her siblings, the city of Cinderak was set alight in a series of explosive gang battles, and a colossal pilgrimage made its way to the cathedral hive of Temenos.
At the head of this vast congregation was the Prophet of the Redemption, a mysterious preacher immortalised with a brand new miniature.
He emerged from the smouldering ruins of Cinderak City, adding his voice to the crazed choir of madmen and hive preachers that are commonplace on Necromunda, but what set him apart was his macabre banner made from the skeletal remains of a Redemptor Priest. After all, it’s not every day someone climbs out of the ruins with an artefact that grants an aura of unimpeachable divinity.
Such is the overwhelming power of this enigmatic relic that enemies are cowed into inaction by its mere presence, and shots that should have the raving prophet dead to rights are diverted at the last possible moment. His most powerful weapon is no flamer or stub gun, but the absolute fanatical dedication and ardour he inspires in those who follow him.
He is Blessed by the Lost Saint, and as such those who wish to do him harm must pass a willpower test in order to act, and even then they’ll need to surmount a completely unmodifiable 3+ save in order to draw blood – not bad for a man whose primary ablative armour appears to be his unkempt beard.
Blessed by the Lost Saint
The Prophet seems to lead a blessed life; none can act against him, either looking upon him with awe or finding they purposefully miss. If an enemy model wishes to make a Fight (Basic) or Shoot (Basic) action that targets the Prophet, they must make a Willpower check. If the check is failed, they cannot perform the action and their action ends immediately.
In addition, the Prophet has a 3+ save that cannot be modified or ignored by any rule.
The Prophet of The Redemption is an Outlaw Hired Gun you can petition to join your House Cawdor, Crusading gang, or any gang allied to Lady Credo’s Rebellion. Rules for this expert kit made from Forge World resin will be provided in the box, and they are already available in Necromunda: The Aranthian Succession – The Vaults of Temenos.
