Games Workshop and Forge World have been showing off some new dramatis personae for use with Necromunda! This pair of "heroes" really like blowing stuff up and stabbing people in the grimdark Underhives of the far future.

The first of the miniatures is Rex Spires. He really, really likes explosives and that is rather revealed in the variety of bionics he is now clad in. A really big bang is exactly what he's after that he is very, very adept at putting together just the right cocktail to help during your missions in the Underhive.

He can use Frag Traps, Melta Traps, Blasting Charges, Demo Charges and more and of course, comes with the Demolitions rule. This means he can set up three booby traps around the board at the start of the game and then smirk as everything explodes into a million little pieces. A great idea for a character and a fun miniature to represent him!

The next of the characters coming your way is Estus Jet.

Estus Jet // Necromunda

This mysterious orphan was named for the letters that were still readable on her collar when she was taken by the Dust Falls Deep 9 Orphanarium. Have a read of this "_EST _ SU_JE_T" and try and work it out. I would assume something quirky is going on with her!

Estus now works as a gunrunner for Gideon Scav and uses her toxin-laced blades to kill anyone who tries to cut her out of a deal. I really like the stance of the miniature, as if she's in the midst of the action and ready to take someone down from afar and up close and personal.

As I've said elsewhere, the miniatures for Necromunda are pretty darn awesome and it's great to see how many different characters Forge World has brought to life to support the plastic kits from Games Workshop. Even if you don't play Necromunda, these miniatures would be great for the likes of Planet 28, Stargrave and beyond.

Could you be tempted to pick up these two new characters for Necromunda?
