Ash Waste Nomads have a strange affinity for the creatures of the wasteland, and few vermin-beasts are as feared as Arthromite Duneskuttlers. Large enough to bite a man’s head off, these predatory insects stalk through ash dunes and city sewers to ambush hapless prey. The only ones who can control such creatures are Arthromite Herders – imposing figures clad in cast-off carapaces, wielding long polearms to fearsome effect. Tamed Duneskuttlers act as shock troops for Nomad raiding bands, charging at the enemy in a hulking flail of mandibles and scythed limbs.
This multipart resin kit builds one Nomad Arthromite Herder and one Arthromite Duneskuttler – a Hanger-on accompanied by a mighty Brute, both exclusive to Ash Waste Nomads gangs. Clad in the mysterious ash cloak and concealing rebreather-facemask of the Ash Waste Nomads, the Arthromite Herder uses a hunter’s polearm crafted from harvested chitin to point out targets for their beast – and force enemies to keep their distance. The Duneskuttler is a nightmarish creature, covered in a thick carapace with six clawed limbs and a set of mandibles that can easily crunch through armour and bone.
