After weeks of terrifying the hoi polloi of Necromunda with their impending arrival, the Spyre Hunters are finally available for pre-order tomorrow. We’ve heard all about the different hunting rigs and the strange mechanisms that power them up as their wearer scores kills, but if we’re about to saw off our arms and legs to fit into these things, shouldn’t we know exactly what they do?
Luckily, we’ve managed to source an honest-to-goodness catalogue from the upper spires of Hive Primus, so we can get the low-down on which hunting rig is right for us.
Strength is the mark of a true Helmawr, and nothing puts might in your hands like the Orrus hunting rig. Forget the world of “It’s too hard,” and “My legs hurt,” this is true power – the kind that’s kept the Imperial House at the top of Necromunda for millennia – and there’s nothing you can’t tear from the hands of lesser beings with an Orrus at your back.
Injuries are for plebians, so why even risk them? The Orrus hunting rig is equipped with a state-of-the-art force field projector and layers of pristine, artistically designed armour plating, so you have nothing to fear from the sticks and stones of the Underhell’s rabble. Carpe victorium, blessed son/daughter of Necromunda, and show the commonality why your kind are to be feared.
Most people are born on the ground, live on the ground, and die on the ground, but you’re not most people. You’re the kind of hunter who lives for speed and the thrill of the chase, leaving the vermin where they belong and soaring where only the Emperor can reach you.
Lesser rigs fear the sting of enemy attack, but not the Yeld. Unique chameleonic technology bends light itself around your glorious form, so you can spend all the time in the world lining up a shot at your next prize – safe in the knowledge that none can escape your airborne majesty. Be the harrier, not the harried.
Admit it – you’ve dreamed about beating the xenos menace at their own game, scything through their hide with contemptuous ease, earning the fame that’s rightfully yours with the sing of the razor’s edge. We’re dreamers too, and that’s why we made the Malcadon hunting rig.
Other rigs are made to cut down pathetic malcontents, but Malcadon wearers hunt the most dangerous game – Genestealers. Skill, strength, and style are yours to command, clad in the only hunting rig that makes you a better fighter, a better killer, and a better class of person.
Death is an art form. You are the artist.
Jakara.
When you’re already a superior being, why clothe your perfect form in imperfect armour?
You’re better than this.
You’re Jakara.
Jakara.
Can’t say we know what that last one was on about, but extra Strength and Attacks as you power up your hunting rig segues perfectly into pumping up your Terror Level by culling enemy leadership. These noble killers are about to be unleashed on an unwitting hive near you, so forget about beating them and simply join them when they go up for pre-order tomorrow. It’s the smarter choice.
