House Escher’s Matriarch Primus, Adina, is obviously a target for all would-be assassins to try and take the house down. But to get to Adina, they must first get through the Matriarch’s Blade, her bodyguard. Get a look at this new figure coming to Necromunda in this preview.
From the article:
Necromunda is gearing up for its biggest upheaval in millennia, as the Aranthian Succession rages in the wake of the opening of the Great Rift. Major movers and shakers are going all in on powerplays that could reshape the planet itself – and as Adina, the Matriarch Primus of House Escher, bids for influence over squabbling nobles, her gene-sister Athera stands ready to brutalise those who’d do the young Matriarch harm.
The Matriarch’s Blade has been at Adina’s side since her ascension to the Council of Crones. Known across Necromunda as a deadly fighter with her master-crafted chainaxe, Athera often acts as her sister’s proxy in matters of honour, allowing her to single out an enemy ganger with a challenge – and gain bonuses while they occupy her full attention.
Wherever Athera goes, her Caryatid companion Stix is never far behind. These strange winged creatures are said to sense ill fortune – a trait especially valued by the Escher – and their forewarnings are prized in the ever-dangerous underhive.
