Athera, Blade of the Matriarch – Escher House Agent

Athera, Blade of the Matriarch – Escher House Agent — Price Summary

Product Description

Athera is the bodyguard, champion, and gene-sister of House Escher's Matriarch Primus, known and feared across Necromunda as the Matriarch's Blade. The two share a special bond as clone children of Queen Vhoadycia, and Athera is often dispatched to act as Adina's proxy in matters of honour. More than one opponent has openly backed down from a dispute upon seeing Athera step from the shadows, casually balancing her chainaxe on her shoulder as she tells her companion Stix all the ways she plans to deal with them. This diminutive pet is a Caryatid – a winged psychic creature whose kind infests the underhive. It latched onto Athera in the depths of Hive Primus, near the chem river for which she named it, and has brought her good fortune ever since. This multipart resin kit builds Athera, the feared Matriarch's Blade – and her Caryatid companion Stix. This exceptionally-skilled Escher House Agent wears a luxurious high-collared coat over carapace armour decorated with spikes and feathers, her braided hair flowing in the wind. She hefts a master-crafted chainaxe in one hand, issuing a challenge to her foes, while gripping an elegant plasma pistol in the other. Stix sits in a cross-legged sulk, adorned with robes and bangles to suit a prized pet, its membranous wings and childlike body marked by the swirling tattoo-patterns characteristic of Caryatids. This highly detailed kit comprises 13 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Necromunda Base and a Citadel 25mm Necromunda Base. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints. This pack includes Fighter reference cards for Athera and Stix, as well as the special rules for both characters. Their full rules can also be found in The Aranthian Succession: Cinderak Burning supplement.
