Arthromite Herder
Arthromite Herders are members of Necromunda's Ash Waste Nomads, who can train massive insects known as Arthromite Duneskuttlers to do their bidding.[1]
Description
A Duneskuttler under the sway of a Herder, will often accompany their master and can be sent charging towards foes with little more than a gesture of the Herder's Hunters Polearm. While the target of the Duneskuttler's attack is helpless, the Herder will then join in as well. Because of their abilities, Herders and their Duneskuttlers can also be hired to join the Ash Waste Nomads' raiding parties, where the insects are used as shock troops. Once the fighting is done, the Herders are skilled enough to heal any damage the Duneskuttler may have suffered. Though they are named Arthromite Herders, due to the Duneskuttler being the most common insect under their command, there are rumors of even larger and more terrible beasts the Herders can control. This appears to be true, as Herders will often travel deep into the Ash Wastes and return with horrors seldom seen in civilized lands.[1]
