Charter Master

"Now that's a grudgin!"

Charter Masters are the canny leaders of Necromunda's Ironhead Squat Prospector parties.

Overview

Charter Masters have risen the ranks of their Mining Clan to earn the favour of their ruling Charter Lord. As their name suggests, their names are added to the great Mining Charter of their clan granted long ago by the Imperium. Only the most veteran Squats rise to this level, and a Charter Master is often hundreds of years old and armed with the finest weapons and equipment.

Equipment includes typically a Power Hammer, Power Pick, Power Axe, a goddamn Powerfist and a Stone Burner, making him quite a lethal close-combat specialists. He is also able to wield a unique pattern of Ironhead Boltguns (Which is twin-linked with a drum magazine, although behaves the same like a regular bolter), Hand Flamers, Mining Lasers, Meltaguns, and an Arc Welder. Charter Masters typically wear Imperial Mesh Armour suited for a Squat, because of he does.

Crunch

On Necromunda, Charter Masters are your leaders of the Ironheads and are close-combat specialists. Whilst you can make him a bit shooty by equipping him with a Ironhead Boltgun, the majority of his weapons are suited for close-range bonking. Like all Squats, he only has Move 4” but he has Toughness 4, making him as sturdy as any member from House Goliath. His tankiness does make him survivable when he closes in for the kill, but most often than not, it is best to preserve him as a support unit due to his primary skills being Leadership, Brawn, and Shooting, with his secondary skill being Wisdom of the Ancients which allows him to pick any useful buffs.
