The Ironhead Squat Prospectors Exo-kyn are based on the void suits used long ago by their ancestors, and now employed to hunt treasure in the Necromundan ash wastes. They mine in the depths, far below the sump sea, and they’re quite happy to turn this equipment against anyone who attempts to steal their finds. This set of four Exo-kyn comes with two Techmite Exovator 078b automata, which help them survey for materials and fend off aggressors.

A classic gets updated with the Ironhead Squat Svenotar Scout Trikes.
