Justice is a rather shaky thing in the world of Necromunda. Ashwood Stranger is a gunfighter who walks in justice, wandering the underhive.
The armor and stub pistol would hint that Ashwood is a former Enforcer but his exact origin is unknown. No matter, he’s a force for justice.
Ashwood features Gunfighter, Hip Shooting, and Fast Shot using his two custom pistols. Take him as an Outcast leader at the head of a vigilante gang or hire him as a Bounty Hunter.
The resin figure comes with a fighter card and details can be found in the Book of Outcast.
