Those certainly are nice indeed. Very.

Fantastic models, will slot right into my imperial army.

Female Judge Dredd?

No. As already shown, it's this helmet.

To be fair Judge Dredd was my first thought too. The gas mask especially looks like a certain chin.

Yeah, it's obviously a Judge Dredd homage/revision. The shape of the red chevron is unmistakable (and absent from the old artwork). The skull is resized to the proportion of the crest on J.D.'s helmet. The lower edges of the helmet appear to be much less flared than the art.

Is there a reason for that new miniature to have "Krieg" in his name if he doesn't have any relevance to the regiment (although, some parts of his uniform do seem slightly similar to that of the DKoK general)? Obviously names and such get taken from various real-world sources, but it seems a little odd that they'd choose that when it's already used for the DKoK.

It's the German word for war and German names/words are often used as a shorthand for 'nobility' in 40k.

I think they've just gone for Germanic sounding names / titles - House Greim, Krieg Mester & Jagerkin.

Both of the new models would also be excellent for use in the Wrath and Glory RPG.

Love these, think I’ll paint them with my Elucidian Starstriders, they’ll fit right at home there.

Late to the party, but …

That chap’s leg ends in what’s called a ball-and-claw foot. Very popular on 18th century furniture

Krieg Mester translates as War Master (German/Hungarian) and he's a military advisor.

It's so clever. It's deep, man.

Like Inquisitor Lady Dragon who is a lady with a dragon. Gettit!?

Yeah but you'd think GW would be more careful with branding. If they had a guy with a blue cape they wouldn't call him Lord Ultramarine (after his cape) lest people be confused with the Ultramarines who are super duper marines that are also painted ultramarine.

Lots of words for war in the world, what's wrong with maître de guerre? or bellum dominum?

Oh and anyone wants a skull count:




I get 6 so far and we've not even seen the sides or back.



Eleven (!!) assuming both sets of spats have the same number of skulls. And who knows what the back has!

Krieg Mester isn't a German word. A word-for-word translation of War Master/Warmaster would be Kriegsmeister, but this word isn't used.

It's German enough for GW, like all their Latin is close enough. It is 38,000 years in the future, so a little bit of language drift should be accounted for

12! Shoulder pad spider head is totes a skull. 13! gun strap buckle.

14. You forgot the one inside her head. Which is probably also made of brass, given those scars.

14. Gun strap connection point.

Also, given the level of wealth these two appear to be operating at, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that if you zoomed in enough, every rivet head would resolve into yet another tiny skull.

Sure. And it's something GW made since decades, so I don't understand Damocles rather snarky comment. There was a Commissar Krieglust in 1st edition (correct would be Kriegslust). Later GW Germany translated his name into Kommissar Warlik (you know, warlike...) .

Hell, laque is also French for hairspray, so House De Laque/Delaque could be roughly translated into House of hair spray (though I'm not sure if this is intentional).

That's ironic

Reminds me of the headmaster of The Umbrella Academy.

Stig shambler!

Brilliant, but I bet it's FW, so it's gonna be double taxed and all that brexit shenenigans.

Some say he doubles up as a Mad Max reference and does the fastest piggyback in the underhive... all we know is he's called the Stig shambler

It took them how many years to make models of Brutes for a total of 2 gangs again?

Looks good.

'Bout fething time, too.

Now release the damned Arachni-Rig!

That new Cawdor monstrosity is to die for! Absolutely brilliant

I hope the brute has a second head option. Nothing wrong with the current one, but I preferred the artwork. (Scarecrows for the win; and it matches that bounty hunter)

At first I thought it had weapons replacing its hands, but then realised they were War Crutches! Excellent!

With that Cawdor beast being released, there are a surprising number of Max Max characters that you can make pretty easily from necromunda.

Mad'donna = Tina Turner
Cawdor thing = Master & Blaster
Goliath ganger = Humungus
Goliath ganger = Immortan Joe
Kal = Max Rockatansky
Scabs = bush pilot
