Thought something similar, but its mainly the cleanliness of the paintjob that makes them seem out of place. A dirtier/gritter paintjob would do them wonders.
The helmets are the only thing I don't care for. I'm sure FW has a facemask-less kit in the works, if it doesn't come on the sprue already.

Like how they’ve got a few influences from some of the gangs. Such as Orlock style weapons and van saar style armour along with the imperial guard smocks
I like the top heavy armour. I imagine that in the Underhive, waist high Cover is relatively easy to come by. So leaving the legs relatively unencumbered makes decent sense.
Weapons look a wee bit samey, but hoping there’s additional Shotguns on the sprue. Love a good shotgun, me.

Was shown just after the teaser video for Enforcers, but clearly not them.
Unless it’s their back armour?

They are nice models, but don't they look a little too...sci-fi? I mean, shouldn't they be wearing Judge Dredd helmets instead of generic Power Armor helmet #332?
I found what appear to be the old version of Enforcers
These guys have the better style of helmet, imo. Looks like a cross between Judge Dredd and a medieval helm, and that's totally 40k.
The new ones...not so much.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Ahh, those are Adeptus Arbites. A department of the Adeptus Terra, charged with oversight of Imperial Policing. Enforcers are more Lord Helmawr’s personal thugs. It’s likely their higher ups will have some contact with the Arbites though.
The is how it is on most planets. Adeptus Arbites will have a precinct on Necromunda, likely one in each of at least the major hives. But they likely don’t get involved in day-to-day kneecapping, so much as ensuring those doing the day-to-day kneecapping are keeping their standards up.

Ah really? Google search kept telling me they were Enforcers. I guess what GW did is fine then. As long as they don't "modernize" proper Arbites it should be fine. Hopefully this means that we'll have Arbites models in the future, and GW designed the Enforcers like this to differentiate them.

Yeah, the stuff in the Underhive is way below the pay grade of an Arbite.
Anyway, yes, these are the new Enforcers. They look great (aside from the bright yellow). Interesting look of the weapons (took me a while to realise that was a Bolter). Would've liked to have seen a Heavy Stubber, but I guess we'll see.
Is the guy holding the flashlight under his pistol armed with a Hand Cannon? That looks like a bigger pistol than the others. And I wonder what the leader is armed with. It's some kind of energy gun.

I thought it was a flamer at first, but then I noticed it doesn't have a fuel tank. Maybe its some sort of taser gun? It does have a taser looking thing on the muzzle.

Starting to wonder if these are less about taking alive, and more slapping down more numerous Gangs, to help ensure the current social order is maintained?

I like them. they'll go great as an Inquisition platoon of cannon fodder.
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Google probably doesn't play 40k. I reckon these were made to be used as Enforcers in old Necromunda and labeled as such for the picture and whatever description Google uses. The helmeted models are all unaltered Arbites from the early 90s. I used to play a terribly painted squad in my Traitor Guard when Veterans had carapace and shotgun option.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?
The new Enforcer models really seem very bland and uninspired to me, compared to the original art and the previous miniatures they don't give off the same sort of feel at all. They especially don't feel like they "capture the classic feel of the Enforcers while modernising them", they look more like Primaris Scouts or something along those lines.

The one without a helmet at the back is an Enforcer though, that's the Forgeworld Event exclusive redesign of them from a few years ago.

Partly the colors, partly the guns. They're smaller (sensibly scaled)and take more realistic cues than we're used to seeing in 40k- it makes them look off. Some of the armor bits too, especially the shoulders.
I'm not 100% sold on them, but they look better to me than most of the Newcromunda gangs. Up there with the Orlocks, rather than the sillier ones.
If they do a unified rulebook at some point, I might think about getting into the game with these.
I get what others are saying, but I think these will stand out in the Underhive as look more Business. Little if any ostentation. Professionals with training and a job to get done.
Practical, rather than showy. I can see them double timing it through a settlement, and your standard spods knowing to get out of the way and find some cover.
