I think maybe fixing the Cadian Command Squad respirator piece to the face mask will do it wonders. Not really a great solution though.

Oh but guys! That's just what Enforcers look like now.

You need to accept it.








*waits*

Always remember the alternative head sources: Anvil Industry, Puppetswar and Mad Robot all have heads that look great. Puppetswar in particular for those who want more of a Judge Dredd feel.

I don't hate them overall, I just hate the helmets. Like a lot. However considering all bar one head use them, I'm optimistic the inevitable FW head upgrades will include different styles, ideally the old 'riot' style..

It's what one house's enforcers look like.

Enforcers can look like anything at all.

When will GW stop releasing inquisitorial storm trooper kits, this is getting out of hand!

Any pics of them next to existing gangs yet? Looking at then I just can stop thinking that they look up-scaled compared to the current gangs. I really don’t want primaris scaled models for necromunda.

Nothing about them has suggested they're bigger.

The look is slightly thrown by the bigger chestplates and the vambraces going past the elbow.
It's highlighted really well in this photo:

Spoiler:

Maybe that is it. But also the way they almost don’t fit in the base.

But that is true of a lot of GW minis, and mostly dependent on the pose of the legs. I can think of several GSC models that hit the edge of a 25mm in the exact same way.

The helmets are the only real departure from the old Enforcers. It’s a pretty minimal retcon compared to some of the original gangs. The helmets definitely have a big influence on their appearance but heads are also the easiest thing to replace from your bits box or third party companies.

I like them quite a bit as a Newcromunda kit, but it also looks like a really versatile kit. I could see myself using them for multiple projects.

I does seem light on variant loadouts though.

Seems a pretty big departure to me. Full body Carapace armor to a body glove with just greaves, vambraces and breastplace. And that doesn't even touch the stylistic differences in the remaining armor, or what the extra cloth does to the entire look, particularly at the waist.

I actually like the new aesthetic a lot more (in this case) but Newcromunda seemingly auto-generates 'but they aren't that different' posts that are just incorrect and puzzling.

I love them, I hope they have rules to be able to use them as a player without breaking the game.

If not, I'll keep playing with my Death Skull Goliaths and use them as Tempestus Scions for 40k.

If anyone else has bought a digital copy of Book of Perils from Warhammer Digital, have you been able to download it yet?

Just bought a copy, but only getting a 404 message whenever I try to download... and their customer sevice doesn't work on Saturdays, apparently (which is ridiculous, seeing as it is their own release day, when they will likely most be needed. *sigh*)

Picked up Book of Peril today...

Liking the rules for Guild Alliances although not sure about the randomness as to whether their representatives deign to join any given battle (although some missions will see them join automatically).

Also, it's sometimes not clear how many bodyguards a Guild brings. The wording on the Promethium Guild suggests it could be either 1 or 2.

Good old GW typos

You call those banana clip things on Eldar shuriken catapults... Real shuriken catapults have disc magazines and are very short for boarding actions--because all Eldar were pirates. Stupid Aspect warrior retcon.

That good enough for you?

I love those Enforcers. Sorry Van Saar, I think we should see other people.

I wonder if they will have robo-dogs to sic on people?

I'm sure it'll be a resin addition added some time in the next two to five years through FW.

Several robot dog options out there and orlocks can get cyber mastiffs already. Go for it

Chortle...

Indeed, how long until they release models in support of the Merchant Guilds and new Bounty Hunters. I'm guessing we do conversions for the former and while the latter arrive in dribs and drabs.

I certainly hope so. Converting is a good part of the fun for me

My, those are... yellow. I mean, really YELLOW. Love the worn paint on the kneepads, though.

Colour aside the sniper arm is deeply odd. Overall - they look good. They look uniform, as well, which fits cops! Something in a more restrained colour scheme would probably look very good.

I thought Enforcers had gone full "House Helmawar" in N17? I mean, individual houses will have enforcers but I though in general those were what we used to consider gangs, who've gone (back) to being house militia.

Are we looking at the same models? They have rounded half-carapace torso armour over a guard tunic, football player style shoulder pads instead of pseudo space marine ones and the greaves look nothing alike. They have a (very) vague thematic similarity, but that's about it.

I hope these work...

I was considering the black/red color scheme. Keeping the helmets, and painting the lenses white then glazing with guilliman blue. For me it's either that or going with the yellow, but again changing the lenses cause the yellow on yellow is a bit much.

Hopefully these aren't accompanied by another 35 dollar book. I'd rather they did a spike magazine pamphlet thing that costs 12-14 bucks and is focused entirely on just their rules and lore. If they keep pumping out books like perils of the underhive the book-keeping will be insane before you know it.

I wanna see some with black and fuscia.

Squinting at them I would say you get 4 drum mags bolter/shotguns/whatever those are, 3 revolvers arm sets and then the regular shotgun, the hero shotgun and the sniper rifle (per sprue, so double that in a box). Not a great selection of weapons but perfectly adequate. What IG player doesn't have a few dozen grenade launchers in his bitz box?

As much as I love the new Enforcers, this did make me laugh because of how much it works:

Well, the average underhive dweller would have no real concept of a Space Marine, but Lord Helmwar and his cronies certainly do.

But there is a Space Marine chapter that has Necromunda as a recruiting world. The Imperial Fists, who have intervened into planetary matters before.

So Helmwar making the decision to pattern his own private army of goons after the appearance of the Imperial Fists makes alot of sense.

I just wish we still had the 6th Edition guard codex, as they would make excellent shotgun armed carapace veterans.

They certainly see space marine every now and then through propaganda posters. Like this one, show a Custode.

Yup, thought so. Just dumping the pseudoPrimaris masks and using a more muted colourscheme is already a big improvement. Ugh, converting that many heads is going to be a huge pain in the arse.

EDIT: And at least speaking for myself, the reason the pseudoPrimaris masks are annoying is I thought Necromunda was still set in 40K, and we'd be allowed to avoid all the Cawly Sue/Imperium Totes Still Grimdarkicus Honest stuff.
