I wonder what Palanite Enforcers will end up being? That could get me into Munda.

This really is shaping up quite beautifully!

Might get me a wee glass cabinet or something to keep the various add-on characters in.

eveything looks great, but at the snail pace thye are relasing stuff, I expect to be on my deathbed before when we get all this.

Hopray fo guilder. ALways wanted to have some scenario where you have to pop the mfs

Enforcers in service of the Palatine House, of course. No-one else is allowed to create such an organisation because reasons. They enforce the Will of House Helmawr directly, by guarding important individuals, locations, and shipments, and also by hunting “criminals” such as anyone foolish enough to question their betters. Naturally, the further down-hive and away from the source of their legal authority you get, the meaner they get!

They're the not-Arbites :-)

Hmm, is that an arc-notched base a la Maelstrom's edge I see in the pic?

Doubtful. It looks like a 3D render to me

Or a poorly done greenstuff job, obviously a fake right?

Did anyone by chance get to find out which gang we will be seeing next? I know originally it was said to be Van Saar, but in some Warhammer TV thing Andy Hoare said something along the lines of "don't believe the release schedule you've heard." At least that's what I remember gleaning from reading around. Honestly with the teaser artwork, I'd be happy with any of the three (originally I wasn't sure on Van Saar or Delaque). I do have a feeling it will be Cawdor, if only because they already have art for their "pet."

Nah, can’t you see the pink highlights? It must be ProCreate….

The next gang(s) are genestealer and chaos cultists, next month in WD.
No idea what the next House gang will be, though part of me suspects Cawdor, for reasons.

I was actually hoping we would find out more about that today. If these gangs get released 3-4 months apart and Orlocks go on pre order next week you'd think they would let us know what is next. Maybe they don't want to steal the thunder away from the Orlocks before they are even released.

Also a lot of this stuff is artwork and promises but that doesn't mean it will see the light of day especially the guild stuff. Anyone remember the art for the nurgle blood bowl team? yeah...

It's the plastic gangs that matter most to me, but at least we know those are a guarantee.

Is this all going to be Forgeworld releases, or is there a chance some of this ends up at GW-proper in plastic?

Gangs, yes, maybe some odd characters, rest, not really likely...

Will the enforcers be in plastic?

Is it confirmed that both are in the same issue?

From hereon out, all non-GW images in this thread get put in spoiler tags. Until the thread can show that it won't spam images that are a) off topic and b) too large for the post (and so cause issues on people's devices), you lose the toy.

Previously they had said one in Q1 and one in Q2 so would be good to get confirmation if this has changed (perhaps to make space for the hired guns gang?).

Well the old metal weapon packs only had the basic and pistol holy trinities (Autogun/Lasgun/Shotgun & Stubgun/Autopistol/Laspistol + a few Knives). It was fine, but overall not the most amazing things for variety.

These have a lot more.

and I can buy one and use all of it. I've still got plenty of the wrong lasguns and autopistols in my bits box, 20 years on.

Looks like enforcers will be a long way out. Hope 'Mad Dog' isn't the new Maddonna.

Mad Dog is an Orlock bloke and Mad Donna was a woman, so ... probably not.
Also, if you're waiting for Enforcers to come along because you want Adeptus Arbites knockoffs with shotguns and carapace armour, you'll probably be disappointed. I suspect the look of whichever Hive's Enforcers they do (the background implies, IIRC, that each Hive has their own) will be very different.

Do I want Arbites? Yes. Will I be disappointed by non Arbites enforcers, no way. Everything I have seen looks awsome.

Wait, I thought Enforcers were arbites?

Enforcers are the private security of house Helmwar. Sounds odd until you realise Helmwar pretty much run the entire world, so they make sure the rules of House Helmwar are obeyed in a feudal sense.

Arbites are the enforcers of Imperial law.

Ok, that makes sense.
So Arbites are like the feds, and Enforcers are like the local police?

Pretty much, yes.

I'm pretty chuffed at all the news - lots of models with good character, and the guilds are a pleasant surprise!

Whoa.

For those who don't know the Caryatid were fluff from Confrontation, the never completed predecessor to Necromunda. Basically these little bat winged imps were a native lifeform that would would attach themselves to people of destiny and would show up all over Blanche's concept art. So seeing them in... it's like whoa.

From Garro on fb

Oh my...!

Originally the fluff was that the Arbites were the law but at some point GW decided that a bunch of hive gangers didn't rate Imperial attention.

So during the Specialist Games era of Necromunda GW made a line of Arbites look alikes called Enforcers who took their place. IIRC there was even fluff that the Enforces deliberately dressed like Arbites.

No one minded, everyone loved that and yes, I would run out and but a whole army if any sort of shotgun-totting jack booted thugs came out.

You almost make it sound like it's a bad thing.

But hey, I can certainly see the appeal in them doing everything.

Nah, I like models for everything. It will still be up to us to rewrite the rules so they're functional and balanced anyway

Sad but true.
