Kind of? I think some come on the Plague Monk sprue, and various other kits.

Hold on. Rat Ogres. I’m sure that’s a dual kit? Added bonus is the Rats show some level of mutation.

I’m sure you can find a use for the Rat Ogres as well. I mean, this is Necromunda where pretty much anything goes!

I'm not going to be surprised if we see a third Beastmaster with Necromundan Giant Rats in a few weeks - though I'd prefer some form of spider, tbh.

The third one will most likely be milliasaurs, as they have already been previewed.

Originally, for a while, the blisters hovered around $30 or so I was cool with that. Then they had the price increase... sure, whatever. But now it just seems every new release is more expensive and unreasonable then the last.

And then they started charging more if you live in a different country for literally no reason.

Just another reason why I refused to buy from Forgeworld.

Blood bowl?

I had that down in my head as the second Beastmaster, with the Ripperjack one being the first one - have I missed one somewhere?

I wasn't counting the Ash Wastes Nomad guy and his bug as one, as they seem to be part of that gang, as opposed to a general Hired Gun.

also small critters.. do GW still sell the Skaven giant rats? seem perfect for stuff to just have scuttling about or lurking in corners to jump out and go for someone near "their corner"

Skaven have some rats on their sprues, Reaper makes some stand alone rat packs in various sizes from Kitten to Small Child.

LAWKS!

Necromunda is revolting – and on top of that, its population is rebelling against the great House Helmawr. Imperial ruler of Necromunda, Lord Helmawr, is at death’s door and his murderous daughter Haera seeks to succeed him through bloodshed. Meanwhile, Cinderak burns and the mysterious Lady Credo’s rebellion gathers momentum.

But the authorities aren’t finished yet, and the Imperial house is rallying Enforcers to its cause in the millions, forming an entire army of jackbooted thugs to put the rebellion down. But with this many scofflaws in open insurrection, regular assault rams and concussion rifles won’t cut it. What you need is a fleet of semi-sentient servo-automata piloted by the psycho-conditioned transplanted brains of especially fanatical enforcers. You need the Sanctioner.*

Known as ‘Lawtomata’ by a surprisingly witty populace, these armed and armoured constructs are protected by thick carapace armour and wield much larger versions of regular Enforcer weapons – concussion cannons, heavy shock batons, and no less that five types of grenade.

Not only are these Brutes tough to take down, they become a self-repairing Mobile Bulwark that counts as full cover for any of their squad mates hiding behind them. Who needs the Adeptus Arbites when you’ve got a Sanctioner?

The ‘Sanctioner’ Pattern Automata will be available in plastic, coming in boxes of two. Sign up to the Warhammer Community newsletter to hear about when it’s released.

* Not to be confused with proper Space Marine Dreadnoughts of course.

It's g-law-rious. The potential for conversions! I need about a dozen.

Come in plastic, and sets of two. Which is nice.

And a lot of options on the sprues as well by the looks of it!

Could even be converted into Tinboyz for Orks, as proxy Killa Kans, if the scales are similar enough.

I LOVE THEM

By the way, where can one find their rules? They're not on the Necromunda missing miniatures list, could these be the first sign for a new book?

Next book I guess. So hopefully soon.

I hope this means we are getting news on the next campaign book soon. I might be impatient, but Necromunda was quite radio silent for a while.

Is that a heavy webber on one arm?

Hopefully the book gets a preview at Adepticon, traditionally that has been an event that is side-game heavy

These boys remind me a lot of the old-timey cataphract robots, it seems possible that they're an updated take on it lik the Vorax is an updated take on the crusader.

Sure looks like it, and would complement the mancatcher on the same arm.



It only looks like a claw in that one picture, it's actually a man-catcher polearm.

 zedmeister wrote:

Looks like it!

It also almost looks like there's a thinner, plastic version of Servalen's Cyber-Mastiff in the video.

I love the Imperial Knight design commonalities.

Robotic justice!

Great minis.

The absolute only thing that's not 10/10 imho is the head, but that's so trivial to swap that it's almost a non-mention. And of course there could be options for that as well.

Looks like the same model to me.

Nice to see the Ram thing still has the underslung Grenade Launcher, too.

As for the arm pit guns, wonder what those are?

They also remind me of the aliens from the start of The Fifth Element.

I think these are grenade launchers, the article mentions 5 types of grenades and other than via the underslung launcher on the ram i see no way the bot could use them otherwise.

They look somewhat similar to the short+stubby look the grenade harnesses and wrist-mounted grenade launchers of current terminators have going on.

True.

Also reminiscent of Imperial Knights, the Ambot and a hint of the Squat Exo-suit to boot. But impressively, isn’t simply a rehash of those. Well. Not noticeably as in “that’s just Dave but painted green, you cheapskate”

Can't say no to big robots!

Those Lawbots are awesome. I love the ram arm option.

Closest thing to a scale shot from the video:



Looks about Ogryn-sized, close to the Ambot.
