That's probably why he's no longer an Enforcer.

Just like all other Necromunda characters. Oh no, what about Kal & Scabs!!!

The Aranthian Succession: Vaults of Temenos Serves up Saints, Sinners, and Savage Skirmishes

The book details four Dramatis Personae: the Prophet of the Redemption, Axon Hammer, Durgan Kill-Fist, and Scrutinator-Primus Servalen. There’s also a heavily-armoured profile for the Guild of Coin Ironcrawlers.

You’ll find plenty of new rules for Cawdor gangs in the ash wastes, including crew profiles for both Cawdor and Redemptionist Road Preachers, new Cawdor Way-Brethren – foolhardy souls who pilot the rickety Ridge Walkers – as well as Vehicle Gang Tactics.

For the Palanite Enforcers, the book includes rules for Hardcase Cyber-Mastiffs and Sanctioner Automata.

So the cops don´t get nice patrol cars? It´s supposed to be a Mad Max game, ye know.

Have we ever seen that art of the fur-trimmed Enforcer with the sweet helmet crest?

About time!

At this rate it's 50/50 odds if all gangs get Ash Wastes rules before the fall of western civilization.

Mad Max cops didn't really venture out into the wastes too often. Nice patrol cars are for nice, urban roads.

Didn't Ash Wastes come out less than one calendar year ago?

This may be a touch grass situation for you. You've fallen out of time.

The fall of human civilization might be literally next week, it's still a fair bet

I'm not too concerned with their release speed, but with the small amount of content in any given book; but then again, it's possible that their messed-up schedule is still a result of the worldwide and britain-specific logistics crisis, so it might speed up soon.

Of the core six Houses, once this book comes out we're just waiting on Van Saar and Delaque, correct?

Excuses. I will be having meanwhile proper fun with Gaslands while Ash Wastes cops need to hitch-a-ride on nomad bugs.

So the non-Orlock big six are split 2-1-2 rather than 2-2-1 across the Succession books I guess.

This release already looks a tad phoned in, if all they could think to do was put the rules for Servalen, the dog, the two Goliath lads and the Ironcrawler into an actual book finally.

Only reason for a cop to venture into the irradiated hellscape beyond the city is for the Long Walk.

Not true. Hotdog Runs regularly see senior Judges take rookies out in the Cursed Earth for training. Not to mention the Mutie Townships.

Damn. I thought this book would never be announced.

And then we get to start the process all over again with the next setting.

What oldcromunda gangs do we still not have? Scavvies and Ratskins?

And Spyrers I guess, tho I wish them to stay dead.

A+ reference. Well played.

Yup. I would much rather be in the Brat gang timeline than the Spyrer one. Although you could argue that each iteration of Necromunda has ploughed its own furrow regarding "nobles going downhive" and I do like the delegations.

Spyrers imho work much better as a single character than as a proper gang, but we'll see. I guess Ratskins are candidates for a complete redesign if we ever get them at all, they don't mesh too well with current cultural sensibilities and the layer of satire on them is easily lost or misunderstood. Scavvies on the other hand will surely show up eventually, although some of their concepts are now at home in Cawdor gangs already.

Yeah, Ratskins ain't ever coming back. They don't have the will to do them.

Scavvies I would love to see make a return.

The decision to not do Ratskins was made day 1 in N17 with their absence as hired guns, and I don't see any reason to believe GW want to revisit it. It is what it is.

Arguably, all the missing gangs are at least partially covered thematically by the N17 versions of things we already have - Spyrers by Van Saar, Scavvies by Cawdor, and Ratskins by Nomads - and I would be more in favour of them trying out new ideas. I never found Outlanders to be a terribly imaginative expansion in the first place. Do we need yet another round of zombies?

Yeah, i'm not saying i'm missing Ratskins personally, the one thing salvageable was the Hive shamanism and that has found a new home as well already.

Zombies i'd be down with if they were specifically these 'Grave Wyrm' brainleaf zombies from the Apocrypha, generic-zombies need not apply. We have so many interesting concepts in the books that i'd love to see on the table instead, for example the cold trader gangs or the various house delegations... Newcromunda is best where it plunges into the genuine weirdness of a world of billions and billions of people and tens of millenia of recorded or preserved history, like with the new Delaque, i want more of it.

Scabs (Kal Jericho's sidekick) is still half-Ratskin:

A product of two worlds, Scabs carries his Ratskin heritage both as a blessing and a curse. Most ‘civilised’ underhivers view the boil-covered scum as a Badzones savage
and an outlander, never fully accepting him into their settlements and holesteads. This is probably why Scabs turned to a violent life as a hired gun and wastelands guide to make creds

Oh, sure - they're not actually non-canon in N17 and have been mentioned in several books (often just with text copy-and-pasted from the 90s material, though), but they haven't been made into a new product line and I don't expect that to happen.

Don't forget the time the Enforcers had to transport vaccines for the zombie virus to Hive Secundus across the Ash Wastes using a Land Raider.

This is totally my head canon now.

But yeah, I want ash wastes squad cars!



Besides the ones I already made that is...

Given that Ratskins are still in the fluff, be a shame not to see them come back. Obviously a design rethink is required (which arguably most of the N17 gangs have had apart from Goliath and Escher) plus maybe a renaming but a gang clad in animal skins of some sort should be doable without being culturally insensitive.
