Pretty cool stuff. Nice to see some head variation on the upgrade sprue -the original ones was mostly angry bald guys *sarcasm*

Perhaps I should build the rest of the shield guys I bought years ago.
Me and a friend keep bringing up how we must start playing necromunda again, but mostly we just build new gangs and scenery.

Chest Plate decoration is likely the same thing as Punisher’s chest emblem. A literal target, drawing firepower to the thickest of his body armour.

We have Arbites at home

I mean, yes, that's exactly what they are, the "home" being House Helmawr.

That second edition sergeant still win the Kyoto Prize for Nicest Hat.

I love that the Arbites had an update to it.

Have you ever carried around a motorcycle helmet or the like? Upside down is frequently the easiest way to carry it.

Anyway, looking forward to the House of Badges? We don't need no stinkin' Badges!

Is that 2 Captains & 4 Sergeants?

I've really got to finish my Squats guys. Working on the trikes now.

I must say, these look very nice. I'm especially happy to have access to some better looking Cyber-Mastiffs than the current lot.

I love that one of the Doggo’s just has a servo-arm claw for a bonce.

4 different models doubled up, with 2 head and arm options for each. Anyone's guess as to whether that's a single sprue with eight complete models, or two sprues of 4 with extra bits.

So far all the necromunda kits are doubled sprues, barring larger vehicles IIRC

I really like these.

Are the pieces on the upgrade sprue immediately under the heads, upper torso/neck pieces?

Yep, that's what I would assume.

Would it be fair to assume these Palanite Enforcers will go up for Pre-order in the next 4-6 weeks?

Normally articles like this on Warhammer Community for smaller games (Underworlds, Necromunda) will appear 2-4 weeks prior to the pre-order. So yes.
If it was in one of the big announcement shows it could be up to 12 weeks.

Unless they forget to release them. This spring they dropped about 6 months worth of previewed resin models in one weekend.

It's two identical sprues, I think it was in the Warcom article

It was:

The Weapons and Upgrade packs contain two matching sprues which pack in five heads, 10 sets of right and left arms, and a range of weapons.

I really wish we were seeing a preview for the next campaign book on 7/18. I want to find out what they plan on doing with the Aranthians.

I'm unsure that the Aranthian Succession was judged much of a success or that they have another load of those books lined up. They've very clearly decided to do something different following it.

(Admittedly that's also what I want, because I don't like dashing named characters with impregnable plot armour and appreciated Necromunda's general lack of them. Nor did I find the narrative very compelling.)

Anyway, nice to see this. The captains are a bit static but I like the rest, and man do the rules for Enforcers need a cleanup. And doing the logical thing re Badzone Enforcers too.

That's talking about the weapon and upgrade pack, not the veterans.

Two identical sprues does seem most likely, though.

If it’s a plastic set it will be two identical sprues, yes. Basically every Necromunda set is like that except the terrain. And it does look very much like plastic, based on the doggos.

Many apo-lo-gees for the format, weren’t me, guv.

But.

Psyker Enforcers?

Wow, those actually look incredibly good!

Defo looks like Psychic Coppers.

Better that than a reboot of Crime Traveller...

Oh, complete random aside? Picked up a copy of White Dwarf 190, as I wanted the rules and background for the Slaaneshi Knights and Scout Titans.

Original price of the metal Orlock and Cawdor Gangs (8 models, included Heavy and Leader, but no actual weapon options) was £9.99.

Adjusted for UK inflation, that’s a tad under £20 in modern money.

Current plastic gangs are £31.50 at the time of writing, but come with 12 models.

So…turns out, the prices are roughly the same. Whether one is better value than the others I’ll leave to you.

Those Palanite Haunts look ace!

An interesting point, but don't the modern plastic gangs come with ten minis rather than twelve, indicating that prices per model are more expensive today?

Also, it would have cost GW way more to produce those sets of metal models back in the day. Economies of scale and the reduced costs of plastic injection molds means that GW will be making way more profit from their current plastic kits in comparison to any metal equivalent, even if the prices were exactly the same (inflation not withstanding)

It is indeed 10, my bad. Dunno how I managed to miscount.

Still not as much of a price rise as first look. I for one am not fussed about profit margin, as it’s more than just “how much was the material”.

I’d still say comparatively, the new sets are probably better value due to the greater choice in weapons.
