People always get the idea of GW's historical prices wrong. They try to paint it as modern GW not being anymore expensive than it used to be, when in reality it's that GW has always been crushingly expensive and impossible to keep up with. Buying anything from GW in the 90s was a luxury purchase you had to think over.

Yes and no.

The prices, when you allow for inflation, have remained more stable than people might think at first glance.

But, the main games require ever larger forces. That’s where the sting really comes in.

Might do a thread in this in the general war games chatter.

Found on Facebook,look like Palanite psyches, perhaps?

You're a page late, buddy

Is the skinnier Psyker Enforcer female? Calling Judge Anderson!

Honestly hard to tell. But possibly?

Love the Enforcer Haunts.

Great addition to that gang...

It's because the reason you initiated the comparison in the first place was an underlying desire to exclaim "Look, the prices are the still the same!" and protect your friend James.

Therefore your brain steamrolled over any contradicting information that would've gotten in the way of that task.

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.)

Aranthian Succession was pretty poor. Some nice new models and characters but it had all the unfortunate hallmarks of near enough every attempt GW make with taking one of their (relatively) static sandbox settings and then narratively, drastically progressing it via some catastrophic event that leaves everyone fighting each other. It's not End Times bad but that's not exactly a high bar. Doesn't help when those named characters are often a bit rubbish or drastically over-costed in game when compared to a bog standard gang leader/champion with a handful of upgrades.

They're much better at broadening the sandbox so sticking with expansions like the Secundus was very welcome personally.

Now the Palanites just need a watchfull commisar to follow the psy-cops around with a bolt pistol -for their own good.
But I suppose these days they come equipped with exploding collars.

Squeeze more than just a confession out of ‘em with the Palanite Enforcer Haunts

Very nice, the chest looks better without the sculpted iconography. Resin correct?

This pair of Forge World resin miniatures come with rules in the box, which you can also find in the upcoming Bastions of Law expansion book.

Sorry thank you.

Im a bit confused with the enforcers new sprues.

So there will be a box of 10 new ones, then a box with weapons upgrades and then blisters with the Leaders and now also the haunts?

No, there's:

a specialist box with 2 copies of 1 sprue [1 Captain, 2 Sergeants, 1 dog per sprue]

an upgrade sprue

the two resin psyker cops

Thank you @Jack Flask

Wow theres more plastic than I thought. Awesome update to "space" police. I think these work so well for not only Necromunda but for other Sci-fi settings that need Police, space port security etc.

The bigger pics of those Haunts look amazing.

A really good paint scheme on them as well. The blue underlighting is such a great effect. Loving those.

Dead Space scenarios anyone? Get those folks a plasma cutter!

Did anyone else read the text as 'hexagrammatic diapers'? I was on my phone at the time but i think my eyes are definitely going!

Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:It is indeed 10, my bad. Dunno how I managed to miscount.

Maybe because most Blood Bowl teams have 12 per box?

Anyway, I like the psykers, and that there are 2 of them. I was kind of hoping for a Psy-null as one of them though, instead of 2 different psykers.

I did not but I will from now on.

I knew they were going to be resin but I a part of me quietly hoped they would be plastic.

And the Bastions of Law book itself...

GWS keep saying they are moving away from resin (ie Forgeworld) and deliver in plastic, however that does seem to be the case for 'characters/specials'. Yet for mainstream 40k they have made the move.
I'd only wish they would do the same for Necromunda, if only for kitbashing/conversions and price.

They sell many times more 40K characters than Necromunda dramatis personae. I'd guess they only sell a couple thousand of each Necromunda blister worldwide, so they'd be losing money if they tried to do them in plastic (and taking away production time from better-selling items).

I think we've actually gotten a miraculous amount of plastic for Necromunda, waaay more than I would've guess when the revamp first came out. The plenitude of character models is just icing on the cake. Super-expensive icing, sure, but it's not like plastic character packs are affordable... they're some of the most egregiously priced stuff in the entire lineup!

Lets not forget a lot of the hangers-on models aren't even models you'll even need all that often if ever in a campaign play for Necromunda. Some, like doctors, might only ever appear if you're actually having your home gang land invaded and even then you might take fighters way before the hanger's on and hired help.

So its really cool to have models for characters which, rules wise, are often rare on the table.

So yes makes perfect sense that they'd be in resin as they are almost optional models from the start.

Meanwhile the core gang models and vehicles and such are all in plastics because those are things you'll be expected to regularly use

Yeah, the Necromunda characters are almost pure whimsy and I’m here for it!

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

Two identical sprues does seem most likely, though.

Ah. My bad then.

Necromunda is as close to a modern day Rogue Trader as we’re likely to get.

It’s the fine toothed comb exposing the Nits Of Absurdity that exist upon a single Imperial scalp.

And by being such a tiny scale? It’s blown the galaxy wide open. Just knowing simple stuff, like Governors being left pretty much be as long as they meet the tithe really opens it all up.

Yes, love the dusty, dark, cobwebbed corners of the 40k universe that Necromunda has (often dimly) illuminated!

Eh... no. Models would look worse and wouldn't be that much cheaper. Regarding conversions, resin isn't a problem, just use wet tools and clean the workplace after it. Trust me, I made conversions with metal, plastic, Finecast and FW resin on a single model.

What's honestly impressive is that they've kept it small. Even with their experiment into vehicles they've not suddenly changed the game from a skirmisher into a wargame. They 100% Could do it and honestly maybe one day they will try a two rule system of mass-scale battles for Necromunda.

But right now they've kept it true to its core even whilst really fleshing out the game with a lot of content. It's honestly fantastic to see the game such awesome long term support and a crying shame that we dn't have an equivalent range for Fantasy
