Helsmiths of Hashut Army Set $200

This hulking box builds the core of a new Helsmiths of Hashut army. A brutal War Despot leads the force, forging his own destiny. A Dominator Engine supports the army with its mechanical might, while a Tormentor Bombard unleashes infernal energies onto the hapless foe. An Infernal Cohort stands ready to claim objectives and hold territory to ensure your victory. These miniatures form a complete Helforge Host Spearhead army for use in fast, tactical games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Necromunda: Bastions of Law $52

This book peels back the veneer to uncover the brutal truth of the Palanite Enforcers, merciless soldiers whose remit is to impose law and order on the chaotic underhives in service to their noble masters. You’ll find rules for different precincts, an exhaustive armoury, new scenarios to get them into the action, a fresh set of Hangers-on and Hired Guns, and loads more.

This 128-page hardback book contains:

– Background of the Palanite Enforcers: In-depth background material for the callous lawmen who patrol Necromunda with impunity, including their organisation and hierarchy.

– Palanite Enforcer Patrols: Rules for running your own patrol, including an extensive list of weapons and Wargear.

– Additional Rules: Palanite Drill skills, rules for different Prefectures, and forming alliances with the Imperial House.

– Palanite Enforcer Scenarios: Two scenarios involving the Enforcers – Asset Seizure and The Getaway.

– Badzone Enforcer Gangs: Rules for creating Enforcers from isolated or abandoned fortress-precincts.

Palanite Enforcer Captains & Sergeants $52

This multipart plastic kit builds two Palanite Enforcer Captains, two Palanite Enforcer Sergeants, two Palanite Enforcer Subjugator Sergeants, and a pair of Hardcase Cyber-mastiffs for your Palanite Enforcer gangs in games of Necromunda. Armed with the precinct’s best weaponry and carrying advanced equipment, they’ll give you the edge against anyone you declare to be criminals.

This kit is loaded with options so you can customise your miniatures. The Palanite Enforcer Sergeants can each be armed with either an autopistol and power maul, or an Enforcer boltgun with optional las-projector or combi-grenade launcher. They also have three head designs and two neck options each. The Subjugator Sergeants can be armed with a repulsion pattern chem-thrower, or a heavy stubber with a bio-scanner, grenade, or magazine in their left hand. They also have a choice of two different heads and necks each. The Palanite Enforcer Captains can each be armed with either a bolt pistol or plasma pistol, and a helmet, sheathed power sword, or drawn power sword in the other hand. They also come with a choice of two heads and two necks. The Hardcase Cyber-mastiffs each have a choice of two different head options, offering even more opportunities for personalisation as you track down the criminals of Necromunda.

Ashwing Helamites $52

Ashwing Helamites are smaller and less domesticated than Dustbacks. Ash Waste Nomads use them as guard creatures, controlling these flying macro-insects using large lures. Once their lure has been placed on the ground, Ashwings will treat the area as their territory and attack any who come near.

This multipart plastic kit builds two Ashwing Helamites, a pair of vicious, winged creatures, and a lure for your Ash Waste Nomads gangs in games of Necromunda. Their speed makes them ideal for ambushing unsuspecting enemy fighters, while the Ashwing Lure can be used to set up ambushes, or to create a no-go area for your opponent’s gangers on the battlefield. Both of the Ashwing Helamites can be built on a scenic base, or mounted on a flying stand. There is also a head and Ashwing Lure with sky mantle backpack that can be used with a member of the Ash Waste Nomads War Party, available separately, to represent which member of your gang is responsible for these beasts.
