Games Workshop will be taking pre-orders next week for a new range of Necromunda miniatures to back up the Palanite Enforcers. This Sci-Fi range continues to feature excellent figures and these are great reinforcements for the surly Palanite Enforcers.

Palanite Enforcer Haunts // Necromunda

We start with these Haunts for the Palanite Enforcers. Crime never sleeps and sometimes there are powerful crooks who need extreme measures to track them down, bring them in or indeed make sure they end up dead in a ditch. That's where the Haunts come in.

These are the most powerful of Lord Helmawr's psykers who have been locked inside suits of psycho-reactive armour. This set comes with miniatures for a couple of different types of Haunt. You have the Psyrender, who can use their "gifts" to control and manipulate foes and the Bonecrushers, who do what it says on the tin. You don't want to be around them when they use telekinetic powers to smash you to pieces.

Brutal Bodyguards

Sticking with elite elements of the Palanite Enforcers, you also have the Palanite Companions.

Palanite Companions // Necromunda

Companions are the brainwashed zealots who act as the bodyguards for nobles of the Imperial House. They can bring the rarest weapons to the scraps of the Underhive, like the dead disintegration gun! I suppose you have to do very little paperwork if the criminal that you've just dealt with has been turned into a pile of ash.

The miniatures still look awesome, especially with their big coats over their heavy armour. It gives them a neat 2000AD vibe, which is already present throughout the entirety of the Palanite Enforcers faction. You could have some fun matching these Palanite Companions to different houses that they could have been contracted to by changing the colour of their helmet plumes.

Elite Soldiers & Weaponry

If you'd like even more specialised Palanite Enforcers in your Necromunda collection, then you can also get the Palanite Enforcer Captains & Sergeants set.

Palanite Enforcer Captains & Sergeants // Necromunda

This set gives you a mixture of grizzled veterans for you to use alongside the rest of your standard Palanite Enforcers. They have endured a long time in the service of Lord Helmawr and are often led by a Palanite Enforcer Captain who commands great respect amongst his peers.

This set features eight miniatures, including two such Captains, two Sergeants, two Subjugator Sergeants and two Hardcase Cyber-mastiffs. Armed with some serious weaponry, they could turn the tide against waves of miscreants in the depths of the Underhive or more terrifying Xenos threats in Hive Secundus.

As with many of the other gangs from Necromunda, the Palanite Enforcers are also going to be getting their own Weapons & Upgrades set, which can be used to kitbash and convert your miniatures as they get access to more brutal weaponry from the armoury.

Palanite Enforcer Weapons & Upgrades // Necromunda

This set contains two frames packed with heads plus two shock batons, two assault shields, two power knives, two autopistols, two necks, two shield hands, a flamer, a set of magnacles, a web gun, a concussion carbine, an autogun, a sniper rifle, and ten left and right arms. They will work with the Palanite Enforcer Patrol and the Palanite Enforcer Captains and Sergeants kits.

I do like the idea of including more shields so you can properly lock down sections of the Underhive and force your opponents into traps. A neat set for those seeking to do more with their Palanite Enforcers as they grow in expertise over the course of a campaign.

Palanite Enforcers Rules

If you want to get stuck into the Palanite Enforcers as your faction of choice in Necromunda then you'll find expanded rules for them in the new Bastions of Law supplement.

Bastions of Law // Necromunda

This is a House of... book for your Palanite Enforcers, which comes with a detailed background for this faction plus updated rules for using them in your games. You'll also find plenty of new wargear, hired guns, hangers-on and other dramatis personae. The book also features two scenarios for you to play and rules for making a Badzone Enforcer gang.

Backing that up will be a set of accessories, including the Tactics Cards & Dice.

Tactics Cards & Dice // Necromunda

If you're willing to throw everything behind the Palanite Enforcers, at least they reward you with some great guns, heavy armour and a nicer bunk than you were getting when you did your regular day job! It's always neat seeing how Games Workshop expands the different factions for Necromunda and it's about time that the Palanite Enforcers get their moment in the spotlight.

I think next to the Goliaths, the Palanite Enforcers would be my gang/faction of choice if I were going to be jumping into Necromunda. It might not get as heavily supported as the main games from Games Workshop but Necromunda has a healthy range of miniatures right now and loads of ways for you to enjoy the game.

What do you think of these Palanite Enforcer reinforcements?
