Currently posting the work in progress for my necromunda Badzone Enforcers; The hounds of Helmawr


Loreblurb:
Originally part of a larger precinct sent to clean and occupy precinct-fortress 1311 in Skunkton,
a zone also known for it's underhive 'odors' and as 'the previous dustfall', that got wiped out by 'the actual dustfall' that lost most of its economic relevance ever since. The enforcers were able to retake the settlement and to destroy or expel most of the local gangs, but the settlement remains highly dependent on cooperation with the surrounding gangs to keep the town running.

They took heavy losses in the taking of the settlement and the precinct is now reduced to a disgruntled subjugator sergeant, a dozen subjugator armorclad enforcers and a fluctuating number of local 'volunteers'.

Authorization was given for a reinforced task-force to re-establish Pax Helmawr operating from the old precinct 1311.

Taskforce 1311,
Proctor Baumer:

Combat assets:
Captain Zorn, Captain Farlane, Captain Lawson
20 subjugators
50 palanite enforcers

6 hardcase cybermastiff
2 sanctionners

Technical support:
20 non-combat support staff
10 maintenance servitors

Initially, the precinct-fortress is retaken from the Goliath gang ref. ‘Ironjaws’.
Escher gang ref. ’Ashdancers’, and outlaw groups refs. ‘Crew 56, Hot Guns, Freelords’ are pacified.

During combat operations the precincts complement of hardcase cybermastiffs short-circuit and go on a rampage throughout the sector.
The violence unleashed by the cybermastiffs and from the enforcers chasing them, leads to the precinct receiving the local nickname of ‘hounds of helmawr’
