The Queen with the Power axe and Death Maiden with the Plasma pistol and claw have the same body so it's plastic.Further to the Phyrrcat speculation, GW releases information about the upcoming House of Blades journal and more relevant to this thread, a whole load of new Escher Matriarch models and a Leader along with two “cats”.
Unless I missed it I don’t think it says if they’re plastic or resin.
Claim the underhive for House Escher with new miniatures and rules
Matriarchs, Phyrr Cats, and a new kind of rules supplement is coming to Necromunda.www.warhammer-community.com
New models incoming
- Thread starter Malika
- Start date
I suspect they will do a Character box for all six house gangs and leave it at that. Maybe not Van Saar with their Tek hunters and the baked in modularity of the whole Van Saar line.
The enforcers and Squats already have theirs and Spyers are all characters anyway
I must say that I liked more the new Escher compare to the n23 edition. The face are less ugly. Still don't get the stiletto boots but hey it's kinky .
The old faces made sense scientifically. Lore wise house Esher are basically a closed genetic pool of a eugenicly narrow group. Less genetic diversity will lead to far less variance in phenotype (similar in general principle to thoroughbred dog breeds).
The the high cheekboned haughty look will be the standard phenotype.
Given the high amount of genetic correctness they seemed to stumble onto with the space marines (in general sci-fi terms) they might have actually done the research.
Stilettos were and are originally a type of dagger. And Esher are the House of Blades.Still don't get the stiletto boots but hey it's kinky .

Escher models look good. Nothing really new though. Will work fine for N23. I do think I'm the only person who prefers the old phyrr cats? But why has a leader/champ box got a bow in it? Are bows better than they were?
Because they lumped as many cliché in as possible. Now they double down.
You had: Punk Girls
They added:
(Now they’ve added two new gang lists for animals and poison especially to make you comply)
You had: Punk Girls
They added:
- Poison (because women poisoners)
- Cats (because crazy cat ladies)
- Feathers and pelts and bows: Amazon warriors.

Is it a problem that I do like it?
You forgot the Undead trope of having Death Maidens on your team. So a dev watched a dozen times "Corpse Bride" and now we have very stiff Eschers on the roster too.
I’m surprised that they haven’t given the Escher an aggression boost once per campaign for PMT.
GW has a long history of favouring whips on things…And they kept the whip
Before the ££££ took over GW were a model making outfit. Making a reproducible realistic whip was quite difficult on a large scale (just the nature of lead free pewter). At the time it was quite a technical achievement to make a good whip.
Things have moved on now and it is far easier.
At this point the whip obsession means something else...
I’m still not sure what this weapon is supposed to be. “Ignition Cannon” sounds awfully like a flamer but the Goliath already have those.
If anything it looks like a Goliath version of the Ghostbusters proton pack!
