Yes, it has been pointed out. The things is the miniatures has a power pick. it's suspected that the power maul was a copy past from book of the outland where it was a mistake.

A fully contained Enforcers book is coming along with new model kit options and extra weapons.

Wonder if it’ll include the vehicle and robot rules from the Succession Campaign?


I still hope they'll get an update... (the enforcers/badzone enforcers)
there's a few lore 'options' that never got rules; investigators, psychic cops/champions, specialized subgroups
the bounty hunter rules can correct a bit, but they remains limited.
Now they have!
 
More bookcase fodder incoming:

The Aranthian Succession: Spire of Primus

image1-1762264680-14im4nhqya.jpg


After millennia of House Helmawr’s rule, Ozostium Aranthus now stands atop Hive Primus, and the resulting disruption of the planetary tithe results in an ultimatum being made by the Imperial Fists – House Helmawr has 100 days to regain control of the planet and eliminate Ozostium. Meanwhile, Kal Jericho has stolen away Lord Helmawr’s body and seeks aid from House Delaque, Lady Haera journeys back from Hive Secundus to seize her throne, and all the Houses and gangs begin to mobilise in response.

In The Aranthian Succession: Spire of Primus you’ll find out how the tale ends, before completing your own Aranthian Succession narrative with the new Reconquest of Hive Primus campaign, which include rules for taking over Spire Districts as you fight for the throne.

Seven new narrative scenarios and a multiplayer scenario also feature, plus rules for the Justicar Courts, Palanite Justicar Delegations, Aranthian-aligned gangs, and rules for Ozostium himself.

So… what are your collective thoughts Yaks?
 
More books = more fluff, which is good!
Rules wise, Necro is already way to bloated - thus even more stats does not really alter anything.
There’s certainly an argument to be made that the actual page count of rules in these books is low enough that you could just take them out and combine several into one handbook.

Similar with the fluff really, though I’m not sure how big that market actually is; a pure fluff book. Probably if it was an Encyclopaedia: Necromunda from Black Library.

I’m thinking GW should have started N17 with that storyline. Helmawr was murdered, the houses are mobilizing (which would explain why the gangs are more like paramilitary groups than gangs), the crap is hitting the fan. Aranthian Succession would fit cleanly into that narrative.
That’s actually quite a good suggestion, given the power shift in the modern game.

Could have been the Legion Imperialis campaign release this time around. It would make for a cheeky club table at Salute. Huge imperialis game but it's just piles of Pro-Aranthian vs Pro-Helmawr infantry. Maybe lighter vehicle rules used for the barges and boats on the Sump Sea portion of the table?
 
For me the most interesting/surprising aspect of this new Aranthian expansion is that Aranthus and his 'alliance delegation' are apparently Plastic kits, rather than FW resins; makes them much more 'accessible' (aside from the price differences, FW online-only is quite hassle for many people and plastic is always easier to work with than resin).
As for the Squats Leader and champs extra box, it feels somewhat superfluous/late (if they were releasing it, they should have done it along their 'House of' book; by now whoever was interested in such a box likely made-up/scratch-built their champs and missing weapons from existing kits or 3D printed bits)... Now this champs-box, alongside the Enforcer's makes me think they may do one such box for each House gang to pad-out the next year of Necro releases wich is exciting and annoying at the same time (always welcome new sculpts/poses, but annoyed I already made 5-10 champ variants from the base gang boxes for most of the gangs).

It would be nice to get a few more bodies for variety, though I’d think by now every existing player would’ve got all the Champions they need.

Escher for some reason got a weird amount of single mini blisters of resin Champions all at a high individual price; so I imagine Escher players, at least, would be happy to see a box of them for a usual plastic box price point.

In general there may be 10 pages on average of actual new rules content per book. Everything is blueprinted, campaign, territories, scenario, hired guns++. Already got 10 campaigns and at least 173 scenarios. Won't it just be more of the same?
Yes. Mostly likely it will.
 
happy there will be a new book... even if I do prefer 'munda content with low-tech local criminals vibe
and would they ever re-release the old resin heads/upgrade packs?
