The ‘Sanctioner’ Pattern Automaton Is a Ogryn-sized Dreadnought Violently Enforcing Lord Helmawr’s Peace

Necromunda is revolting – and on top of that, its population is rebelling against the great House Helmawr. Imperial ruler of Necromunda, Lord Helmawr, is at death’s door and his murderous daughter Haera seeks to succeed him through bloodshed. Meanwhile, Cinderak burns and the mysterious Lady Credo’s rebellion gathers momentum.

But the authorities aren’t finished yet, and the Imperial house is rallying Enforcers to its cause in the millions, forming an entire army of jackbooted thugs to put the rebellion down. But with this many scofflaws in open insurrection, regular assault rams and concussion rifles won’t cut it. What you need is a fleet of semi-sentient servo-automata piloted by the psycho-conditioned transplanted brains of especially fanatical enforcers. You need the Sanctioner.*

Known as ‘Lawtomata’ by a surprisingly witty populace, these armed and armoured constructs are protected by thick carapace armour and wield much larger versions of regular Enforcer weapons – concussion cannons, heavy shock batons, and no less than five types of grenade.

Not only are these Brutes tough to take down, they become a self-repairing Mobile Bulwark that counts as full cover for any of their squad mates hiding behind them. Who needs the Adeptus Arbites when you’ve got a Sanctioner?

The ‘Sanctioner’ Pattern Automata will be available in plastic, coming in boxes of two. Sign up to the Warhammer Community newsletter to hear about when it’s released.

* Not to be confused with proper Space Marine Dreadnoughts of course.
