The Khimerix Slinks Into Necromunda Next To New Releases
November 11, 2021 by brennon
Games Workshop has shown off another terrifying Sci-Fi beast that is going to get introduced into the darkness of Necromunda soon. House Escher are going to be able to call on a terrifying beast known as the Khimerix.
Khimerix // Necromunda
Shop Necromunda @ Store.OnTableTop
This massive beast is going to be available to pre-order from Forge World soon. House Escher does a roaring trade in exotic pets and alien creatures and so it's no surprise that they were able to bring this terrifying creature deep into the bowels of the Underhive.
The Khimerix is then used as a deadly and faithful guardian, watching over the various entrances to strongholds, looking to cut down anyone who gets too close. It also comes with an adorable bow on its wrist just so you know it's loved. At least you'll have something to smile at as it crushes you into a pulp.
New Forge World Pre-Orders
As well as the big new Khimerix, you can also pre-order a couple of new sets from Forge World right now. Cawdor is getting all the goodies this time around with the likes of Klovis The Redeemer & Deacon Malakev leading the way.
Klovis The Redeemer & Deacon Malakev // Necromunda
This pair are rarely seen apart and use their combined skills to bring the faith of The Emperor into the depths of the Underhive. Klovis is all fire and fury, rushing forward into the action to deliver The Emperor's justice brutally and efficiently. Deacon Malakav is his dedicated servant, following in his wake and recording his deeds in his book. He is both lectern and armoured pulpit. I wonder what he did in a previous life to deserve this?
If you prefer unloading stubber shots into your foes from afar then you can also pick up the Cawdor Stig-Shambler.
Cawdor Stig-shambler // Necromunda
Stig-Shamblers don't seem to live very good lives, especially once House Cawdor get their hands on them. They coat them in ramshackle armour and then strap big guns onto their backs. This makes them walking gun platforms that are equally good at protecting their "riders" in close combat. I don't think I'd want to deal with this close-up. A well-placed rocket would do the job though.
Are you tempted to fill out your Necromunda gang with some of these miniatures?

Those look really good.
Psst…no one tell GW that Artel W did all the Necromunda brutes years before GW did, and for much cheaper…
The Stig-Shambler does look really good, and puts me in mind of Master-Blaster
The Khimerix is what you get when you roll a ball of superglue through your bitsbox XD
I think that’s what GW do to all of their miniatures not just that one …
It doesn’t make any sense either, since when they teased this thing in the “brutes” expansion, it just looked like a bigger, meaner version of one of the vicious Escher alien cats; this redesign with the extra limbs, feathers, scales, alligator legs and tail and whatnot just feels really awkward and seems less like a real creature than a chaotic mess of bits. Though it could make a good Tzeentch daemon in that regard.
Ooh they are looking fabulous.
Klovis looks good. Never got into the comics, but he looked fun and the model is a nice modern version.
The stig-shambler just doesn’t fit in my old skool necromunda head-cannon, but doesn’t look bad.
The Khimerix just looks….dumb. Too much, the model doesn’t feel like it makes any sence and is way too busy
