Limited Editions
Between 1999 and 2005, the Black Library, the publishing division of Games Workshop released a series of 14 limited edition models depicting characters from Warhammer Monthly and their novels. Each model was sold with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
Cawdor Leader
This figure appeared briefly on the Spanish GW site as part of a photo of a painted Cawdor gang. It was rumoured that the figure was cast and given away as a prize at a Spanish tournament or Games Day. Despite the rumour, the figure has never ben sighted apart from the photo on the GW site and it is believed the figure was a one-off conversion and never actually produced, even in a small run.
Bounty Hunters
Eldar
When Fanatic/Specialist Games still supported the peripheral games put out by GW, the releases often tended to be bizarre. The Necromunda special character of Yrthrian Mardawn, a rogue Farseer and his Fire Dragon bodyguard, did not seem to fit the idea of Eldar or the concept of Necromunda. The figures were discontinued in 2004 in the UK, but were still available in the US in 2007.

Enforcers
Arbites
These figures were originally released in the early 1990’s as Forces of the Imperium. Three figures appeared in the 1991 Blue Catalogue (power maul, bolter 1 and shotgun 1) with the other four figures appearing in the 1993 Black Catalogue. They then seemed to disappear from the catalogues (although they were available from mail order) until 2004 when they appeared as part of the Necromunda listings.
Chaos Cultists
These figures appeared in the 40K Chaos Marine listings in the 1999 Citadel Miniatures Annual. They later appeared in Gang War as a Necromunda gang.
