Forces of Warmachine: Books and New Models

[ICLRK625]

I would apply that to all of the epic Warlocks, they're all horrible as far as I'm concerned. All of the new epics are either comparable to the originals or only slight improvements, nothing epic about any of them.

Sounds more like they recycled eStryker for Circle to me. Haha, he might be known DarthBaldur in the near future

A teaser for the Trollkin battlewagon thing :-

Pretty much the result of a policy change after Legends. They toned down the epic scuplts to keep the prices down, which is why the scenic bases went away, and the models themselves are a little less over the top.

It's not just the over-the-topness that I miss, these models aren't even variations of the original, they're almost exactly the same, only slightly better (or worse in Hexeris' case).

On another note, the cannon on the Troll battle engine alone is crazy, Trolls aren't supposed to get nice things.

Love it. Huge model is huge.

...ewww.

It doesn't look bad (well, it does look bad, but in the way it's supposed to ). The sorceress on top is a bit iffy, but it's likely just the paint job.

Seriously, though...ew. There must have been more people advocating for Legion Tentacle Rape than there were for Woldur.

You must really hate every Khador epic ever, then

It doesn't seem like a ton of epics actually change that much, though, outside of the pose and minor clothing/equipment changes. Epic Stryker is pretty much just Striker on a fancy base. Epic Haley is just Haley with a swirly cloak. Epic Caine is Caine aiming his guns differently. Epic Asphyxious is mostly just a new weapon. The Testament is just the High Reclaimer with a modified weapon and his hood off. A lot of it is in the posing and weapon - not everyone can be Thagrosh or Severius.

Hexeris - updated back decoration/shoulder pads; slicy-er Gulgata
Baldur - stone-based armor; hood off
Vayl - new armor & helmet; triplicated weapon
Bloodsong - somewhat fancier hammer; non-sucking pose

[ICLRK625]

Khador is awful for epics, haha.

It's mostly the weapons I suppose, Stryker got a much more impressive sword, Kreoss got bigger armor and a new weapon, even Vlad gets a better pose (and less Bee Gees pelvic thrusting). Almost none of the Hordes Epics feel this way, and if they really did have a policy change as suggested above, that's a real shame, some of the best models PP has done are epics (eCaine, eSeverius, etc.)

[Emeraldw]

That is an impressive model.

[forthegloryofkazadekrund]

WOW that i like, hmmm can my Gatormen climb up it to get to the tasty snack at the top......

looking at this i would say taking a quick look

Sp - 6
Str - 10
Mat - 7
Rat - 1
Def - 12
Arm - 19
Com - 9

Pow - 5
Tentacles P + S 15


Damage - 20

PC - 12
FA - 2

Im left with these numbers- according to the PP link all the numbers are on the card + a few extras

6 5 6, , 13 , 2, 4, 4


EDIT - Edited so it makes a bit more sence - and to tidy up - lack of sleep and posting dont mix lol

[Voss]

Some of your guesses are very, very wrong. Strength and POW are almost certainly reversed. If not, then I never want to see an earthborn on the table ever again. Seriously though, P on melee weapons almost never gets that high, usually tops at 8 on puny casters.

Point cost is absurdly wrong. 9 or 10 is likely. 24 is more than twice the cost of the most expensive engine so far. Almost twice as much as the most expensive models in the game.

FA will be 2, like every other battle engine.

Holy ****!

Curses. I really like it. I was hoping I wouldn't want to spend money on it.

[basher]

st more likley 10 pow 5
cost 9 or10
def 10
dam 24
arm 20

it is a nice model better than the art which makes a change

as for the epic argument i dont care about cost i wish they would do some thing like malifaux's avatars having krugar on a base of lighting would have been awsome

[Thanatos_elNyx]

I like it. I may actually get it, even though I hadn't planned on picking up any battle engines.

Very true, it was very early in the morning when i posted, lack of sleep and posting dont mix

I can see that getting a lot of use and not just for Warmahordes, defenetly see that in a few chaos armies in either Warhammer or 40k

Indeed - Privateer just made a great Chaos Warshrine (if people don't mind it flowing off the base in WHFB ).

I'm really hoping that thing works well with either Vayl, as she'd be my first choice to have such a creation in the army (Saeryn and Bethayne probably tie for second choice).

[Hrafn]

Hey, that's actually very good!

Had my doubts PP could pull off such a weird concept - but it seems like they succeeded admirably. The Sorceress ain't that hot, but not straight out bad. She can be replaced anyway.

Tied with the Fulcrum and the Storm Strider for best War Engine yet IMHO. Unfortunately, if the TB and Skorne ones don't turn out very much different from what we have seen, the "yet" part may very well be struck!

[loveless]

Lots of stuff today - Menite Solo, Mercenary plastics, and the Boneswarm moving to Warmahordes.

Nicia, Tear of Vengeance

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine...r-of-vengeance

The widow of a proud Menite soldier, Nicia hopes only that by the time she meets her own inevitable, bloody death she will have killed enough unbelievers to join her husband at Menoth’s side. This peerless Daughter of the Flame strides through battle with lethal grace and speed, each movement gauged to bring her within striking distance. Even as she cuts through one foe, she fells another with cannon fire, wheeling her blade around for another kill. Few enemies have witnessed Nicia's murderous devotions and lived.

Mercenary Heavy Warjacks

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine...warjacks/rover
http://privateerpress.com/warmachine...warjacks/nomad
http://privateerpress.com/warmachine.../warjacks/mule

Mercenary warjacks are often drawn from discontinued chassis once produced by kingdom armies. The Mule, a former Cygnaran warjack, wields a massive battle mace and an innovative steam-powered cannon packing enough explosive punch to scatter enemies like leaves. The Nomad, once a Cygnaran mainstay, has been battering enemy ’jacks with its battle blade for 150 years. The Rover was built specifically for mercenary use, and its battleaxe and shield-mounted cannon have turned the tide of many a battle. Mercenaries maintain these battle-tested machines and find them fully capable of standing toe-to-toe against any fresh from the assembly line.

This box set contains three color stat cards and one multi-part heavy warjack plastic model (PIP 41085). Included are all the components to assemble one of three heavy warjack variants: Mule, Nomad, or Rover. A player may field any number of these heavy warjacks with a Mercenary warcaster.

Boneswarm

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gal...asts/boneswarm

The boneswarm is an undulating mass of osseous debris given horrid life and animation by lingering necromantic energies in places where many have died. Gatorman bokors have learned to control these horrors, directing them to envelop foes in a mass of biting, toothy skulls. The bones of its slain victims are incorporated into the boneswarm itself, allowing it to heal damage and grow stronger and more resilient.

[nurgle_boy]

But wheres the plastic mangler? D: Honestly, they could have gotten it into the same kit with minimal effort. Do you think we'll be stuck with the old metal one, or will we get an upgrade kit alongside the inevitable Rocinante upgrade.

As for Nicia, thats a really nice sculpt. It isn't overly dramatic or outstanding, but it looks very clean, and just... nice!

The boneswarm is pretty ronseal though. It is what it says on the tin. A swarm of bones. Not bad, at all, but nothing outstanding compared to the other preveiws!

Thats almost what i was thinking myself, recently they have started for me putting far to much frippery like pennants everywhere but this looks good, simple,elegant and effective really, like the alt eiryss
