Forces of Warmachine: Books and New Models

[Hrafn]

Also, I still loathe the Wraith Engine and find it silly - just wanted to say that again

Hear, hear! Though I'd say completely uninspired rather than silly. I mean, It's a big metal robot powered by tortured souls..where have I seen that concept before?! Even the description in the book is extremely bland - the writers couldn't even come up with an interesting back story for the thing...

well fo all the war engines i thought this had the best art work and i'm really let down by the model its ok but theres something missing

I think it's quite a good model. Good rendition of the artwork. Though the priest and the dais seem a bit squashed.

[basher]

to me the entire model looks squashed it looks like it should be on a bigger base

epic battle engine

[baphomael]

That menoth engine has some quite cool details, especially the brand stamped into 'roid rage's back.

[Tzeentch2003]

Well, thats the thing with all the Battle engines- they are a bit easier to kill than heavy jacks (comparable arm, fewer damage boxes). They can be useful and dangerous, but given that you can't use certain defensive traits to protect them, anyone who's figured out how to trash heavies can trash BEs.

Which, given the $$$ price, does beg the question of how many people will buy them.

Master Ascetic Naaresh

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gal...scetic-naaresh

A warrior-philosopher who seeks enlightenment through his own extreme suffering, Master Ascetic Naaresh has unlocked the powers of pain and forged them into a unique and devastating fighting style. Eager to challenge the limits of his philosophy against new foes, Naaresh has left his isolation to seek battle in the west. Before each engagement he submits to the ministrations of his paingivers so that he may draw strength and skill from the agony.

Nice description. He looks fittingly uncomfortable. That face...oy.

Which, given the $$$ price, does beg the question of how many people will buy them.

Thats my main hesitation with them, though its better than rules matching the cost. I definitely like the fact that they aren't must-haves to be competitive. I'm toying with ordering the Stormstrider- I can definitely see ways to use it, but I'm not entirely sold on it, even with a 20% discount. Definitely wouldn't buy it full price.



Weird weapons on Naaresh. They almost look like clippers, but the way his hands fit, I don't think they actually open.

Looking forward to seeing Kallus

[ICLRK625]

I like his model, at least it's not bland like most of the other Skorne Warlocks.

[basher]

yep should look good in my colour scheme i actually like that model, a lot

[loveless]

And I assume the Redeemer will be showing up in a bit.

Well...that was wrong

Redeemer plastic kit is up now. Nothing too new or fancy, obviously.

[Hrafn]

Naaresh is cool. Concept and mini rocks. Seems like PP is getting really creative with Skorne Warlock concepts; first Rasheth (sp?) and now Naaresh

green of the celestial fulcrum from todays insider

[ICLRK625]

Looking good, I have a feeling that's going to be the best of the Hordes Battle Engines.

Grayle the Farstrider

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gal...the-farstrider

A powerful scion of a family with deep roots in the ancient lines of the Wolves of Orboros, Grayle the Farstrider was trained as a Wolf until he experienced the wilding. As a druid, he has proven his worth and skill as a trusted strike force leader and an unrelenting warrior who simply does not know failure. In battle Grayle embodies the wolf and moves from target to target with vicious speed and efficiency like a predator in human form whose blades strike with the feral precision of a hunting beast.

I like his weapons. That's about it, though...he's a bit dull otherwise.

Maelok the Dreadbound

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gal...the-dreadbound

The gatorman warlock known as Maelok the Dreadbound exists in a torturous state of undeath as an animated corpse bound to the will of another. Despite his decaying physical form, Maelok is still a mighty bokur who can return slain allies to life, steal the souls of the living, or connect to the spirit world to transform his army temporarily into ghostly horrors unimpeded by flesh, stone, or steel.

There we go - now that's a warlock. Creepy and weird with a fun description - gators look better all the time.

[ICLRK625]

Maelok is amazing, Mr. Druid is about as boring as I was expecting him to be (Circle tends to have very boring Warlocks).

[basher]

i know everybodys seen her but i put her up any way

Astride her horrifying skeletal steed, the infamous Alexia Ciannor reaps the souls of her enemies with the hell-forged blade Witchfire. The dark sorceress can raise an army of terrifying thrall warriors from the grave and rides alongside them as she lays about her with her sword, leaving nothing but ashes where she strikes

sorry i disagree there ICLRK i like a far few of the circle warlocks as i used to play them i'm a bit bias but the mini for grayle is crap by far the second worest caster after morvanna

as for maelock that dude rocks i hate it when this happens i really want to start a gator faction

[Hrafn]

Wow, that's alot of new stuff

Celestial Fulcrum looking good. Not that unexpected, since the art looked pretty easily translatable to miniature.

Grayle looks severely unspectacular. As sucha good mini (would make a fine Solo), but too bland for a Warlock imho. On another note, I have to disagree with ICLRK625; Cassius and Kromac are very far from boring IMO.

Maelok is very good indeed. Concept and sculpt is ace. If I ever came around to collect a Blindwater force, Maelok would be a must-have for Warlock.

Alexia is very nice too. Good dynamic sculpt of both horse and Alexia, but Alexia especially looks good.

[ICLRK625]

Cassius and Kromac are the exceptions, not the rules, compare them to the other 6 or 7 Warlocks, (Kaya, Krueger, Baldur, Morvana, Morhsair, etc.) and they're all boring.

[Chucklemoney]

So Alexia is rather nice, is she a standard release?

[Keravin]

Yes as far as we're aware.
