Forces of Warmachine: Books and New Models

[nurgle_boy]

Oh man. You'd never see a video like that produced in the UK. Only in America, eh! That was really fun to watch.

[Aladin_sane]

that makes the collossals look carp if the rest are like this i will be very happy

This is mostly my feelings on the subject. I figured the Trollblood Gargantuan would be third or fourth in along with the Skorne one. I'm incredibly pleased by this beastly model. I'm also praying the Legion one is made to this standard.

I agree that the Mountain King is amazing. Spot on. Nice! But I still think that the Colossal are stand out models. I just watched this video: http://www.museonminis.com/pp-model-gallery-adepticon/ and I thought that Conquest stood out and looked jaw droppingly awesome, whereas before I wasn't so keen (when I first saw it, I thought it looked a little scratch built). I think it boils down to if you prefer big robots or big beasts.

Gatorman Witch Doctor

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gal...n-witch-doctor

Each witch doctor is a powerful mystic who lives and breathes the foul necromantic arts that are his birthright. Life and death are two edges of the same bloody knife to the witch doctor, who often sees his allies as nothing more than tools of battle to be moved between those two states as required. Amid the morass of combat he gathers the vile totems required to power his spells, tearing the fleshy trophies from the carcasses of vanquished foes. Raising his sacral blade aloft, the witch doctor utters sibilant incantations that impel the huge beasts he control in a wave of scaled death.



Scarsfell Griffon

http://privateerpress.com/hordes/gal...rsfell-griffon

Griffons are predators that combine the sinewy grace of great hunting cats with the ferocity of birds of prey. Druids of the Circle Orboros have long tended griffon fledglings far from civilization and picked out those best suited to their needs. In the Scarsfell griffon they have found a hunter with a remarkable aptitude for stealth and ambush, one able to dive from great heights to surprise even well-camouflaged prey far below.



Avenger, Hammersmith, and Centurion

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine...acks/centurion

Caspian engineers developed the hulking Centurion to rival the size and strength of Khador’s warjacks. Its increased armor and heavy shield makes it one of Cygnar’s most durable designs, and its mighty piston spear can easily pierce the hulls of enemy warjacks. The Hammersmith swaps out shield and spear with massive twin forge hammers meant to flatten anything in its path, while the Avenger features a stun blade and a groundbreaking seismic cannon. Representing a step forward in Cygnaran technology, the seismic cannon fires sophisticated projectiles that can unleash a localized earthquake upon impact.

Loving the griffon - I was worried how that one was going to turn out as I found the art awkward. The 'jacks look good, too. The Witch Doctor is a bit more plain that I was expecting...not sure what's off about him.

i like the metal Hammersmith much better... but the Avenger looks cool

Kraken

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine...lossals/kraken

The Kraken ranks among the most terrifying necromechanikal fabrications ever loosed upon the mortals of the Iron Kingdoms. Lashing out with grasping tentacles, it snatches up men and stuffs them within the grease-slicked orifices of its shell. The captured have but a moment of terror to consider their lightless environs before their bodies and life energies are extracted by a necromantic furnace that fuels the Kraken’s engines and armament. The Kraken was conceived as the perfect Cryxian engine of death—a machine that could strike from below with overwhelming force, devour its victims, refuel itself on their carcasses, and then vanish beneath the waves.



Nothing we haven't seen, but it's "officially" posted now.

I'm not sure if it the angle, odd construction, or just an optical illusion, but I swear the body of that thing looks like it's bouncing up and down slightly when you spin it.

Additionally, I will never get used to the giant necrotite furnace at the back - it just looks wrong at that size, too much green - it doesn't seem like it should glow as much as the paintjob shows. I also stand by my earlier statement that this thing looks like a Battle Engine and the Wraith Engine looks like a Colossal.

[New Cult King]

I'm a little disappointed by the Kraken. So far the Cygnar and Khador Colossi have looked amazing, but this... mmm... might need to see it in person.

Those Cygnar jacks a few posts back are gorgeous. May need to get some just to paint.

The tenacious and vicious nature of the cyclops brutes makes them singularly responsive to training, and the skorne rely on them to hold the flanks of formations or stand vigil over tyrants. Armed with towering shields and massive polearms, brutes constitute a virtually insurmountable threat on the battlefield. Their unique vision focuses on evading blows, and they can extend this power to those they protect.

new plastic version a lot better looking in my opinion

[Souleater]

Yes, the original Brute had a bendy sword held in bendy arms. That looks much better.

[loveless]

Eh, I'm a bit torn. The metal Brute had a nice pose, but his weapon arm was a bit odd and the details on his weapon sort of forced you into the stock pose.

The plastic one is bracing for a hit - so more dynamic than the original. I'm not sure the brute needed to be dynamic, though

Looks nice - no better or worse than the original, IMO (edging on better, as it's a touch cheaper if I'm reading right).

[Falkman]

Yes, the original Brute had a bendy sword held in bendy arms. That looks much better.

You seem to be thinking of the Savage, since the Brute have always had a halberd.

[Souleater]

There was a cyclops. He was a bit bendy. S'all I'm saying.

From today's Insider:

The mercenary warcaster General Ossrum introduced in Colossals, for example, is quite different from the other Rhulic characters. He carries soldiering in his very blood, going straight back to Dhurg himself, and this informs his strong belief in his military destiny.

There you go, dwarf-lovers. Not sure it's been in the thread before.

[ICLRK625]

Anything that gives Searforge something resembling synergy would be nice, as it stands it's basically just a Warcaster and his battlegroup (and his incredibly limited pool of focus) working together with some other Dwarfs who get to die horrible deaths.

Konquest is gonna wreck that pile of scrap. true story

So Rhul is just a very advanced Dwarf Fortress playthrough?
*looks at Madhammer* Makes sense.

not sure if these are lock and load exclusives or not but god damb are they nice minis

[SteelTitan]

The extreme Carnivean is amazing!!

But uh, how does that NOT fall over?

Still, amazing! Best extreme evah!

[Thanatos_elNyx]

I must be the only Legion player to not like the Carnivean.

All the colossals have been spoiled.
The Hyperion isn't particularly impressive.

Vyros2 looks interesting (Easy Rider and Birds Eye ) but his feat is quite tricky.
