Unit and Unit Attachment.

Holy crap, they look like actual combatants in realistic clothing and armor.

This can't be Privateer Press.

**Bat Manuel**

I wonder if this will be the most annoying army to fight...ever.

**George Spiggott**

Links were a little spazzy for me so I thought I'd repost 'em here.

Mage hunters are expected to function in extreme circumstances, such as surviving hand-to-mouth deep in enemy territory while isolated from friendly support. At home in any environment, they learn to scavenge and improvise, and to kill without hesitation. Their first priority is always the elimination of enemy arcanists and mechanikal constructs—which they believe harm Scyrah.

Veteran teams led by senior commanders are well versed in advanced Retribution techniques. Slipping past the outer defenses of an enemy base, they fire bolts through intervening walls to kill without a trace. Working alongside other soldiers in the Retribution military, these teams apply similar methods to erase vital targets before they can even join battle.

**greenskin lynn**

you know, some of the early stuff for the faction was a bit troubling, but now i'm starting to think they were just getting the fugly stuff out of the way right off the bat, cause these are nice

**djphranq**

Lol its like Eiryss had a bunch of babies or something

Yes. Crossbows in the Iron Kingdoms. Very realistic.

You know those things are going to be like magic bows.

I like them.

**whitedragon**

Wow, actual good Elf mini's? Who'da thunk it?

**Scottywan82**

I love how they all look like Mengil's Manflayers from back in the day. Ah, GW's dear cast-offs....

**wspatterson**

Hm. Better. Much better.

**Kanluwen**

Hrm...
I may just have found stand-in Shades.

**Schepp himself**

How do they scale next to Gw models? I always thought the Warmachine models were a bit bigger than Gw ones.

If not, yay for nice shades!

**Tizz**

PP does seem to be slightly biggerr...but more so proportionate all around.'

These are amazing models. I really cannot wait till september!

**Agamemnon2**

It seems to me they're doing better with lightly armored figures, the bearded gunblade warcaster was a lot better sculpt than Vyros, for example.

There's some similarity, though of course these guys aren't wearing the hides of their slain enemies. And are better sculpted overall, the Manflayers suffered horribly from having absolutely massive swords compared to their elven physiques.

**JohnHwangDD**

Wow, not crap.

**Wayfarer**

I'm liking these quite a bit. Quite a bit indeed.

**hammerofulric**

Retribution will drag me kicking and screaming back to Warmachine. Love everything I've seen so far.

**Moz**

Yep these are spiff. I think they had models like this in mind when they chose their White Ceramic Armor, Teal Cloth scheme. Looks nice when the majority of the model is cloth, and poop when 99% of the model is Ceramic armor.

**The Power Cosmic**

Incredible sculpts. Certainly the best Retribution models I've seen so far. But the thought of an entire unit of Eirysses gives me the night terrors.

**Sidstyler**

Not bad, much better-looking than the other models.

**Ozymandias**

JohnHwangDD wrote:Wow, not crap.

My thoughts exactly. These are pretty nice even.

**Moz**

And another addition:
Soulless Escort

**greenskin lynn**

hm, i like it, and the model description is interesting

**malfred**

Based on the descriptions and product codes:

The Mage Hunters look like a metal box of 6 since each model is unique. It'll be
a unit that snipes, advance deploys and is distinctly anti-warjack/warcaster.

The Soulless and the Mage Hunter commanders are BOTH unit attachments. However, it
isn't clear what the Soulless is a unit attachment for.

**greenskin lynn**

perhaps the soulless isnt' an attachment, but instead a solo that has some effect if a spell goes off in a certain range.
i mean, its a faction that hates magic, so i could sorta see it nullifying a spell and taking damage equal to the focus cost or somesuch.

edit- i just bothered to look closer at the page and see it says unit attachment

since i needed to edit, i figured i'd post the pic of another model they put up

The Soulless is an attachment. It says so right on the gallery page.

**Kanluwen**

The Magister is pretty sweet too.

Those powerfist-esque gloves are, to put it simply, combination force weapon and powerfist. He can use it to psychically effect stuff or bash things in. Excellent.
