This is why i keep putting of Warmahordes, everytime i decide a faction, i hear of another one getting something that catches my eye.

Given how they do their releases, this is likely to continue indefinitely. I mean it's not like you can go more than a couple months without something being spoiled for at least 1 faction. Honestly if you're interested in the game it's better to just buy into the faction that has the general style you like. You try and wait to jump in when you'll have the latest thing, you'll be waiting forever.

A new Stryker eh? I nteresting....

Erm ... that's a Privateer Press Gargantuans thread. How should a non-expert know that it is about Hordes and also non-Gargantuan models? Well, I didn't know.

Gargantuans is also the name of the next Hordes book, and this model is in Gargantuans.

So you are an expert who knows this specific future product of the Horde range.
Anyone else looking for a Horde thread wouldn't find one.

Just for you Kroot, I have edited Hordes into the title (although it has very often been in there in the "description" section, just not at the beginning of the title).

It's akin to someone not knowing that Black Templars are a Space Marines codex, in that anyone who plays Hordes knows Gargantuans is a Hordes book, but it doesn't hurt to clarify in the title for folks doing a forum search

Done and done!

And gargantuan warjacks belong here I guess

Well considering those aren't a thing...


Colossals were the previous Warmachine book.

Veteran Iron Fangs are brutal and skilled personal combatants. They move between regiments and units coordinating the assaults of subordinate Iron Fangs, lend their tactical prowess where needed, and stand ready to support their brothers with great axe and warjack.

Beat me to it . Model has a certain charm to it... what doesl it give the iron fang pikeman?

Based on that description a special rule or two and a marshaled 'jack.
Which is making IFP and Black Dragons even more tempting to me.

There's a bunch of new spoilers to in the Gargantuans thread as well if you care, but that one didn't bump because of the auto appended next post feature.


Automatically Appended Next Post:

Armed with the mighty nexus blade, the Stormblade infantry captain is a fearsome warrior and peerless leader. A master of the storm knight's tactics, the captain drills his men until they can perform unstoppable charges and precisely maneuver through and around their peers.

Thanks for the heads up! Been away from the compy all day. FP updated.

Okay, Stormblades were one of my favorite early WM units, but, seriously, this guy looks like someone tried to jam a SB and SK mashup on two dwarves and cover the seams with a cape.

Then they gave him some sort of avatar-caliber butter knife to make up for it, but realized his stubby dwarf arms couldn't hold it, so they gave him light warjack arms. Finally, they decided that they should just go all the way and make him a cartoon.

(seriously, look at the proportions of his legs and position of his head, compared with those arms and torso)

The Kovnik looks pretty nice, but this is guy just pisses me off...

Yeah, they frequently have a problem with stubby legs. I wonder if its a specific sculptor that does it.

Those legs... I think his shins shattered.

Oh sick. Tempest Blazers are going to be support killers.

Eurgh, 21" threat range unbuffed. I forsee many dead Choirboys.

Yeah, those are probably the best Light Cav out there now. Gives me high hopes for the Bane Cav coming out in the same book!

Well.. I'll be buying some Blazers then.

21" threat, electro-leap and brutal damage! I'll buy them on release day

It's great to see more and more Cav units added into the game. It's a shame not to use the large amount of rules for them imho ;p

It's Electro Leap *OR* Brutal Damage. You choose the shot type like how normal Gun Mages choose. Sorry if that was what you meant though.

At least they don't get snipe as an action.

Not that they'd need it.

Can't wait to go over to PPs Cygnar forums and hear how awful they are. (I kid, sort of).

Seriously though, those guys are nasty.

The Bastion Senny is... not at all flashy but potentially very efficient. It actually makes you can actually spread out a shot that deals as much as 13 more efficient than soaking it on one dude. Defensive strike kind of fudges the math your opponent needs to do when committing to killing your 'Jack with infantry. I think a Vanquisher is a good match he can Marshal behind the bastions while being safe from ranged attacks. Hold him till late game providing the healing bonus, then hopefully have a good target for a MAT8 POW 12 blessed weapon master charge.

Defensive Strike isn't as good for protecting your Jack from Infantry as that's usually a case of fitting enough dudes around it, and you'll most likely have a spare to fill the hole the Senechal makes. Where it gets good is that a Blessed Weapon Master Defensive Strike could take out a system or branch from a charging Warjack/Beast and really mess up your plan there.

What is iron wall?

I'm only annoyed that my favorite caster (reznik) who would LOVE to have a jack marshal, has no synergy with jack marshals >.>

Iron Wall is found on Khador Mechanics off hand. It gives you I believe +2arm for being BtB with the Warjack.

I'm surprised at the Tempest Blazer's range 12...that is very abnormal for magelocks. Ridiculous idea I know, but maybe they have spellstorm pistols? eCaine's feat would be even more awesome then...

Those are strange stats for the gun mages---magelocks have been rng 10 since forever.

My pNemo likes the arcanists! Three focus and smoke!
