What's the Righteous flames ability that is one of the options for the Arsonist Corps?

A model that ends it's activation within 2" gets cont fire effect, see Archangel Animus & eFeora. It's fairly edge case on both of those models. I'm not sure these will be able to leverage it any better.

**AduroT**

Correction on Iron Wall. It's +2 armor for each jack that you are Marshalling and in BtB with and let's you sac direct hits off to them.

Here's hoping for spellstorm pistols? Imagine, more 3" AOE's on eCaine's feat turn...

I hear its a typo in the NQ and they're just range 10" on the card still.

**motyak**

Yeah. Still really good. I haven't seen the mage hunter infiltrators mentioned here, is this where they should be?

Aduro wins

**AduroT**

They're in the same post I gave the rules for the Blazers in. And you missed Mage Killer as one of their rules.

**motyak**

Ah well.

**Cyporiean**

Faction Dice are apparently coming:

**AduroT**

Those are tiny numbers... And once again they're putting the symbols on the six, unlike every other dice who puts it on the one.

I've seen the symbol on the 6 much more then on the 1.

I'd also rather see the symbol on the 6 rather than the 1, it should be a joyous sight, not a feared one

**spiralingcadaver**

My problem with them is that they're printed instead of embossed- with regular wear, I imagine they'll get all scratched up.

Also, considering WM is a tournament-focused game, not sure why they'd make so difficult to scan dice.

Maybe they are intended as more a collectors thing than an often used tool.

symbol on the 6.... Yay

Tiny numbers and printed rather than embossed.... Boo

It seems to vary. All the dice I've seen for hobby/miniatures games have the symbols on the "6". All the dice I've seen for just general use, but that have some kind of decorative theme have the symbols on the "1". This has led to some confusion in my group who all pretty much only use dice in miniatures gaming and expect symbols to be on the "6" and when the maine themed dice I have come up double-lobsters they're momentarily worried I'm about to wreck their 'Jack until they remember "Oh, the lobsters are 1s".

Yeah, agreed on both counts... that's the drawback to a lot of Q-factory's dice.

Took me a few minutes to find this thread

but we finally have another new warmachine release posted: the Tactical Arcanist Corps!

**Cyporiean**

Those are really nice!

I had to think about that for a minute.

**Dysartes**

They're pretty nice, though I kinda wish the guy in the front was wearing his helmet as well.

Still, that minor personal preference isn't going to stop me investing in the Tactical Arsonist Corps

**Schmapdi**

Very cool, and whoever painted them did a tremendous job on the glowing eyes of the helmetless dwarf.

**BrookM**

They're sporting tiny purity seals.

**RiTides**

I wasn't sure about them at first (I had Very high expectations from the artwork) but they are growing on me

**Surtur**

Updated first post.

New Rhulic Colossal "Earthbreaker":

When the wealthiest Rhulic clans need to leverage immense power—whether at a construction site or on the battlefield—they mobilize the Ghordson Earthbreaker. This hulking construct, outfitted with drilling torpedoes and massive steam claws, can level opposing soldiers and warjacks as easily as it moves mountains of earth. While these great machines were once employed only within Rhul, the emergence of colossals in the wars of the Iron Kingdoms has motivated Rhulic mercenary warcasters to invest in Ghordson Earthbreakers to maintain their competitive edge. The Ghordson Earthbreaker colossal comes in a box (PIP 41103). A player may field up to two Ghordson Earthbreaker colossals for each warcaster in a Mercenary Rhulic Army.

**Elemental**

That looks great. It'll be interesting to see the rules for this--hopefully, it won't get weakened too much because of Thor Steinhammer and his ability to give it boosted attack or damage rolls. The really hilarious thing will be if it's 18 points and FA 2 (like most other colossals), then it's going to be entirely possible to take three of them in a 50pt army, because the Searforge contract makes all Rhulic models FA +1.

Of course, there won't be room for anything else, but there might not need to be.

There's actually two heads in the pack for the leader, one helmeted and the other not. Which is a nice touch. I also like the guy on the right, and his "come at me, bro" pose.

**Platuan4th**

Stop fooling yourself, Elemental. It's Mercs, it'll be 19 points at least. It would be 20, but they're giving us a discount because you can't put it on Thor.

**RiTides**

My mountain king at 20 says don't feel bad
