I think these are the big guys on the cover, which means the earlier concept art wasn't.

Looks cool I love the ornate details on the armour.They are a new Warmachine army right.

Massive shoulders and thighs, oh man!

The armour around the groin area looks rather strange.

Have to fit the tentacle somewhere.

That sword is completely ridiculous. It is unusable.

This has the same problem as every other armored person in Warmachine. A person couldn't move in this "suit," let alone fight effectively.

I know what you mean but then again my head almost explodes when I try to rationalize some of the stuff that goes on in the 40k universe.

34mm tall puts them 1mm short of the Bastions. Medium based infantry for sure.

It's best to just consider that everything is steam and magic powered in the Warmachine universe, just like how you have to assume everything is influenced by the Warp in 40k. Meaning that ridiculous, but cool looking weapon and armor designs somehow work in these universes.

Overall, despite the huge shoulder and thigh pads, I like this design a lot better than what they've shown previously. I still don't like how ridiculous the amount of huge shoulder pads there are in warmachine lately, but this design manages to unify the whole aesthetic into something that works.

"It moves at the speed of plot" -Straczynski and probably many authors before him.

They look ok, not really my bag but I'll not feel sorry for the guy across the table.

Looks like the WM design team is slowly but inexorably losing their grip on what makes nice miniatures.

Stoked by the art. All lasting opinions rely on the actual mini though.

I'm not really liking these. The warcaster model looks incredibly stupid and this one looks like menoth armor that was left in a stream.

The concept for the female warcaster looks good though.

Giant sword: Check.

Giant shoulder pads: Check.

Must be Warmachine!

But it looks cool, I just wish there was some more variety in concept for the armies.

Hmm, not their best stuff...

Lol , i see sculptor in PP is a fan of Tekkaman Blade .

Mate its fantasy calm down...lol

Matt Wilson's art, and thus the look of much of WM/Hordes has always been heavily influenced by Anime/Manga type stuff.

Stryker, a warcaster from Prime, has a sword right out of Final Fantasy.

It looks like with Retribution they're creating the no-holds-bared Anime faction.

And I guess we can thank Blizzard for giant elf ears.

I think it's look'n pretty cool. I can't wait to see the 'jack models.

So this will be PP's Tau then?

I think they'll handle it a bit better than GW did...

His sword would make more sense if PP included what the original guy + his sword have. The original one had cartridges inside that fires like rocket boosters allowing the guy to actually swing the large sword properly.

I'd prefer a sword with a motorcycle grip and small engine, so he can rev it before hitting someone.

Thanks. Now I have epilepsy.

After Drago release I think that I can forgive PP delivering some uninteresting stuff for a couple years, I guess

Man that flashy post really makes me want to end your party... hard

Flashy post?

Someone deleted it... thank god for that.

Dear god...
If only there were a 40k army with that aesthetic style...

Eldar?

You think?

Eldar stuff tends to be sleek and long.

I'm not finishing this post. Too sweaty.
