Just announced and vid shown at TempleCon

Army of robots/jacks

One focus can cascade thru army- a jack uses it, passes to next

Jacks have mat and rat of caster

Light jack which can repair

A caster that can make all jacks arc nodes?

Released at Lock 'n Load I believe

Will be getting a Battle Engine (and possibly Colossal?) right out of the gate

**AgeOfEgos**

Sweet--a new mechanic and new models!

**RiTides**

Yeah it looks crazy! Models look decent too. Mostly but not all plastic.

**Buzzsaw**

Several new mechanics;

Field Marshall is an ability the CoC warcasters have: each will have a specific ability that they confer on their battlegroup. The examples were Arcnodes and Shield Guard, if you run the caster, all your jacks get those abilities (so the casters really change how the group playe).

Infantry that can change weapon profiles (switch to reach weapons, etc).

Sounds like CoC is a very, very synergy dependent faction.

**RiTides**

Colossal is called "Prime Axiom"? Faction went thru 2 rounds of playtesting, is balanced. Plays like "Rube Goldberg" machine.

New warmachine anthology book coming this year too with RHULIC COLOSSAL!!!!

Convergence getting their own force book and battle box, similar to Retribution release.

New Hordes faction in the works- NOT released this year.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
5 warcasters in Convergence book. No flesh/creatures.

**Buzzsaw**

Note the "no fleshcreatures" means that CoC is currently incompatible with Mercenary units (which they would be anyway without errata).

**Spyder68**

All i see in front of me is Rhulic Collosal.. I can tune the rest out now.

**spaceelf**

Sounds neat. However, it would be good if they gave more support to mercs, and blindwater.

**Alfndrate**

Do we have pictures?

The pieces that I see in here aren't really scratching my itch... but I haven't had much itch to play Warmahordes recently as it is :(.

Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na_ehW6hm5A if you didn't catch it.

Induction Coil takes the place of the Cortext it looks like.

So awesome!

There were pictures in the keynote, which had the look of something that will probably be posted on youtube shortly. Very art-deco, that kind of chrome futuristic that makes you nostalgic for the early 1920's view of the future. The thing I'm most looking forward to seeing in miniature are the "mechanikal angels".

Knew this was coming, already have money put aside
very excited

Reminds me of TF2's MvM robots combined with the robots from Dark Age

They look like fun

**ElectricPaladin**

I was going to start Cryx in the summer... but not anymore. No, not anymore. Convergence of Cyriss is my next warmachine faction.

Oh, man... I can't decide how to paint them! I think I'll do a different metallic effect on each unit/set of unit. Gold on the angels, silver on infantry, and something more complex, like verdigris copper, for my warcaster? Oh man... so many possibilities! I cannot freaking wait!

**Cryptek of Awesome**

At first I was like ... "Meh".

Then I was like <shutup_and_takemy_Money.gif>

**Buzzsaw**

They show the full card for one of the Warcasters (4min);

Spoiler:

This looks like it's going to be a heck of a faction...

Edit: at 4:45 you can view the cards for the Galvanizer light warjack and the Cipher heavy jack (Convergence jacks are "vectors", FYI).

**HoverBoy**

That looks, awesome...

**Goldshield**

My hopes for some crazy Orgoth-style Remnant crushed again (hopefully Hordes)

The thing I am curious about is since WM factions represent the backings of industrial powers with actual established nations, then where is Cyriss going to be based? They got some other province that Cygnar did not want out in nowhere?

**Hulksmash**

I like most of the models actually. First time I've felt that way about a faction for Warmachine. That said I wish the legs on the larger jacks were less dainty.

Underground. Same as the Cephalyx I imagine.

Names for casters so far;

Axis, the Harmonic Enforcer, (Spd 5, Str7, Mat7, Rat2, def14, Arm17)
Father Lucant, Divinity Architect (Field Marshal, Shield Guard),
Iron Mother Directrix and Exponent Servitors (See above)

N.B., because vectors derive their mat and rat from their warcasters, it would seem that Axis is a bit focused on a melee battlegroup, while Iron Mother Directrix is middle of the road.

Are there any pictures not stuck in a video I cant view -= thanks?

Tried Google and just get some images of Miley Cirus

OK...I really, really like this. Now the question...how to fit it in with all the other games I dont play as much as Id like to...

**Alfndrate**

Ugh all of that is work blocked... Oh well...

**Fenrir Kitsune**

I hope the range of models is good. I would like to get into warmachine, but the poor design of the models puts me off.

Here's a couple of the ones that interested me - including a spliced together angel art:
