I dont pla WM/H. But i know the jist of its rules.
The Mat/Rat changing depending on warcaster sound like an advance tactic, requires more thinking and such then other armies.

You know, for all my (legitimate, I may add) criticism of the game, this army looks totally badass. I hope my LGS stocks them!

I've got to say it, to give credit where it's due - I think that this faction might well SAVE Warmachine for me. Their special rules seem interesting, and I think that their aesthetic is completely captivating.

Honestly, the Convergence has got everything that drew me to Cygnar - and, in fact, Warmachine in general - and then some. Robots! Bold and dynamic sculpts! Cool synergistic rules. Even their playstyle - self buffing and cooperative - is exactly what I like to play with.

I can't wait. The Convergence can't hit an FLGS near me soon enough!

Watching the video, the bit at 5:18 looks really amazing. The army looks really unified. That's one of the things I wish my Circle army had.

What seems most exciting is bringing something already in WM/H to the highest level: it's always said that changing the Warcaster changes how a list plays, to a much greater degree then is usually found in most other games, this just makes it amazingly true.

The exact same jacks will play completely differently with Mother (Mat/Rat 5, but everyone is an arc node), then with the melee guy (Mat7, Rat2, FM unknown), and they will play differently with the others. That layer of adaptability just seems like it has such promise...

Time will tell though, time will tell...

The best bit about this is that I have Necrons as a 40k army, so Im sorted for practically all the infantry Ill ever need.

Experience is something you get just after you need it
The Narkos Dynasty - 15k
Iron Hands - 12k

I agree. The best bit about this is that IHateNids can use these in his Necron army.

The sad thing is that the few average-quality photos in this thread (haven't watched the video) already have me more excited for this stuff then I am for Gates of Antares. Did I mention that I've got a few figures that I haven't assembled yet and have never actually played Warmahordes?

Love the models and idea of the army. My only concern is that this faction will break Mk 2 the same way that Retribution of Scyrah broke Mk 1.


Ummm, how did Ret break Mk1 exactly? They had a retro-fit of Mk1 rules in NQ where they were a bit rubbish due to their Jacks having on average 6 systems in Mk1 (Phoenix having 7) as the body counted as a system. All you needed to do to disable a Jack in Mk1 was to take out 3 systems. You do the maths.

Necrons have entered the battle......


Love them or hate them, though, they kinda... don't belong.

Are you sure these guys are for Warmachine? They look a little out of place, in a game with steampunk jacks and war beasties.

Love me some Iron kingdoms stuff, is there fluff located for these guys somewhere?



Kinda a mixed bag, and not in a good way. I hope thier stories have more to be desired then these.

Kinda like 10 lb's in a 5 lb bag.

They are really going to have to bring out the Rocketts, and the hat and cane to dance this one.

The next "new" thing from PP....

At least they are making NEW stuff... some may like it others may not but more options is always good in my book.

This is the truth of it.

More variety might not be a bad thing, either.

I might be overly harsh on it, and in that I apologise.


It's just so darned wierd, though....


They just really look like they are for some other game.

I agree some of this stuff look suspiciously Necron.
At the same time I wish the new Necrons had looked more like this!

Good work PP. As a 40k player that really like some of the PP range, Im impressed at what Cyriss has so far.

Edit: great to see some smart comparisons with art deco! Definitely giving Dakka some class

So....anyone else think these models are going to be incredibly popular with 40k players wanting to make a mechanicus army?

Also: anyone else have thoughts on the Deck Builder High Cmmand or the [Level7] not-Space Hulk?

What has got me wondering if the rise of the CoC is what the Old Witch told Vlad that has got him so spooked he's willing to risk everything that the Protecterate need to know about it by telling Sevvy directly.

What does it all mean? I cannot wait until June to find out.

I'm super stoked about this. I really love the stuff we've seen so far, and I honestly feel that Cyriss fits Warmachine far better than Retribution ever did.
If nothing else I might have to pick up a battlebox this summer when they release.

I'm excited about this as well. I"m still working on my first WM army(Cygnar), so I don't know if I'll buy in, but it looks like it'll be heavily in plastic, and simple to paint. So, it'll be easy to get on the table. OTOH, there might be nothing but Cyriss armies at league nights...

I like the looks, although I was a little disappointed when they teased me by saying there was a Deco influence. I should have known when they seemed to combine Deco with Golden Age Sci-Fi that it wasn't what I was hoping for. Oh well. I mean, those two things didn't even happen at the same time. It'd be like combining psychedial and first wave Punk Rock.

Omega Protocol looks pretty interesting. I like the adrenaline mechanic, especially given that we already know the aliens have a taste for your adrenal glands: The more you exert yourself, the more food they smell and the more come pouring out of the walls. Remains to be seen how well it's pulled off of course, but I haven't had a negative experience with any of their board games yet.

I demoed Level7 escape at GenCon and wasn't super impressed. That said, the demoer was pretty mediocre and it was a demo game. It gets better with more plays?

Demos typically ignore items and only do the first scenario which is the least interesting. Especially with a mediocre demo-er, I can see it seeming fairly boring. It's definitely a lot more fun when you're doing more than just looking for an elevator.

Yeah, I'm interested in High Kommand.

I at least want to see the Convergence Angels when the models
are done. I might just get that all by itself.

However, I do want to learn to paint NMM chrome before I try to
paint any Convergence models. The Warcasters alone look like
they'll be fun to paint.

Meanwhile, still no real Rhulic faction.

And the changing stats based on warcaster takes the thing I hate most about Warmachine (The 'caster specific meta) and cranks it to 20.

Speaking as someone who generally loves tech-head and mad scientist characters, this is a pass.

So far it doesn't seem like there will be a Rhulic Faction. Rhulics
are mercenaries and mercenaries are a catch-all for odd little groups
like Rhul and Privateers and Llael.
