I don't want it to be for pZerkova. How bad do you really wanna arc Razor wind?

I like Adurot's idea. He wants Deathjack for Zerkova with the option of using the orgoth artifacts.

To make this work, however, he'd need some special rules to make her spells stick and to give her some focus efficiency.

He'd need to use her stat and generate focus on his own somehow. Otherwise he'd be expensive to use. Icy Grip is totally worth getting a free casting though.

Nah, no free Focus or none of that. It's more a way to get an Arc Node like model into Khador without having Sorcha "break" it with her Freezing Grip due to it being limited to the 3 Focus that you're able to Allocate to it, and then has the bonus of casting a spell outside of your Warcaster's turn. Zerkova has three attack spells she could use with it, or could use it to cycle Icy Grip to two/three different units during your turn.

The next league unlocked spoiler - the Rhulic Battle Crawler.



I'd expect SPD 3 out of that thing at best. Looks like a semi-portable fortress really.

Looks bloody awesome. Probably the coolest battle engine.

So much yes. That looks awesome

Good lord. Incredible artwork. I hope the actual model will do it justice.

The new book will be so glorius...

I absolutely love it. If the model ends up as good as the art, I think I'll make one with the hatch closed and painted up with some union jack colour scheme and have it do double duty as a steampunk walker with 28mm historicals.

I have to say, PP seems to have the pedal down lately. Between fantastic resculpts, amazing new models, and HARD PLASTIC?!?!, they've got no where to go but up.

I had something similar in mind. I imagine some Anglo-Zulu Brits or Ashigaru marching next to it.

I don't play Rhulic in WM/H, so this purchase is going to depend on it being well priced like the hard plastic cyriss battle engine and how well it works with Khador, Cygnar or Menoth.

Do you mean askari rather than ashigaru, or do you intend to go with a Japanese themed 1890s sort of army?

I did indeed mean Japanese Ashigaru. May have been poor sentence layout on my behalf. And I don't inted to go with anything at the moment, but I am getting a sort of alternative history/weird war vibe from that Battle Engine.

That sounds like a great idea. I just got confused because colonial british is like 19th century and ashigaru are like 15th century and there's this other similar word askari that also might work there. My bad for making assumptions.

Wargames Factory Ashigaru are an okay option, but some people don't like their faces and find their weapons too thin. I'd likely be tempted by Perry metal ashigaru as they are £1.167 each for metal:


I bet it would also be possible to green stuff some of the armour plate texture onto the battle engine. And japanese style rectangular banners would look great on it.

The battle engine is in the card game already, where it has an interesting rule called Bail Out. When it's destroyed you deploy a Rhulic unit from your hand for free. There's debate on if that could mean anything for what rules it might get in Warmachine.

Well, some rumours are circulating about this new book bringing something completely new to Warmachine, so... transports?

Not sure anyone posted this yet....

Interesting - the heroes look like a bog trog, gatormen, troll whelp(?) and Tharn girl. The bad guys all appear to be Farrow.

They should include cards for the heroes to be minion solos in Warmahordes. Be an easy way to give the game crossover appeal to non-RPG players.

Interesting...

So, left from right it appears;

Rask Model with extras/conversions
Gatorman Posse Model with extras/conversions
Crump from the Hunters Grim with extras/conversions
Tharn Bloodtracker with conversion
Rorsch from Rorsch and Brine with conversions
Slaughterhouser
Brigand
Slaughterhouser
Brigand
Targ with conversion
Razor boar

So...no new models, just conversions I guess.

$45 for 14 minis, plus books, tiles, dice etc. It's not surprising.

Oh yeah, I think it's a great deal--just noticed they are starting to reuse molds with extras now. I think this is a good sign (coupled with the COC engine).

That's actually really awesome, I'd love to have that now for our IKRPG group. Nice price too, considering. <$45 for tiles, 14 minis and an adventure path is pretty awesome.

You know, I might be really tempted to get this. Only because I do want to paint the models and use some of them in Warmahordes itself.

Nice set.

I might have been tempted if the minis were a bit more unique, but it's a cool intro box for IKRPG.

I love the gator with the gun - I might have to pick it up for that, and for a few others!

My thoughts exactly!

Man, I really want the models. Plastic slaughterhousers? Yes! Unique Tharn Bloodweaver/Bloodtracker? YES! Things? YES YES!

Couple of nuggets have just appeared.

Remember this guy?


Well, it is.


Here's a preview from Templecon's FB page for their midnight madness shirt.


All but confirmed it as we can see Mr Zoktavir in the background.

PP have just released the latest Primecast podcast in which Ruin (this guy) is discussed.

A warjack as crazy as the Butcher.

One of the most terrifying melee warjacks we've ever designed for Khador.

And also appears to have Cull Soul on his mace.

I'll be in my bunk.

I love the warpwolf skins to match Mr. Butcher's fur- lined jacket.

It's a nice touch, yeah.
