Anyone else notice this Khador cutie in the colossals vid?

That's Butcher's new character Warjack "Ruin".

Oh wow! hadn't heard of him/it yet! Looks like an awesome model! Very Butcher-esque!

As long as Madrak isn't dead, troll players might be welcoming Kormac to that accursed axe!

Pardon if people feel this might not be the best place, but I found these while I was going through Concept Art World today.


Has anyone seen that art in a Privateer Press publication? Because Ben Lo is a concept artist who works in the video game industry and that is most certainly a Talon Warjack.

I have seen it before, though I thought it was part of one of their weekly online publications maybe? As in an IKRPG scenario of some sort.

Yeah, one of their Full Metal Fridays I believe. I'll look through the FMF collected PDF to double check on that.

Oooh - that looks bad-ass. Though seeing it all painted up I dunno if I like the pelt on it or not now.

Yeah he is sweet. The pelt looks like it's probably a seperate piece.

Whose face is that supposed to be on the shield? The Butcher?

It's an Orgoth relic.

Beautiful miniature!

Its Orgoth, but its also supposedly not an actual shield.

Rules wise I'm hearing Reach and Afinity Boundless Charge.

Yeah, those have been confirmed I believe.

I have been informed that Ruin's face looks like that of a duck's, and now I can't unsee it, and decided the only appropriate response is to inflict that suffering upon others.

Hah - it kind of does. But an especially evil duck ...

...thanks.

Stupid duck face forever stuck in my mind.

Almost as bad as Bomberman on the Big Daddy's face in Bioshock.

Head looks like a duck? Nah, I don't see it...

Looks more like the epic chin that is Animated Starscream to me.

Awesome, now I can call him Quackers when facing the many Khador players in my local meta.

Now I got the DuckTales theme in my head.....

Not sure how this wasn't posted yet, but:

The rising threat of the Cryxian armies has become too great. Death permeates the war-torn region, and Empress Ayn and King Leto themselves chance incredible danger to meet and coordinate their stand. The Protectorate’s Northern Crusade joins Khador and Cygnar in a final alliance of men against the unending armies of the Dragonfather. As these armies combine to expel the deathless forces of Cryx from the mainland, in tunnels below the battleground a lone Khadoran soldier fights to save one of the Motherland’s greatest legends.

WARMACHINE: Reckoning brings you the next thrilling chapter of the WARMACHINE saga. Fight for survival with:

• New warcasters, including new heroes as well as epic incarnations of some of WARMACHINE’s most feared and revered legends.
• A new generation of colossals to level the opposition.
• An array of new warjacks, including the personal warjacks of several powerful warcasters.
• New solos to bring a greater range of utility to the battlefield.
• New narrative fiction continuing the action of WARMACHINE: Vengeance.
• A painting and modeling guide to help you prepare your forces for battle.
• Theme Force lists for each new warcaster, which allow you to create armies based on specialized forces found in the WARMACHINE world.

What I noticed from the art: We seem to be getting eZerkova as a Warcaster Unit with two Doom Reaver body guards with scythes. Also, Denny3 as a flying battle engine caster?

What I notice from the description: Northern Crusade/Khador/Cygnar alliance? Leto meeting with Ayn?!?! And it seems we may finally get a conclusion to the Strakov rescue mission of Karchev storyline.

Rumors say a new Convergence warcaster is in there as well. Khador and Cygnar preparing for a Cryxian invasion? Yes please! And the cover has Denny riding a machine dragon. That's very metal.

Welll, have they ever released something for a faction in a book w/o a new warcaster. The Olla seal is confirmed

I also wonder with doom reavers, ruin, and zerkova making an appearance making Khador is doing some stuff with or goth now

Ok now I getting very curious about what the new Cygnar caster is going to be since I seriously doubt its Haley3 since they probably would have done haley/denny cover if that was the case.

It could still be. But Khador and cryx have been the ones on the last book. Maybe a theme. Isn't Khador the closest the cryx igeographically

Right? I wonder if it is somehow Nightmare rebuilt after he got squashed in Collosals.

I think since they started releasing Merc casters, there hasn't been a book where they have done that. I could be wrong.

Doing stuff, meaning what? They've always used the most Orgoth tech (outside of Cryx), but this release does seem to be utilizing that tech more than others, though desperate times call for desperate measures.

As far as I know, Haley's powers are still drained due to the Cryxian poison. Unless this book finds a cure for her, I'd imagine she won't be in it.

Nope, that'd be Cygnar. And the Wrath cover was a throwback to the MKI original rulebook, hence the Butcher/Asphyxious cover.
