I wonder if zerkova is a war caster unit. Maybe with the new reavers.

I really like that cover. I'm mainly a Hordes guy (mostly because I can't pick a WM faction, and seeing as I already do like 3-4 hordes factions, I don't feel like I can do that many WM factions too!) but I'm really looking forward to this book.

Is that a cephalax monstrosities shadowed on the right

I'd say so. And a Convergence vector on the left.

I'm pretty sure that's Dynamo

Son of a B! I really wanted to see the Cryx Battle Engine Warcaster being someone/thing who was simply just that large, not just another person riding a larger mount.

They could have made Terminus into an even bigger monstrosity. That would've worked.

Liking those new scythe guys. Wouldn't be surprised to see them on 40mm bases judging by their size in the art.a

Is that a regular reaver in front, or a new one as well?

I was hoping for Mortenebra myself. Promote her to the vacant Lich Lord spot in charge of the war engine production, and have her use the tech she's learned seeing the plans for and building The Krakens to build herself a new huge based chassis. Cryx could also use a good Warjack caster and she'd be ideal for that role.

Anyone notice that Denegra is pulling power from her Jacks to fuel her spell? I wonder what that could be?

You can translate the runes to work out what the spell is - Denegra is casting Grave Wind (Jaga Jaga has it - boosts DEF and grants Poltergeist). I haven't seen a translation for what Zerkova is casting, mostly cause the angle of the image + resolution issues make it trickier I think.

But that doesnt do much to alot of jacks.
I think she may have a power that allows her to use her jacks to fuel herself or something

While I'm all for baseless speculation, I think it's much more likely she's just casting Grave Wind.

Normally no, but DEF is more relevant for Cryx heavies. DEF16 Deathjack is kind of a problem for people to deal with. Its also going to be pretty important for Deneghra herself if she is in fact a battle engine caster. That would probably put her in the DEF13-14 range, and pushing it back up to DEF17 is going to be a big deal.

Pretty tough to tell anything based purely off the artwork otherwise, it would definitely be nice to see some more jack based casters for Cryx though.

Im just hoping that Zerkova two wont be as expensive money wise as butcher

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.

Personally I'm hoping for Siege, since I think at this point he's the oldest caster who hasn't received an epic version yet.

She'll probably be a little cheaper than B3, depending on how complicated the sculpts end up being.

Grave Wind is gonna be a little silly on Cryx jacks.

Wild speculation based on the artwork;

Field Marshal: Symbiosis - Models in this model's Battlegroup gain the effects of any Friendly Faction Upkeep Spells cast on this model if they do not have another Friendly Upkeep Spell on them.

I doubt she'll have something as powerful as that.

Sound scary as feth.

It's only as powerful as the Upkeeps they give her really. It could get mean in two caster games, but a lot of things get stupid in those so it's not really a concern I don't think.

Do we know when the book is due out?

Think of it as time to paint all the stuff you already have!

Lol, what if they allow her to cast spells of reavers.

I'm interested to see what is in the book for Menoth. Not that I play, but I've got 75 points of Menoth slowly being painted, just, you know, in case I play.....



I will buy cool stuff, and I can't WAIT for the new Menoth Collosal! New eCaster?? I'd give them my wallet for an eHarbinger!!

I've heard Menoth's caster is going to be a new one, not an Epic.

An eHarbinger? I might have to switch sides for that one. The pHarbinger is already tempting enough as its one of my favorite models.

I believe they've stated many times that there aren't plans for the large based Apotheosis Casters to go Epic.

Wow. Just wow. An absolute steal for 10 points!
