Kaelyssa is the foremost strike force commander of the Retribution’s mage hunters. Her sergeants claim she can hear the heartbeats of the enemy and taste their movements on the wind. Those wizards caught in her sights are left defenseless as their own magic is negated or turned against them. To Kaelyssa her calling is a dangerous but thrilling endeavor, and with every mission she extends the depths of her formidable talents.

Kaelyssa comes in a blister (PIP 35003). A player may field one Kaelyssa in his Retribution army.

First thing that comes to mine is Emeraldas..

I like how the Warmachine Elfs have totally not bought into the human ideal of exaggerated big, manly shoulders, and are sticking with their own subtle esthetic of exaggerated big, manly thighs.

sweet mother of god

thats great

Could her ears be longer or pointier?

A mage hunter warcaster? Yikes.

Malf speaks for me too.

Yes?

Very nice looking, but as already been noted, it will be interesting to see if they can pull it off!

She's gonna suck, she's only got a half cape. The competitiveness of a PP character is directly correlated to how much cloth is flowing off them.

dietrich wrote:Could her ears be longer or pointier?

Yeah, but them they probably couldn't be cast up properly for the miniature.

Someone will clip the ears off thinking they are flash.

If the conversion from concept to sculpt is like the last one, she'll need a bag over her head, too...

I hate the new faction's look. It doesn't belong in Warmachine at all. Function > fashion.

This seems more an attempt to draw the Japanese market than anything. coughtaucough

i find myself wondering how the sculpters will react to doing "ginormous thighs" instead of the standard "how can they see anything large shoulders"

Seconded.

Those thighs remind me of Street Fighter.

rofl, Tau? That's hilarious.

It's like Freud. Anything that's longer than it's wide is obviously a phallus.

She's a skinny elf with armored thighs and long ears with a crossbow. The closest thing to a
Tau look were the rectangle gun dudes on the cover of the book.

I'm still on the fence about its fit in the setting, however, maybe that's where your connection
to Tau is coming from. It doesn't quite fit just like how Tau don't fit in 40k.

Except you get used to it.

I'm not comparing their look to Tau, although if you look at the cover, a lot of the basic warriors' armament is similar. Aesthetically, they are like a blend of Eldar, Tau, and the madness of Joe Quesada.

What I'm trying to say is that much like Tau were an attempt by GW to encroach on the Asian market, HUGE FRIGGIN GREAVES AND ARMOR OF DOOM Angry Space Elves are an attempt by PP to do the same.

Granted, Khador has plenty of models with ridiculously huge shoulderpads (plenty being Iron Fangs and Vlad), but they need those to trumpet their enormous testicular fortitude.

Actually they have big shoulder pads.... at least the Warcaster.

I read Fellblade's post as sarcasm, Duncan.

OMG IT DOESN'T FIT PP ARE RUINING THE GAME feth PP I'M GOING BACK TO GW!!!11

Is it just me or does that concept art have early Rob Liefeld art thighs?

It's just you. Remember, I studied Liefield's thighs a LOT.

I mean, I studied his artwork...I mean, dang.

Looks pretty cool! Like others have said, I will be impressed if they can pull it off with the same feel as the artwork. Looks like a unique take on the elves, while not departing too far from basic lore.

Never mind the Thighs....whats with the Elves having Giraffe Necks?

Not really my bag I'm afraid. But then, I never have liked Steampunk.

That great concept is going to be ruined by giant ridiculous armor. Just like the last one.

Ohhh, could this be something for little old me? methinks, yes, yes it could!

Time to stop playing Eve, and get back to painting!

Not much steampunk about this debacle.
