While most of the warjacks that accompany Rhulic mercenaries into battle were designed with industrial uses as well as military service in mind, the Avalancher is a dedicated combat machine. The warjack bears the intimidating Avalanche Cannon, a weapon capable of obliterating man and mechanika alike from a tremendous range. A dedicated mobile artillery platform, the warjack’s huge Avalanche Cannon grants Rhulic forces excellent battlefield control as it fires powerful shells that detonate on impact, devastating the surrounding area.

Ghordson Avalancher

It's not on the website yet. This is what we got in the latest email newsletter.

**Da Boss**

Hmmm cool. Glad to see Rhul getting more options. I am looking to start a Rhulic force later in the year, so that's cool.

**BrookM**

The shield is a great addition, really adds to it.

**warpcrafter**

Yeah, but a tremendous range in Warmachine amounts to what, 24"?

**The Power Cosmic**

On a direct fire weapon, even 14" is pretty astounding.

More like 14"

Madelyn Corbeau's up too.

Does the Ghordson Avalancher make up the third jack of a three plastic Rhulic Warjacks box?

**Great Unclean One**

It still looks pretty damn cool, does anyone have a link for a list of the warjacks that are coming out in plastic? Pictures would be good too.....

**Da Boss**

Yer wan looks pretty good- sculpted cigarette smoke!? She does of course suffer from "underarmoured boobs" syndrome, but overall not a bad miniature. My housemate laughed her ass of at it though.

Not beyond the four faction jack boxes but we can speculate.

Known plastic Warjacks

Ripjaw

Juggernaut/Destroyer/Marauder/Decimator

Crusader/Vanquisher/Templar
Vigilant

Cygnar:
Defender/Ironclad/Cyclone
Firefly

Retribution:
Phoenix/Manticore/Hydra

Overall I like the Avalancher, but it features one of my annoyances with the Warmachine aesthetic... giant screw heads on 'jacks. Someone should make a diorama of a giant screwdriver wielding labor jack assembling one of these things, do the IK seriously have no better way to secure large plates together than giant screws?

The mercenary seems like a throwaway character, it's not a bad sculpt but it's a character that based on its background you should almost never see on a battlefield. Can any of you honestly see her dressed like that whispering advice in Stryker's ear as shells from Khador Destroyers are raining down?

**Dysartes**

I'm liking the Avalancher - he's every Gun Corpsman's big brother

And the courtesan isn't bad either.

Hmm - must paint the Merc stuff I've got before acquiring more.....

What's that she's wearing around her neck?

**malfred**

Some kind of choker thingy. I don't know. I stopped cross dressing long ago.

KHAAAAAAAAN!!!!

And here I was, hoping for a date during Adepticon with a pretty dress wearing derflaM.

**BrookM**

So, is she out now or will she be released later? If so, what's her release date?

**lord_blackfang**

It's a walking toilet bowl complete with a toilet stall door as a shield. Nice.

**BrookM**

Now that you mention it, it kinda does look like that.

**George Spiggott**

Here's a pic with less spaz.

**Teek**

I am *seriously* digging that shield. Man, too cool. Thanks for sharing!

It is a ridiculous concept for something that's supposed to be on a battlefield, isn't it? I'm not really a fan of the miniature either. I hope they don't make her 1 point and really useful as I dislike the concept and miniature enough that I don't want to see her showing up in every army that ends up being a point shy of the game size.

**syr8766**

All about that fig. Based on description, I would assume super slow, high ARM, range 14" or so with an AOE of 3 or 4" and will LOVE Madhammer...

**jullevi**

Please excuse me, as I am not aware of many things Warmachine-related. What does "Rhulic" mean?

**BrookM**

Fancy word for Dwarf.

**Agamemnon2**

Kind of looks like they're gearing up for a Rhulic 3-for-1 box. We thought the Ghordson Basher was going to be it, but looks like the Rockram, Driller and Avalancer are where it's at.

**malfred**

Hope so!

**Vertrucio**

If there's plastic Rhulic kits, then it looks like I'll be getting a small Dwarf army to add to my other 4 warmachine/hordes armies.

**Da Boss**

If they make plastic Rhulic jacks I'll start an army straight away.
