Looted!

I can deal with spindly arms. THey won't snap off if you are using magnets.

Sucks. I am gonna need 2 of the Cryx. I need another Slayer, and I kinda like the new one.

I can see mix/match with the GRIND arms for a Cryx/Menoth team.

And about time for a Skarre resculpt. The old one looks like a Gary Morley elf.

I think if the rest of the line turns to plastic, I may have found a replacement for Warhammer (or at the very least, a supplement)

Ooh! Plastic Warjacks hmm?

Oh my...Oh My...

They look even worse.

I guess I'm one of the few that things they look like gak?

Then again, I think most privateer press stuff looks like blobby, misshapen crap.

I like the modified shape of the new khador jacks. I never liked how the metal khador jacks didn't match up to the concept art in the books.

What this also means is that many of the future new jack releases will have multiple variants in the box.

No, you're not. It's like anything else. If you didn't like the design of the game to begin
with, I don't think these plastic models or anything else they do will make you happy.

bah, i'm going to have to get to of the cygnar kits, and learn to magnetize........guess i should start saving up cash now

And Mercs get... nothing! Thanks a lot!

AgeOfEgos wrote:how are the new rules again? Jacks still get slapped around or can you actually run a Jack heavy force?

Yes you can run jack heavy with mk2. Depending on the caster of course, but for most casters you could run solid lists with 2 heavies and with the penalties for trampling over infantry removed or reduced and with jack made more durable it is advisable to run at least one heavy in list.

And with jacks having higher attack stats, you can even use them without focus to decent effect.

Mercs get nothing because that would mean designing at least 2 new heavy 'Jacks to make the kit worth it, because no Merc 'Jacks share Chassis like there is within the core 4.

And personally, I prefer my Mercs like that. Makes us less rigidly military and more "what we can get for our money".

Has noone else noticed that that is a NEW never before seen kind of Khador Jack? How is "COOL NEW KHADOR JACK!" not news?

Lovin that Khador Jack. Too bad I really don't like how WM plays. Maybe I'll like Mk.2 though, who knows.

I'm pretty excited to finally see plastics. I've been away from the game since 2005 and I'm really digging the plastic Cygnar jack w/ twin mini guns. Very cool.

The arms look like they'd make awesome bitz for various Dreadnought and Ork conversions.

Nice models...won't be picking any up tho as I just dumped all of my Warmachine on E-Bay due to the backwards step PP is taking with the Mk 2 ruleset....not impressed with the changes at all. All of the players at my FLGS are either doing the same or sticking with MK 1 Warmachine/Hordes.

Well maybe because every faction got a new jack?

That is sweet. Too bad I only play the Agenda.

How about a second caster for me? Or have Mags invent time travel so both his regular and epic versions can be in one game.

I'm just sayin' think about it, PP.

"Full metal mayhem" and "Only kids play with plastics"

*Snicker*

Fantasic - my Squat army is needing some Robots, and now there's plastics to convert.....

Mercs are getting the Ghordson Basher in December which is rumoured to be a three in one kit that can also be used to build a Ghordson Driller or Wroughthammer Rockram.

Looking to the future Mercenaries have the Nomad/Mule and Freebooter/Mariner that share chassis and are therefore possible candidates to go plastic.

I don't like the designs myself, actually, which is kind of sad as I like PP's general philosophy.

There is that, yes. From what I've heard, the Basher will be a metal kit, so maybe Mercs simply lack the sales to go plastic. Only time will tell, I guess. I would've liked a warcaster resculpt, though. I dig the machine gun Cygnar jack, definitely. It looks like a supersized Sentinel.

I respect a company that's willing to change and overhaul even its own holy writ when sensible far more than one that's tied up to an ideological statement. Especially if said statement was as silly as the ones you're quoting. Plastic models for Warmachine makes sense, simple as that. If that means eschewing from a particular marketing schtick, so be it.

*cough*

Just went up on their twitter feed today, along with



3D previews available also

Not really diggin' the new Caine...those elves look cool though

eh, that caine is still more interesting looking then the old one, to me at least

Interesting new caine good find ;P

The thing to remember about the Caine model is that it's not meant to be a superduper epic Warcaster.

It's "Lieutenant Caine". As in, regular ol' vanilla Caine

or at least that's what I'm understanding from the feed.

Epic caine is just ownage.
