this thing could be easily be turned into a necron or a chaos capturered tyranid bent by arcane machines to its masters will.

Sold.

Jeez, that's the first PP model since the biggerized version of that Khador jack came out I know I'll buy...

What are the sales numbers on Hordes VS Warmachine?

It has nothing to do with Horde's sales. These are just part of a Warmachine expansion. They've already announced the name of the following Hordes expansion and said their versions will be included in that.

I like it. Although ill never buy it.

Is that blue-tac holding it to the base??

No, I think that's just something to give it more contact area to the base.

Did they say that they would be out for Domination?

If so, that's going to be fun. If not, then I imagine there's still playbalance/design
stuff going on.

Yep, the Templecon Tweets mention it. I'll dig 'em up.

»Wrath will have 6 warcasters. Increased exposure to Zul coming up in fiction.

»Character jacks/beasts will continue having upgrade kits. But full kits are still possible. Wrath has another set of new character jacks!

»Domination is a parallel to Wrath. Integrates ideas from a couple years of work. Currently working on anthology books for 2012.

»Domination news: 10 new warlocks. 4 epics, 4 normal, 2 minions. Battle engines (some "hungry"). New character warbeasts.

»Lock and Load will have activities unavailable anywhere else with PP staff on hand.

»Simon is working on enhancing the forums so that game clubs can communicate better. Blogs on community building will come this year.

»Jen is OK to have an area shared between PGs so they can take breaks and trade off tourneys. Email her to discuss with your interest.

»You can run events without being a PG, but new PGs are still welcome. Just be patient with the app process (can take up to 3-6 months).

»Game clubs without stores can now buy league kits. New league format offers a patch for each participant.

»The panelists introduce themselves. http://plixi.com/p/74736075

»Panel's topic begins with Wrath, then organized play, community building, Lock and Load, and "on the horizon".

I personally hate this model..glad I don't play cryx.

The height looks more or less right... it's just the bulk (or lack thereof) of the lower half that's a problem... and that's easily compensated for with some 'creative' basing. Mount him on a pile of rocks, and allow opponents to target his base elements as well as the model himself.

Allowing the targeting of basing elements is unnecessary.

Los is standardized by base size a la magic cylinder.

Yeah, that would technically work as well, but I would be reluctant to do it just for the one model. Not just for the inconsistency, but because I'm really not a fan of the magic cylinder approach. So just bulking his base out to give him more or less the same profile as a Monolith seems the best approach.

Woops, didn't realize you meant for 40k

I was about to say.. That's how the LOS system works in Warmachine/hordes.

This is the only one of the extra big model releases for warmachine that in any ways tempts me. 90% sure I wont buy it on release, but better than 100% sure.

I just can't wait to see what Legion of Everblight gets...

Damn it. That means no Epic Siege. So there's another year before Triumph will be useful with his warcaster...

Hordes ones come out much later this year.

Thumbs up from me. It looks pretty wicked. Not my "thang", but still bad ass.

How would Siege get epic'd? Anything that tries to kill him has to deal with Cygnar's best solider. Going after Siege involves having to deal with a barrage of rockets, a grip of Defenders (dude handled like... 50 of them when he started the assault on Sul), and finally a pissed off Warcaster with a big ass hammer.

Siege, much like Gorton, will never go Epic simply because nothing can hurt him bad enough.

The Wraith Engine stalks the battlefields of western Immoren shrouded in the impenetrable shadow of death and pain. Ephemeral and elusive, it can become incorporeal at will or hide its presence in a cloud of ectoplasmic smoke. Like a great, necromechanikal specter, the Wraith Engine appears suddenly among its victims, slashing them to ribbons with its scything talons and drawing their souls into the glowing, green furnace of its innards.

Good stuff, the 3d view shows very interesting details. Good job overall

Great stuff indeed.

Can't wait till we get our hands on it.

PP for the win.

Didn't know the cryx were so appreciative of Tyranid pysiology...

Also: Plastic/metal fusion products FTL. Always. I would have thought the constant, undending gripes from certain 40k armies (looking at you Tau) would have made this clear.

Hello,
I really like the look of this, could be really fun for a Necron army as well.

Regards,
Carl

You're in luck then. It's not made of plastic at all.

I think that looks pretty awesome!

It does look cool, but the weight of the model resting on that tail on the base just seems like a horrible idea. I would be very worried of a break right there if I played Cryx.

And holy crap, 10 new 'Locks in the next Hordes book! I missed that part. I'm still getting used to my Legion force and catching up with old units and now I have new stuff to catch up with!

Hrm. Page looks like it's down for now. If they move the link, let me know.

They've changed the link to http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/cryx/battle-engine/wraith-engine .

Thanks.
