"I feel that the horse is missing a unicorn horn and a rainbow coming out of it's butt."

Ok. That's easily the most bizarre thing you've ever said.

NQ39, pg. 10.

Behind Ed and Will.

I am not in the mood to follow the dakka tradition of 1-2 threads per new Privateer miniature, so I post this preview of the new Trollbloods War Wagon here:

Psst, Kroot:


I'm pretty sure the pictures you've linked to are to help show the sculpting process

I'm liking , what should be interesting is his theme list , i demand a spriggan army just for 7 inch charge of the light brigade !

Hold? Probably.

Hold effectively? Not a chance.

Epic shoulderpads.

I feel that the horse is missing a unicorn horn and a rainbow coming out of it's butt.

Out of interest, Worglock, do you ever have anything positive to say about a company which isn't GW?

Also, if the scale from the art is kept, I think those shoulders will end up smaller than his current Epic version.

Light Brigade?

Quick clarifications.

1- The official title of any epic character is their name followed by their iteration. For example this version of Vlad is Vlad3.

2- Vlad does not wear Warcaster armor. He wear straight up magical gear that has been in his family since the Thousand Cities era.

Also as far as I know the other Warcasters getting the Epic2 treatment are Nemo, Asphyxious, and Kreoss.

Let's see if the model matches up to this, because this is FREAKING awesome.

That vlad artwork is ridiculous, and not in a good way.

Kreoss I don't believe has been confirmed and I actually doubt will get the polish. More likely it will be Feora.

Also on the PP forums Legendary is auto corrected to Epic, this may mean that they are indeed going to be called Legendary or that they just want to really push the fact they don't want to change it. Personally I like the former, none of this Vlad3 or eeVlad business.

I really hope that Reznik will get an epic form though, and maybe some convert ranged units from cygnar or khador. Though more likely it will be Harby.

When the v3.0 casters were announced I almost hoped for a Skarre3. And then I thought, "Surely they wouldn't take a caster with a very solid Prime version, an amazing Epic version, and then make yet another version of them. No chance." And then they announced Gaspy 3.0. Someone with a solid if less-used) Prime, a ridiculous Epic, and who knows how this third iteration will compare. If it's just as amazing as his current Epic I foresee more complaining about my army (which has never included eGaspy).

Nemo 3 you say? Oh, hell yeah. Nemo is my favorite Warcaster.

You mean... Threemo?

See, that War Wagon annoys me because it's asymmetrical. It has one little pintle gun area on the left... and none of the right. That drives me mental.

If his spear wrist was just rotated 180 degree's then it would look normal...

By the by, I fully endorse any attempt at a consolidated PP Previews/rumours thread, rather than having all these individual threads scattered around.

The thing that bugs me is that it's pintle mounted at all. In the fluff for the War Wagon, the whole point of the Scattergun is that it's meant to clear infantry from climbing on the thing and suggests that the scatter gunner runs along the whole platform to do such. And rules wise it's not limited to either half of the front arc, but its placement clearly would limit it to the left arc.

Also:



Battle Mechanik looks ace.

Platuan, there's a thread for the Battle Mechanik Officer further down N&R (which kinda comes back to the need for a consolidated PP rumours/previews thread) - though I agree, he does look cool.

I'm half tempted to compared the weapon stats of his wrench with that of Darius, and if they match, Darius may be in for an upgrade

Oh, I know there's another thread, was just supporting the one thread movement in my own way.

Cool seeing a WIP of the War Wagon (along with other angles of it)! That thing is sweet

I always have a hard time visualizing PP models from the one angle they tend to show in pics. I just got scattergunners, having waited because the pics of them always make the sculpts look so flat. Then someone on here (I think malf) mentioned they were one of their favorite trollbloods sculpts... and now that I have them, I think they look great!

All that to say, that's why it's so nice to see something from another angle even in the WIP stage!

Hopefully the same can be said of their horses' armour...

While the pictures you'll see reposted on Forums will only show the one angle, if you hit up PP's site itself they usually have a 360 view for pretty much every new release anymore.

Those must be Pauldrons of Khador that he's wearing.

Man I could never get those to drop.

Ah, you're right! Thanks for that

It's a reference to this classic Flash game.

Haven't you heard? Trollkin always pass the Duchy to the left hand side. =3

Shouldn't be too hard to move the driver forward and the sides of the wagon out so the gunner can run from one side to the other, with the pintle being replaced with a jump seat. This would require another pair (or two) of bison to avoid looking unbalanced though, which would be why PP compromised on WYSIWYG.
