The very epitome of cataphract stoicism, strength, and martial prowess, Tyrant Vorkesh is veritable juggernaut of armored destruction. As Vorkesh cleaves through enemy after enemy, his deadly accuracy with his weapon, the Arm of Rahal, inspires the cataphracts around him to strike with the utmost skill and precision, while his sheer force of will shields them from enemy magic.

Jonas Murdoch is a tough-as-nails trencher captain who can take even the worst mercenary scum and whip them into soldiers any Cygnaran officer would be proud to lead. Under his command, a mercenary unit functions as part of the army of Cygnar.

Top one rubbish. Weapon doesn't suit the armour style, as the most he could manage is a feeble tap.

Bottom one shows promise for other games. Certain Han Solo feel to him. Might just be me.

Top one:
I didn't like the art work...the model is ok, but I agree with Mr Mystery about the weapon.

Murdoch:
Cool, not a fan of the pistol though, but that's it.

**Kanluwen**

It's actually not a pistol that Murdoch has. It's a SMG

**Aduro**

The second one makes me want to convert a Merc unit into the A-Team.

**His Master's Voice**

Murdoch is the first mini from PP in a long time that I actually like. Swap the pistol fro something sleeker, or maybe for a second knife and you've got one bad ass dude.

**MajorTom11**

Tyrant Vorkesh/Magnus the Red? Looks like it would be a good place to start if you wanted to convert the cyclopean ginger anyways lol.

**Maurin**

Tyrant's shoulder pads are a bit over the top for my tastes. I'll agree with previous posters that the weapon doesn't seem right. I'd love to see him with a beefy mace or flail

**Aduro**

While it is an odd weapon, an mace or flail wouldn't work so well due to him hanging out with these guys;

Hard to inspire a unit to do better with their spears when you're not using one yourself.

**Mr Mystery**

See, those infantry are actually alright. Just his halberd thing....doesn't look like he could actually swing it, and as I mentioned earlier, any thrusts would like be quite feeble. More a gentle prod.

Perhaps he irritates the enemy away? Other than that, the model is actually pretty cool

**Sanctjud**

They remind me of Tauren Warriors with epic gear lolz.
PS, he has spell ward for cetrati.... that means Defender's WardLESS Cetrati... :-(

Well, at least I don't have to deal with purchasing them.... mainly because the Imperial Executioners don't use them

.

**Mattlov**

That Skorne just has ridiculous armor. Ridiculous even for PP. So ridiculous I think I actually like it.

You're kidding, right? Those pads are too big for Tauren. Definitely an orc.

**Ghiest1**

Hello,
I have to agree with the above about his shoulders, they are terrible, no way to move in them, and they look like they were cut out of a cauldron, way to thick at the top.

Regards,
Carl

**Death By Monkeys**

Lovin' Murdoch. Now I just need a Merc unit for him to lead for my Cygnar.
