Looks like the Legion Battle Engine with Circle Warbeasts. Some speculation
that the Griffon is a kind of Circle Orboros Warped beast.

The Octosquid thing is "just plain dumb". So it's a floating squid, with a built in wizard tower, and teeth that would make a dropbear cringe.

Looks like my legion army might just be saving ~$80....that griffon looks cool.

Okay now that's just ridiculous.

Privateer Press must be getting consulting from Seth MacFarlane for their creativity.

Pics of the concept art have been around. I'm curious as to
how the model will look, as always.

Not a huge fan of the cover - I don't particularly care for either Circle or Legiion, but I know at least the content on the inside should be good if Wrath was any indication.

Wow.

That's a bad cover. And a dumb-looking Octosquid. See, I would be hiding that thing, not placing it front and center.

Weird misfire. You know the book will have a half dozen better pictures inside.

Cover is ok. Certainly pops better than the Wrath cover, which was just a jumble at the size they used.

I think I like the Throne, it's got a nice creepy alien thing going on. If it works well with their Wrath caster I might pick one up.

The cover is nice. But I'm more interested in the griffon and the tharn looking wolf thingy in the bottom right.

It's the Cthulhu World Cup

I've got a small contingent of trollkin, how they are going to deal wth something like that, i don't know....

Might have to teach one of them how to run some troll jacks or something, LOL

Trolls will deal with it as they deal with everything:

Mulg eats it.

No, but since it's Warmafail, everything in it will blow everything already out off the table, guaranteeing that it and the models will sell no matter how awful they are.

Collectible PokeHordes, you gotta catch them all just to keep up with the Jones.

It's a bad cover, no doubt. I think it's because everything is too far away, in order to feature the battle engine too much. Basically a 180 away from the previous covers, which feature a 2-model conflict and a lot of background 'noise'.

Battle engines are not only not 'must haves', they barely rate 'nice but not necessary'.

If 40k was making battle engines, they would be $150 'failcost' and your army would HAVE to feature THREE of them or you'd be stupid. And still lose to Grey Knights.

But yessss, rage harder 40k fanboi! My gaming company produces a tight tournament ruleset and acknowledges the internet exists! Yours demands you continue to buy from failing one-person stores while your models melt in sunlight!

I smell either a troll, a GW fanboy or somebody who heard about the game from a friend of a friend of a friend who saw a game once. You can make a competitive army with the models available on the first prime book (with 1-2 added bits). Warmahordes has not really followed the MUST GET and even the insanely expensive battle engines are not displacing the power pieces from before wrath.

If Dominion is anything like Wrath, nothing will be broken and thing that were unsupported will get some lovin' in the form of UA/synergetic units/new locks' spells. Heck more than half the stuff in Wrath will not even threaten the current meta at all or the staple units in most competitive armies (with perhaps exception to Retribution who were a new army and still lacked a lot of supporting models).

Cover wise I'd hoped they would pick something like the minions cover with huge beasties tearing at each other instead of what looks like a battlefield shot and therefore way too busy to have a wow factor.

Looking forward to the Griffon. The cover is only of interest to me for the spoilers.

Look at Worglock's post history. Realize he is either a troll, a rabid 40K fanboi, or both. To his credit, he at least explained his viewpoint for once, even if he's totally wrong.

As for Battle Engines, do they have any special rule that makes them immune to Armor Piercing? Cuz if not, I can't wait for someone to put one of those on the table against my Cygnar. Two Hunters. Battle Engine? GG, waste of 9 points there.

They can't be slammed, pushed, thrown, knocked down, or made Stationary. Forest and clouds don't block LoS and they can be targeted in melee by shooting for not penalty. They can also be repaired like a jack.

Worglock, for someone who's vocally opposed to Warmahordes so much, you do seem to post in our threads a lot. Me thinks thou dost protest too much, my dear troll.

Not a waste.

Thyra can still give her Battle Engine Stealth

And the Wraith Engine can spend half the game Incorporeal.

Yes, they aren't on Small (+2 POW) medium or large (1/2 ARM) bases. Armour Piercing does nothing to Battle Engines.

Probably best to ignore Worglock mate.

So which mod do you have naked pics of? It is the only reason I can figure that they continue to let you troll and troll and troll without banhammering you...

Wow, you're so full or donkey poo its not even funny. Project GW much?

My prime and primal stuff is still just as competetive, and some moreso, then the new releases....

Ah, well that makes them more problematic. Still not exactly overpowered.

I actually like the octosquid, I think it's pretty cool. In regards to anyone else of the mindset that you have to buy the latest, biggest models to keep up, I play Cryx where our battle engine is a nice centerpiece on the display table. Granted, I think it's a pretty good looking model, but I haven't invested in one yet.

Don't have mine yet(getting it in 2 weeks for Scaverous Theme list being built up during a Journeyman League), but it seems useful if you're running a good amount of Incorporeal models.

I want the Stormstrider. I don't even care how good or bad it is. It's easily one of my favorite models ever.

Anyone that actually knows anything about Warmachine at all knows that The Prime units (The first WM book) are still the widest used and form the core of a good many armies to this day.

Not to mention that one can build lists of Prime only models and do just fine.
