I do hope it's got a good stat line. A really strong rhulic warjack would be nice to see. I find most of them a bit underwhelming.

**RiTides**

But not the driller, right? That thing is deadly...

**RoninXiC**

Spd 4 no reach is not deadly...
It's nice since it's only 6 points. The driller is one of the weakest jacks in the game..
Redline for Durgen and feat++4str from gorten are the sole reasons they see any tablet time.

**AduroT**

Colossal will be Speed 3, because it a dwarf thing.

They're like Protectorate jacks; kind of shoddy on their own, but add some support and they turn into little waddling engines of death. Put in Thor for boosted damage over five attacks, and you're already at the stage where you can shred a colossal with decent damage rolls. Ragman, Gorman or Aiyana & Holt can crank up that damage further, Lanyssa can let it charge for free and at +2 speed, etc, Gorten can use his wall to deliver them into charge range, etc. Drillers can do one heck of a lot of damage, and can easily be traded for much more expensive heavies or colossals.

**Cyporiean**

I want to like (love) that Rhulic Colossal.. but I'm just not feeling it.

Annnd... you can do all of that with any other jack in the game (besides Thor). Add those mercs to any other faction which ALL have MUCH better jacks AND additional support (choir?)
Drillers are the best we have.. which is just not that great.

New plastic Flameguard! I'm gonna have to get these, lot less fiddly than the metals... even though I have the metals >.>

Looks about the same, but slightly different poses and in plastic, which is awesome. Also, they've changed the helmet on the leader, and I much prefer this new look.

Also, repackaged Idrians into a full unit:

Not huge news, as they've been repackaging things into max units for a while, but it's good to know.

How less fiddly will they actually be?
You will have to shave off mold lines on the entire model, like with the Fennblades and Bastions.
And likely have to hot cold treat the spears to make them straight.

But really, the mold lines on the PP plastics really put me off them, if there is a choice to buy metals.

**Laughing Man**

How can you get less fiddly than the metal Flameguard? They're one piece sculpts, and the spears are typically partially integrated into the cloak.

One of the three sculpts is one piece body and spear. The other two have hands to pin or handle with care.

Can't wait to get Eiryss3. Thanks for posting.

**RiTides**

Ironmonger Mercenary Minion Trollkin Character Solo... got it!

And that doesn't even include his name, just the adjectives necessary to know what it technically is in-game

Ironmonger is part of his name, not his type.

**RiTides**

Okay, I stand corrected

Name: Raluk Moorclaw, the Ironmonger
Type: Mercenary Minion Trollkin Character Solo

So much better

**spiralingcadaver**

Eiryss looks... huffy.

The skarlock's cool, though confused why it's holding a Circle spear, the trollkin is decent- that one will just come down to rules (regarding any interest in buying it)

**Laughing Man**

Lazy people, not posting unit descriptions...

Skarlocks serve as extensions of the will of the lich lords and other generals of Cryx, and skarlock commanders are no exception. Reanimated to command simpler mechanithralls and bile thralls at the behest of their masters, skarlock commanders harvest the souls of those they slay. Soldiers assailed by a skarlock commander and its thralls are tormented by the sight of their comrades brutally slaughtered, only to have their souls used as fuel to power the commander’s dark magic.

The mechanik known as Raluk Moorclaw has a knack for fixing complex machinery, but his heart hungers for combat.

Gaspy is ex-Circle, and uses a similar spear. It's probably meant to be evocative of his weapon.

Yes, metal! Here's hoping her heads are separate bits and not just an add on cowl. PP will be getting a nice chunk of bits money from me.

Skarlock UA? For Biles? TELL ME MORE!

They had to make it a UA for something that Cryx players already use, or else it would have been completely ignored.

**Enigma Crisis**

Squeee!!! Eiryss3 I can't wait to own that model and play her on the field!!

**Grimtuff**

Sooo. I presume the Trollkin guy is a Jack Marshal. Hopefully he'll have some good drives to justify the novelty of having a 'Jack in a Hordes army.

**RiTides**

The crossover of trolls into mercenaries is never something I was a fan of :-/. I wish he would have been a minion (for Hordes), instead...

He is. He's both. It says mercenary minion solo.

**Wehrkind**

That would be pretty sweet. I can think of a few good uses for a Mule in my Circle lists

**AduroT**

I really wanna know what that Skarlock does.

**balsak_da_mighty**

I was excited about the news of a Dwarf colossal. But after seeing that thing not so much anymore. Why does it have 6 legs and those lobster looking claws? Glad I don't have to spend the money now.

The crossover existed before Hordes did, Boomhowler's has been around forever. And he is a Minion, his card might even be a Minion one, like Alten or Lanyssa.
