Sweet! Sneak poses, brim hat---so prowl.

Two guns, no melee weapon, so gunfighter

Guns don't have runes, so no ignoring stealth...which is a disappointment.

Guns larger than normal, so POW 12s.


Guess it depends on cost/RAT at this point.

Those looks like bandit. So, linked to Jarl Skuld in the fluff ?

Those are my kinda trolls. Slowly but surely I'm going to assemble me the most rootinest, tootinest, ragtag, nogood, doublecrossin', Trollkin varmints this side of the Sierra Madres.

I shall name the leader "El Guapo."

Would you say he has a plethora of guns and ammunition?

I wish there was some Rhulic love. I wouldn't mind another Solo. Epic Gorten would be cool as well.

This is the book with the Colossal and Tactical Arcanist Corps, it's just they got previewed and released months ago

Yeah. Rhulic's got stuff pretty steadily. It's not enough for the
Rhulic-only players, but they still get a steady stream. Then if
that's not enough, they also get access to the rest of the merc
stuff via contracts, so new merc releases means the potential
for new stuff to use with your rhulic caster that counts as faction.

Non-rhulic mercs only got moorclaw and nobody is excited about him.

Minion players on the other hand shot his stock way up once we saw Battle Engines.

This art looks great... I don't know if the miniature can live up to it, though!

That piggy reminds me too much of the original Goreshade. Same sort of pose. Of course Carver is in a similar pose too.

I want my pigs ready for action, not just standing around looking cool! Dang hipster pigs!

hm...pig with a doom blade....that should prove interesting

Is he Khador or Thornfall?
I'd imagine the latter, but i would hope he's be able to be used in both.
Do we think this is a reg. sized Farrow, or a new warbeast?
If he is reg. sized, solo, or unit?
If he is a warbeast, that is ONE BIG HONKIN SWORD!

Doom Reaver Farrow warbeasts would be quite a nasty combination.

Could just be concept art. Actual pose could be different.

I think they said quite reccently, that there will be no Minion WARBEAST with reach anytime soon. So this is either a solo (quite probably since Legion just got a melee character solo) or a unit.

I guess he's going to be a character solo with an interesting background.

Or rather, almost assuredly will be different for better or worse...

Any news or olds on the new Cephalix faction rumoured

I hope so badly that this happens. I love those miniatures and being able to play them would be something of a dream more than a dissapointment

Admittedly they probably aren't going to rewrite the rules for the current units but they might gain ability with synergy. It's possible that they'll get OP casters to balance them out

By the fact they only have one caster they're looking a lot like a Cryx tier list without the tiers

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2014/02/warmachine-cephalyx-mercenary-contract.html

This may be everything I've ever wanted from a faction

The stats seem heavily skewed, putting emphasis on damage boxes and rules like tough rather than raw statistics. It takes pretty much everything I loved about Cryx with nicer miniatures

Has anyone heard more about this very interesting looking UA

Is it a bit like Jonas Murdoch only you can take faction models rather than mercs, in which case it'll need some diabolical balancing; or is it an in game possession thing?

No new rumors yet. Probably saving things for the lead up to
Lock n' Load in June.

He's a solo named Maximus. We actually knew about him before the art thanks to the PP podcast.

Half hoping that this might mean that not only do we get Borka on a bear, but that the Longriders are Troll light cavalry.

That's a big bear to carry a Troll, especially if its Borka.

I just hope that does not mean Brun lost Lug.

Should have some big brass balls hanging off the front of the saddle, or under the bridle on the bear. Borka wouldn't have it any other way!

Can't wait to see a sculpt of it!

So, buffalo was not big enough, let us get even more muscle ?

I just hope he's not jumping over something ala Stryker3.

borka on a polar bear...........glorious
though i already need to work on a better way to store my trolls, and that presumably huge model will not help

Or Gorka on a Grolar.

epic Bearka.

It's obviously a Brolar bear.

Probably my 2 favourite warlocks just got awesome new rides. I'm...I'm so happy.

I like to think that it's a new bear every single battle that Borka drunkenly steals....from a bear store? I'm not super clear on how Troll society works.
