Wehrkind, just a quick note that I will be ordering some cards from PP next month, so remind me this time to ask you if you need anything before putting it in

Stuff like this and the Journeyman convinces me that they really need to go back and re-sculpt more of the older Warcasters. They've really come a long way in a pretty short amount of time.

Yes, please. Both Deneghra's are terrible. Give her the Goreshade treatment... his new mini is incredible. Haley could also use a re-do.

Generally speaking, their portal service is top notch. However, my one bad (I wasn't upset more than amused) experience;

Ordered a couple of blisters, missing an arm and a card.
Fill out portal.
Week later, get the arm, no card.
Send a picture of the original ticket, open a ticket stating "Thanks for the arm--still missing the card though"
Week later, get the wrong card.
Send a picture of the original ticket, next to the second ticket, open a new ticket stating "Thanks for the arm and the card, that's the wrong card though"
Week later, get the right card.

What made me chuckle, was on my 3rd ticket--whomever had processed it highlighted the card name, drew a line under, drew a circle around it and had two arrows pointing to it with all caps stating "PLEASE GET THIS CARD AND DOUBLE CHECK IT PLEASE!!"

I'd quite like a Darius who doesn't half seem to go to battle in a toilet bowl, if any caster is being re-made.

Their new lock and load exclusive which can be purchased on their webstore this weekend:

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/mercenaries/privateer-exclusives/gobber-drudges

Gobber drudges, their bodies broken and minds bent to the will of the cephalyx, can take the place of drudges in a Cephalyx Mind Bender & Drudges unit or serve as fun and characterful additions to your model collection! Debuting at Lock & Load GameFest 2014, these Privateer Exclusive models are also available from the Privateer Press Online Store during the event, June 6-8.

So, a unit of three identical models. They are fun and cool and all, but seriously, PP, what with the identical twin syndrome!

They're not a full unit in fairness, but models that will replace some of the existing models in a six/ten man unit.

When is this coming out? I need a Psycho Mantis mini.

No, they're meant to be supplemental models to an already existing unit.


You're not supposed to have a unit of just gobber drudges all in the same pose. They're an expansion of poses for the unit above.

Those gobbers got swag...if it wasn't so expensive to get them mailed to Aus, I'd pick them up. Ah well, theres always the second hand market. Because they aren't available after L&L, right?

That said, I am out on the cephalyx. I'm not a fan of the bent spine drudges, I dislike their grey pvc plastic for small models, their metal solo prices are terrible and their monstrosities are based on the same pose with no option for customization. I drastically modified my Menoth heavies so they could be in different poses like running, bracing for shooting, swinging their melee weapon and I just don't see the potential for anything like that with the monstrosities. They're too samey.

So instead, I'll grab Nightmare to finish off all the options for the NQ eDeneghra list. and be happy with my metal cephalyx and completely avoid the overpriced solos and crappy plastic models.

The existing metal drudges are also getting redone in plastic with the same bent spine poses I don't like. So I won't be getting another unit of those guys:

All of the convention exclusives are subject to the "As Matt Wilson wills it" clause.

Will they show up at the later conventions? As Matt Wilson wills it.

Cheers. I'll hold onto hope then.

Im not sure if lega, but Dozer an smigg.
I was planning on a Gunnbjorn and blizter army, this just makes it sweeter.

Uh yeah...RAT 9 Bombers and Warwagons under eGrim is going to do some work...

MAT 5 makes me sad but he's 9 points, which is much cheaper than I thought. Plus under eGrim's feat turn he'll be RAT 8 if aiming/animus/mark target with arcing fire. That plus a Bomber (or two) will be a pretty big "No no" zone for enemy casters, whatever they be camping.

4 POW 16's with boosted damage at RAT 9? Yes please.

What about an 18 inche gun because bjorn and impalers have snipe?

Everyone likes Troll players! It's impossible not to.

Well, can't use Impaler or else you sacrifice his (terrific) animus on the bombers. However, eGrim's feat grants snipe (+ Mark Target) so really puts the Bombers into the "We don't care, we'll hit it" zone. And yeah, Bjorn can throw his upkeep snipe on him too.



I'll have to math it out but if I'm thinking right...cast snipe from Gunjborn on him 1st turn, put Rush from an Axer on him...have him trample..then cast his own animus on himself...then shoot 18" down the field. That's;

7" deploy
10" trample
18" shot (You reroll for the deviation distance/direction you want)
10" enemy deploy

Which means, you just need to scatter 3" (with a reroll!) to start clipping things first turn. Warwagon can do it too (without using Rush no less and a 5" AOE). If they have advanced deploy, you're going to hit them. Will be pretty funny to do against something (once).

Pretty cool. Do anyone know what is on the other side of the card?
It is nice, but it does not provide what Gunnbjorn really lacks : something to deny Stealth/Could effect/other “you just cannot shoot me” stuff.

Boosted blast damage will help vs. Stealth.

Well, not much against beasts or jacks with stealth. Too much ARM anyway!

+2 to attack rolls on the Blitzer is great against stealth models if you get close.

+2 to AoE attacks will also negate concealment from forests/clouds, so that's something. You are right though that stealth heavies will remain an issue.

Gunnbjorn's problem usually is not about hitting high defense (Guided fire takes care of that), it is usually all those “You cannot target/automatically miss” ability that are the problem. If the models are behind those forests and could effect, +2 is not going to help you in the slightest.

That's very true, though short of granting Hunter or Eyeless Sight there wasn't much that was going to solve the problem of models on the other side of LoS blocking terrain and clouds. Stealth isn't so bad so long as it isn't on an Arm 16+ model when you have boosted blast damage and rerollable scatter.

Then again, I might just be assuming everyone hates blasts as much as my Arm 11 Blood Trackers. Are Arm 16+ Stealth infantry fairly common in some lists?

Saw this posted on Muse on minis

What is it?

And where exactly is the head/face?!?

That's the new character nephilim(sp) for legion.
I THINK the head is on the right side in the middle. You can make up the mouth.

It's head is right in the middle of the shoulders coming straight out like all nephalim. He's got some funky bladed helmet on.

It's the character beast for Rhyas/Saeryn.
