NO, I dont want to start legion too, you cant make me PP

**highlord tamburlaine**

Stop it Privateer! I've been able to steer clear of Nephilim for the draconic division of my reptilian army, please don't make me start with this new one!

I like the pose, and I've always liked the Nephilim's armor as it stands. This guy seems to have a lot more of that dragon blood/ energy/ whatever it's called flowing through him.

I like.

This was from a week ago or so, but I don't think anyone linked it, so I'll just put it here - the concept art for Gobber Pirates, unlocked through the league:

Tiny tiny harpoon guns! I suppose that means they'll have that Drag, though I wonder if you'd really want to drag enemies *closer* to a gobber unit, considering how generally poor they are in melee.

Pretty sweet, though is that a blighted snake, or just some weird multi-eyed snake I wonder?

Also, this means that Minions are getting two casters, both female this round - that's pretty awesome

Edit: Also, the PP twich feed from their con is currently live: http://privateerpress.com/livestream

**greenskin lynn**

it looks like a tiny version of that one snake, the one that comes with the elf girl with a flute

**Laughing Man**

Its an undead tatzylwyrm. Different species than Skaryth, same genus essentially.

Lost his cod piece, gained a bear. Bearka in 2015!

**jah-joshua**

i would trade a codpiece for a bear anyday!!!

actually, the silly codpiece is the only thing that has kept me from painting Borka, even though he is my favorite Hordes character...
i will definitely be painting eBorka!!!

thanks for sharing

Borka is all about sowing his seed across the the kriels.

The cod piece is essentially a part of his character.

Now he has a more virile symbol of fertility

**Maddermax**

I've gotta say I'm excited about the new Protectorate flamethrower jack

Arc node, Heavy flamer, some sort of Magic mace - Should be fun

With innate Stealth? No. With spells, it can happen. And on warbeasts too.

Now I need to paint up a unit with an red-robed, unhelmeted leader...

**gunslingerpro**

A new Kodiak chassis? I suppose that'll be the next heavy kit for Khador with the Grolar.

Likely won't be released for some time.

**sing your life**

I wants my official reliant model, hopefully it'll be a plastic kit with the option for a stormclad.

If you're talking about the "Mad Dog", it actually looks like it's the Berserker chassis, rather than the Kodiak. Whether that means two Khador jacks are coming out, or some multi-kit that covers both the Kodiak and Berserker types, I dunno.

Yeah, it's almost certainly going to be another 3-option kit, like the other two heavy kits. The Protectorate jack above, for instance, is definitely the 3rd jack for our Guardian/Indictor kit, which I'm looking forward to. I expect the third jack for the Reliant/Stormclad kit will be revealed sometime soonish (next few months at most).

Funny enough I had The Creep do that when I saw it

From Sketch201 on Privateer's boards regarding Bearka:

WOW!! Our favorite drunken brawler just got really interesting in his new incarnation!!!

SPD - same as Longrider
MAT - 1 more than SPD
RAT - Same as before
DEF - Same as before
ARM - 1 higher than before
Fury - Same
Beast Points - 1 less than speed

Still has the bombs
Trauma got Slams on a crit!!!
Mount attack (same POW as Longriders) with crit brutal

Has Assault and Combat Rider

Got an interesting Field Marshall that makes his battlegroup immune to cold (more on this later)

SPELLS:

Battle Charged - Counter charge for the battlegroup!
Frost Hammer - spray that deals cold damage + crit stationary, pretty decent considering it can effectively ignore some of your own stuff (see next spell)
Snow Shroud - gives unit concealment and immune: cold

FEAT (this is BONKERS!)

Everything in his control area gets Stealth, and anything that hits a cold immune model with a melee attack gets stationary after the attack!!!! (reference the Field Marshall and Snow Shroud spell)

So having seen our new Cav caster, I am a very happy Troll player! His lists are going to be BRUTAL the turn after the feat. Put the immune cold spell on your tarpit (Fenns, Warriors, anything disposable) and make the enemy come at you (they can't really shoot you that turn!), then anything that hits your front lines gets stationary (or countercharged by Mulg!). Fun times!

**malfred**

Haha, screq you esorscha!

**AduroT**

Bearka!

**AgeOfEgos**

I'll try him with the MK. Unless they have cheap weapon master spam, pretty much makes him immune at getting one rounded. In fact, double Warder MK could be kind of nightmarish for certain armies.

Dunno though, at first blush, he looks kind of boring compared to Borka1.

**B0B MaRlEy**

That feat would have been great on an Ezerkova

**Alpharius**

As a beginner, and a Khador player, and a fan of Sorscha, 'immune: cold' makes me...angry.

**frozenwastes**

I'm glad that hard counters to other casters are rare, but this is a pretty severe hard counter to sorscha. It's like eDenny hard countering eVyros' feat.

**AgeOfEgos**

Alpharius wrote:

Yeah, it's like the guy that designed him just got his face stomped in by Freezing Grip or something....then stood in front of the whiteboard and said "Ok, what can I do about this..."

Still, I think he's pretty boring. The MK interaction will need to be playtested, as it makes him nigh unkillable for a round, then fixes his MAT 5 the following round..but still, doesn't feel like Borka.

I would like to think he can be paired with Runes (as I think Khador is their weakest matchup) but that still leaves you naked for Cryx coverage, as I find Runes 'meh' at best against Cryx. Also not sure what Borka2 would do against a standard Menoth list.

I'm just worried, whatever his puzzle ends up being unlocked, it's going to consist of staying 2nd line, spend 2 to upkeep spells, dump one in the stone, camp 2 and wait until a good Feat turn. Which is pretty much the opposite of Borka (which, to be fair, is probably the most enjoyable damn Warlock I've ever played).

**Maddermax**

There are currently a few hard stops to Stationary based casters, but to be fair that's why there's multi-caster formats, to prevent the hard-counter thing. I mean, Menoth has a hard counter just by using the Covenant in any army, so a single caster based immunity shouldn't be too much of a worry, it's just another thing to look out for. In the same way, my High Reclaimer has real trouble against anyone who can see through clouds (creating clouds is his thing), which means Ret and Legion are basically hard counters, and there's usually one caster in most armies that also do that. It doesn't make him a bad caster though, just one where you have to be aware of who your opponent might be.

Also, interesting thing to note on eBorka is that the feat gives stealth to everyone, not just friendlies, which is interesting. Obviously it's only an issue if Borka feats early, because of how long the feat lasts for, but it is interesting - I wonder if that was a typo by someone

As for playing him, well he's a personally powerful cavalry caster with a spray, an assault bomb and crit slam, and has a full counter-charging battlegroup. Perhaps not as fun as Borka1, yeah, but few casters are. I think setting up ride-by strafing runs and counter-charging axers/mulg (reach helps a lot) could be a lot of fun.

I can see that happening the berserker can totally use an upgrade and fit with the kodiak

That'd be very weird, as the 2 chassis have a bunch of differences, and the older Berzerker chassis should be smaller and thinner than the newer Juggernaut one, and a good deal less bulky.
I guess (if it sticks to the old artworks) it could work with different smoke exhausts and shoulders, though to be honest the whole backplate/hunch is different
