Highly doubt it. The chest region is also a completely different design, as are the legs. You'd basically have a kit that builds two entire warjacks no matter what.

I think it can work.
the juggernaut/destroyer/Marauder changes alot.

The juggy/destroyer/marauder changes the arms and head. That's literally it. The Kodiak is basically the same chassis as the Juggernaut, with the addition of some studs on a shoulder. The Berzerker/Mad Dog is MASSIVELY different from the Juggernaut, in virtually every regard. I'd honestly expect a plastic version of them to more closely resemble Drago in general build.

Huh?

Ah, right then!

I meant from the old sculpts

While it would be different, it wouldn't be impossible - they'd have to have different shoulders, neck piece and plates and such a plastic conversion would certainly would still look fairly different from the metal berserker. That said, they changed the look of the classic mule and nomad a fair bit to make them into the same chassis for a kit, so there's precedent, but I figure they'd still want to make the 'zerker and Kodiak frames look fairly different.

It would involve more bits than they would have ever done before, however, on top of the significant changes to the frame, so unless it was part of their new plastic process that's in development, I don't think it's likely.

Possible, but unlikely. The only odd thing still is that it means they're introducing the Mad Dog on the berserker chassis before a 3rd Kodiak jack, which is odd enough to make me speculate on such things.

My thoughts exactly. Unless they're doubling up plastic kits in Reckoning? Or perhaps the art is a bit different from the jack?

Well, I tell you what- Privateer Press has found the symbol of the brand in the Trollkin. They seem to spark the imagination of all sorts of customers, and are unique enough to draw people into the game (not Space Marine-grade, but good nonetheless).

Not really. The image of warjacks from the main WM armies seems to be what people start this game for [I did]. Meanwhile Trollbloods were the worst faction looks-wise until Convergance showed up [IMO]

Still love eBorka mind.

Very good point. Warjacks do it for some, but Trollkin seem to be over and above it all.


Also, interesting to see he is on a large base. A lot of folks on the PP forums seemed to expect him to be on a huge base instead.

It's not like the bear is going to be THAT big.

That base looks too small for the bear. Makes me worried he's going to topple over. I might just have to put him on a bigger base, rules be damned.

Will he be metal, or probably a mix of resin and metal?

Trollkins were the ones who finally made me succumb to Privateer's games. Maybe it was the Gatormen that initially drew my interest, but I know my first PP figures were Trolls.

Mostly that. Looking at the proportions of Borka (who is on a medium base) and the bear it looked like the model was going to be about 4 inches nose to tail. At the time a bunch of people thought that it would have to be on a huge base as a result. They probably were excited about XERXISepic and his rhino, and also forgetting that PP doesn't like models that don't overhang their bases by 1-2 inches.

So we can expect Xerxes to be on a 40 or 50mm base so he can overhang it in every direction, right?　

Also, there should be at least one or two feet off the base to facilitate it toppling over.

So Borka looks to be on a 50mm base? Did they say how big Xerxes' rhino thing's base will be? 60? 80mm?

Xexes will be on the 120mm base, but the rhino's horn is ~50mm itself, and overhangs completely. He has to compete with the little elephants more the title of "Skorne Butt-Charge King" after all

Wait, It sounds like Reckoning will be character jack based.
Sooo....the beserker guy could be an upgrade kit.

Only if they make a plastic Berserker kit to upgrade. And the Mad Dog isn't a character, we already know that from High Command.

What are the odds that Menoth jack is a light and we're getting another round of Character lights? I mean except Mad Dog, since Khador don't do no light Warjacks.

Zero chance that jack is a light, that's a Guardian chassis jack (flags and shoulder bling are absolute give aways). We could be getting another light/character light as well, of course, but the Menoth jack previewed above is definitely a heavy.

It wouldn't be skorne if it didn't have to butt-charge - there are expectations to uphold you know!

Trollkin Bandits (which are apparently going to be different than the rumored "Trollkin Highwaymen"). Works in progress spotted being painted by PP staff at Lock'n'Load.

So those are Bandits? So still no info on the Highwaymen? How sure are we that they are different units?

Highwaymen are called out in a theme force, if memory serves, so they're definitely different things. Nifty looking models though.

Yeah, as said Highwaymen are called out in the theme force by name, where as these are definitely called "bandits", going by the official name on the concept art.

Five unique models is interesting.

I agree - and Hooray.

Are they metal or plastic, do we know? Might they be one part of a Highwaymen/Bandit combo box?

I loves me some trolls with guns. Big oversized guns naturally. Good to see at least one female in the mix.

Yea, I was going to say, is that the first non-character female trollkin in a unit? I can't recall ever seeing another.
