I did an Extreme Behemoth back in the day, used the extra giant axe from it for Beast.

A thought popped in to my head today regarding the new Khador Tanker units.

Are they going to be usable in Company of Iron? Company of Iron says no large based units, but I thought that was more in regards to warbeasts.

As far as I know, the Tankers will be the first large based non- warbeast unit. Maybe they'll be an exception?

Well, the artillery is not allowed in Company of Iron either, despite the man-sized rule, so I don't think they will get a pass.
It's not like the Thumper Crew would be particularly OP at CoI either.

All the cavalry units are large based in warmachine* , and the tankers each fight independantly , not as a unit.
On the other hand they're allowing (some) large based warjacks/beasts for the factions that lack smaller light ones (namely Khador and the Cephalyx) so maybe
*Grymkins have a unit of "cavalry" on hobby horses that are on small bases

Does anyone know when the new man-0-war Black anchor battle engines are going to be put into war room? I realize their rules are available, but they're usually so good about having stuff in the app right when it's released. I was surprised they didn't have a card for it in the box. I realize they want you to use the app, as it can be updated if rules change, but I like marking damage on both, as the app tends to crap out every so often.

All that being said, the model is great! I pick up the dragodile as well, and it if fabulous also.

Edit: Ha ha! They just put them in today...

Possible sneak peak at eilish?

They've mentionned it would come out later this year so yeah I'd call it confirmed
Checking it again, they mention around October

Who's Eilish?

A mercenary that came out with the first of the new version of PP magazine, No Quarter Prime.
He works for any faction and has a quite potent skill set, and was only avalaible with the magazine

Thanks!

I googled "No Quarter Prime", since I must've missed that development, and got this from the PP site here:

We’re going to be doing things differently with No Quarter Prime in the latter half of 2018, so we are temporarily suspending new subscriptions until we are ready to put our new procedures into place. Stay tuned!

Seriously, my gaming group was ALL IN on warmachine, but since the end of MK2 I feel they just can't do much of anything right... I have liked some of their new sculpts more than previous (Dracodile!) although that was a very low bar before... but everything else, man what are they doing?!

It really is like a bizarro world where PP and GW have (in large part) switched places...

You guys never saw the Eilish figure?

I prefer dynamic updates to GW.

That's the thing, though - GW updates frequently now, too...

Is there any explanation on the No Quarter Prime not allowing new subscriptions?

I've been out of the game for a while, but honestly these are something that could bring me back. Not in that godawful colour, though.

Are there any other pics of this lot from a different angle?

You can see renders here and a few more here.

Thank you kindly, sir. Yep, I could be totally all about these. And out next month by the looks. Time to clear the painting table.

Including for new model development?

A better look at Eilish. I guess Dallas shared this one somewhere?

I guessing they are changing how No Quarter is going to be designed and focused - likely makes sense to stop subscriptions if they are changing the core of the product. Might be something as simple as "its digital only now" or could be that they are going to change its focus. Perhaps even splitting it into two different magazines (weekly and monthly - although if I recall GW tried that and it failed)

No Quarter Prime is a great redo, but its main problem is that if you don't care about the faction being featured, the issue is kind of a wash. That would largely be okay, but they're also doing a really nice fluff recap, so you wind up picking up issues for that only to realize the asking price is pretty steep when you don't care about all the backstory about the new theme they're working on.

New sneak peak just put out by PP.

Ooh, that's the female solo for CG, isn't it? I like the look of her.

Has the battle box contents for the CG been confirmed yet?

Yeah that's probably Alyce in her mutated form
If you mean battle box as in the starters for other factions , there won't be one similarly to the grymkins or Convergence.
The big army box is listed as containing
37002 Aurum Adeptus Syvestro (metal/resin)

37008 Combat Alchemists (3) (metal/resin)

37011 Vindicator (plastic)

37011 Suppressor (plastic)

37013 Crucible Guard Rocketmen & CA & WA (14) (metal/resin)

37017 Trancer (2) (metal)

37020 Dragon’s Breath Rocket Weapon Crew (3) (metal/resin)

37021 Crucible Guard Assault Troopers (5) (metal/resin)

41014 Gorman di Wulfe (metal)

Do we know if the Crucible box is going to be in plastic like the others, or will it go straight to resin and metal like most current releases?

Cool, thanks mate.

I assume resin. The plastic is getting far less common.

The jacks are probably still sprue plastic?

The details are listed in those links I posted earlier. Basically, everything is metal/resin except for the heavy warjack (Toro/Suppressor/Vindicator), which is listed as plastic (most likely sprue plastic?).

Heavy Warjacks, Colossals, and some Gargantuans have been moving to styrene plastic of varying quality. Everything else have been moving more towards resin with metal doodads, and their resin is usually a higher quality.
