Relying on enemy souls could be a huge problem vs Cryx or Minions.

The cover for the next No Quarter Prime issue out in July. It’s all about the Crucible Guard.

Looks nice.
But the thing I don't get, is why does it always have to be a usable, in-game model?
And, why is it always a Merc or Minion model?

I cancelled my sub last month because of this. I was hoping to see more models that were for the hobby side.
And, I was hoping to see some more creative things like the con stuff - more factions, more cool models and takes on a theme.

The Eiryss is nice. But another Merc model is getting tired. I'd like to see what they can do with the other factions.

As a guess,

1. usable models sell
2. merc/minions have the widest uses

Spoiler:

Who's the big dude on the left cosplaying as Mortarion? Can't seem to see any card for him in the Crucible Guard deck.

The colours on the illustrations look much better than the paint job on the models.

They sure are. This "poster" is a much more attractive as a promo for a faction. maybe they will put it on some book cover... but a full size poster would be much better! In fact, it is tempting me to at least consider a model or two from this range.

Oh I understand that they're going for broadest appeal from the dedicated fan base.
I was just hoping that Minicrate would have been something for everyone that wasn't a dedicated fan.

Official concept for the Retribution of Scyrah Battle Engine The Trident

Dawnguard Trident: The Trident is a telekinetic Dawnguard manned flying tank. It has three slightly modified thresher cannons. The goal for this model is to bring a rather large amount of ranged fire power along side some utility. We have intentionally tied both of these ideas into the same resource making the player choose between utility or additional fire power. It should be durable but not incredibly so.

I would also like to mention that because of how the nature of the Retribution CID came about, this model will NOT follow the normal release pattern for CID cycles. Normally the new models are released about 3 months after the cycle. The Trident will be released farther out than that. We decided to test it's rules early and with these other options so players could talk about the interactions with this model in mind.

**malfred**

September minicrate, Eiryss2!

**Overread**

That's a beauty of a model!

**skullking**

So have PP officially said that Black anchor is main target for Faction 'secondary' battle engines? I assume this Dawnguard Trident will be on there, and we've got at least 3 on there currently.

It would make sense, as they may be somewhat of a niche item, but I like that they still make them.

Do we know if there will be more Gargantuans/Collossals on there? I love my Dragodile, but I need some sort of Giant Farrow Gargantuan (Either some kind of Giant Franken-Pig, or perhaps a Piggy version of the Skaven Hellpit Abomination?).

**AduroT**

It’s pretty much where anything huge based that’s not plastic will go from now on.

Except the Vulcan so far.

BAHI models have been:

Dracodile
Beer Wagon
Ghost Ship Skarre
Exemplar Church
Manowar chariots

https://store.privateerpress.com/black-anchor-heavy-industries

upcoming known BAHI that they're releasing rules for tomorrow:

Skorne Giant Ancestral thing

in the works/probably BAHI:

Druid floating well thing
Dawnguard trident spaceship thing

Still unsure:

Mackay/Railless for the crucible guard

**malfred**

Speaking of the new skorne battle engine...

**highlord tamburlaine**

Still wish it was in a more interesting pose, but what with them being giant animated statues, I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Is this going to be regular Privateer or Black Anchor?

**malfred**

Most likely BAHI

**LunarSol**

It's taller than the church apparently. Zero chance that's going to retail.

**StygianBeach**

I really don't know how to feel about the new Skorne Battle Engine. It is exactly a giant Ancestral Guardian.... and that is all.

I think I would like it more if it was stepping down from a podium or something. Something to sell its size like Talos from Jason and the Argonauts.

Is there any news on what the Chimney is for?
I wish it was held aloft in mimicry of the Statue of Liberty.

**malfred**

It has a ranged fire attack.

**StygianBeach**

Ah, okay. I was thinking it was just decoration and could serve as a type of Lighthouse.

**malfred**

Today Matt Wilson announced they would be doing an L5R minicrate?

First model is going to be from dragon clan (I forget the name) in january 2019

**Barzam**

That's quite the fancy helmet he's got on. It'd look quite nice transplanted onto a number of Skorne characters.

**highlord tamburlaine**

That's out of the blue...

I know I wouldn't be adverse to someone like Privateer doing modern sculpts of L5R stuff...

I thought it was a Skorne model to start with.

But FFG owns L5R now, and FFG does their own miniatures (of better quality than PP's stuff)...

**Albertorius**

...well. I knew FFG was doing something minis related, but I sure as hell didn't see that coming either. Now I'll have to dig up what does that mean for me... just great -_-

Matt Wilson was the lead artist for AEG when L5R launched and many of the early signature pieces were by him. So not completely unrelated. Still out of the blue.

Don't know if some attempt to grab so nostalgia from OG L5R fans? The L5R figures never grabbed me when AEG did their miniature game and doesn't look like these will either.

Looks like Togashi, the clan champion.

**LunarSol**

It's important to remember the PP guys are gamers. They get hooked on Hearthstone and Overwatch and whatever else. They hang out at cons and play games with the community. My guess is as much as anything else, they've just got the L5R bug going around the office during lunch breaks.
