That might be the first one I sub for. I like it better than the original Warlord.

Brigands are definitely something worth taking 2 units of anyway.

I don't want it (not interested in pigs) but that's a really great sculpt! Just makes me still wonder why they have to be fixed limited ranges - such a waste of a great sculpt. Hope a lot of people get to pick her up!

Yeah - that's why I find Minicrate to be such bullcrap. I didn't mind when they were just cheesecake variants of stuff. But minis like this and the totem huntress offer nice variety to armies that could use it, so it's beyond stupid to only have them available for a month. Giant waste.

I'll be really pissed when we end up seeing a new fellcaller for the Trolls. I hate the bald headed bellower. Such a stupid looking model.

I've always wanted a female version done up to modern sculpting standards (or more in line with current Troll's sizes). Give her a hard rocking guitar/ lute, have her throwing up some horns and go let her hang out with Borka and bang some heads.

Caine0:

That's part of the 15th anniversary stuff, right?

Remind me who else is getting redone as journeymen.

Looks good. If I wanted to play Caine I'd be tempted to use that figure for just about all the other iterations.

Caine, Sorscha, Severius and Deneghra

Caine is one of those characters that is a little lacking in his various alternate forms. He's pretty much always just that guy in a coat with two pistols.

That's Caine ? Wow. That's disappointing, to me. He doesn't feel special at all. I mean, he looks like a disposable grunt from a warmachine troop.

In fairness, its Caine0 from back when he WAS little more than a disposable grunt.

Spot the odd one out why not Kreoss?

And Stryker, in that case.

Oops. That’s true.

It’s not just me that’s being hard done by.

Although there already is a model for Journeyman Stryker, albeit without rules.

They were all in prime together.

Just as long as Xerxis gets his just rewards come Hordes' anniversary, I can truly be happy... Hexeris just got a resculpt and there's enough Makedas already on the market.

Curious how Sorscha will turn out. Deneghra too. We just got a resculpt of her somewhat recently, I'm wondering if the journeyman version will be a bit less corrupted looking.

Now if they'd just get around to redoing guys like Terminus or Kreoss 2 who are serious eyesores in the collection....

Deneghra's artwork is on page 3 pf this thread, and like the Caine0's model it seems pretty close to the "original"
Sorscha's artwork was shown on a video on 04/18, I'll try to grab it when I get to

What on god's green earth are all those Warmachine models? (I know the stuff in the back is the new Monpoc)

Are those Jetpack Trenchers?!? This MIGHT get me back into Warmachine if Magnus gets access to that stuff.

EDIT: Not Cygnar, Crucible Guard Apparently with the newer Everblight Cav.

Those are the Crucible Guard, a new faction (ala Convergeance and Grymkin, a self contained ‘mini’ faction).

With some Legion of Everblight thrown in for good measure, no? If those purple Centaur guy are Crucible Guard rather than Everblight then I don't understand nothing at all!

Yeah those are Everblight.

Wha...? Another mini faction? That's crazy. Anywhere I can read up on them?

EDIT: I see the concepts for them at the beginning of the thread. These dudes are sick. They have a lot of Cygnar look to them too which is interesting. Kinda like a mix between Cygnar and Khador.

They're doing a mini faction each year.

Such is their stated goal at least.

2 for 2 so far!

Plus the 2 they did before they committed to it (Convergence and not technically a faction, but a similar deal Cephalyx). There's been one of these big splash releases every year for the last 4 years.

I think it's really cool that they do these mini factions. As long as they have enough pieces to function, they make nice alternatives to the now bloated main factions.

As much as I wasn't a fan of the Grymkin aesthetics, it still was an interesting addition to the game. And having the old witch as a dual faction caster was a nice touch. I hope they continue doing stuff like that, as it's incentive for 'main faction fanboys' to pick up some alternative army models, since they already have a caster for it.

I'd still love to see more of the mini warcaster/lock solo characters with character beasts/jacks again. I think they're a really fun addition to hordes, and would lend themselves to some really off the wall warbeasts and crazy custom jacks.

I was kind of hoping we'd see an upgraded sculpt of 09 since Sorscha's got her new clothes coming.

At least with these new themed sub- forces we have opportunities to expand current factions but come up with a "new" army.

I'm totally going to try an Armored Korps once the new models drop, regardless of how effective they are or not.

Do you mean an 'All Man0war' list with the new sorcha? I've been wanting a Man-0-war centric caster for ever, I'm very pumped about all the Russian Humpty Dumpty upgrades we're getting next month.

I would love a 'Colossal' upgrade for Beast 09. With a ungodly HUGE axe! I keep debating on whether to rip my 09 model apart and add his character pieces to my extra 'Extreme' Juggernaut, but I'm hesitant to do it.

Heck yeah, reading over tin can Sorcha she's practically begging to try running a pure man o war army.

Don't care how effective it is, but I'm totally doing it.

20 points of manowars and mechaniks gets you a free solo, that's not a bad deal. Especially with the fact that the new Tankers are considered Manowar solos.
+1 on repair rolls as well, and supposedly each humpty dumpty unit gets advance move as well.

I've thought about doing the extreme 09 too.

I made a 75pt list with that in mind. Got most everything in, except for the new chariot (which isn't in the app yet), and had to take min units for 2 of the man0war squads. Looks fun, but slow.

I've thought about doing the extreme 09 too.

I have an extreme black Ivan, but he was a bit easier, since he came as add on pieces. Since beast is already a big metal model, I'd have to chop him up a bit. And considering I rarely play him, it didn't seem worth it.
