I wonder if the Merc with the fellblade might be Zerkova. She appears to have a similar scar.

oooooo

Also another one dropped:



A very fancy Legion weapon wielded by ... Lanyssa? Maybe Eiryss?

I am intrigued by the idea of a rogue Zerkova.

Also, is it me or is the design of that base a bit different from standard?

That's just what they use for the 3D renders.

The doom reaver prisoner number is interesting. 102822. Probably the planned launch date for MK4?

I'm liking most of these. alexia and eiryss in particular.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when eiryss realised everything the retribution stood for and claimed to be true was a load of rubbish. Girl's got some apologies to make. :p

Primecast 7. Around 1:30 there's a WIP of the Khador Bison tracked artillery unit. I still want to see some Dusk previews before I start spending money, but Khador's stock is definitely rising.

I admit I don't really care for the Khador Bison, but so far everything else Khador has been pretty positive for me, so I'm sure I'll still grab one or two of them.

Grabbed a couple screen caps for posterity: Storm Legion Sharpshooter and Winter Korps Bison

This is literally just a NeoMechanica model

They're both descendants of Nemo's tech, so, yup.

The new manowar models look interesting...

I still kind of prefer the old ones though.

You have seen the new man-o-war?

Digging up pics, please hold. But also here's a new warcaster:

Kommander Valerii Savaryn
Warcaster

Possesses Battle Plans.

Can make both melee and ranged attacks in the same activation, and his sword, Headsman, has the Critical Decapitation special rule.

His Checkmate feat says, “Savaryn can use his Battle Plans three times this activation. Additionally, while in Savaryn’s control range, friendly Faction models ignore cover and concealment when making ranged attacks and their weapons gain Blessed and Damage Type: Magical.”

What is .."battle plans"?

Those are MoW 'Suppressors' and intended to look like exo-armor.

But in other news, the Roks continue to make me happy, I hope buying them doesn't require getting a ton of other stuff at the same time. Not a huge fan of how expansions are being rolled out ...

oooh...those suppressor are pretty....

Don't like those new Man O Wars - way to sleek and futuristic looking - particularly the helmets.

I do like those Everbats...

The bats are part of the Orgoth expansion box:

If i were playing warcaster or infinity instead of warmachine perhaps.

They are changing the entire setting to more scifi and less steam punk. complete turn off for me. the reason i like WM/H was because of the setting. it is the game i chose instead of WHFBs for my fantasy fix. the changes to the game mechanics are just another kick in the teeth.

Still no trousers?

Pants are an affront to their Infernal masters!

Personally, I'm really digging the way Khador's been modernized. It's definitely not sci-fi but closer to a dieselpunk look. These guys at 50 mm in the back feel like they'll look great with the Infantry chaff on the table.

They feel like something out of Dust Tactics to me. Old Man O' War perfectly captured the Khador mindset of "slap more armor on it." A shame because I feel like the rest of the new Khador stuff has been pretty on point.

Can't speak about dust tactics (never played) myself, but I much preferred the old models for men o war too. They just felt and looked better. The new heavy sci-fi leaning is a bit if a turn-off for me.

Those Suppressors lack the style and industrial look the old Man O War. I don't like the exo suit style and they don't look like a suit manned by a person who will die in steam!

Have to say the new elves are looking interesting. Some definite anime influences at play. The starter guy and the jacks are particularly nice imo.

Thanks for the heads up! They look good, strong Retribution styling with some WHFB Dark Elf flair.

Lots of 360 videos in PP's article, including details on what these things vaguely do in game.

Rules for a couple of the Warcasters and one of the jacks are up in the App. Should get the other jack sometime today.

Has the game had a 50 year timejump from steampunk to beyond dieselpunk?

10 year time jump, but thats plenty of time for cygnar to work on whatever designs nemo left behind and for espionage to get some of that to the other countries
the elves look similar to me, just not the color choices i'd have picked for marketing them, though i look forward to people going full Tron with them

It's probably because they are going with a somewhat Undead theme with this House of the Ios.
