    New Warmachine and Hordes previews

    June 25th, 2008

    Privateer Press has posted three new previews of upcoming Warmachine and Hordes miniatures.

    Anastasia di Bray
    The master spy Anastasia di Bray fights the Khadoran occupiers of Llael and their collaborators with a fury fueled by loss. Traitors and the invasion took everyone she loved, and now she aids the Resistance in a war that is as much personal as patriotic. The information she steals can spell the doom of armies, and any who would interfere with her missions die silent deaths on her blades.

    Stannis Brocker
    Stannis Brocker cares for little beyond coin and battle. He is utterly disinterested the reasons behind any specific conflict and makes no apology for decades spent dealing death and misfortune. Commanding ranks of Steelhead mercenaries, Brocker rides to battle as if from an ancient era, when such men conquered and created nations with the edge of their blades.

    Kaya the Moonhunter and Laris
    Once Kaya relied solely on her instincts. Now she has been initiated into ancient rites that reveal the power the moon exert on the blood of all predators. Her command of these mysteries has brought her a new companion in the form of a ghostly white wolf. This inseparable pair stalks the battlefields of Immoren with spell, spear, and fang to bring low the foes of the Circle Orboros.

    Individual photos of Kaya and Laris are also available.

    Warmachine Drago and Cankerworm previews

    June 2nd, 2008

    Privateer Press have posted previews of the Cankerworm Character Bonejack and Drago Character Bezerker models for Warmachine.

    Drago
    All Berserkers have the roughened look of decades of service, but Drago stands out even among such company. While it has a cortex as old and unstable as any Berserker’s, the passing of long years has removed many of the limited restraints that once held the machine back in battle. Mechaniks keep it chained up like a wild beast when not fighting, for Drago unleashes unmitigated violence at the slightest provocation.

    Cankerworm
    Cankerworm attacks with a breed of cunning and sense of self-preservation that makes mockery of life. The ‘jack’s unprecedented ability to manipulate even the most sophisticated and complex mechanikal devices makes Cankerworm a versatile and vicious tool. It waits for the mightiest of warjacks to suffer crippling damage and springs to attack the vulnerable machine. After the final strike, Cankerworm harvests weapons and other useful machinery from the fallen construct and turns them against their former masters.

    Ol’ Rowdy and Professor Viktor Pendrake previews

    May 29th, 2008

    Privateer Press have posted previews of Professor Viktor Pendrake and the Ol’ Rowdy Legendary Ironclad miniature. Both are scheduled for release this September.

    From their website:

    Ol’ Rowdy has five decades of service under its chassis. It hails from the first generation of Ironclads hammered together at the Cygnaran Armory from parts manufactured at Engines East. Not until after several years fighting with distinction during the Scharde Invasions did the ornery temper that would characterize Ol’ Rowdy actually come to the fore.

    Professor Viktor Pendrake has become a legend in his own time. He has passed down the wisdom of years in the wild by heading up the Department of Extraordinary Zoology in Corvis but recent events have pulled him from the halls of academia. After surviving enslavement by the Skorne he returned to the west to rejoin old friends and aid his allies in their struggles for survival.

    Cryx & Menoth Battlefield in a Box sets now available

    May 22nd, 2008

    Gale Force 9 have announced that they are now selling the Cryx & Menoth Battlefield in a Box sets.

    From their website:

    Two fantastic new terrain sets from Gale Force Nine’s Battlefield in a Box collection for Warmachine are now in stores. These pre-pained resin-cast terrain sets capture the mood of the war torn Iron Kingdoms and will enhance your tabletop skirmishes. Both highly detailed sets were sculpted by Gale Force Nine’s master terrain builder, Jason Buyaki.

    The fearsome warjacks and dark industries of Cryx are fueled by a charnel material known as Necrotite. Necrotite is created at sites of bloodshed and slaughter where the earth itself has been stained by agony and death. Over time a lusterless dark mineral forms that at first glance resembles coal but upon closer inspection reveals something far more sinister. The vile mineral unleashes necrotic energy which can be harnessed by skilled Necrotechs. Mining crews set up these foul mining rigs across the Iron Kingdoms and guard them violently as their foes seek to rob them of their unholy resource. This dark and fantastic terrain set sets the stage for conflicts in your games of Warmachine.
