The First Look At Warmachine’s Cephalyx Faction
February 8, 2014 by brennon
Above we have the video that Privateer Press put out during their Keynote speech yesterday at TempleCon for the Cephalyx. Check that out and some of our screen grabs from the video which give a closer look at the models.
As you can see they have a rather interesting aesthetic ranging from the hulking brutes right down to the warped and humanoid minions who will be mind controlled by their nefarious Warcasters and solos.
Some very neat models on the way for these guys!
Will they be your new faction?
This new faction does look rather interesting.
Was about time they had more models and their own faction.
As I understand this mercenary models and old ally models can be used togather with Cryx armies or used separatly.
The Cephalyx are going to be a Mercenary contract, they can probably be mixed with either Cryx or other Merc forces. They will be getting their own book too, I guess this will be similar to the Pirates book PP did.
Oh, and you can use them on their own!
Something about the big guys look a little cartoony…
He makes me think of the Big Daddies from Bioshock.
This new faction Cephalyx looks very interesting indeed, Im thinking i need these quite bad!, and got their own book, great!, does anyone know release dates for them?.
I heard they may make their first appearance at PP’s Lock & Load Gamefest in June. As for precise schedule, not sure. As a Cryx player, I’m interested in these, would like to see a battlegroup set. Guessing the Monstrosities will be a plastic kit with parts for the 3 variations shown in the vid.
Lock & Load was the date given yesterday. I’m assuming they’ll want the first wave available by GenCon in August.
Just looks like Cryx or Dark Eldar, not at all interested in these as I feel like I’ve seen it all before… Having said that, I’m pumped for the new Minions stuff… anthropomorphic alligator witch doctors? YES PLEASE!
Paging Dr Frankenstein paging Dr Frankenstein report to theatre 1 immediately.
And I thought Cryx was scary.
ok, this is an intimidating faction, i mean Cryx was scary, but these guys are terror incarnate
i want it
Now that is how you do a wargaming advert. Look interesting – always reminded me of the warmahordes version of the ithilids
I love them! Being medically minded I do love abit of strange flesh horror like this… a must buy for me
Try to pull Warren in too. We need more Warmachine videos around here and his enthusiasm about the games he plays is wonderful.
If you do I will happily face you over the table
Sounds good i need to learn how to play these seem a good way to start and get into the game for me.
The minis look good, I think Privateer are actually getting better, but I couldn’t help noticing how few different minis were actually shown in that video. Will PP be continuing to bring out boxes of 10 minis with only 3 different sculpts in them?
Just watched the hordes video, less well developed but looking even cooler. Only bad thing is now I will have to do farrow
And possibly gators
and maybe a small circle force
Damn them
Reminds me of Hellblazer mixed in with Mindflayers.
They have one pose only for the monstrosity?
I’m excited for this new faction. I may pick them up after I finish off my Menoth force.
