Privateer Preview New Warmachine Warriors For Cygnar & Khador
October 27, 2022 by brennon
Privateer Press has been previewing some more of the new units that are going to be popping up for Khador and Cygnar in Warmachine MKIV. The Winter Korps and Storm Legion are getting some neat-looking units starting with Khador's Man-O-War Suppressors.
Man-O-War Suppressors // Warmachine
Hello Iron Man. The Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly has been working hard on a way to make their soldiers stronger and safer in equal measure. That's where the Suppressors come in. A weapon platform manned by a single soldier and able to unleash a devastating amount of firepower from its Hailstorm Cannons. Combine these with some of the most fearsome Khadorian Warjacks and you've got a seriously deadly front line.
They are able to make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation and come with Bulldoze, Steady and Sturdy special attacks plus the Volume Fire special rule. Who would have thought it considering their bulk and the size of those guns?!
I really like these. They are a little more on the Sci-Fi side of things for me but I think all of the pistons and smoke stacks help to keep it grounded in that Fantasy/Steampunk aesthetic that Warmachine has. I could imagine them being painted with lots of pilot markings showing their kills and battles fought over the years.
Cygnar's Storm Legion
As well as the Suppressors, we also recently got a look at the Stormguard Legionaries & Standard Bearer.
Stormguard Legionnaires And Standard // Privateer Press
The Stormguard Legionnaires have one simple directive. Hunt Warjacks. Armed with their Voltaic Halberds, they are able to cut a Warjack down to size without breaking so much as a sweat. Their weapons come with the Brutal Charge ability and with some impressive damage statistics and the 'Jack Hunter special rule, they are going to be a challenge for even the biggest Khadorian Warjack.
You could always bolster such a unit with the Legionnaire Standard Bearer. The Voltaic Sword that the Standard Bearer uses has the Electo Leap special rule for doing some extra damage with those electrical weapons and being a banner bearer, they will be someone to flock around when the going gets tough.
I'm not sure I'm overly sold on Cygnar (never have been really) but the fact that they have Warjack Hunters is pretty darn awesome. I could maybe be persuaded.
What do you make of these Warmachine previews for Cygnar and Khador?
"The Stormguard Legionnaires have one simple directive. Hunt Warjacks..."
I really like these. I’ve always liked the Khador heavy infantry/heavy warjack theme.
I will admit I am disappointed at the seeming duplicate poses amongst the storm legion, and the refusal to sell the STL files. I understand why, but when you’ve got Titan forge churning out astonishing designs it’s difficult to justify.
Aren’t these 3D prints? If so I wouldn’t expect duplicate poses in the same kit; it’s not like they need to sculpt a whole new model and create an additional mould.
Now that even GW have decided to dial down on the “heroic scale” issues in their ranges (witness the latest Imperial Guard models) in the face of a general trend towards more “realistic” stylings, these models with their giant shoulder pads etc., are starting to look rather old fashioned I think.
Nothing wrong with that I suppose, but it does feel a little “same old, same old”.
Those Man-O-War Suppressors look very much like Space Marine Centurions. Oh and those Stormguard Legionnaires are really nice.
Great looking figures siege breakers an armoured assault soldiers
An the dividing lines between game’s gets thinner and thinner.?
I can forsee a head replacement and suddenly we have Space Skaven Centurions! I like the look but it’s VERY GW/40K
oh no new hador – heavy infantry supressors is so si-fy 🙁 I dont like it at all.
