Man-O-War Bombardiers Coming Soon!
September 2, 2011 by beerogre
Here's the latest pictures of the Man-O-War Bombardiers for the Khador faction of Warmachine.
The stats for these guys have been out for a while. They have a better ranged attack than the Shocktroopers, but they're not quite as high damage as the Demo Corp... but they occupy a sort of middle ground and should not be dismissed in favour of the already well respected and established Man-O-War units.
Here's what PP has to say:
Each Man-O-War bombardier is a self-contained mobile artillery unit able to devastate an opponent with explosive fire or tear them to pieces with the massive chain blade affixed to his cannon. Girded in steam-powered armor, bombardiers shrug off incoming fire that would cripple or kill a lesser soldier while the shrill, metallic whine of their chain blades announces inexorable destruction to the enemies of Khador.
Khador players have been crying for these for a while now, so it’s good to see them out at last. Plastic Demo Corp are en-route too, and with the shock troopers in the new 2-player starter kit, thats all Khadors core Man-o-War units done.
I just hope the top torso gap on these plastic kits is a little less obvious than on the metal ones
The torsos are solid plastic/resin, so the only space you’ll find a gap is between the torso and the waist, and that’s a pretty tight fit.
The point where the left arm/handle fits into the weapon is a little sketchy, but nothing too major.
Having put together both metal and plastic MoW’s, these are much, much better.
Is it just me, I think the chain blade should be under the berrel of the gun rather over the mouth of berrel. Just a small thing that most likly be cut and replaced as i wish.
But they are.
Well, okay, technically, there is no barrel. The top of the weapon is a missile rack, and you can see the rocket on top of it. The blade is beneath this.
I’m looking at one of the models now and I’m not quite sure what you mean? The gun is mounted on the top of the weapon. You can see the round just peeking out below the MoW’s left hand, loaded a bit like a PIAT launcher from WWII.
The posing on some of the models may make it look like they’re firing from underneath, but they’re actually raising their weapons up to bring the chainsaw down on some poor unfortunate’s head.
Wow, just wow. Those weapons look awesome.
Thanks for taking the time to make this! Looking forward to the next video!
