New Warjacks for Retribution of Scyrah
December 13, 2011 by dracs
Privateer Press have unveiled the latest warjack to be joining the ranks of the Retribution of Scyrah in Warmachine, the heavy Myrmidons!
The Myrmidon warjack can be fielded in three distinct forms, the Banshee, the Daemon, or the Sphinx.
"Recently unleashed upon the enemies of the Retribution, House Vyre’s myrmidons were developed with distinct capabilities all their own. The Banshee emits a high-pitched wail that prevents enemy spellcasters from using their magic, while its shrieking cannon hurls enemies aside with raw sonic power. A powerful assault myrmidon, the Daemon smashes foes with its rune fists or blasts them with concentrated arcane energy from its vortex cannon. The Sphinx rends its enemies with twin force claws or uses its runespear cannon to shatter an enemy’s mystical defenses, making it more vulnerable to magical attacks." - Privateer Press
So guys what do you all think of this? Do you like the look of it? Will any of you Retribution of Scyrah players be tempted to field one of these options?
Those look awesome as could be expected from sculptors of the PP.
I’ve been waiting for this kit along with every other RET player since wrath arrived, now we just need the upgrade pack to make Hypnos and we’ll be rocking
I really hope this is another kit I am sure it is but it would be nice
I’m glad that they chose to make them look a bit diferent than the other ones before them. As some of them only looked like a weapon/head swap. These do the same but look unique unto themselves at the same time. RoS is starting to win me over to warmachine. (I have Leagion ATM).
JUST RELEASE THE SWAMP HORROR ALREADY PRIVATEER PRESS!!!
I LOVE the fact that PP has been able to translate the differences between Houses Vyre and Shyeel onto the Tabletop. These look great. Cheers, PP!
Now… BRING ON THE DWRFS, ALREADY!
There’s something I want for christmas!
They look so much cooler than the house shyeel myrmidons, wonder when they’ll be out.
Does anyone know why the Scyrah / elf models always have huge codpiece armor around the crotch? I really like the design aesthetic of the models excluding that element. Just seems silly. I was thinking about going with these guys as opposed to Menoth because they are a bit more of a ‘good guy’ army, but ultimately the design on their armor (especially the troops) just seemed weird.
From what I understand the Retribution of Scyrah are not “good guys” the blame mankind for all their problems like the souless and want to genocide them off the face of the planet to save there gods. I wouldn’t say they are morally sound. As for the cod piece i have no idea maybe for some kind of center of balance thing on the model? If you are looking for good guys the only thing that comes to mind for me are the troll bloods due to the fact they are fighting for survival.
True they are not good guys, but they are not as wack’d as the Protectorate.
That is true but if I read some of there stuff right they are pretty wacked out too. I remember Garylshyld ( now Goreshade ) spiking a souless baby into the floor because he couldn’t get his point across. Or how THEY are the only ones who can use magi and they cant except that mankind has it too. Don’t get me wrong I got myself a 35pt Rahn list for the fact they are so much fun to play, but cryx are still my go to faction.
The simple answer can always be found on wikipedia. examples are, “Men from Tiom wear a double gourd, held up with a strip of cloth, and use the space between the two gourds for carrying small items such as money and tobacco.”
Clearly they use there codpieces to store items such as tobacco and money.
Compensating for something, I’d say.
Everyone knows dwarves have better… weaponry.
