A New Deathjack Storms The Warmachine Battlefield
January 9, 2018 by brennon
An updated sculpt for the Deathjack has been previewed by Privateer Press. We spied this in render form a month or so ago but it's now almost time for the raging machine to hit the tabletop.
"For more than 200 years, the necromechanikal horror called the Deathjack has haunted the wilds of western Immoren. Striking without warning, this infernal machine voraciously devours souls and leaves nothing but death and destruction in its wake."
The concept of character Warjacks has always been a great one in Warmachine, giving these hulking machines a degree of character and motivation. Admittedly, most of the time they just want to crush things and rip out their souls (in the case of Deathjack here) but it's character all the same.
Warjacks have always been the focal point that I'd want to build any list around. Yes, the infantry and other units can be cool but surely the game should be about massive machines smashing each other to bits right?
What do you think of the new sculpt?
"The concept of character Warjacks has always been a great one in Warmachine..."
Very nice. Come think of it, Deathjack seems very over the top compared to your typical Cryx heavy warjacks.
Now that’s what I think a Helbrute should look like! I could definitely see one of these in my Alpha Legion army. 😀
It’s a shame this model is resin with metal parts. It would be nice if Privateer leapt into plastic as Wyrd and Workshop have done.
Is there a reason why they haven’t?
Yes, the flood of troops is what turned me off of Warmahordes. Bring back the day of casters and his/her warband.
MK3 is this day
Ooooh ! Excellent design !
A great dark/evil looking (jack)beast.
Very cool!
@mecha82 the deathjack is supposed to be. It’s a ‘special character’, THE Cryx heavy warjack 🙂
Awesome revision of the character, full of menace.
