Dusk House Kallyss Previewed For Warmachine MKIV
November 3, 2022 by brennon
Privateer Press has been previewing new miniatures coming to the new edition of Warmachine. Dusk House Kallyss is looking dangerous and deadly and it seems like the miniatures could be super fun to paint!
Dusk House Kallyss // Warmachine
The first big bit of news surrounds the Dusk House Kallyss Preview Battlegroup. Coming in at $75, this is going to be your first chance to pick up these new miniatures. They will be available to pre-order from the Privateer Press online store on 3rd November and give you a taster of what's coming for this fiendishly moody "edge lord" faction.
Hazaroth, Narcissar Of Ruin // Warmachine
Eidolon Heavy Warjack // Warmachine
Ghast Light Warjack // Warmachine
Miniatures-wise, the set will come with Hazaroth, Narcissar Of Ruin, an Eidolon Heavy Warjack (with a bunch of options) and the Ghast Light Warjack which comes with an equally good set of options. You'll also get a pack of magnets so you can tinker with the options.
We also got to get a look at some of the additional miniatures coming to support Dusk House Kallyss on the tabletop when the range releases in full.
Tyrus // Warmachine
Tyrus is a masterful spellcaster and uses the death of warrior models nearby to access his magic. He can also use his Invocation Of Shadows feat to teleport himself and his companions into or out of danger whilst also making them ghostly!
You might also find some use for the deadly Seeker Wardens.
Seeker Warden // Warmachine
This attachment to units allows you to bring even more deadly spells to the tabletop. They can also offer up boosts and boons for the unit they are attached to with a healthy +1 to their attacks. It might seem small but it could make all the difference.
Taking of units, there are some rather awesome-looking moody "Elves" for you to add to your armies. With all of that flowing hair, you know they're heroic and awesome in a pinch.
Dreadguard Slayers // Warmachine
Being Undead and Tough, they are able to draw on the life force of those that they slay. When they destroy living or undead models they remove damage points from their tally meaning you need to destroy them quickly before they get too much of an advantage. Their axes also have the Critical Decapitation rule which just sounds gorgeously brutal.
The warriors of Dusk House Kallyss might be good in combat but they also possess deadly skills at range too.
Dreadguard Archers // Warmachine
They too come with the ability to remove damage by slaying opposing miniatures. Their magical bows also give them a suite of attack options so they aren't just resorting to plinking standard shots into their foes. They can properly Hawkeye it up!
The forces of the Retribution Of Scyrah and the Iosan people have been through quite a change and the Empire Of Eternal Dusk or just "Dusk" portion of this faction have joined forces with the other Iron Kingdoms nations in order to take on Orgoth. So, whilst they might look evil, they are working against a greater evil. They might just take a few souls along with them to sustain themselves.
Could you be tempted by Dusk House Kallyss for Warmachine MKIV?
"...there are some rather awesome-looking moody "Elves" for you to add to your armies"
Some interesting looking Space Elfs/Dark Elfs for player’s.
They are closer to Vampires from Old World.
Those look really good.
so much for steam punk.
So does this now mean they have two scifi wargames?
I mean Warmachines Ilosian Elves always did look like they should be shooting lasers and bemoaning what the Mon’Keigh have done to the galaxy….
Is this a new faction or something? It seems a bit… odd to create new guys when there are players who’ve the older models and could be playing them and from that bringing new players into the game.
The time to expand the available factions is Warmachine V.
You can already do that. Download the Warmachine MkiV app. You can already play the existing factions. This is just a new one.
They’re not producing the old stuff anymore, the line was too big for stores to handle.
Instead of themes in a larger faction armies are just self contained theme lists now. So there is no more Cygnar faction, just Storm Legion and First Army as discrete whole armies.
After trying out the new army builder app I bought the preview box. Spell customisation for warcasters, a warjack is customizable from head to toe, parts are premade for magnets. Army building just blew me away.
Elves in the Iron Kingdoms are now avalaible in two flavors. Both emo.
I’m not sold on the giant manes of har, but the faction in general looks cool. What I know of the rules seem very strong, especially the spell rack.
But it’s not tempting me away from Storm Legion just yet 🙂
