Extreme Warjacks & Heroes Galore For Warmachine!
November 6, 2014 by brennon
Privateer Press have put together another batch of releases for Warmachine including some Extreme versions of the Destroyer and Juggernaut! We're also seeing new sculpts for heroes like Aleksandra Zerkova and Fiona the Black alongside a full unit of Captain Sam & The Devil Dogs...
First up at the Extreme and very cool versions of the Khador Warjacks. I love the more cinematic stances and the exaggerated proportions giving them a foreboding and deadly look. As if they weren't dangerous enough! I do love the way they do axes for Khador; properly menacing!
There are, as mentioned above, two new sculpts for both Aleksandra Zervoka and Fiona the Black and I think they've done a great job on these. Zervoka looks decidedly more menacing and Fiona is in a rather commanding pose. I think her staff/spear might be a little too thick but I guess that's something that happens with the heroic proportions.
Last but not least we have the full unit of Captain Sam Machorne & The Devil Dogs for the Mercenaries. I'm not overly won over by these myself, the proportions look a bit weird and I don't like the poses, but for those of you looking to get a proper unit of them the option is now there.
Will you be getting any of these additions to the line-up?
The new warcaster sculpts look great, especially Fiona – that’s a marked improvement over the old one. But I know what you mean about the Devil Dogs.. at the very least, Sam herself could have used a resculpt when they packaged the Dogs up into a 10 man box.
Those Extreme Jacks and new caster sculpts look really good but Devil Dogs not so much.
really glad to see a Fiona resculpt. she is one of those casters that aren’t necessarily top tier (or mid tier for that) but thematically I think she is amazing.
plus as for the extreme jacks, and the price reduction that goes along with it, I think we are going to see a lot more ‘extremeoths’ (well at least one more)
I agree that the new Warcaster sculpts look amazing. They’ve now released updated sculpts for Cygnar, Khador and Mercenaries – here’s hoping that the trend continues. There are some other Warcasters/Warlocks that are showing their age. Good work Privateer Press!
The Extremes aren’t new- I’ve got the Juggernaut in the other room (waiting to be loved). The Destroyer isn’t new either. Although it is now a “resin and white metal kit” while the one I had is all metal- so I guess they’re changing the materials for the re-release. Sam and the Devil Dogs aren’t new either (I’ve got them as well).’ But- those new warcasters are both a marked improvement over their old versions, and are still very recognizable. I especially like the upgrade to Fiona- I always liked her character and art, but for some reason, the old… Read more »
