The Fires Of Menoth Burn With New Flameguard & Idrians!
August 7, 2013 by brennon
Privateer Press isn't just adding to the world of Hordes. The Temple Flameguard and Idrian Skirmishers are also joining the forces of Menoth for Warmachine and you can check them out below...
"The unwavering Temple Flameguard comprises the Protectorate of Menoth’s much-vaunted last line of defense. This blazing tide of devoted warriors washes over their foes, swiftly striking down those who dare to oppose the divine will of the Creator."
"Masters of the unpredictable and lethal terrain of the Bloodstone Marches, most Idrian tribesmen converted to the Lawgiver but preserved their nomadic ways. They excel at stalking, ambush, and desert warfare and have turned these talents to the service of Menoth. With their ancient, curved blades and newly adopted rifles, these ruthless warriors cut down enemies for faith and coin across all nations of Immoren."
These are certainly some neat additions to Menoth and with the Flameguard being plastic that's a big boon when it comes to getting these together. I had the chance to see Menoth in action yesterday and I do like the amount of fire they can pour out onto their foes.
Are Menoth your faction of choice?
These aren’t new. They’re repacks. They used to come in smaller packages, now they’re in big boxes of ten. Not that the Idrians need new sculpts. They’re already one of Menoth’s better looking units (kind of a cross between Native Americans and Fremen from Dune. Really nothing wrong with that). Flameguard is one of those units (like Iron Fangs and Steelheads before them) that could really use a resculpt though. They’re notoriously fragile at the lance arm. Pins and brass tubes for every PP figure with a spear or pike!
Yeah I know they’re not new but when I mention their repacks folk have a go at me saying they should be labelled as new so…win some you lose some lol.
Nice though lol.
A repack is a repack, Ben…
Tell it like it is !
owning some flameguard i’d say there are some new poses in there e.g. the guys tucked up pointing spears straight forward and being plasti will be great biggest put off buying a second unit was them being metal! fully agree on idrians being some of the best sculpts but still tinkering with testing them before buying or not.
It is nice thing that these were repacked in bigger boxes.
