Grab New Solos For Warmachine From Privateer Press
March 8, 2013 by brennon
Privateer Press are keeping the gears turning of Warmachine and have announced two upcoming releases. Check out the Stormblade Infantry Captain and Iron Fang Kovnik below...
This pair are cast in white metal and are some fairly chunky warriors. They appear to almost be in the same stance but I would have to say I prefer the Stormblade Infantry Captain.
Privateer Press also shared this little sneak peek of the Convergence on Twitter! Now that is a nice looking pair of wings, and that's something I don't say often!
Will you be picking up the solos, or saving your money for the Convergence?
Drop a comment below!
another jack marshall for khador, thats us up to what, 4 now? not that I mind, as for the flavour text of the kovnik
”Veteran Iron Fangs are brutal and skilled personal combatants. They move between regiments and units coordinating the assaults of subordinate Iron Fangs, lend their tactical prowess where needed, and stand ready to support their brothers with great axe and warjack.”
wonder what those tactics are, precision strike maybe?
id like to know how pikemen become great personal combatants myself
convergence all the way had all kinds of shenanigans with them in the iron kingdoms rp (big thanks to beasts of war for sign posting that btw!)
You see, I don’t really “get” the need for another Khador Jack Marshall, if this solo is indeed one.
It’s not as if Khador Jacks are generally cheap (excluding the beserkers) so why would you take the “risk” of JM’ing a 9+ point Jack?
I’ve got to wonder if something is on the horizon with regards to JM’s rules, to make generally taking them worthwhile.
i quite like jack marshalling cygnar jacks to the gun mage officers myself otherwise it’s just a way of making sure you don’t need to spend focus to keep some efficiency really maybe not on khador jacks but i’ve seen merc players get great use from it and our local ret player has some tasty tricks in this department too
As a relatively new Cygnar player, I find jack marshalls to be quite useful too. The gun mages with a hunter has been a quite decent combo for me and Arlan’s great with his jack marshall and power booster abilities.
Well, Cygnar has:
a. great Jack Marshals
b. cheap light jacks with ranged armament.
Khador sadly has neither. The best combo, Koldun Lord and Destroyer clocks in at 11 points and that is often not worth it.
The wings could be for a special character?
Convergence is mentioned to have Clockwork Angels.
Looks like those wings
Could also be a Clockwork Angel warcaster.
And now; whatever that turns out to be, I can truthfully claim that I was half-right! 😛
Liking the Khador, and I cannot remember were but there were rumours of plastic ironfangs with a second kit coming out with axe weilding ironfangs. Not a huge fan of the old pikemen.
Cyngar almost a nice sculpt but what the hell happen with the face, hope thats a paint thing.
Could be the clockwork angels unit, I hope not or that will test my willpower.
I don’t there are any rumors of a plastic pikemen unit so much as a whole lot of wishful thinking on the part of Khador players. I honestly think you’d see more pikemen on the table if the kit weren’t such a pain. They’re a strong infantry unit, one of the best all around units Khador has (highly underrated by most players). The kit is just such a disaster. I do hope that making a new solo UA for them means that some changes to the old kit are coming around soon.
Indeed one thing that is putting me off is the models.
I’ll admit – the Stormblade Infantry Captain has me kinda stoked. I’ve always been a bit envious of the Protectorate’s various Seneschal solos, now Cygnar’s getting an equivalent of their own.
I do agree about the face though – that is not a good look. Then again – the same could be said about the unit leader in the old metal Stormblade kit.
Actually… I think that’s the exact same face – looks like someone got a promotion. 😛
As Khador player I might pick up Iron Fang Kovnik for use that he has.
