Go Hunting Spellcasters With Scyrah In Warmachine
February 15, 2013 by brennon
It looks like the Retribution of Scyrah are getting a lot of updates soon for Warmachine with this newest one being the Mage Hunter Infiltrators from Privateer Press...
"Mage hunter infiltrators specialize in hunting and killing enemy arcanists. At home in any environment, they take advantage of their surroundings to close on their target in silence, their blades slicing through arcane wards with practiced ease. From out of the darkness they strike, quickly and efficiently dispatching those whose very existence threatens Scyrah."
I didn't think I'd like these very Elven looking miniatures for Warmachine but they are actually pretty damn good. I'm a big fan of any models that have hoods as they nearly always look exceptionally cool.
If you're not intending to use these for Warmachine you could always take one of them and paint him up as a Role-Playing character. I reckon they would make excellent Elf Rogues.
What do you think of this unit?
I really like the look of them, now for the rules…. im guessing arcane assassin and stealth, maybe ambush
There are three sets of triplets in there… Which is disappointing, again.
However, they are very nice !
Maybe I could use triplets after all…
I’m not a Retribution player but I do love the look of those models. They definitely need to select a model or two from each of their recent unit boxes to form a “Player Character” set for the IKRPG people out there. Now we just need to see a resculpt of the Mercenary Nyss unit with the same level of detail..
I have mental images of how my Daughters of the Flame went together. Lots of tiny arms to pin/glue into place – each very happy to ping off into my case each time I pack or unpack them…
Plastic would have been ace. In metal these are likely to be quite fiddly… bah!
Heh, what else is the outstretched sword arm good for if not breaking off every time you put it away safely?
Hehe, more pretties for my Ret force.
As Romain says, not enough variation , although I like the concept itself, 3 sets of three out of 10 models just isnt really good enough. Especially at that price.
These are amazing looking, might require a lot of cutting and posing to make them look different from each other. I can’t wait to see what their rules let them do. The only thing I really can’t stand is that they’re metal, why can’t the Retribution get plastic infantry?
Because Plastic in the Iron Kingdoms was created by mages. You cannot possibly use anything that may hurt Scyrah. That’s why their infantry is not plastic.
I like the look and this army force is starting to pull me into the game.
These are cool more pointy ears for my khador to crush lol tho im play a lot v scyra at the mo as one of my best friends plays them and im having a little trouble getting round them but im still new to the game system they do look cool tho
NINJAS!
