Khador Reinforcements & More On The Way For Warmachine
January 12, 2017 by brennon
Some sneaky previews of what's around the corner have popped up online for Warmachine. Leading the way from Privateer Press we have a look at Khador and a new version of what I assume is Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich...
This fellow certainly looks like he has beefed up compared to his original version, which was already rather hefty! The design looks great and I like the amount of fur they've run with here too - it's looks awesome against the big hulking armour plating.
Maybe he'll be leading some units into battle too. If that is the cast then you might need some potentially new Khador Assault Kommandos?
They certainly feel along the right lines and seem armed for a close quarters engagement. I like the two regular soldiers but the fellow in the middle with his knife out seems a little awkward to me. What do you think?
Cryx Beasties
Following along from those Khador previews we also had a look at what's on the cards for Cryx. Leading the way was this betentacled beast known as Kharybdis.
I would hope to God that you've got some good superglue holding those legs to that base because it looks exceptionally top heavy! These strange creations of Cryx really are the reason to collect them so you can add the uber-gribble-monsters to the tabletop.
Talking of uber-gribble how about a new version of Mortenebra?
It's quite a step up from her original version which you can see HERE. We assume she's taken her Necrotech to the next level and built onto her body to create something even more deadly.
Additionally, it looks like we're going to be getting the Command Books for both Khador and Cryx rather soon too so prepare for nice themed forces!
What do you make of these new models?
"These strange creations of Cryx really are the reason to collect them so you can add the uber-gribble-monsters to the tabletop..."
Those are very nice looking models.
The first dude has nothing to do with Jozef Grigorovich except his love for fur hats.
Is it Rathok that the Khador guy is wielding? It seems similar but nor quite the same. Also is there anyone who knows enough about the current lore that can tell me what’s with the moon symbols on the model (both on the necklace and hat). Is he a part of some sub-faction within Khador?
Standard Ice magic symbols for the Greylords (Khador magic users/ Intellingence bureau )
khador could make a good dwarf king?
The Khador Assault Kommando group is actually the second incarnation of warcaster Oleg Strakhov, Khador’s number one black-ops dude, this time as a warcaster unit accompanied by a couple troops.
These are some pretty decent renders, they don’t normally fail in the final product. I would like to see the end result though minus the paint job, lately they haven’t been entirely the best. Not really ever a let down though.
Damn that Greylord is stunning not so bothered with Strakov, the original is a nicer sculpt. Hmm so to stick with my resolution looks like I need to paint my Khador army.
Some would probably describe that first model as “too busy” but I really like it. (although a cygnarian by loyalty I’ve often flirted with the thought of Khador as a second WM faction (certainly has more appeal than the god-botherers, undead, machines or the crappy little elves)
My necrophobia aside , the cryx models are really nice too, When privaterer isn’t doing burning horses they do some nice stuff
Kovnik Jo looks like he got what he wanted for Christmas! Like the new Assault Kommandoes too!
