New Solos Call On Infernal Powers In Privateer’s Warmachine
December 10, 2019 by brennon
Privateer Press has been adding to the world of Warmachine too with a couple of new characters for the Infernals to use in their games. Calling on dark powers we start with Lord Roget d'Vyros.
"An arcanist who becomes an infernalist can seize a leadership position among the cults, attracting others into their pacts. Lord Roget d’Vyros is an example of one who has risen to such a position. A former member of the Order of the Golden Crucible, Roget is glad to have put that group behind him and now openly serves his new masters. His arcane skill was once mediocre, but he has achieved harmonic exaltation with the infernals, able to augment their strength and to borrow their greater magic to employ as his own."
I like that we're seeing not just demons getting thrown into the mix as part of the Infernals plans. It's good to see that the corruption has spread further into the world of Immoren and now you have powerful folks like Lord Roget now ensorceled by its lure.
The corruption can also be found in the antics of Eilish Garrity.
"Nowhere is the potential scope of infernal corruption more evident than with Eilish Garrity, the once affable arcanist of the Black River Irregular mercenaries. Eilish still sees in the mirror the man he once was. When speaking to outsiders, his charm can return, allowing him to present a smiling face to those who, moments later, are overwhelmed by his magic and offered to his infernal masters. He is addicted to power, with a thirst for hidden knowledge that has taken him down a path to disgrace and degradation. He greedily accepted the forbidden lore that was offered him and, in doing so, damned himself beyond redemption."
I love the idea of all of these characters who have been drawn into this web by the Infernals and whilst the power offered to them right now might seem like a boon I'm sure it is all going to twist and fall down around them when the Infernals have managed to enact all of their plans.
You could have a lot of fun with the painting of these models. I think it would be neat to try and present the corruption subtly on their faces, maybe with some dark lines of power pulsing along their flesh showing that it is inside each one of them.
Do you like these new options from Privateer Press?
" I think it would be neat to try and present the corruption subtly on their faces..."
Dang it Garrity, even back in the BRI books I KNEW we couldn’t trust you! The models look great, and something about Vyaros really reminds me of the classic Empire.
great looking spellcasters.
That Eilish guy on the bottom…. he does scream “BUT WAIT! There is more!” doesn’t he? XD
LOL That’s pretty much his personality in the books.
well then the sculptor really did his job right
I do tend to have a thing for minis with open books.
