Retribution Of Scyrah Up Next For Warmachine All In One Army Box!
March 12, 2015 by brennon
The Retribution of Scyrah are the next Warmachine army from Privateer Press to be receiving their All In One Army Box in the near future. These things are always limited in their quantity so you better keep an eye on the internet if you fancy picking up more Elves!
Inside this set you get...
• Warcaster Issyria, Sibyl of Dawn
• Banshee Heavy Myrmidon
• Manticore Heavy Myrmidon
• Houseguard Halberdier Unit (10)
• Houseguard Halberdier Officer & Standard Unit Attachment
• Houseguard Rifleman Unit (10)
• Arcanist Solo
• Houseguard Thane Solo
• Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios Mercenary Solo
...so plenty of actual infantry alongside the large Myrmidons that will be stomping into battle alongside them. Scyrah have always been one of those harder sides to play in Warmachine and they have a particular nuance to them I think. Still, if you're looking to get started or just expand your collection then these aren't a bad shout!
Model wise Scyrah also don't have the best looking 'Jacks, in my opinion anyway, but that's started to change in recent months as the Moros was an absolutely stunning looking Myrmidon.
What do you think of Scyrah?
There is nothing wrong with this set. The Myrmidons come with the other options so you can build whatever, although the Banshee is a great Jack anyway, as is the Manticore. The Halberdiers + UA is a great unit that can pack a real punch. The Riflemen used to be a relatively poor choice compared to the other shooting units, but the Thane now makes them shine (he also helps out the already great Halberdiers). The Arcanist is as close as you can get to an auto-include in the fact (the Strength of all Myrmidons is balanced around this guy… Read more »
I’m sure there isn’t anything wrong with it 🙂 Sounds like it’s quite the brutal box just when I’ve played Scyrah I’ve kinda sucked with them…maybe that’s just me haha.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply you had said there was anything wrong with it (far from it); I was just saying that this is a great box, full of things that will more than likely find their way into many RoS armies. You can build any Jacks and the units / solo’s fit along side many other casters. If one was thinking of getting into Warmachine and playing as RoS, then this is a fantastic purchase. I would normally say that RoS are no less complicated than many of the other factions out there, but the Warcaster in this… Read more »
Retribution are the only force I have for Warmachine and I’ve never won with them. Tricky faction indeed! I’m not sure this box would help me, no matter how awesome it looks (and it does!)
Well that is interesting selection of models.
The inclusion of the Houseguard Thane makes this a force to be reckoned with. Just his ability to let the Riflemen ignore camo and stealth is worth the price of including him in a force. And it Has a lot of models I don’t already have. I’m a little less than 50/50 with my Retribution, but a lot of the time my losses are due to bringing a knife to a gunfight. It’s tough to get a viable “all comers” list because so much of what they have available is REALLY specialized to one role. The closest I’ve come is… Read more »
Now that looks like a sweet box.
Been buying the odd warmahorde models to paint but with these one box armies think im going to have to get one and start playing
