Send In Ace For Some Warmachine Special Ops
August 19, 2015 by brennon
Privateer Press, in addition to all those new Horde miniatures, have also added a new Character Light Warjack to their collection for Warmachine. Cygnar are getting the rather well named 'Ace'...
"Designed in secret by the Cygnaran Armory to carry out covert operations for the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service, Ace was built as a one-of-a-kind prototype. The machine integrated an experimental mechanikal device intended to camouflage the warjack, rendering it almost invisible in the field.
Though the original chassis of the ’jack was destroyed during an operation in Llael in 596 AR, Allister Caine was able to recover Ace’s cortex. Since the warjack’s reconstruction, Caine has relied on it during a number of CRS missions requiring an abundance of both discretion and firepower."
I like the idea of factions getting their hands on new and experimental technology. It's interesting to see Cygnar also get the ability to drop an invisible or indeed camouflaged 'Jack onto the battlefield.
What do you think of it as a model?

I like the Jack’s origins but you would think – cloaking technology or no – they would paint it’s hull to match the Cygnaran Rangers 😀
He was originally greyish black when Caine first got him, Read the Way Of Caine for more info
In my experience, it isn’t often a good idea to paint minis to be camouflaged.
By that I mean, I’ve seen camo minis get forgotten by their own player, and left behind on the table.
But I guess the camouflage worked.
I have been enjoying running pCaine lately, i will definitely be getting Ace to join him as soon as he is available 😀 .
Very nice.
Does Pioneer plan for a transparent version for “stealth” mode?
