Steamforged Games’ Maelstrom Whips Up A Storm In Warmachine
January 8, 2025 by brennon
Steamforged Games are whipping up a storm in the world of Warmachine with a rather hefty new 35mm miniature for Cygnar. The Maelstrom, a towering Colossus is available for pre-order right now.
Maelstrom (Front) // Warmachine
The Maelstrom is powered by a cutting-edge storm core generator and makes use of this to power its vast array of weaponry that can turn your enemies into ash. In terms of weaponry, the shoulder hardpoints come with potent weapons borrowed from the Stryker Heavy Warjack like the Heavy Mag-Bolter or the Electro Bombard.

As well as that, the Maelstrom also comes with a fearsome Storm Wave Projector and the choice of brutal hammers so you can crush your enemies as well as shoot them! Why would you not fry your enemies in as many ways as possible?
Maelstrom (Rear) // Warmachine
The left arm options for the Maelstrom could either be the Electro Harpoon Fist which gives you both a melee and ranged attack and the Pulse Fist which gives you a very strong melee attack as well as the Plasma Nimbus special rule. This is a powerhouse for the forces of Cygnar and I'm sure is going to find its way into several different collections.

Pre-orders are available for the Maelstrom until the end of January when it will be sent out and go on general sale. If you're currently working on your Cygnar army and want something to paint in February then it might be worth sticking in a pre-order soon!
Do you like the massive Colossals for Warmachine?
"Why would you not fry your enemies in as many ways as possible?"
It looks like an impressive model, but I had to look twice to spot the head, which is supposed to be the focal point of any anthropomorphic figure. That turbo engine on top of his head I think is in the way. Over all, I love the detail of this newer model, but if I had to choose; I would still go with the older Stormwall colossal. Just my 2c.
Dang, I thought the engine was its head too! This thing is a style disaster. All the right stuff, slapped together in the wrong ways.
