New Warmachine/Hordes Stuff

Privateer Press just took the wraps off two new All-in-one Army boxes, for Cryx and Skorne. Each faction is supposed to be getting one, so if you haven’t seen the faction you’re interested in yet, it is coming in another month or two. Each month Privateer is launching one Warmachine box and one Hordes box. The current boxes Privateer has released information on is available on the Hordes and Warmachine page of their website(see the links).

You can see the upcoming release on the Privateer website here. It’s about halfway down the page under the section of “Upcoming Releases”.

One thing I saw today which looked awesome is the new character jack for Khador : Ruin

I don’t play Khador, or have an interest right now, but Ruin just looks plain awesome!

Giant Monsters vs Giant Robots!

If you are a fan of Warmachine or Hordes like I am, then you no doubt follow the news. Over the past few weeks two conventions occurred: TempleCon in Rhode Island and SmogCon over in the UK. With both conventions came some big news for Warmachine and Hordes. TempleCon was a bit bigger as Privateer Press held a keynote speech(part 1 and part 2), where as SmogCon was just a video shown.

First up, at TempleCon we heard about the “New Generation of Colossals”. Each faction received a new Colossal variant based on the original Colossal chassis. The only faction that didn’t receive anything in the video was Mercenaries. I believe the argument here is they already had the Galleon and Ghordson Earthbreaker. Here is each Colossal by faction, with a link to the specific spot in the video:

1) Cygnar : Hurricane

2) Protectorate of Menoth : Revelator

3) Khador : Victor

4) Cryx : Sepulcher : This was the only new Colossal that we got to see the actual model. I think we also catch a quick glimpse of the new Khador character jack for the Butcher : Ruin

5 ) Retribution of Scyrah : Helios

6) Convergence of Cyriss : Prime Conflux

My favorite is the Hurricane:

The electric tech that Cygnar has is my favorite part of the faction(I may be biased though =P). I can see this coming into some of the lists I have already built.

At this point no one is sure if these new Colossals will be entirely new kits. Or if they will be upgrade kits to the existing Colossal kits. If they’re upgrade kits it will be interesting to see if we could magnetize them similar to the heavy jack kits. In my opinion that would be awesome!

Next up was SmogCon in the UK. While there was no keynote, they did show the “Gargantuans Evolved” video to show off the next set of Gargantuans. Each faction received one, save for Minions. We will just have to wait to see if maybe Minions will receive their Gangantuan! Here is each Gargantuan by faction, with a link to the specific spot in the video:

1) Trollbloods : Glacier King

2) Circle Orboros : Storm Raptor

3) Legion of Everblight : Blightbringer

4) Skorne : Desert Hydra : This was only model we actually saw. This was one amazing model! I have been thinking about Skorne as the next faction, this may be the first purchase

Lots of cool new stuff coming for Warmachine and Hordes! It looks to me like the first to release will be the Desert Hydra and the Sepulcher, seeing as we actually saw those models fully painted. After that it might be Glacier King and the Prime Conflux as we saw both of those in 3D modeling, which I believe is one of the steps before they start doing test models. Hopefully they are as awesome as they sound!

Let me know which one is your favorite!
