FACE_DOOM_II’s thoughts on some of the new Lesser Warlocks/Journeyman Warcasters

 

What do you mean 'other than Arcane Shield'!?

What do you mean ‘other than Arcane Shield’!?

 

So it’s been a pretty exciting 10 or 12 months for releases and there is still a lot brewing in the near future for Warmachine and Hordes fans.  Gargantuans has nearly completed it’s release schedule and Vengeance has brought a lot of new and unique options to the table.  Every faction is being given interesting new pieces to play with and there are some very sexy interactions happening as a result. Butcher 3 and Issyria have effectively changed the game in the tournament scene and I have been seeing a lot of use for all those cool new light cavalry units (and that terrifying new Cryx cavalry unit as well!) but what I want to talk about today are the new Juniors, or at least a few of them.

Obviously I need to talk about Tyrant Zaadesh, because Skorne, but I’m also going to cover the other factions I have dabbled in over the years and still harbour some vague, traitorous interest in.  They are also the factions that I have WarRoom decks for, and can therefore research this article; because knowing is half the battle!  Fyanna the Lash, Tristan Durant, and Andrei Malakov all bring very interesting ‘tech’ to their respective factions so I am going to offer my thoughts on their potential use, impact and overall tactical value, as well as their ‘fun factor’ in this riveting two part article!

Deathbot Unboxing Begins!

Without much ado and any further delay, let’s start the blog articles showing you what was in those lovely blisters and boxes acquired from TempleCon 2014!

 

First up is one I think a lot of people were waiting for, the Iron Mother herself, Directrix and her Exponent Servitors.  This was a heavy blister containing all the pieces you will need to construct your own Deathbot Warcaster Vessel and her floating hoverbots.

 

Chock full of robot-y goodness with none of the distracting nougat.

None Asked, and None Given

Because you need to know what I think about this.

 

No Quarter, that is.  The magazine.  What else could I possibly mean?

I wanted to launch our review series of articles with a product I feel rather privileged to read and receive regularly; Privateer Press’ No Quarter bi-monthly magazine.  As a subscriber and collector of the magazine I feel I am uniquely qualified to write a review of the product that goes beyond an overview of the current issue and talks about the magazine in terms of it’s value as a regular supplemental product for the company’s Warmachine, Hordes, IKRPG, Level 7 [Escape] and Bodgers line of products.  Because really what we have is a high quality product that can be used to enhance your knowledge and experience with the games mentioned.

Oh and brace yourselves, this is the longest article to date here on the blog.  I hope you find it of value and not too painful of a read.
