More Domination Previews for Legion , Circle + Skorne Plus New Khador Kayazy Eliminators

LOTS of very nice new previews from Privateer Press to finish off the week.
Take a look below
(Click model name to see the official PP page with 360 view and the pictures to see larger versions)

Proteus - Legion Character Warbeast

The dragonspawn Proteus is Absylonia’s greatest creation. With a mass of thrashing tentacles projecting from its horrible visage, Proteus is the dragon’s hunger given obscene form. This unnatural abomination snares its victims with its tentacles and drags them inexorably into the grasp of its waiting claws. Those ensnared die horribly as Proteus strips flesh from bone, filling the air with a bloody mist.

The Proteus character heavy dragonspawn upgrade kit comes in a blister (PIP 73062). The Proteus character heavy dragonspawn upgrade kit is NOT a complete model. Players will need a Legion of Everblight Carnivean/Ravagore/Scythean Heavy Dragonspawn kit (PIP 73057) in addition to this kit. A player may field one Proteus in a Legion of Everblight army.

A very nice model. And very gribbly. Fits in with the new Battle Engine quite well. And yes, you did read the last part correctly. A Legion Heavy Warbeast Plastic KIT!
What does it look like? Lets take a peak

Legion of Everblight Plastic Warbeast Kit -Scythean - Ravagore - Carnivean

The warlocks that serve the dragon Everblight can call upon a myriad of dragonspawn, each a perfect engine of draconic destruction. The carnivean, an ancient and favored dragonspawn, shreds flesh, bone, and steel with its mighty claws and a shark-like maw. The ravagore emulates it progenitor’s fearsome breath by engulfing foes in gouts of blighted fire. Terrifying in its brutal simplicity, the sickle-armed scythean is another ancient breed created to single-mindedly destroy any who oppose its master’s will.

This box set contains three color stat cards and one multi-part heavy warbeast plastic model (PIP 73057). Included are all the components to assemble one of three heavy warbeast variants: Carnivean, Ravagore, or Scythean. A player may field any number of these heavy warbeasts in a Legion of Everblight army.

I don't know about anyone else but I can hardly see ANY difference in this kit from its metal versions.
To me that's a great thing. I love original models.And having them in plastic is going to give a lot more pose and conversion options. Very impressed PP. Might have to grab a couple more Legion Beasts when this is out. (And I don't even play Legion!)

Skorne Heavy Warbeast - Archidon

Archidons rule the skies over the Stormlands of the Bloodstone Desert with preternatural viciousness. Hunters possessed of keen eyesight and tremendous speed, the enormous winged reptiles are known to trail small groups of nomads traveling across the wastes. Once an archidon has its quarry, it soars upward to drop its hapless victim upon the jagged stones far below before descending to feast upon the broken body. Skorne tyrants and beast handlers appreciate the survival instincts and fighting 
prowess of these savage beasts.

Look at that wingspan! That's one HUGE Warbeast. As readers may know already I'm not a fan of Skorne so don't really know that much about them. But going by the miniature alone, I really like it. And look forward to facing it in battle and seeing what some of the amazing modellers and painters out there do with such a dynamic piece.

Circle Orboros - Gallows Grove

An ancient manifestation of the Devourer Wurm’s conscious will, the gallows grove flourishes on soil soaked in the blood of sacrifice and violent massacres. Possessing an unsettling approximation of sentience, these gnarled trees might vanish only to reappear where the blood flows most freely. Powerful druids of the Circle are able to feed their will into these conduits of power and then unleash it upon those marked for death. The very presence of these trees saps vitality from the living as wounds gape wide to pour blood upon the thirsty roots of their destroyers.

That's not just a view of the front and back of the model. You get 2 of them! Straight away that good value for money on my eyes. The trees fit in very well with Wurmwood and any of the other Stone/Wood Cirle models.
Another great mini! PP are on a roll!

Khador Allies - Kayazy Eliminators

The kayazy eliminators are assassins who practice their deadly trade with the finesse of the finest artists. Working in pairs, the lithe eliminators move with deft agility to conceal their silent presence. When the time comes to perform their bloody services, they do so with a grace that would seem like ease were anyone present to observe it.

Once again, a beautiful couple of minis. And looking back over the rules from Warmachine: Wrath there are going to be some very happy Khador players out there. But some even happier Mercenary Four Star players!
I didn't really like the older Kayazy but these are so nice they have been added to the 'to get' list already!

So there we are for now.
Only 4 days left until we all get out hands on Hordes: Domination. Cant wait!

Hordes Domination - Trollbloods War Wagon Battle Engine in Todays PP Insider

The STUNNING Trollbloods War Wagon Battlle Engine has been posted up by Ed Bourelle in todays Privateer Press Insider Blog. See the post below or check out the link here- Insider 11-10-2011 

 

Getting to see the Trollkin War Wagon develop from concept art to sculpt to final painted model has been a creative high point for me here at Privateer Press. Roberto Cirillo was tasked with creating the concept art, not only for the wagon itself but also for the five unique sculpts that make up its crew and for the bison that pull it. In the end, Roberto did fifteen pages of some of the most amazing and detailed concepts I’ve seen to bring every last detail of this model home.

When it came time to sculpt this awesome battle engine, there was no single sculptor who could take on the epic task. Like the Throne of Everblight, this would need the skills of three different sculptors. The heavily armored bison went to Steve Saunders, who did a fantastic job capturing the motion and power behind the thundering beasts of burden. Todd Harris hit a home run with the five crew members, giving them each wonderful personality and motion. The driver is my favorite, with his face full of the rage befitting a trollkin controlling the reigns of his kriel’s most powerful weapon. Finally, Privateer’s own Sean Bullough proved once again he is the king of WARMACHINE war machines. Sean brought it all together, sculpting the entire wagon, from wheels, deck, and padded seats all the way to the barrel of the massive pounder. These guys did an amazing job on the War Wagon, and I can’t wait to see the stuff they’re working on next hit the tabletop.
Finally the awesome painting duo of Matt DiPietro and Meg Maples worked to give life and color to the studio model. I’m blown away (poundered, if you will) by the final results. This one model contains the craftsmanship of many people whose commitment to quality and detail runs deep. See for yourselves.

Keep an eye out for future Privateer Insiders where Sean will go into some detail on his experiences bringing this masterpiece together.

More Hordes Domination Previews For ALL Factions + New Cryx Desecrator Helljack Sighted

Loads of new preveiws have appeared over the internet over the last few days. (Aswell as the whole book being leaked) As a PG Im afraid you wont see any of the rules here that PP havent given permission to post online though. But hey, the book is out in only 8 days!!!
Time for some stunning pictures. (Click to see larger images)

Most of these pics are from Lost Hemisphere where they have posted a really nice Domination Book Preview

Circle Orboros - Gallows Grove

I love this model and think it will fit in really well with the other tree based models like Wurmwood and the Mannikins

Minions - Farrow Road Hog

WOW! Just wow! I love the artwork for this Beast. When I finally get to restart my 'different species' Farrow I will be adding atleast 2 of these.

Trollbloods - Rok - Character Dire Troll
Skorne - Tiberion Character Titan + Venator Slingers

Personally I'm not a Skorne fan so cant really comment on the new pics for them because I dont know much about the force.
But ROK is stunning. Really looking forward to seeing the model for him.

Legion of Everblight - Proteus - Character Heavy Warbeast
(Really sorry but I don't remember where this pic came from)

That's one creepy looking Beast. And it seems to be based off of the Carnivean body again.
VERY impressed by it. And another model I'm looking forward to seeing.
Maybe a metal upgrade kit for a future plastic multi-beast box?

So what do you think of all these new things coming in HORDES: Domination?
I'm actually quite excited to get my hands on the book for the fluff and artwork. So many new models I want to know about.

Next up are a couple of pics sent to me from my friend Darth Tater over at the Mashed Up Potato Blog

New Cryx Desecrator Helljack Model

A stunning Jack. And another Cryx Crab-Jack which are my favourite of the lot. You can see the rules for this evil machine in Warmachine: Wrath.
Is it plastic?
Will it be part of a multi-jack kit?

What do you think?

That's all for today.
I'm sure there will be a lot more to show soon as all these previews are pouring out.

New Hordes: Domination Skorne Warbeast. The Archidon - In Todays PP Insider

 

 Check out todays new Privateer Insider from Brian Dugas - Link here > Insider 11-1-2011 

A STUNNING new Skorne Warbeast. The Archidon. This model alone is making me wat to pick up a small Skorne force. It stunning. Very dynamic and veydabgerous looking.

Full Insider post below

If you were one of the lucky folks who attended one of my sculpting demos at Lock & Load you may have seen me in the process of sculpting the Archidon skorne warbeast! Well, after much hard work, as well as squeezing in several other projects like the Throne of Everblight, here is the final result! I had a lot of fun making this heavy warbeast for HORDES: Domination, and I think he turned out pretty cool!

LOADS of New Warmachine and Hordes Privateer Press Preveiws

The last few days have seen LOADS of new model previews for Warmachine and Hordes on the Privateer Press site.
Lets start of with some lovely new things from the upcoming book, Hordes: Domination (Due out Nov 11th in UK)
To see the original posts for these and their 360 views, click on the model titles.

Minions Blindwater Boneswarm Light Warbeast

The boneswarm is an undulating mass of osseous debris given horrid life and animation by lingering necromantic energies in places where many have died. Gatorman bokors have learned to control these horrors, directing them to envelop foes in a mass of biting, toothy skulls. The bones of its slain victims are incorporated into the boneswarm itself, allowing it to heal damage and grow stronger and more 
resilient.

OK so this isn't a new model. Its originally from the Iron Kingdoms RPG. But its still a stunning model. And I love the fact the the Blindwater Gators continue to stay a variety of races and creations. Not just Gators.
That is one of the factors that made me choose to play Blindwater in the first place. You can never get bored of building, painting or playing. Theres always something different!
Looking forward to fielding a couple of these with Maelock the Dreadbound in the near future.
(Bring on the Swamp Terror next PP!)

Circle Orboros Warlock - Epic Baldur the Stonesoul

While the last tenuous thread of his life was held fast by Megalith, Baldur’s spirit was subsumed within the entirety of Orboros, and the fundamental principles of the world were made clear to him. He has returned to serve as a conduit for a torrent of destructive power. In the midst of battle Baldur can tap into this endless flow to empower himself beyond his mortal limits, but the longer he fights, the more his body tears itself apart.

I'm not a Circle player myself (yet) but I have always liked the construct and Wold side of the Faction. Baldur is my favourite Primal Warlock and his new Epic version really does the character justice. Big and dangerous with a much stronger 'stone' feel to it. Overall, he is vert impressive.

The guys over at Bell of Lost Souls (Link to the right>>>) have a nice little rules snippet for him aswell.

Devourerʼs Debt - During your Control Phase place 1 Wurm token on this model. For each Wurm token on this model it gains +1 STR. At the end of each of this modelʼs activations it suffers 1 damage point for each Wurm token on it. This damage cannot be transferred

And now its time for the BIG preview. And I mean BIG

Legion of Everlight Battle Engine - Throne of Everblight

That's a 120mm base its on. Its HUGE! And alot more creepy and gribbly than the Dominaton cover artwork. All good in my book!
Looking forward to seeing what this immense beast can do!

Onto abit of metal and steam next

Protectorate of Menoth - Nicia, Tear of Vengeance

The widow of a proud Menite soldier, Nicia hopes only that by the time she meets her own inevitable, bloody death she will have killed enough unbelievers to join her husband at Menoth’s side. This peerless Daughter of the Flame strides through battle with lethal grace and speed, each movement gauged to bring her within striking distance. Even as she cuts through one foe, she fells another with cannon fire, wheeling her blade around for another kill. Few enemies have witnessed Nicia's murderous devotions and lived.

A model both beautiful and deadly looking at the same time. A stunning piece for any Menoth force.

Finally, the first ever plastic Merc minis!


Mercenaries Plastic Multi Heavy Warjack Kit - Rover

Mercenary warjacks are often drawn from discontinued chassis once produced by kingdom armies. The Mule, a former Cygnaran warjack, wields a massive battle mace and an innovative steam-powered cannon packing enough explosive punch to scatter enemies like leaves. The Nomad, once a Cygnaran mainstay, has been battering enemy ’jacks with its battle blade for 150 years. The Rover was built specifically for mercenary use, and its battleaxe and shield-mounted cannon have turned the tide of many a battle. Mercenaries maintain these battle-tested machines and find them fully capable of standing toe-to-toe against any fresh from the assembly line.

This box set contains three color stat cards and one multi-part heavy warjack plastic model (PIP 41085). Included are all the components to assemble one of three heavy warjack variants: Mule, Nomad, or Rover. A player may field any number of these heavy warjacks with a Mercenary warcaster.

Nomad

Mule

Really leased to finaly see a Merc plastic kit. And even more pleased its for the Heavy Warjacks. Going to make my Talion themed Jack conversion alot easier.
This also suggests that Rociante WILL be a metal part conversion kit like the other Wrath Character Jacks.
Again, I cant wait to get my hands on alteast a couple of these.
A whole manner of conversions and bits swaps are in order!


Thats all for now then folks.
(Stop that drooling, it wont do your keyboard any good)


May your random number generator cubes be kind to you.
