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.

Pulp City New Starter Sets - Tekkna Artwork


There has been a new Pulp City Supreme spotted today on their Facebook Page and the Pulp City Forum.
She is going to be in the new Starter Sets next year.

Tekkna


And according to Pulp Citizen she is very nice. Not a bad bone in her body. Hero Supreme maybe?

I really like her. And I have a feeling she will look very nice next to Vector with the circuits look.

What do you think?

Take a look at all the Pulp City pictures in this post.
These models (the unmade and unpainted versions) were all given to me by my wife yesterday!!!!
Was it on a condition? Yes it was.
The condition I make her a hot choc and buy her a bottle of wine after she gives birth.
Im good with that! I can do that!

So, once again. Love you wife. She is awesome!
And if she is also a gamer or puts up with your own gaming make sure you give a little extra aswell.
