Check after the break for a quick transcript of what Matt Wilson and Jason Soles revealed.
Apologies in advance for the lack of formatting and typos.
Primecast - 2016 WM/H Teasers:
- new crop of warcasters and warlocks. painted (so models in
hand). models coming out
through 2016.
- Malikus, the Burning Truth. Inspired by Cleansers (not
exactly a cleanser). "Butcher of
Protectorate". Medium Base. Big model. Inspired by
Kingpin from Daredevil (in terms of
stature). Giant warcaster armor, large staff (large torch
with spears on the end), book
chained to hand. Makes fire (he's a priest of incindium,
Flameguard temple, he's "left hand
of Feora"), makes fires bigger. Feat is "butcher
like in escalation of flames".
Continuously obscured by smoke from his torch.
"Broadsides bart" like influence on his
warjacks (refers to output, maybe Broadsides spell?)
- Ragnar skysplitter. Trollkin Runeshaper Warlock. Another
large model. One of the largest
trollkin warlocks. Wields a maul, shaft with a shattered
piece of stone (looks "raw and
ancient", covered in runes). Scrolls on his back. Makes
explosive earthquakes, commands the
earth. Rival of Doomshaper, "butting heads over
policy"
- Major Maddux, female cygnar storm knight 'caster. Weapon
is a storm knight looking
weapon, storm chamber armor. Small based. Big sword, with a
"cool trick" - toggles between
melee weapon and big lightning gun (like Stormguard weapon).
Former Protectorate POW,
captured during invasion of sul, story tied to Commander
Stryker.
- Bane Witch Agathea, female Bane 'caster for Cryx. Spent
time in void, counter point to
Deneghra: instead of withering, she does work herself. Skirt
of screaming souls, long pole
axe (scythe-like), wing-like power plant ("angel of
death"). Feat is "Kaya-like": launches
battlegroup into enemy then pulls them back "as
shadows" (whatever that means).
- Tannith the Feralsong, female Circle warlock. Feral
'caster, staff made of blades. Based
on blackclads, aesthetically. Meant to be antithesis of Kaya
- Kaya is close to her beasts,
buddies; Tannith views her battlegroup as tools, means to an
end. "Circle enforcer".
Disciple of Wurmwood, uses "darker" magic,
"not unhome <sic> in Cryx".
- Magister Helena, Shyeel Mage, Ret 'caster. Arcane
mechanik, built myrmidons. Wants to
test out her myrmidons in combat herself. Soups up her
myrmidons in combat. Relationship
with Ossyan, has some techniques from him.
- Beastmaster Zakaar, Skorne Beastmaster 'caster. Formerly
in fluff, left for dead after
Gunnbjorn shot him in the face. Wields large whips (x2).
Weaponmaster, uses whips for
arcance purposes. Can "transfer spells to target on
contact". Fancy pose (sounds like Amon
with whips going all around him).
- Lord Karslov, Viscount of Skaarsgrad. Khador 'caster.
Giant axe. Started as Iron Fang
'caster conceptually. Serves a potent Greylord master in the
fluff. Big cloak (duh).
- Krissa, Conviction of Everblight. Got Athanc of her own
actions; wasn't chosen by
Thagrosh (conflicted as to her role, authenticity). Inspired
by Legionnaires.
- New units. "2016 = Year of the Gunmage". Satyxis
Gunslingers. Thorn Gun Mages (formerly
known as Amethyst Rose Gun Mages), assassins of Llaelese
resistance, work for Cygnar and
PoM.
- Caine3 coming. New connections to B13th. Later in the year
release.
That will be interesting.
ReplyDeleteNone of those really grab me, but then I am settled in my choices of caster and loc--so I really care more about individual Khador and Pig models.
Welcome back to blogging.
Thanks! I can't say how consistent I'll be, but now that things are settling down again I do want to get back to posting.
DeleteAs for the teaser info, I share your feelings. The "worst" thing about the way that the teasers were delivered (I'm grateful for finally getting some new info at least) is that they clearly start off strong - tons of info for the PoM guy - then taper off as it goes on. I think they realize that if they keep talking like that, it'll be a 2 hour podcast, so they end up throttling info way back (around the halfway mark its almost nothing but fluff and names).
Also, for what its worth, there are two books coming that include models they talk about - the new Cygnar 'caster and Caine3. For what that's worth. ;-)
