Heavy Armour & Big Guns Join Privateer Press’ Warmachine
February 27, 2024 by brennon
A couple of new heavier options are popping up for both the forces of Cygnar and Khador by Privateer Press. You can add this new Warmachine character and a rumbling big gun to your forces right now.
Captain Raef Huxley // Warmachine
We start with Captain Raef Huxely who is ready to dominate any portion of the battlefield that suits you. You can go for one of two different configurations, focusing on either Sky Stormer or Ground Assault. In the air, Huxely is a swift-moving melee option able to get to where he is needed with ease. In the Ground Assault mode, the focus is on the Heavy Mag Bolter which is one of the biggest weapons normally reserved for the Stryker Heavy Warjack!
If you're looking to run a heavier force then you might find Captain Raef Huxely a good option. Fight from the front and fear no enemy weapons! I do think it would be neat to have a version of this miniature with a helmet but otherwise, I think he's looking pretty swish!
Rumbling Guns!
Blowing your opponents away with heavy weaponry has long been the mainstay of the forces of Khador and that's no different with the AC-2 Bison in play.
AC-2 Bison // Warmachine
Powered by a steam engine (it's a train, right?) the Bison can rumble forward and support your infantry with those massive auto-cannons on top of it. You could have a few of these Bisons set up on either end of the battlefield, laying down covering fire as your soldiers rush forward under covering fire.
Both of these miniatures are available for you to snap up right now as we move into March.
Could you be tempted by these new heavy miniatures?
"We start with Captain Raef Huxely who is ready to dominate any portion of the battlefield that suits you...."
I noticed that Privateer Press are no longer promoting Warcaster. Certainly nothing in 2023 and no new content. Does anyone know if they are going to bin this game ?
They put out an article at the start of the year saying they have plans to release 2 more factions for Warcaster. The Lost Legion (robots controlled by A.I.) and something called The Exiles. They also are working on a narrative campaign book for the game. They did specify it would be in the second half of 2024 though. So while Warcaster is on the back burner and has been for the last year, I dont think its headed to the bin, yet.
Many thanks for your comment, morss127, that was very helpful and positive.
I am liking MKIV for the most part but I really hate the look of that new Warcaster. On top of all the scifi elements and “totally not a space marine” look, why does he not have a helmet?
If he wore a helmet, he wouldn’t see snipers really well
