Conquest

The Conquest is a walking mountain of steel bristling with some of the most powerful weapons ever used on the battlefields of the Iron Kingdoms. The deafening roar of the colossal’s steam-fed engine is punctuated by the staggering percussion of its devastating guns, which unleash a punishing barrage of shells able to reduce warjacks to slag and annihilate entire enemy formations. Deployed to the front lines, the Conquest brings unrivaled firepower to Khadoran battlegroups.

Garryth, Blade of Retribution vs Kommandant Irusk

 

Just to take the tedium out of the usual regular-pointage games, and seeing that Jacky has a brand new toolbox which he claims can hold his entire army, I offered a challenge to him -- he fight with everything he's got, and I'll match it with the same pointage with Khador. What ensued after at Mangsky's Pitshop was around three hours of, what he stated, "fun but mind-numbing game."

Garryth, Blade of Retribution vs Old Witch of Khador

[Parental Guidance: Explicit Lyrics LOL] More apologies - not much messy audio this time, but got too excited and didn't get any pre-game army configs (since we were using the same lists anyway), and just jumped right in ahead with Pat's first turn.  Played 35PC of SR2012 Supply And Demand - Patrick Palma's Garryth, Blade of Retribution against Kim Navarro's Old Witch of Khador.

Major Markus "Siege" Brisbane vs Old Witch of Khador

[Parental Guidance: Explicit Lyrics LOL] Apologies in advance - parts of the audio was really messy (there was a fan nearby). We played 35PC of SR2012 Supply And Demand - Kim Navarro's Old Witch of Khador against Louie de Guzman's Major Markus "Siege" Brisbane.

Major Markus "Siege" Brisbane vs Vladimir, the Dark Prince of Umbrey

35PC SR2012 Outflank, Outfight, Outlast game between Louie de Guzman's Major Markus "Siege" Brisbane and Kim Navarro's Vladimir, the Dark Prince of Umbrey! [Parental Guidance: Explicit Lyrics LOL]

Post-game clarifications: Louie was right - he could have shot at the Gun Carriage regardless if it was behind woods or not.  I didn't bring my Wrath book, so we just ruled that the Battle Engine "can hide" behind woods safely in our game.

Privateer Press, it would have been nice if you included a Battle Engine Rule Summary card in addition to the stat card that comes with the box.

Questions, comments and criticism welcome.

35PC SR2012 Outflank, Outfight, Outlast game between Kim Navarro's Vladimir, Dark Prince of Umbrey and Taks Arguelles' Gorten Grundback! [Parental Guidance: Explicit Lyrics LOL]

Vladimir Tzepesci, Great Prince of Umbrey

Reclaiming his long-denied birthright, Great Prince Vladimir Tzepesci rides his warhorse Vsada into battle to defend the lands of Umbrey restored to his family. He wields weapons of the ancient Tzepesci horselords, carrying a spear in one hand and the mace Huntsman in the other. Should strength of arms alone prove insufficient, Vladimir lashes out with dark sorceries, the blood of kings that runs in his veins lending him the strength to secure victory.

Bridging the Gap

Trollbloods' Calandra Truthsayer, Oracle of the Glimmerwood versus Khador's Vladimir Tzepesci, Dark Champion of Umbrey
35PC Outflank, Outfight, Outlast

The old Brownglade riverbed has gone dry after weeks of being dammed up by Skorne forces led by Tyrant Xerxis.  Trollbloods of the Havenstone Kriel implored for a solution to their predicament, and the great Oracle, Calandra, immediately offered her aid.

With Havenstone's best Fennblades and Burrowers alongside the warlock's warbeasts, Calandra headed east only to encounter a Khadoran war host led by the Dark Champion, Vladimir Tzepesci.

Battle lines were immediately drawn and both forces clashed on the dusty riverbed for control of a now-crucial location.

Trollkin Fennblades tied up the Iron Fang Uhlans on the east-side embankment while Pyg Burrowers tunneled up and primed their weapons for a charge

WRATH Warcasters

Constance Blaize is a resolute champion of Morrow who leads her Precursor Knights into battle against the unholy terrors that threaten all of mankind. Her greatest foes are the sprawling nightmare empire of Cryx and the vile servants of the dark god Thamar. Empowered by her faith, Blaize fights for her god and her nation with fervor inspired by the holy ascendants she reveres.

A fanatic assassin able to move between the bounds of life and death, Thyra, Flame of Sorrow is the peerless commander of the Daughters of the Flame. Her twin swords, Grief and Lament, weave a path of razor-edged destruction through the enemy ranks as she leads her sisters into battle. Thyra has become a living weapon of the Menite cause, her body and soul devoted to avenging the injustices carried out by those who oppose the Creator.

A specialist in the acquisition of lore from the dead, Lord Exhumator Scaverous is one of the most potent and intelligent servants of the Nightmare Empire. Souls are both ammunition and fuel for Scaverous. Those he slays and casts aside are fortunate compared to any possessed of special lore, whose skulls and souls he preserves for horrific necromantic interrogation.

Khador’s Iron Wolf has earned a reputation as a peerless master of heavy armor on the battlefield, a war hero beloved by his men and respected even by the enemies of the Motherland. He is famous for his ability to move large numbers of warjacks at an unprecedented pace to arrive where the enemy least expects him. Where Harkevich and his iron army stride, the enemy finds itself hounded, outmaneuvered, cornered, and eventually obliterated by overwhelming firepower.

The fundamental laws of reality twist and shatter beneath the will of Ossyan, Lord Arcanist of House Vyre. Time bends with but a gesture from him, and he can alter his perception to see the convergence of fate. Armed with perfect foresight he is a deadly combatant and battlefield general. Ossyan’s myrmidons and soldiers move with the assurance of destiny as he unleashes House Vyre’s sophisticated armaments upon the enemies of the Retribution.

Torch

The favored warjack of Kommander Strakhov is a relentless engine of destruction. Virtually nothing can prevent Torch from reaching its target; it burns and batters enemy troops from its path, while its whirling saw and pounding fist reduce warjacks to scrap. The massive ’jack can charge through forests, thick undergrowth, or the corpses of its felled enemies as easily as it moves across an open field.

*Players will need a Khador Heavy Plastic Warjack kit (PIP 33063) in addition to the upgrade kit in order to build Torch.

Khador Battlegroup

Crush All Beneath Your Iron Might!

Khador’s powerful warjacks epitomize the national ideals of strength and resilience and are as relentless in battle as the frigid winters of their homeland.

Greylord Escort

Only the most courageous of Greylords are chosen to accompany the barbarous Doom Reavers into battle. These escorts are invariably experts in the field of Orgoth studies as well as formidable arcanists. Moving amidst the Doom Reavers like a handler of vicious beasts, the Greylord carries a staff of Orgoth origin. His will is exerted through this dark artifact, restraining the Doomreavers from murdering one another when they rip into the enemy. He channels that rage to provide a necromantic imperviousness to the effects of injuries. Gaping wounds close of their own accord as the Orgoth weapons chatter obscenely amongst themselves.

Widowmaker Marksman

Operating independently, Khador’s senior Widowmaker marksmen move unobserved across the battlefield. The expert sharpshooters are equipped with the prized Vanar Liberator rifle. The Liberator weighs a full twenty pounds, nearly twice the weight of the standard hunting rifles issued to Widowmaker units. Capable of tearing through plate armor, Liberator rounds are as accurate as they are lethal in the hands of a Widowmaker marksman.
