Gatorman Witch Doctor

Each witch doctor is a powerful mystic who lives and breathes the foul necromantic arts that are his birthright. Life and death are two edges of the same bloody knife to the witch doctor, who often sees his allies as nothing more than tools of battle to be moved between those two states as required. Amid the morass of combat he gathers the vile totems required to power his spells, tearing the fleshy trophies from the carcasses of vanquished foes. Raising his sacral blade aloft, the witch doctor utters sibilant incantations that impel the huge beasts he control in a wave of scaled death.

Avenger

The Avenger features a stun blade and a groundbreaking seismic cannon. Representing a step forward in Cygnaran technology, the seismic cannon fires sophisticated projectiles that can unleash a localized earthquake upon impact.

SPECIAL NOTE: This box contains all the parts necessary to assemble one of three heavy warjack variants (Avenger, Centurion, or Hammersmith), plus three color stat cards (not shown). A player may field any number of these heavy warjacks in a Cygnar army.

Centurion

Caspian engineers developed the hulking Centurion to rival the size and strength of Khador’s warjacks. Its increased armor and heavy shield makes it one of Cygnar’s most durable designs, and its mighty piston spear can easily pierce the hulls of enemy warjacks.

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."
