with a few months left I am getting really excited about Warmachine MK2. Not just the updated rules but also the releases what come with it. The basic heavy warjack's (the ones that featured in prime and prime remix) will be released as a single plastic kit with parts to make 4 variants. Yes all have a 4th variant which is brand new and I am looking forward to Khadors new variant the DECIMATOR!!!
This is a true Khadoran Warjack Sporting a chainsaw on one arm and a rifled cannon SWEET!!!
But that is not all these jacks have undergone a facelift. My beloved Khadoran jacks now have the same design as the Extreme Juggernaut which is mouth watering good.
Also with the latest version of Warmachine they are releasing faction books. The 1st to be released being Cygnar. This book will be the definitive guide to Cygnar holding unit rules, painting advice, information on the organisation of the Cygnaran military and much more.
So mk2 looks like it will be fun joy fen out

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH and some Ik bloggyness
So im having a bad weekend as i sit here a 1 am and i gotta be up at 5 ish and at work at 8 till very late possibly even later like that Watching the Watchmen (oh yeah) and being pretty fuming. Mainly cause well one of the guys at work has not showed up for 2 whole days. Also known as the FREAKING WEEKEND, also known as OUR BUSIEST TIME!!!.
Had to do a damn close by myself on a Saturday and well now we dont know where he is so if he dont show up tomorrow I gotta do his close Saturday so that means no freaking D&D possibly maybe ... GAH!!!
But anyway ive now vented down to what happened. So after talking with mr Selly one night about what I should do with 3 of the our 6 players who were showing up that week (selly was one of the lads not showing up that week). and I was vbouncing off ideas and selly came up with why not split em up make em work hard. Uhh yeah that a tough thing to do but we gave it a whirl. So I set a great scene in Corivs under Lockdown in a nice quiet tavern when a sorceror being hutned down by the inquisitors and the watch burtst in all hell breaks loose 2 off the party are carted off to jail.
So our gun ho fighter and our gun mage are locked up and not really tryign to get out. Whilst The Arcane Mechanik has formulated a plan he just needs a way in.
And he found in his workshop along with his flamethrower. 2 Warjacks minus cortexes. And he jsut happened to stumble across a old one (need to work out how degraded it is). so Yeah off al goes with his Mule and essentially breaks intoo jail and rescues the guys plus a Arcane Tempest gun Mage.
Course I didnt make the escape easy hell al had a problem handling the jack with his low pointsi n Jack handling but he did ok.
And ofr fun I gave them one hell of a end fight them, there Mule vs Skorne warriors a pain giver and a titan. Yeah it was awesome. Unfortunately the skorne never really got in the game as the mules stray shot ripped them to shreds.
But a fun tie was had by al land now al isl ooking towards Warcaster as a end game resiult.
Also they were askign where they go after the witchfire i said about my idea of the merc company and they seem to like that idea. So were off to fight the Kahrds (probaly).
Right im off to bed night.

Enter The Cygnaran Military
So Friday was our latest session of my Iron Kingdoms Campaign which this week was "filler" (also reffered to as a side quest). I did start out writting this almighty side qwuest as I decided not to use the one what comes with the WitchFire Trilogy as I thought my group could do with somethign a little more intresting. But digreessing I had started to write up the nights quest but unfortunatly things got in the way like work. And wehn I sat down to finnish it I got interupted by mr selly comming over however it did mean I got a new player yays. Hes playing a Nyss rouge whos armed to the TEETH. Its all pretty cool.
So I decided to Wing the rest. Herse how it went down.
The Arcane Mechanik doing some work for the union overhears 3 men talking to a sailor from his point of view he could see they were Cygnaran Military, he approachesthem gets there story.
The Cygnarans are looking for a group of smugglers who have stollen a vast quantity of cortexes and jack parts (including military grade parts and cortexes). The cygnarans almost had them the other day but thenwell there was the whole undead army attacking Corvis and the group of SMugglers slipped out of there grasp. Now they need help tracking these smuglers down.
So our mechanik goes to find his adventuring party who had been held up in a tavern since the events of the longest night. He walks in to find our gun toting pirate swigging down as much rum as possible and our one armed "dirty harry" gun mage boozin and flitin with a nyss.
He explains the job shows em a picture of there target. The Nyss had seen him in the undercity however she was too sloshed at the time to give an answer and passed out.
The next morning the fun ensues the gun mage and nyss wake up i nthe same bed arcane mechanik comes up to find our gun mage and nyss in a wtf/what in mororws name is going on. So the mechanik asks the nyss if she has seen the man there looking for she had but wanted half the reward which didnt go down well with the group one thing led to the nyss pointing a dagger at the mechanik and the gun mage pointing a gun at the nyss' head which lead to the nyss revealing the Grenades under her great coat attached to string so if they do anythign she releases all the grenades everybody go boom. so the mechanik grudgingly agrees (mainly because he dosent want to be a smear on whats left of the tavern walls).
So they head into Corvis' seedy underbelly where on there way to the bar the nyss last saw the suspect they were ambushed by a gang who wanted all the Crowns (gold) and any other belongings. Unfortunatly the group got there arses handed to them and the party stood ther victorious wit hour pirate now in possesion of a Radcliff Firestorm Pistol from the gang leader.
When they get to the bar they ask around specificaly at the bartender and after being pretty much robbed blind of a fair few crowns get the information on where there target and his smugling crew were hiding out.
They go and check the place out they find 2 guards at the door. The rouge finds a back route but its got alot of rubble around it but she thinks he can get by without making any sound.
So they make a plan Nyss will sneak orund the back and if needs be ambush the enemy if things go badly. The rest of the party were to bluff there way in under the guise of having information on the men tracking them down. it worked (my rolls suck balls).
Wo the Nyss gets in noproblem after sneaking in and unlocking the door. the nyss finds herselves in a dinning hall where two people are talking about getting out of the city one of them has a Khardic accent.
The others entyer through the front and meet the leader of the gang known as boris.
He offers them many crowns for them to take care of the cygnarans and all the jack parts they had aquired except for the cortex'. After the group leaves the Nyss over hears a conversaion between the Khard woman and boris about how they intend to kill the party has done the job.
So the Nyss gets out and relays the information to the party who decide they best ally with the Cygnarans. SO after meetign trhem at there place they com to agreement the reward plus they hget to keep anythign they find so long as its not property of the Cygnaran Military or the Cortexes.
So the group works together to flush out the smugglers. This was goign to be a intrestign fight as I was hoping they would walk in the front which they did and they would be met by one of the smuglers go for a item under a tarp what happened to b a cygnaran chain gun. Unfortunatly The party didnt get much in the way of a challegne as the Nyss primed a flash grenade and tossed it in stunning the smuglers whic where then picked off quickly.
By the end of the battle The arcane mechanik was hauling off a nomad and a mule minus the cortexes and a few parts like arms and heads.
The gun mage came away with a quad iron and the pirate came away with a rifle.
All in all they were happy rewards better than money I belive. Unfortunatly the Khardic woman had vanished along with a cortex.
After stashing the jacks at a steamo storage unit a cleric approache the party and informs them that Father Dumas has summoned them. And thats where we left it ready for the next part of the Witchfire.
Right this post has taken me a flipping weke to write between sleeping and working so now I am gonna sleep as you know were RPing tommorow also I need to finnish Writing the Cygnaran soldiers stats as I think they will make great alleisl ateri n the game.

just a little update today
you know i havebeen painting my minis of late and i hought Id show everyone how far I have gotten.
BEHOLD from left to right - Vahn oberon (iron kingdoms - witch fire trilogy), Alexia Ciannor (witch fire trilogy - iron kingdoms), Miyamato Musashi (Infinity) and the big guy at the back is my Sprigana khadoran heavy warjack.
My sprigan im very proud off just because its not all red!!! I went and added another colour that wasnt a metal AWESOMENESS!!!
Ohberon isnt very red for my liking. Ill probaly go over Ohberon next with a coat of blood red snd p3 red ink mainly to pick out the folds in the robes.
alexias jacket i am pleased with. Its a mi of scorched brown (games workshop) and blood tracker brown (p3) iron wht ive then washed over with ogryn flesh (games workshop). Ohberon and alexia are from the iron kingdoms minatures range and featurei the witch fire trilogy. I have picked up all the Witch Fire Trilogy miatures and so far have completed only father dumas (whos missing an arm)
helstrom will be on the workbench later on after ive finished my current 3 miniatures. He will be joining Scarlet Kylies pirate minature from our dnd games.
I think ill paint alexia quite pale as she seems the pale kind.
Miyamato even though you cant see it properly hes standing on one of the street scenic bases from black cat bases. There awesome. and to be honest I dont think i did not even i have still need to put a base on him its got a big enough base as it is. Hes from the infinity game range and I still have to build his entire team and there support mech fuuuuun.
Right back to fixing my pc and going to sleep cause work tommorow /sigh
EEEEEEH LAST THING I WON A BID FOR A IK CHARACTER GUIDE YAAAAAAY
