View Full Version : The next warcaster

The Cygnar warcasters are so diverse because they fulfilled very different roles before they became warcasters. For example, Stryker was a member of the Royal Guard, Caine was a Gunmage, Siege was a Trencher, Nemo was an old man.
So I'm wondering, when are we gonna get a warcaster that used to be a Ranger? Now I know Kara Sloan has a giant gun which probably has some range on it (at the very least it has reach :p) but I seriously doubt she was a Ranger.
Ah well, I guess I can dream . . .

I always figured Kraye for a Ranger. Don't both Kraye and the Rangers work for the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service?

....... Nemo was an old man..........
I'm pretty sure Nemo was once a young man

Yeah, and Caen was once ruled by giant lizards. XP

From Doug in the IK forums:
Individuals like Captain Jeremiah Kraye are an exception, particularly as he is a warcaster in addition to being a member of the CRS.
Kraye is infact a member of the Cygnaran Reconnaissance Service. Perhaps not the ranger archetype you were looking for, but similar role.

Captain Kara Sloan goes to war as a one-woman rifle brigade. When focused on the destruction of her foe, every warjack she commands becomes linked to the pull of her rifle?s trigger to unleash a barrage of unparalleled accuracy and power simultaneously. Armed with her custom Magelock rifle, she walks into the most vicious of firefights without hesitation and always emerges the victor.
Sounds more like gunmage to me

I think the consensus is that Kara is a gunmage that specializes in rifles instead of pistols (something very rare in the IK)

Don't believe it.
Anyway, what I meant is Nemo was an old man before he became a warcaster. Now he's an old man warcaster.

He was young when he became a warcaster. He's probably the oldest active warcaster outside of Cryx and/or Karchev. He retired of sorts for awhile to work on the technological side, but he was active before and after.

Don't believe it.
It's true! My papap told me so! He said when he was young he travelled in time to before Caen when Nemo was talking to someone named Doug about "storm stuff! I call storm stuff!!!" and his hair was all brown!!!
Papap said so. He also sometimes thinks I'm a shoe.

Do Casters over the age of 65 get senior discounts on their WJ points?

Isn't that splitting hairs? I mean really just because severius was a day or two older and has a walker instead new fangaled of a mechanikal wheel chair?
Kara is a second gun mage caster.....

Does make me wonder what other ranks we could pull a warcaster from. Obviously Sword Knight or Precursor Knight warcasters could be interesting...
But yeah, goblin mechanik warcaster.

mmmmm mounted eStryker....tasty.
other than that I would be very happy too see a Swordknights warcaster, he would be cheap and used as cannon fodder like all other swordknights at the moment :p
But yeah a second Caine I think is more likely.
cheers

oh yes a sword knight warcaster, I can see it now.
Feat: Fanboygasm - Check the date, if it is the third tuesday of the month and you are within 4" of two warjacks all models in his control area automatically take a pow 14 hit.
