Next character jack who, what, why.

[Steamwitch]

Im hopeing for another cheap one like drago. Personally Butcher could use one. Im hopeing for a marader at 8 or 9points. Fluff wise it could be one of the old batterd jacks he originally showed up with. Zerkova could use an affinity based arcnode that is orgoth powerd on a devestator. Because we all know if all of khador gets a node khador would not be what it is. Irusk i dont play too much but i wanna say spriggan but then we would be getting a behemoth pricetag on it. Karchev is sadly MIA so idk what he would get, his old chassis?

[m3g4tr0n]

I'd like to see Zerkova get a character w/ an arc node.

[ReaverQueen]

I'm guessing we're either going to see a character Spriggan/Demolisher/Devastator or something for the plastic clamjack kit, or, we're going to see a character Kodiak.


However, I am hoping that PP continues to give us these really unique ( but not OP ) character jacks that are on a recognizable frame, but aren't really what they are. Torch is on a Decimator ( we might get Epic Torch! ) but he's a lot different from one outside of the saw. Black Ivan is a Destroyer but his claw is a completely different weapon and his stats and abilities are completely unique.


So even if we get a character Spriggan... it could end up being the Khadoran version of Gallant or something. lol. Clamjack with a big ol' sword and shield stomping around laying waste to Cryx.




I'm really hoping for a "generic" character warjack though, like the Behemoth. One that is good on its own and doesn't have points sunk into an affinity or something. So I can use it with pretty much any warcaster I want. ( Always feel bad using Black Ivan outside of Harkevich because that affinity... so good. )

[Mercykiller]

Character Kodiak for Irusk. It's been a long time coming.

That said, it'd be logical to give character jacks for the new plastics kits; in our case, clamjacks.

[HeroZero]

The next character jack will be a plastic clamjack derivative with 9-12 point range. Likely a character spriggan chasis with an arm swap to be a thresher type attack with bulldoze and quick work with its guns.
Oh and it will be for irusk or butcher.

[ToAzT]

I want a Kodiak for Butcher and I want it to have reach and thresher. >=D

[Alzer]

I've been hoping to see a Character kit from each of the "alternate chasis" kits. I think a Character Devestator would be kinda odd. Spriggan would make the most sense I think. Especially with Irusk, he seems to be a big fan of them in the fluff.

Devastator with the equivalent of Eye of Menoth would be hilarious.

[ReaverQueen]

Character Devastator with: ( note these already have actual names so use those instead )

suppresion: while within like... 5" enemy models lose Incorporeal
krielstone thingy: while within x" continuous effects on friendly models immediately expire
Girded
Rain of Death
Shield Guard

Character Spriggan. I don't care who gets it, I just want one.

Also, I'd rather Zerkova's jack got something more interesting than just an arc-node. Like, if it was a character Vanguard (or other defensey jack) designed to stay near her, maybe have it extend the range of her spells or do something else similarly interesting.

[ReaverQueen]

Old Faith Cinerator Bastion Spriggan

[Steamwitch]

thats acctually a cool idea. But it would suffer from not haveing a simplw rule like arcnode it would have that wording on it but it sounds cool

Love this idea, don't even know what fail safe is.... What's fail safe? Lol.

[Raktra]

Ignore crippled systems I believe.

I'm hoping we get a character Spriggan for Butcher. The Spriggan's one-liner above his art shows that Butcher thinks highly of them, so there's always a chance...

[Shwan]

Two Words:

Epic Torch.

[KhaosSpectyr]

i dont think we'll get another character jack with reash, thresher, and the heavy boiler since you just described Beast 09 (minus pathfinder) lol

[ToAzT]

I just want reach+thresher+smash and grab.

If only for how hilarious the rules would be.

[Khador247]

I could see Irusk getting a character Spriggan since the plastic kit is coming out (finally) later this summer. The bad part is that a Spriggan is already 10 points so it better be awesome and it better not cost more than 11 pts.

[MrSock]

Let's start with casters who currently have character jacks. Since most character jacks (Behemoth excluded) belong to a specific caster.

Sorcha -> Beast 09 (Juggernaught)
Vlad -> Drago (Berzerker)
Harkevich -> Black Ivan (Destroyer)
Strakhov -> Torch (Decimator)

I might also include the Old Witch in this group:
Old Witch -> Scrapjack (Unique)
But Scrapjack isn't an existing chassis and there might be room for another character Jack with the Old Witch. Personally I think a character Kodiak would be awesome with her.

Casters without a character Jack:
Irusk
Butcher
Zerkova
Kharchev

Jack Chassis that haven't been made a character yet:
Spriggan
Devastator
Demolisher
Kodiak
Marauder

It's interesting that no clamjack has a character jack yet but they may be waiting on the plastic kit to arrive for the upgrades. Beast 09 could probably be repackaged down to an upgrade kit at some point.
The Kodiak is also a metal model at this point and there may be plans to upgrade it to a plastic group like the others, which would mean a character jack would be unlikely.

That leaves the Marauder as the obvious choice. I like quindraco's suggestion but I think the marauder actually fits better with Irusk, since the marauder is more of a tactical piece than an axe to face one.

I'd also like to see a character jack with Kharchev, my choice would be a character Devastator.

Finally I think a character Kodiak might work for Butcher, or a future "backwoods" caster if we ever get one. Yuri the warcaster or a Kossite caster, that would be awesome.

[John of Arc]

Quindraco's suggestion for a character Marauder is really awesome. I'd take that in a heartbeat. Berserk with ram pistons is also a hilarious image.

I'm calling a character clamjack for Zerkova with Imprint: Arc Node. Or affinity for once per turn arcing. I don't know what else it would have, though.

[Tico Love]

If I were to put money on it, my bet is that the Next character 'jack will be based on the Clamjack Chassis. Only because PP's strategy as of late has been to release a character jack with each new plastic 'jack or beast kit and we are due for that to happen this year.

I think it's very unlikely that we will ever see a Character Kodiak. Based on the fluff, Kodiaks are fairly rare to begin with. However, if a Character Kodiak were to be released, I think it would make sense that it belong to the Butcher. I think the Butcher was assigned to the 5th Border Legion before it was handed over to Sorscha.

[x3tsniper]

Zerkova would be broken with an arc node. more periods........

[Flak Maniak]

I want a character Devastator for Zerkova with an affinity for an arc node. Or a character Spriggan. That would perhaps be cooler. In either case, you'd Bulldoze non-Reach things away so that you could arc spells at them, and in the Spriggan's case, attack them in the same turn. A character Spriggan would be more aggressive with a character Devastator being a 'jack that would likely stay closed even more than the current Devastator and be this impossible-to-destroy arc node that you can't even engage effectively. I'd pay 11 with Zerkova for just a plain Devastator with an arc node affinity.

[Tyr852]

Character Spriggan with warhead and the quote "Why did we not do this sooner" affinity for Irusk. I just don't see the butcher actually caring if he had a warjack with him for any amount of time and given Karchev's current storyline he would have to steal a helljack

I like Zerkova with an arc node in theory but given that our faction is balanced around not having a node available it would unbalance things (I'm guessing there) butcher could hide in the corner and fire obliteration all day (especially of it was on a clam shell chassis O_O) I see that more realistically for MkIII.

[ReaverQueen]

It's a fine suggestion, but I want something more interesting than that!

Maybe a character Marauder that has Warhead when it performs a Slam or something.

[Tyr852]

If it was a marauder I'd hope it would have the ability to not lose combo smite if the arm gets smashed in.

[HRM]

...and given Karchev's current storyline he would have to steal a helljack

...Hey now... Good idea!

[Kræhe]

Torch 2.0 *-*

or an character Spriggan.

And Torch is an Kodiak not a Decimator i think .

[ReaverQueen]

lol...

Next up, Cygnaran character Halfjack!

Epic Magnus can already do this. eHaley can do it with time bomb twice per turn. Believe me, spamming obliteration isn't that big of a deal :P

[Tyr852]

Good point , I will admit I hadn't considered that I guess I just see an arc node being limited to only really lady Z of having good use.

[KhaosSpectyr]

And Torch is an Kodiak not a Decimator i think .

look at the chassis and saw.

A Spriggan with a giant concussion lance?
