can we get over the bear thing? riding bears is stupid. There, I said it. Id rather they ride halfjacks than bears!

I second that.

[Flak Maniak]

Why does it feel like Greylords should ride wolves if we're not getting bear cavalry? Horses just seem wrong to me.

[Darguth]

Greylord Cavalry?

YESSSS!

[tehhelios]

i love greylords, and that character look awsome, maybe give ironfangs tough and add reviele? would fit with the great bears having it..

Yes, large Ice Wolves would be amazing for Greylords.

Zerkovah's Tiers are called Hunting Wolves and Wolves of Winter.

Greylords riding a winter argus would be faaaaaantastic. I approve. Magic ice shotguns eeeeeeeverywhere!

i wanna put uhlans on bear bc theyre heavy cav, and greylords on wolves bc theyre light cav.

[Mustakrakish]

you people...

[Trihnicus]

You have to admit 3Vlad would have been 20x cooler on a Bear.

[Khador247]

Maybe we'll get Karchev on a 120 mm base. He'll be attached to a giant steampowered bear.

[Frege]

Karchev's mind will be implanted into a bear.

You heard it here first.

[Auracco]

Sweet! New toys for the hunting wolves tier list. This light cav unit can be included in the tier list and can actually be used as a requirement to get to tier 2.

[jack frost]

The closer they come to giving me a vlad army of nothing but iron fangs and greylords the better. Everyone else is weak!

[SuperTheBoss]

Anyone else thing the mohawk on the IFKovnik is a little exaggerated looking in the art? I approve of it being there to fit in with some of the other elite solos we have, but I'm really hoping it doesn't end up that gigantic on the actual model. I'm also a little sad he doesn't have a blasting pike.

[jack frost]

Can someone screengrab the kovnik?

[Thenmy]

Can someone screengrab the kovnik?

Sure can!

[HeadHunter]

You could do a tier 4 eVlad army at 35 or 50 points with just Iron Fangs (well, and Drago and the dog). I don't know if it would be very effective, but it could be. Only thing you'd be missing are the Greylords.

[volt_ron]

I could see them losing shield wall, crit KD and a POW (down to POW 12), gaining weapon master (or maybe something like Demo Corps having either WM or backswing as *Attacks), getting Relentless Charge on the base unit (instead of the UA) and MAAAAAYBE Defensive Line. Basically trading in some survivability for extra offensive punch.

That sounds awfully familiar...

[Karl Eller]

That sounds awfully familiar...

Well yes, but without tough, 5 boxes, not having Backswing AND Weapon Master, or 360 LoS, MAT 6 instead of 8, not steady, etc. Individually less powerful, but there would be more of them.

[Octavius_Maximus]

I hope they do different things than the Great Bears.

[Marth]

Me, too. But Greylord Outriders make me go "Screw Colossals, I can't wait for the next book!" (Hopefully, it has some campaign system included)

Good job on the viral marketing, PP, we're bound to either implode with disappointment or sing your praises when the next book is/the models are out...

[OrsusSmash]

Slightly off-topic, but that's one of the reasons why I thought Colossals might be a lean book (before everything was spoiled.) They dropped that Eiryss3 preview info awfully early, and the only reasons they'd do that is if either 1) the next Warmachine book isn't that far off, or 2) they're trying to maintain hype. The best reason for either or both of those would be because the Colossals book is small, and here we are.

Still, great way to recover the fumble. Now I'm excited for the potential of these new models, excited for the models we don't know about that are also coming down the pike, and excited to try out Conquest and Vlad3 knowing that more new stuff is coming relatively soon.

Without reach/CMA they would need to be MAT7.

MAT7, low power-ish weaponmaster or the Demo Corps approach. Konvik granting, among others, ranked attacks. for IF models in its command area.

I think I heard that the next book is slated for next year; for some silly reason I always thought that book releases took more than a year, but counting backwards it seems like its more or less one book/year....I'm probably basing my "expected book publication rate" on the early pre-Hordes days many years ago.

But that does mean my wallet will be haemorrhaging money a lot more often than expected XD

It'll be interesting if it actually results in an appreciable difference in actual models released. They said the IF Kovnik sculpt was in house. If they go back to the "half before, half after" method, we're probably going to see more or less the same rate of releases over the next year.

[KhaosSpectyr]

how about ironfang greylords!

[wiking]

Thinking Ironfang as Varangians with blunderbusses as pistols and 2 handed halberds

Greylords on shaggy mountain running thru snow seems apt so that later they can be used for kossites

[tjhairball]

I would rather have the Greylord cavalry have a wolf mascot attachment than actually riding wolves.

[mostholycerebus]

The fangs unit sounds like a stretch to justify why Great Bears have axes, and boost plastic IFP box sales. Unless they have halberds, AKA: axe on a long stick.

[sliganian]

Considering that -- upon review of my most effective units over time -- that GreyLord Ternions really do go to the top my 'best' list, I am insanely happy with the idea of Ternions have greater mobility.

I won't be excited about the cost, however, if it is on par with Uhlans. C$75+ for a minimum 3-horse unit? umm.. no.

[KhaosSpectyr]

uhlans are 60 for 3, not 75

[sliganian]

uhlans are 60 for 3, not 75

OT:
I am guessing you missed the "C$" part of my post. To be fair, the proper designation of Canadian dollars should be 'CDN', so my mistake. A single Uhlan here retails at around $27.00, the box of 3 for $75.

Now, does that price make sense given that the CDN is basically equal to USD and has been for a while now? Nope. Welcome to world of the Canadian retail shopper.

[HeadHunter]

Cosnidering that the Canadian dollar can and has varied by as much as 40% of the value of a US dollar, and especially considering the draconian and ridiculous nature of Canadian Customs in inspecting (i.e., losing) packages sent into their country, it's no wonder. Sometimes it's worth a little more, but it can drop to a lot less very rapidly. If that happens, the manufacturer, distributor, and merchant want to make sure they're not going to lose money to the volatile nature of currency conversion rates.

I'll let you in on another reason why you'll never have a true parity between the American and Canadian dollar - all the Canadian shoppers who come down to the States, buy products (especially clothing), discard the tags and packaging in the parking lot, and fail to declare it at the border on the way home. So not only is the money leaving the Canadian economy, but they're not even claiming any duties.

[Octavius_Maximus]

Standard Iron Fang Stats with ARM 13.

Weapon is a 2 Handed, non-reach, Axe with Pow 12.

They have Relentless charge Vengeance, Defensive Line and Brutal Charge.

That would be cool, i think for Iron Fang unit with Axes.

The Kovnik can grant Unyeilding (+2 Arm in Melee) to Iron Fangs, making them ded ard.

[frostaxe]

It looks like ammo pouches under his left arm. I will have to look when I get home but I dont recall standard IFP having them.
