Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,Prepare thyselves for a Warmachine download from Steamforged Games, if like us you're getting really excited for the Protectorate of Menoth you have a real treat in store alongside some top news in regard to something special for Southern Kriels Kithguard. Here's what they had to say:
Dozer & Smigg — Bring the thunder
Somewhere along the way, someone decided that putting a howitzer on the back of a dire troll was a perfectly sensible idea.
They were right.
Dozer and Smigg are now available to pre-order, bringing a truly enormous gun to the Southern Kriels Kithguard army. This super-heavy warbeast combines Dozer’s savage strength with Smigg’s “questionable accuracy”, with the howitzer strapped directly to Dozer’s back.
Of course, getting the gun onto Dozer was the easy part. Teaching him not to panic every time it fired was considerably more difficult. Early attempts involved enraged dire troll rampages, unfortunate Pyg gunners clinging on for life and limb, and the discovery that being strapped to an angry artillery piece with legs is not a particularly safe occupation.
Smigg somehow survived.
The pair have since developed an unlikely bond, with Dozer learning to love the thunder of his cannon and Smigg earning himself a permanent seat, plenty of armour and the dubious privilege of being the troll’s favourite, and only, gunner.
Working alongside the Kithguard, the pair bring devastating ranged firepower to the battlefield, with Smigg ranging targets for the guns while Dozer acts as a stalwart and rather aggressive weapons platform.
A living artillery piece, a super-heavy warbeast and quite possibly the least sensible gun crew in Immoren.
What’s not to love?
Dozer & Smigg are ready to be recruited to your Kithguard army and check out their rules revealed here, to work out how you can fit even more troll into your kithguard lists.
The darkness gathers
The Fane of Nyrro has been gathering its forces for months, and next week, the darkness reaches its crescendo.
Gathering Darkness arrives September 29, bringing the fourth and final Fane of Nyrro Army Box to the tabletop. From the deadly foundations of Executioner’s Toll, to the skullduggery of Death’s Whisper, the calculated menace of Court of Shadows, and now the ravenous forces of Gathering Darkness, the Fane of Nyrro has certainly made an impression on the Iron Kingdoms.
And just when you thought the skies were safe, Styrge Abhorreth is swooping in too.
The new Fane of Nyrro solo will be available to pre-order next Tuesday, September 29, things are about to get even more batty.
Keep your eyes on the skies. Preferably both of them.
The Lawgiver is calling
Menoth isn’t waiting around either.
This week, we’ll be dropping the rules for the upcoming Protectorate of Menoth Army Boxes across our social channels. Follow Warmachine on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram or Discord, so you don’t miss them.
“Wait a minute... wasn’t the Menoth Army Bundle ending September 29?”
It was.
But we’ve heard the Lawgiver, and we’re giving you a little more time to make your devotion.
The Menoth Army Bundle has been extended until September 30, giving you the chance to see what the Covenant of the Flame is bringing to the tabletop before deciding whether it’s time to answer the call.
Consider it a little extra time to contemplate your devotion.
Roll for a good cause
Finally, we’ve got something a little different to round things out.
Baron of Dice has partnered with Operation Tabletop to raise money for their life-saving mission to prevent veteran suicide.
Use code SAVINGTHROW through September 27 to save 10% off your order, and Baron of Dice will donate 10% of sales to Operation Tabletop.
So, if you’ve been eyeing up some new dice, this is a pretty good excuse to roll the dice for a good cause.
Help support a great cause and make sure no seat at the table is left empty.
