Warmachine MK2

Starting with Commander Coleman Stryker, the following model options expand your Cygnar army with models that exemplify some of the strengths of Cygnar: Ranged Attacks, Electricity, Technology.

Heavy Warjack

Defender painted by Jhall

• Defender Heavy Warjack
• PIP31065

Built from the heavy warjack plastic kit, the Defender gives Stryker a heavy barrel gun to fire at armored targets from far away and a hammer capable of frying warjack cortexes.

Casting Snipe on the Defender gives it a POW 15 ranged attack out to 20." The Defender can pretty much stand still to receive the aiming bonus whenever Stryker neetds it to hit with an effective RAT 8. Provide it with focus for an average POW 25 hit and the ability to threaten a DEF 16-18 model regularly.

Once it gets mixed up in combat, buy additional attacks with focus to deal three hits with the Cortex destroying hammer.

Light Warjack

• Hunter Light Warjack
• PIP31027

The hunter has a wide area in which it can deploy. Not only does it have Advance Deployment to set up closer to the enemy, but it can be allocated focus up to 24" away from Stryker due to its Extended Control Range. Other warcasters will be able to benefit even more.

Allocate a hunter two focus for its armor piercing rounds. Boost the attack and damage rolls as you target ARM 16-20 'jacks that it can reliably hit (typically up to DEF 13, but DEF 15 is possible with the aiming bonus). Once the enemy gets too close, it can use Pathfinder to duck into cover, and Parry to get out of melee combat and continue to use its gun.

And if Stryker's there to cast Snipe, then the Hunter shoots 18" and can advance to fire into the enemy's deployment zone on turn 1.

Infantry Units

• Trencher Infantry
• PIP31014 and 2 blisters of PIP301015
• Trenchers form the advanced deployment front line of any Cygnar army by digging in, dropping smoke clouds, and then assaulting over the top to drive bayonets.

• Long Gunner Infantry
• PIP31018 and 2 blisters of PIP31010
• Long Gunners take a position on the field, combine their shots to create powerful volleys, and stand still to generate additional ranged attacks

Solo

• Squire
• PIP31060
• This new technology grants warcasters additional focus throughout a battle, offers up a reroll on magical attacks, and extends the warcaster’s control area by a small amount.
