The arrival of the Warjacks


Finally my order arrived! 3 Heavy Warjacks and 3 Storm Gunners for my Stormblade unit. I still need to get hold of some magnets to be able to switch weapons on my plastic warjacks.. which is kind of the whole point with getting plastic-multi-part kits.

From the Ironclad/Defender/Cyclone kit I will most likely use the Defender when playing Siege or perhaps use him with Arlan. I already have an Ironclad so I won't be getting much use of his kit. I'm not so sure when I'll be able to use the Cyclone, but I can see him being use full with the ATGM. If you compare the Defender with the Cyclone it pretty obvious. Do you need to kill big heavy Warjacks/beasts, go for the Defender. Need do grind down huge units of infantry, go for the Cyclone.

The Avenger/Hammersmith/Centurion is a very interesting box. I want to try them all in different setups. The Avenger can wrack havoc with its huge know-down cannon. The Hammersmith with "Positive Charge" can do some impressive damage on the charge. And the Centurion with "Arcane Shield" can get ARM 24(!), pretty use full for holding points and being a pain in the ass.

The Stormgunners are pretty much a "must-have" attachment for the Stormblades, and maxing the unit is always a good choice if you have the points to spare. If you have access to the "Dead Eye" spell you can pretty much guarantee a full unit hit.

I will try them all out in the coming months, but I feel that I already know what kind of Jacks I want to play with.
