individual and bendable. This would have lead to them<br />

being much more breakable though.<br />

The last of the light Warjacks of the Menoth faction for<br />

now is the Revenger (bottom-previous page). It is armed<br />

with a halberd, a shield, and an arc node that is used in<br />

conjunction with magic spells. It comes as a six piece<br />

model (body, head, right and left arms, shield, and arc<br />

node) and had a little bit of flash that needed cleaning on<br />

the arms but it went together easily. Having a long pole<br />

arm and shield along with the rotation of the arm joints<br />

lets you put him together in many different poses. The<br />

head of the halberd might end up being a bit heavy for<br />

the thinner pole section between it and the rest of the<br />

weapon so I’d try to avoid bending it.<br />

Protectorate of Menoth Vanquisher<br />

Above you’ll see two views of the Vanquisher, another<br />

‘heavy’ Warjack. As you can see it comes as a six piece<br />

model consisting of the upper torso/shoulders, legs, head,<br />

steam pipes, a morning star in its right hand and a Flame<br />

Launcher replacing its left arm.<br />

It went together very easily and like with the Crusader I<br />

had to dedicate very little time to cleaning it. If you plan<br />

to bend the chain on the morning star just be careful not<br />

to weaken the joint.<br />

If you didn’t get a chance to pick up the IK:Warmachine<br />

figures during their debut at Gen Con you really missed<br />

out. They should be available with the regular release of<br />

the game. I would expect that the prices will remain the<br />

same as before, but in no way am I guaranteeing that so<br />

don’t come looking for me if they went up.<br />

The Butcher of Khardov had a price of $8.99 USD, The<br />

Vanquisher went for $14.99 USD, and a set (top-left)<br />

consisting of the Menoth Warcaster, the Crusader, the<br />

Repenter, and the Revenger went for $29.99 USD.<br />

The Warjacks have an obvious use, outside of<br />

IK:Warmachine of course, as Golems or Shield Guardians<br />

in Dungeons and Dragons. If you are playing in the Iron<br />

Kingdoms setting then their use in your campaign will be<br />

even more prolific. All of the Warjacks are also supremely<br />

useful as robots or dreadnoughts in Warhammer 40K or<br />

other sci-fi games. I can certainly see them stomping<br />

across the board in Inquisitor also. Overall, they are<br />

really, really nice figures that have a myriad of uses.<br />

I’m really hoping that the IK:Warmachine line of figures is<br />

just that start of things to come from Privateer Press.<br />

Almost everything in the Monsternomicon (see review on<br />

page xx) would be great if made into miniatures.<br />
