BATTLING HUNGER: FOODMACHINE 2014

For nine years now, the annual Foodmachine charity drive has made a difference inthe lives of people in need. Created by the St. Louis River Dogs, Foodmachine hasincreased in popularity and food and nancial donation levels each year. In 2013,the organization collected over 42,000 cans of food and a record $7,130 to benetAction Against Hunger.

The drive now stretches around the worldlast year included events in Canada;the United Kingdom; Reykjavik, Iceland; Malaga, Spain; and Munich, Germany.The top overall donations came from the Buffalo Wargamers from New York with18,636 cans, while the top average donation came from Vault Comics & Games with1,017 cans per player. The highest donation by any single person consisted of 950

cans of food, from Chris Swasey of the Buffalo Wargamers. In keeping with theseexceptional standards, the events leaders encourage Privateer Press Gangers andother event organizers to hold local Foodmachine tournaments and to collect foodor cash donations for local charities that help people right in their own hometowns.

PROJECT

ORANGE CRUSH

The Orange Crush Army is an orange-themed army painted by volunteersfrom around the globe. Every dollardonate earns you another chanceto win the entire army, along withadditional prizes from Privateer Pressand other game vendors.

This years Orange Crush Armywill consist of forces of the Legion ofEverblight, with a trio of army listscreated by Charles Arrasmith (Omnus)and Chuck Elswick (bulldog). Youcan check in on the army as it racestoward completion at razoo.com/thrallharvest2014. And while yourethere, take a moment to donate to the

cause. A sign-up sheet will soon beavailable on handcannononline.com/foodmachine2014 along with somepainting suggestions for Project OrangeCrush Army models you may wish todonate. Over the years, Orange Crushhas had models painted by some of the

best miniatures painters in the world.This year, once again leading the charge,will be Privateer Press Matt DiPietrowith Absylonia, Daughter of Everblight.

FOODMACHINE EVENT ORGANIZATION

In early October, event organizers can download an event packet athandcannononline.com/foodmachine2014. This rules pack will help organizersstart their own Foodmachine events and even includes suggestions for how topublicize the drives.

The more players

give, the more they can cheat.After the event, organizers report their collections to [email protected] so Foodmachine central can track the success of this worldwide event. If youvealready held your event this year, please email the results right away; otherwise,Foodmachine encourages you to plan your event to occur between November 1, 2014,and January 15, 2015, and to email the results as soon as the event concludes.

PRIVATEER PINS TAKES AUTUMN BY STORM

In just a few months, every WARMACHINE player will get

a chance to battle in the brand-new WARMACHINE: Tactics

game; not every WARMACHINE player, however, will get

a chance to add the new Privateer Pins WARMACHINE:

Tacticspins to their collection.

In the wake of major pin releases at Lock & Load GameFest

2014, San Diego Comic Con, and Gen Con, Privateer Pins

will release at the end of the convention season a limited-

edition set that includes an impressive seven-pin lineup in

support of the new video game. Featuring six key characters

and the games logo, the WARMACHINE: Tactics set is

limited to a run of only 300 and will be available exclusively

through the Privateer Pins website.

The Kickstarter campaign gave us a strong sense of just

how popular the video game will be with our players, saysPrivateer Press Director of Business Will Shick. We wanted

to give those players who also collect Privateer Pins a chance

to add something really unique to their collections. Once

this set is sold out, Shick says, it will never be reprinted,

increasing its collectability.

September through November brings more new pins for

collectors of faction logos (Minions), Gobbers (the Gobber

Mage Hunter), chibis (Aurora, Numen of Aerogenesis

and the rst two-pin pin of Kaya the Moonhunter and

Laris), and even a special zombe warcaster Halloween set.

The Privateer Pins website, privateerpress.com/pins,

continues to be the go-to source for information of all thingsPrivateer Pins related: release dates, availability online, and

upcoming launches for the entire program. Its also a good

place to acquire unlimited pins and to plan ahead for trading

at conventions with Privateer Press staff and volunteers

who may have limited-edition pins.

WARMACHINE Weekend is coming up this November in

St. Louis, Shick notes, and well be there with some rare

pins to trade, including an exclusive con pin. We anticipateplenty of trading opportunities for our collectors.

15/11613PRIVATEER PINS

FOR MORE PINS

PRIVATEERPRESS.COM/PINS

At this past summers cons, we heard quite a few

suggestions from collectors about what we should do

next, Shick says, So, the line keeps growingwere

adding a Minions faction pin, a unique Holiday Sale pin,

and quite a few surprises yet to come, including some of

those special requests.

By the end of 2014, the Privateer Pins line will consist of more

than 125 pinssome extremely rare, like the UK Nationals

event pin, and some available only through trade, from an

event, or for achieving key successes in competition. And

the line will expand even further in the coming year.

We have determined our Privateer Pins releases through

the rst half of 2015, Shick says. The individual lines getstronger and the points of entry get even easier. In the end,

we want to give collectors the very best we can with every

single pin in every single release. Thats our pin plan, and

were going to stick to it.

For pin collectors who have not yet had a chance to trade

with Privateer Press staff and volunteers, the guidelines

are pretty easy to master. Once you nd a crewmember

wearing a lanyard with Privateer Pins on it, simply offer

an ofcial Privateer Pin in exchange for a pin on the

crewmembers lanyard, and the deal is done!

A couple of things to keep in mind: your pin cant be

damaged, has to have its original backer, and cant be

a pin already on the crewmembers lanyard. You can

only trade with the crewmember once per day, one pinfor one pin, and you cant trade for a pin thats not on

the crewmembers lanyard (crewmembers often display

upcoming pins that havent been released yet).

USING ABSYLONIA,

DAUGHTER OF EVERBLIGHT

Absylonia, Daughter of Everblight may be the factions purest

reection of Everblights will and power. She ts in beautifully

amid an army of dragonspawn, impelling her warbeasts to

ever-greater feats of destruction with each strike she inicts

against Everblights enemies.

The Legion of Everblight already has magnicent warbeast-bufng

potential. Blighted Nyss Shepherds, Forsaken, and Spawning

Vessels stand ready to support a horde of dragonspawn regardless

of the attending warlock, but Absylonia amplies that power

considerably. Her Conferred Rage ability does not require her tosacrice her attacks or her furyit simply works. In her presence,

Abyslonias warbeasts can charge or make power attacks without

being forced. This allows every warbeast that makes a charge or

power attack to enhance its peak performance. The beast can put

that fury capacity toward performing an additional attack, boosting

another roll, or using its animus.

But thats just the beginning. Should Absylonia defeat her foe, her

warbeasts alsogain +2 SPD and MAT for the turn. Thats SPD 8

and MAT 8 for Carniveans, Scytheans, Archangels, etc.and

those beasts still charge for free! With her own SPD 7 and a trio of

initial attacks, Absylonia will be able to trigger the Conferred Ragebonuses reliably, and her Teleport spell allows her to wing away

from danger while her dragonspawn do the heavy lifting.

Her remaining spellsFortify, Psycho Surgery, and Return

Firegive her dragonspawn additional staying power while

her Metamorphose feat cranks up the carnage even further.

Metamorphose boosts Absylonias STR and Reach, and it

provides all of her dragonspawn with +2 STR, Flight, and Reach

on top of the bonuses theyre already receiving from Conferred

Rage. Once her armies are in position, there will be no halting

the maelstrom of destruction theyll wreak in Everblights name.

The first two games in the LEVEL 7 saga,

LEVEL 7 [ESCAPE] and LEVEL 7 [OMEGA PROTOCOL],take place in the present day2014, to be exact.

LEVEL 7 [INVASION] advances the story to 2020, in a

near-future where an alien invasion threatens humanity

with extinction.

/1947

The U.S. government recovers a crashed alien spacecraft and makes first contact with

a dying alien race known as the Ghin. Led by Dr. Cronos, the Ghin had fled their home

world after their species was brought to near-extinction by an incurable plague.

Although the LEVEL 7 games are set in the present and

near-future, the story actually begins in 1947. To prepareyou for your first foray into LEVEL 7 [INVASION], here

is a timeline of important events to bring you up to date

with the state of the world in the LEVEL 7 universe and to

illustrate where each game fits.

OBJECT:

G/X-21478-AP/006The original purpose of this

Ghin module is unknown.

It was acquired from the

Subterra Charlie facility in

the late 70s. Initial testing

indicated that it allowed 1/A

test subjects to subsume

the will of a variety of lower-

grade subjects. More testing

was counter indicated due to

elevated levels of subject loss.

/1953

President Dwight D. Eisenhower

initiates Project Aquarius, a

program to provide sanctuary

to Ghin refugees in return

for exclusive access to their

advanced technology.

Subject: Dr. Cronos Ht:7 5 Wt:248 lbs.

Species:Extraterrestrial Classification:Ghin

Threat: Extremely High [DO NOT ENGAGE]

Dr. Cronos should be handled with extreme caution.

He is the most dangerous Ghin encountered by

the Agency to date. His involvement with the U.S.

government since 1953 has given him insight

into our operational systems and access to other

sensitive information. He is frequently accompanied

by Ghin sub-creatures of class 5 or higher.

/1989

The Soviet Union collapses, ending the Cold War. Now free of the

looming threat of the U.S.S.R., the U.S. government begins to cut

funding and support to Project Aquarius.

/1969

Construction on Subterra

Bravo is completed.

5/18/2018 No Quarter 56

24/116

/ 2014

Escapees in the Subterra Bravo facility destabilize an

already tense situation. Open conflict erupts between the

Ghin and human forces within the base. Having prepared

for this eventuality, the government enacts Omega

Protocol. Combat teams are dispatched to all Subterra

facilities. In the ensuing battles, Subterra Bravo is

destroyed while Alpha and Charlie are reclaimed without

major losses. Immediately before the destruction of

Subterra Bravo, aerial satellites confirm that a small

unidentified flying object escapes the base. The status ofDr. Cronos remains unknown.

/1996

The U.S. government attempts to shut down

Project Aquarius. In response, Dr. Cronos

threatens to expose forty years of government

collaboration to the American public. The

government responds by severely cuttingfunding to the Subterra facilities, leading to ever-

increasing tension between the U.S. collaborators

and the Ghin within the Subterra facilities.

/APR 2020

Dr. Cronos, having monitored the

conflict with the Hydra, broadcasts

a message to the people of Earth.

He informs humanity that the Ghins

ancient enemy, the Hydra, have arrived,

and only he is capable of defeating

them. Most of the worlds leaders

regard the message as a hoax. The

U.S. government, convinced that the

Hydra are working with Cronos, treat

his announcement as a ploy to gain

the support of the worlds leaders and

continue making contingency plans for

dealing with this new alien race.

/AUG 2020

A large object is detected entering the solar system, moving

unnaturally and on a vector that will intercept the Earth.

Less than a day later it moves into Earths orbit. Without

warning or any attempt to communicate, it launches a

barrage of objects at the planet. Some of the objects are

intercepted by Earths defenses, but many impact the

planet. These objects carry the first wave of

an alien invasion.

/ SEPT 2020

During the first month of the invasion, it appears the

forces of Earth are holding off the Hydra while suffering

major losses. During these early waves, however, the

Hydra are merely probing the Earths defenses. They

begin the invasion in earnest with a large-scale attack

that disperses poisonous chemical clouds into the

atmosphere. As millions begin to die and

the Hydra, now adapted to fight the humans,

begin to invade, the governments of Earth

are left with no other option than to turn to

Dr. Cronos for aid.

behind-the-sceneslook atthehistoriesandmotivations ofimportant charactersinWARMAC

HINEandHORDES.

Though there are many names among the

disreputable pirate captains of Cryx that evoke

dread, none have the notoriety of the Satyxis

warcaster Skarre Ravenmane or her infamous

agship the Widower. For over thirty years, Skarre

has carved her legend as both a ruthless pirate

queen and a powerful warcaster of the Nightmare

Empire. In the last three years, she has united the

Cryxian eet as no other captain has before her,

and under her leadership, Cryx has demonstrated

a heretofore unseen naval strength.

And yet for all her skill and success, perhaps the

most unusual and fascinating aspect of Skarre

Ravenmane is that she has achieved such a vaunted

position within the ranks of Cryx as a living soul.

This is an anomaly among the great leaders of that

horric nation, nearly all of whom are undead.

While hundreds of reports concerning her exist, it is

impossible to know how many more of her actions go

undocumented, and thus any attempt at a completely

accurate view of her actions is folly. What follows is

as comprehensive a list of all known actions taken by

Skarre, up to the current day, that I have been able to

compile. As always, it is worth bearing in mind that

even my extensive information network has limits

when it comes to the higher echelons of Cryx. I feel

certain this summation is incomplete.

Despite the horric injuries Lymwood suffered in the

attack, he has lived to a ripe old age serving as a clerk

in the Berck Steelhead chapterhouse. I managed to

track down the old soldier and obtain this rst-hand

account from him detailing the raid and his encounter

with Skarre.

GK

My company had been stationed at the quietlittle port of Alecento for nearly fifty yearsbefore I even joined up with the Steelheads.Wurms beard, wed been there so long that thefolks didnt even consider us mercenaries. Wewere more like regular army than the Ordic Armyitself was to them. That kind of feeling, of beingpart of something, well, it makes the job lesslike a job. It becomes about you protecting yourhome. I think thats what haunts me most of all.Why the nightmares have never gone away evenafter almost thirty years of trying to forget.

It started out like any night. I was on second

watch with my squad. The Meredius was so calm.Peaceful. There wasnt a cloud in the night sky.I remember looking out over the vast sea at themoons, filling my lungs with the cool summer air.

Buckley saw it first: a ship, a small knife-likecutter speeding toward the port on the horizon.It was unusual for a ship to come into Alecentoat night, but we had been expecting one of ourregular visits from the Mercarian League,and so we just assumed this arrival was them.The ship didnt attack. It was even flyingMercarian colors. So we didnt rouse the rest ofthe company. Looking back on it, it was like thepirates knew we were expecting a visit. Any othertime and even the arrival of a Mercarian vesselwould have put us more on guard.

Instead, me and my squad simply gathered theother on-duty squad and went down to meetthe ship at port. Menoths Law, their witch of acaptain played it so well. Played usso well.

It wasnt until the boarding ramp hit the dockthat I got that soldiers itch on the back of myneck. The one that tells you something aintright and death is hovering over your shoulder.But before I could open my mouth, a pair of

shadows leapt on us, steel glinting in the orangeglow of the dock lamps. Horned devils they were.Satyxis. Several of my fellows were struck downin mere moments, their guts laid out from theirbellies by the whips of that ships unholy crew.I shouted for Buckley to run back and raise thealarm, but the poor boy was run through by acutlass as he turned to go.

We may have been caught flatfooted, but my boyswere well trained, and we quickly pulled togetherto mount a defense. We might have held, too, atleast long enough for the sounds of battle toraise the rest of the company, but thats when the

captain of that damned ship stepped forward. Illnever forget her face. Sharp features framed bylong, tangled jet-black hair. Lips painted blackto match her hair and her eyes glowing sicklygreen with dark power. A pair of massive curvedhorns jutted from her, and she held a wickedcutlass that glowed blood red.

She uttered some fell incantation, and we were

suddenly swept up within a swirling storm fromwhich a torrent of scalding poison surged, thedrops melting armor and eating through flesh. Asour skin bubbled and sloughed off our bones, thecaptain and her crew simply walked on, content tolet us die slowly and painfully.

Menoth knows I tried to push through the painthe white-hot agony of my seared flesh. I know Imanaged to draw my hand cannon from my hip. Butit fell from my half-burned hand. The last thingI remember is looking up at the ships mast to seethe Mercarian colors fall away, and the image ofa horned goat skull over crossed bones unfurl totake its place.

While Skarres innate arcane talents were front and

center during the raid on Alecento, when exactly

her warcaster talent manifested is difcult to

determine. Through no small effort, however, I was

able to narrow down a small window during which

this burgeoning power seems to have manifested.

Using my extensive contacts, I was able to procure

this Khadoran report that details Skarres capture

of the Khadoran Navy Vessel Ivanovich. A ship she

would later rename the Bansheeand which would

serve as her agship for the next several years.

The capture of the Ivanovich represents the

beginning of Skarres work to build her personal

pirate eet with which to pursue her own agenda.

Skarre continued to gain both notoriety and power

through her continued raids and uncanny ability

to know precisely when to attack mainland naval

ships at their most vulnerable. It was not until

579 AR that Skarre took control of her blackship,

the Widower.

Through one of my many aliases, I was able to brokeran information exchange with the infamous Axiara

Wraithblade. While I am not at liberty to discuss

the particulars of the deal, sufce to say that I have

added an addendum to the original quoted cost

along with this report to represent the expense of

obtaining this critical information.

GK

You want to know of Skarre Ravenmane and howshe came to captain the Widower? The same wayby which any Satyxis worth their salt earnsanythingthrough cunning and killing.

The Widoweralways had a reputation among thecaptains of the Black Fleet. The captain beforeSkarre was a black ogrun called Hellspite. He wascunning for a black ogrun, a natural sailor andpirate. Under his watch, the Widower earned itsname among the other ships of the Black Fleet.But Hellspite was more pirate than anythingelse. He didnt particularly like putting hisfeet on dry land. He avoided mainland raids andfocused instead on preying on merchant ships andlone navy vessels.

Hellspite didnt believe in keeping prisoners, and

he certainly didnt believe in leaving survivors.

At 18:00 a cutter of unknown origin was spottedsouth of our position by the Victory The shipwas flying Mercarian League colors. Orders werepassed down from the Ivanovich for all ships togo to Alert One as is protocol upon the observanceof any unknown vessel.

At 18:45 the cutter passed approximately5 nautical miles from our task force.

At 19:00 our own spotter raised the alarm astwo new ships were seen bearing from the samedirection as the Mercarian League cutter. TheIvanovichimmediately signaled for all ships togo to Alert Three, and battle stations were calledas the ships were identified as Cryxian vessels.Our task force came around with speed to engagethe Cryxian vessels.

At 19:15 an alarm was again raised from thespotter on the Victory. The Mercarian cutter hadsuddenly altered course and was approachingastern of our task force. We now found ourselves

exposed to this new attack, as our attentions hadbeen focused on the threat of the newly spottedCryxian vessels. The Grizzly attempted to turnto face the onrushing cutter while the Ivanovichand the Victorymaintained course to engage theCryxian vessels. The cutter had the wind to itsstern, however, and its approach was too fast forour ship to come about effectively. We were onlyable to fire a single broadside, which fell short,before the cutter slipped behind us and came upon the Ivanovichs port side, blocking it fromour guns. Our sister ships were already engagedin a close-quarter battle with the two Cryxian

vessels that had expertly maneuvered to pullthe two ships out of formation. Before either shipcould react to the new arrival, the Mercariancutter began boarding the Ivanovich. I orderedthe Grizzly to come around that we might aid theIvanovichbut with our formation so scatteredwe were unable to come about quickly. From myvantage point I could see the battle on the deck ofthe Ivanovich. It quickly became clear the piratecutter was no ordinary pirate vessel as ghastly,green-fire-burning warjacks were observed uponthe deck of the Ivanovichin the company of whatappeared to be a Satyxis sea witch.

I saw Kommander Fydor of the Ivanovich engagethe Cryxian warcaster in personal combat. He wascut down at the helm of his own ship.

The Victory exchanged broadsides with theCryxian pirate vessels at close range, but theaction was too late to save the Ivanovichwhichwas quickly overwhelmed by the boarders. TheCryxians turned the Ivanovichs port guns on thealready listing Victory, blasting her apart. Atthis point, I chose to disengage from the battle,being outnumbered four to one.

By 19:30 the Ivanovichdisappeared into the mist

to a fate unknown.

Rumor is he liked to partake in the same ritualsas the Bloodgorgers who sailed with him.Hence why youre unlikely to find mention of theWidower among the mainlanders before Skarretook over as captain.

Ravenmane desired the ship for her own since Ifirst set sail with her. She told me once that theDragonfather himself whispered to her. Told her

the Widower was a vital component in his plansfor her. That with it she would rule the Satyxisand the Meredius. While I cant say if it be theDragonfather himself she hears, there is noquestion Ravenmane has keen insight into theweaves of fate.

Taking the Widowerwas not to be a simple task.It wasnt til after she had amassed a small fleetof her own that Ravenmane revealed her plot tome. She manipulated her way onto the Widoweras an officer under Hellspite. While aboard, sheworked on the crew, insidiously turning manyagainst Hellspite. Using their lust for plunderor their own petty grievances against Hellspitessupporters to bind them to her.

It didnt take long for Ravenmane to be ready tomake her play. I received word to bring her fleetto a specific set of coordinates. There we foundthe Widower alone and adrift, a bloody battlebeing waged upon her deck. The distraction gaveus the opportunity to board, free from the worstof the Widowers guns, Hellspites crew beingdistracted what with Ravenmanes mutiny.

I only saw glimpses of the pairs duel. Hellspitewas far quicker than I would have believed, given

his size. But for all Hellspites strength andspeed, Skarre was simply the greater warrior.She ran Hellspite through with her blade beforeunceremoniously kicking his hulking body overthe rail to be consumed by the dark waters of theMeredius.

Their captain gone, it was only a matter of timebefore the fight went out of the rest of theWidowers loyal crew, and Ravenmanes flag flewupon the main topmast.

Skarre took an extremely active role in the Cryxianterror raids during the Scharde Invasions. Armed

with the power of the Widower and her growing

eet of pirate vessels, she reaped a bloody toll on

the Cygnaran Navy and coastline, striking with

impunity and seemingly at random. It was during

the Scharde Invasions that the name Skarre

Ravenmane and the Widower took their place as

tales told to scare unruly children in coastal towns

into behaving.

While there are several ofcial documents from

various actions that Skarre was a part of during the

frequent clashes between Cryxian and Cygnaran

forces during this time, it is Skarres command

of the battle at Windwatchers Passage that truly

revealed her as something far more than a simple

bloodthirsty pirate raideras a formidable military

leader instead. As one of the largest naval battles

fought by Cygnar on record and the largest nautical

defeat ever suffered by that nation, the Battle of

Windwatchers Passage would certainly have led to

Skarre being noticed by the Lich Lords of Cryx.

My Dear Warmaster,

By now you have no doubt had the opportunityto review the numerous reports detailing the,if I may be frank, disastrous defeat our fleet

suffered in the recent battle of Middlebank atthe hands of the Cryxians. That we could suffersuch a blow is unfathomable to me.

We have oft known of the dangers Cryxian piratespose to coastal cities and isolated merchantshipsindeed, we have even seen their abilitieswithin the engagements during the years ofthe Scharde Invasions. We have observed theunnatural power and maneuverability of theblackships, which we thought to be few in number.But to have these ships engage and defeat one ofthe largest fleet actions this nation has fieldedwithin our own waters? It is unthinkable. Given

such facts I can understand the actions of yourbrother the King in trying many among theadmiralty for treason.

The truth is, we were bested by a better opponent.Outmaneuvered, outsmarted, and out-sailed. Howthe Cryxian fleet was somehow able to ascertainour fleets action and course after leavingWestwatch remains to be understood, but in the end,the element of surprise should have only grantedthem a small advantage, given our fleet was clearlysuperior in terms of strength and number.

I have no doubt that, at the end of our Kings

investigation, several among the admiralty willpay on the gallows the same price paid by so manyof our brave sailors in that battle. Perhaps it isonly fitting, a just punishment for our hubris.History teaches us, after all, that the biggestthreat to any military is complacency.

While I have not been marked out for trial,I cannot in good conscience continue to serveknowing that, in the end, I am just as responsiblefor the failings of the admiralty that led to this.As such, I respectfully resign my commission andpray that Morrow grant our nation the strengthto recover from this egregious mistake.

The following report details the losses anddamages suffered by the Royal Cygnaran Fleetunder Admiral Gallowswood at the battle ofWindwatchers Passage, 11 Trineus, 588 AR.In all, the fleet accounted for 34 ships of the

line and 2,626 guns. This was in addition tothe support elements, which comprised over 21additional ships ranging from cutter to frigateclass vessels, and 223 guns.

Based on official captain reports, it has beendetermined the Cryxian fleet was composed of28 ships of equivalent size to our own ships-of-the-line, of which only three were classified asblackships. The flagship for the enemy fleet wasmarked out as the Widower, which our intelligencesays is captained by the Satyxis warcasterSkarre Ravenmane. One other notable ship wasthe Morbid Angel believed to be captained by

the Satyxis Axiara Wraithblade. In addition,the Cryxian fleet boasted a large contingentof pirate support elements with an estimated 32additional ships ranging from cutter to frigateclass vessels.

The specifics for each vessel are enclosed;however, a summary of the full report followswith notable losses/damages called out.

Axiaras comment that Skarre Ravenmane has

the ability to foresee and manipulate future events

led me to try to conrm the veracity of her claims.

Oracles and auguries are not unknown within

the Iron Kingdoms, and such precognition is not

without precedent. Ultimately, such claims are far

beyond my ability to prove. What I can tell you is

that even a brief look at Skarres record points to

an incredible sense of timing. Skarre is seemingly

able to continually be in the right place at the right

time. It is for this reason that I nd the following

report acquired from the les of the CRS especially

fascinating with regards to Skarres active

manipulation of events to suit her desired outcome.

From: CRS Colonel Cassius Fitzgerald

While Major Haley may have taken great painsto obfuscate her personal trip to Blackwaterin pursuit of the known Cryxian warcaster andpirate Skarre Ravenmane, such a disappearanceby a high-ranking warcaster did not gounnoticed. Following your orders, I trackedMajor Haley to Blackwater three weeks followingher initial disappearance. Though she attemptedto cover her tracks, for all her talents the majorisnt an experienced CRS operative. By the timeI found her in Blackwater, Major Haley had beenthere at least two weeks. I tailed her aroundthat contemptible port for several days, tryingto discern what possible motives she had indeserting her post to come in secret to a den ofCryxian filth. While I found it hard to believe,her actions certainly seemed to point to thefact that her confrontation with the warwitch

Deneghra within the Thornwood might havecompromised her loyalty. Major Haleys truemotives were to become apparent in spectacularfashion, however.

I witnessed Major Haley confront Skarre withinone of the many seedy taverns in Blackwater,one she had determined was a primary haunt forthe Satyxis warcaster during her visits to port.The major, in a canny display of planning, paida gobber guttersnipe to abscond with Skarresweapons, which the Satyxis warcaster hadconveniently stowed upon the bar before themajor engaged her.

the tavern at the first sight of trouble, the pairwere so engaged that it was a simple matter toconceal myself at a vantage allowing me to seeand hear what transpired. After a brief, thoughexplosive, altercation, Major Haley had Skarreseemingly dead to rights and was prepared to endthe Satyxis in retribution for the annihilationof Ingrane, her hometown.

Skarre sought to parley for her life by informingthe major of a plot by the Iron Lich Asphyxiouswithin the Thornwood, one apparently beingcarried out on his own initiative. When the majorpressed Skarre for why shed sell out her master,the Satyxis confessed to Major Haley that she nolonger served Asphyxious but had transferredher loyalties to the Lich Lord Terminus. Thebroader implications for Cygnar of this change inloyalty is unknown to me beyond the conclusionsdrawn below.

The major spared Skarres life and made her wayquickly back to the mainland. Unfortunately,at this point, Major Haley must have made me,as she shook me on the streets of Blackwaterfollowing a particularly riotous commotion,which resulted in a street-wide battle. As such,I was unable to make my report until after theevents that transpired in the Thornwood at theOrgoth ruin where Commander Nemo and MajorHaley engaged forces from Cryx, the Protectorateof Menoth, and Khador.

Given what Ive been able to piece together fromthe reports of that chaotic battle, it would seemthere must be a rift among the Cryxian lich

lords. We have confirmed eyewitness reportsthat Skarre was seen alongside Lich LordTerminus and a sizable Cryxian army in battleagainst the forces of Lich Lord Asphyxious atthat same Orgoth ruin. This seems to corroborateher statements in Blackwater.

If I may venture into some slight conjectureregarding this strange set of events, I believeMajor Haleys encounter with Skarre wasorchestrated by the Satyxis warcaster in order tofurther her own aims. With Asphyxious as a mutualfoe, it seems probable she hoped to set Haley inmotion against him. Otherwise, it simply doesnt

make sense that a warrior of such reputed skillas Skarre would make such a foolish mistake asallowing her weapons to be taken. Nor does it addup that someone of her reported arcane talentswould fail to sense another warcaster in suchclose proximity, especially one as powerful asMajor Haley. Their clash, while genuine to Haley,was in fact a staged ruse.

Uncorroborated reports suggest Skarre maypossess some limited type of prescience. I believesuch power was at work here and that Skarre tooka calculated gamble in setting up the encounterbetween herself and Major Haley in the manner

in which it transpired. Certainly the majorsactions in diverting Commander Nemo to thebattle within the Thornwood ensured Asphyxiousdefeat and the destruction of the temple itselfat a cost far lower in Cryxian bodies than wouldhave likely occurred had our forces not spentthemselves against the Iron Lich initially.

I realize that such claims are impossible to

prove, but all my years of experience are tellingme the official accounting just doesnt add up.

As I have covered in many instances before, the

battle at Temple Garrodh in the Thornwood is a maze

of conicting and often contradictory reports. It is

clear, though, that at some point during the battle,

the Cryxian Lich Lord Terminus arrived with a large

force and attacked the Cryxians under Iron Lich

Asphyxious. Skarre is noted in several reports as

having been present ghting alongside Terminus.

This is perhaps most intriguing, as Terminus has

long been attributed to be the master of Cryxs

dreaded Black Fleet and presumed to be in charge

of the entire Cryxian navy, such as it is. Skarres

aligning herself with Terminus against Asphyxious

would certainly explain her subsequent authority

over such a large portion of the Cryxian eet, as

evinced in the attack on Port Vladovar.

The excerpt below is from the extensive after-

action report led by Khadors intelligence Section

Three to the Prikaz Chancellery concerning the

Cryxian attack on Port Vladovar that crippled

Khadoran naval efforts in 606 AR. For an additional

fee, I would be happy to provide you the complete

document for your review. It is most enlighteningon the subject of Khadors and Cryxs navies.

To: Prikaz Chancellery

From: Kapitan Boris Yugov, Section Three

What follows is an official report on the Cryxianattack on Port Vladovar. The contents of thisreport have been compiled from both oral andwritten testimony of the Khadoran officers whosurvived the attack, as well as from intelligence

gathered from the questioning of Cryxianpirates who were captured during the battle.While this report attempts to be as thoroughand as accurate as possible, as it is compiledfrom witness testimony, certain events detailedcontain conflicting information. Where this hasoccurred, I have left all accounts noted withinthe report.

Section VIII

Though accounts are varied and will likely beimpossible to ever pinpoint given the nature of theCryxian fleet and the chaos that ensued following

the surprise attack, the bulk of the Cryxianfleet was comprised of somewhere between 40 and60 Cryxian pirate vessels. Reports indicate theCryxian ship Morbid Angel, a vessel known toserve as flagship for the Satyxis pirate AxiaraWraithblade, commanded this fleet. Severalships from this fleet were identified as shipscaptured or lost from our own fleet, including theironhulls Ivanovich, Koldstadt,and Makarov.

Reports also confirm that at least 16 shipsfrom the ghost fleet were present and disgorgedlanding parties to serve as the vanguard ofthe Cryxian ground assault alongside their

living counterparts. This included the infamousAtrementous, which our previous intelligenceindicates is the flagship for the so-calledGhost Fleet.

Reports conflict regarding the final count, butsomewhere between 26 and 30 blackships werepresent under the direction of the Widower, thepersonal flagship of the Satyxis warcasterSkarre Ravenmane. The Widower and its blackshipfleet led the Cryxian naval battle efforts whileboth the ghost fleet and a large number of lesserpirate vessels conducted land operations. Onlythe blackship Exhumator was reported to have

made landing at Vladovar. With the elementof surprise and overwhelming superiority interms of ships and guns, the Cryxian blackshipsinflicted a catastrophic defeat upon the homefleet. In total, twelve vessels were capturedand ten others sunk in battle or scuttled by thelanding parties during their assault on the port.

Interrogations of the few Cryxians capturedfollowing the battle have yielded little usefulinformation. The only concrete fact we havebeen able to confirm is that this attack wasorchestrated and led by Skarre Ravenmane. Giventhat, even without exact ship numbers for the

combined Cryxian fleet, this attack representsthe largest fleet action conducted by the Cryxiannavy in Khadoran waters and was comprised ofships from multiple fleets, it seems reasonableto conclude that Skarre Ravenmane has beenentrusted with considerable authority.

It is the strong recommendation of this reportthat the danger and combat strength of the

Cryxian navy be immediately reconsidered andupgraded among High Kommand, and that effortsare immediately taken to recover our navalstrength as quickly as possible. In addition, it isthe position of this report that we should expectadditional fleet actions from Cryx at any time.All other naval facilities should be placed onhigh alert.

The attack at Port Vladovar is unsettling for several

reasons, perhaps the largest of which is that it

showcased the unity of purpose of the Cryxian eet,

including coordinated efforts with pirate raiding

vesselsa conclusion reinforced by CygnarsHurstwallen Report. While I do not believe that

such collaboration was brought about by her hand

alone, there is no question that Skarre represents

one of the most signicant commanding ofcers

of Toruks armed forces. Through a combination

of ruthlessness, cunning, and innate power, she

has risen to a station previously thought to be

impossible for a living mortal. She has bound the

formidable eet of Cryx to her and seeks to use it

to achieve her unknowable vision in service of her

undead masters.

Though the Cryxian eets have proven more than

capable of dealing grievous defeats to the othernavies of the Iron Kingdoms, it did not follow up on

the attack at Port Vladovar as was expected. Why

Cryx was willing to allow Khador the time to rebuild

its naval strength is unknown. Regardless, it is clear

that, should she wish, there are few targets that

Skarre could not strike and be condent of victory.

What her next target might be remains a mystery.

Perhaps it is simply the calm before the storm, or

perhaps whatever has drawn Skarre into the interior

of the mainland has granted the inhabitants of the

Broken Coast a brief respite. Whatever the truth, it

is clear Skarre remains a deadly if unpredictablefoe, one whom the sovereigns and generals of the

Iron Kingdoms underestimate at their own peril.

In this Modeling & Painting series, were going to show you how to convert various Mercenary and Minion units to

match the aesthetic of their preferred client factions. Never content to limit ourselves to a simple palette swap, like

painting Steelhead Halberdiers in Khadoran colors, well expand our focus to converting the models equipment to reect

modications obtained during extended deployments.

My inspirations for this Skorne Gatorman Posse were Nile crocodiles, some of which display a mottled yellow-brown

coloring. I imagined a more arid variety of gatormen living near the waterways of the Bloodstone Marches and

enslaved by the Skorne Empire. Under the command of a paingiver taskmaster, these brutal creatures are brought

into battle adorned with ornate armor and weaponry.

BY ROB HAWKINS

Start by assembling the head, body, and legs of the

Gatorman grunts and puttying any gaps in the joins.We will be using Praetorian Praetor shoulders for the

gatormans knee pads.

STEP 1: ATTACHING THE KNEE PADS

A CB

A) Create some straps for the

armor by slicing strips of thin

plastic card. The card should be

about 1 mm thick and the strips

1/16 wide. Use a steel ruler and

a Formula P3 Hobby Knife to

make straight, even cuts.

B) Apply Formula P3 Super Glue to the

inside of the plastic strip and wrap it

around the back of the models knee. Hold

it in place until the glue sets.

C) Trim the excess plastic and glue the

shoulder pad onto the knee, making sure

the horn points upward.

STEP 2: REPLACING THE HALBERD HEADS

A

C

B

D

A) To give the Gators more ornate weaponry, you can use

any halberd head you like. Ive selected Tyrant Rhadeims

weapon. Begin by cutting away the red-shaded portions as

indicated. Once you remove the plastic halberd blade, use

your hobby knife to whittle away the wrappings on the

gatormans weapon shaft, creating a smooth, even end to

the handle.

B) Cut the end of the weapon handle to match the angle

of the halberd head. For added stability, use a Formula P3

Drill and 0.85 mm rod to drill and pin the parts together.

C) Super glue all of the parts together for the Gatormen

arms and weapon. Check the t on the model to make

sure the spikes on the knee pads dont interfere with the

arm placement. If they do, clip off the arms shoulder peg.

This will allow you to twist the arm a little so the weapon

or hand clears the knee pads.

D) When you are satised with the weapon placement,

super glue the arms onto the model. Dont worry about

any slight gaps in the shoulder joins; these will be hidden

by the shoulder pads.

STEP 3: CONVERTING THE SHOULDER PADS

STEP 5: CONVERTING THE LEADERS STAFF

STEP 4: MODIFYING THE LEADERS HEADDRESS

A) Well use the Cataphract Arcuarii left shoulder pads on the grunts and the Tyrant Commanders right arm for the

leader. Because the backs of the shoulder pads have holes for banners, we need to do a little extra work. Use a hobby

knife or le to carefully remove some of the metal so both sides of the armor match. In the image, you can see the red

areas that should be trimmed away to create the scalloped shape. You also need to remove the Tyrants arm.

B) Add some Formula P3 Brown/Aluminum Putty to smooth over the remnants of the holes and even out the thickness

of the edging. You need to reverse orient the Tyrant shoulder pads on the Gatorman leader as the outside point is

now at the top. Because of this, the horns will be pointing out and down. To get them going the right way, bend them

upward with a pair of smooth-tipped pliers.

C) Attach some plastic strips just as in Step 1, then glue the shoulder pads in place. The Gatorman grunts are nished

now its time to work on the unit leader!

A) Remove the red-shaded skull at the top of the staff to create a

smooth point at which to attach Xerxis back banner. You wont

need to pin the parts together, but use a 1.90 mm bit to drill a hole to

accommodate the peg on the banner.

B) Super glue the two parts together and carefully bend the

streamers so they have a more natural hang.

C) Conceal the join with a little putty. Roll a thin sausage of putty

and wrap it around the staff. Flatten it a little with your sculpting

tool to re-create the staffs wrappings.

A) Carefully slice the feathers off of the leaders head.

B) Trim the little bird skull on his forehead so a Cataphract Arcuarii shoulder pad will t over top. Before attaching this

shoulder pad helmet, trim and putty it as in Step 3.

C) Fill in under the shoulder pad with putty and t the feathers in place. It may be necessary to trim the bottom of the

feathers a little so they t snugly against the helmet and over the plates on the gatormans back.

A) To create Gatormen with a sandy hue, begin by basecoating the model with straight Rucksack Tan. Dont worry

about the armor and weapons, but apply a coat or two to ensure solid coverage.

B) Basecoat the underbelly, including the underside of the jaw, with Moldy Ochre. Then lightly brush over those scales

with a 1:1 mix of Jack Bone and Moldy Ochre.

C) Next, apply a wash of Bootstrap Leather, Gun Corps Brown, and Rucksack Tan to the underbelly. Use a clean, dry

brush to wick some of the wash away from the bulges on the chest and belly.

D) Finish off the underbelly by highlighting the scales with a little Menoth White Highlight.

E) With the gatormans underbelly out of the way, its time to move on to the rest of his leathery hide. Wash the sides,

head, and limbs with Gun Corps Brown darkened with a little Umbral Umber.

F) Apply another wash of straight Umbral Umber on the sides closer to the back plates. Paint this wash into the

shadows between the ngers as well as under the arms and legs, in the eyes, and along the mouth and nostrils.

G) Finish up by using a Formula P3 Small Flat Brush to drybrush the color back up on the gatorman. Use BootstrapLeather and Umbral Umber on the sides and straight Bootstrap Leather on the head and limbs.
