Alchemy, innovation & new recruits — Crucible Guard drops at Lock & Load

Warmachine's Crucible Guard just rolled into Lock & Load with science, strategy, and a wisp of toxic smoke in the air.

Unveiled in the Warmachine keynote, the long-standing alchemists of Llael got the spotlight with the immediate launch of their Command Starter — immediately available to order both as physical models and as STLs to print at home — opening of the Battlegroup Box pre-order, and announcement of entirely new models: Apollo and the Triumvirate.

At Lock & Load? We've got immediate release copies on-hand. Grab your Command Starter from the convention store!

Now, let's dig in. It’s a big day for Llael’s most explosive minds.

Gentlefolk, start your armies — Crucible Guard Command Starter

Led by Aurum Legate Lukas di Morray, the famed self-made warcaster whose genius and ambition burn hotter than his own bunsen burners, this 30-point force puts you in command of the Guard’s most daring experimentalists.

“There are those who hesitate, and those who live.” — Gas Devils - 9th Company

At his side stands Apollo, a (brand new!) light warjack designed for surgical strikes and battlefield support, embodying the precision engineering that defines the Order of the Golden Crucible.

Joining them is the Ascendant Mentalist, a solo who provides protective force auras and mental assaults through forced psychic mastery. 

And for those who prefer a more… combustible approach, meet the (brand new!) Triumvirate: Marie, Rosalind, and Hieronymus, who deliver an explosive mix of brain and brawn.

Whether they’re lobbing corrosive vials and combusting foes or chugging elixirs to deliver numerous crushing blows, their methods are as unpredictable as they are effective.

Hyde-ing behind the force is Aurum Ominus Alyce Marc, a solo field operator who’s turned her own body into a living experiment.

With a single injection of her bespoke serum, she transforms from “Little Alyce” into Big Alyce, a towering alchemical powerhouse ready to smash through enemy lines and take meticulous notes afterward.

Every flash, fume, and detonation in this set tells the story of the Golden Crucible’s relentless pursuit of progress, no matter the risk.

Pre-order — Crucible Guard Battlegroup Box

If your taste leans toward controlled experimentation over chaotic chemistry, Aurum Adeptus Syvestro, the warcaster who leads the Crucible Guard Battlegroup Box, represents the perfect fusion of soldier and scholar. 

Focused and pragmatic, Syvestro refines his craft through live-fire testing, ensuring every engagement doubles as research.

His battlegroup includes the dependable Toro, a 50mm heavy warjack built for endurance and adaptability and true workhorse of alchemical warfare.

Beside it advances the Liberator, a 40mm light warjack derived from the Vanguard chassis and enhanced with a delicate chemoarcanic node, an invention as volatile as it is ingenious.

Together, they exemplify the Guard’s disciplined approach to innovation, where every variable is measured and every victory is a proof of concept.

This box is a powerful foundation for any Crucible Guard army, and a perfect first step into their world of mechanikal marvels and alchemical might.

Be the first to test the formula. Secure your Crucible Guard Battlegroup Box pre-order and prepare for your next great experiment in war.
