Usually, battles are won with weapons of war. Dark Operations wins with you.

Today, you can get your hands on three brand-new Dark Operations unit releases. Each set pairs a unit of mind-controlled dominated grunts torn from their respective armies from within the factions of Western Immoren and repurposed in the Cephalyx Hives. Now under new management, the Dominator keeps them on task and on target.

Footsoldiers of Cygnar, Khador and the Orgoth, you should consult the commanders. You’re missing many skilled warriors who’re now putting their talents to good use as dominated thralls in three new Dark Operations units emerging from the hive today.

Unleash them today as 3D printable STLs

But that’s not all, you can also get the Dominated Stormblades, Winter Korps Infantry and Strike Reavers with their Dominator master all as 3D printable STLs through the Warmachine 3D store on MyMinifactory.

Head to the Warmachine 3D store today and browse the wide collection of all the Cephalyx hive dwellers you can fit on a build plate. Plus don’t forget if you’re a Warmachine 3D tribe subscriber, you can even get 50% off the paid store STLs on top of a packed welcome pack featuring 140+ STLs, including two ready to play 30-point forces, terrain, conversion parts and much more.

Ancient warlords. Relentless hunters.

Also hitting the shelves today: if you’ve been eyeing up the HIPS plastic Frozen & Forgotten two player set, here’s a handy option. The Orgoth Graveborn Command Cadre and Dusk Final Hunt Command Cadre are now available as individual breakout boxes. Each one’s a 30-point force, built to get you playing Warmachine straight out of the box, with full rules waiting for you in the Warmachine App.

As Command Cadres, they’re usable across multiple armies. The Dusk Final Hunt will also be playable in the upcoming Dusk army Fane of Nyrro, while the Orgoth Graveborn will also be playable in the upcoming Orgoth Reaper Covenant.

Dark Operations: Dominated Stormblades

Cygnar’s finest in storm-charged plate… now marching to a very different beat.

These Stormblades wear their broken armour and cruel grafts like badges of honour from their new Cephalyx masters. 

Paired with a ruthless Dominator, these mind-wracked wielders of Cygnaran armaments must’ve fallen afoul of truly cruel tricks to become a puppet of the hive.

This lightning strikes twice. Just don’t expect it on Cygnar’s side this time.

Dark Operations: Dominated Winter Korps Infantry

Khadoran loyalty means nothing to a Cephalyx Dominator grasping your grey matter.

Featuring a rocketeer, gunner and three riflemen grunts, you can bring disciplined Winter Korp volume fire and brutal damage rolls to your Dark Operations roster. The Dominator lurking nearby their new toys to dissuade any who dare bring fresh grey matter into range of psychic influence.

Join us comrade, for the hive. 

Dark Operations: Dominated Strike Reavers

Strike Reavers are bad news for any poor soul brave enough to fall afoul of Reavers ire, but as depraved and brutal as the Orgoth can be, even their maniacal minds can be broken and twisted into committing depraved actions for the Cephalyx hive.

If your plan involves hitting hard, hitting first, and leaving nothing standing long enough to ask questions, start here.

These Reavers strike back.

Assume control

Time to show the forces of Western Immoren what a real fragile alliance looks like. Your latest additions to the sinister Dark Operations are being marched into battle today and are ready to open fire on former allies.
