When the Devourer calls, the lords answer

The wild heart of Umbrey beats louder this week. In the shadowed woods of Khador, from the Devourer Wurm’s whispered call emerges the hunters — a furious new legend takes the saddle.

Alongside this long-awaited reveal, Kapitan Kazimir Morozov rides to glory, and Lock & Load 2025 is bringing you a weekend of battle, camaraderie, and clanking steel.

Today’s TL;DR

• Lord of the Hunt revealed – A devoted new solo thunders out of Old Umbrey’s cold borderlands, riding beneath the gaze of the Devourer Wurm. See the Lord of the Hunt and their abilities today.

• Kapitan Kazimir Morozov barges into battle – The Umbrean patriot rides at dawn! Morozov releases this week.

• Lock & Load 2025 – Early swag, and a full weekend of Warmachine at Warfaire Weekend.

• P3 Grandmaster — Painters, wet those brushes and edge your highlights for Lock & Load and AdeptiCon.

The Lord of the Hunt seeks its trophy

Avatars of the Devourer Wurm, each Lord of the Hunt was once a faithful servant who sought larger and larger trophies to please the Wurm and earn its favor.

With their entire life devoted to service and the thrill of the hunt, they tried to amass the greatest offerings in hopes of recognition. Those who succeeded were rewarded in kind, as they live eternally, endlessly hunting trophies atop their granted Dire Wolf mounts.

Trophy Hunter ability lets the Lord gather corpse tokens from every worthy kill, unlocking new strengths as the pile grows.

With each token, it hones its senses, seeing through stealth, throws more javelins, and eventually becomes nigh unstoppable with Hunt Eternal granting the Lord the strength to pursue its targets with reckless abandon.

Add Fortune Hunter to the mix for a little extra bite against enemy characters, and you’ve got a Solo that hits hard, hunts harder, and never stops closing in on its prey.

If you don’t find the hunter, the hunter will find you. The Lord of the Hunt is coming. Pre-order arrives this week.
