A concoction of reinforcements coming to the Crucible Guard

The laboratories of the Crucible Guard have been rattling all week, and now we know why. Today, a wave of alchemical brilliance takes onto the battlefield.

From customisable warjacks to a trio of unstable geniuses who shouldn’t be left unsupervised. Whether you want to start a Crucible Guard force, power up an existing band of alchemists, or simply enjoy watching things explode in interesting ways, today’s rack of alchemical pre-orders have you covered.

Syvestro lights the fuse

Marching out of the Midfast Foundry today, the Crucible Guard Battlegroup Box is the perfect expansion for anyone curious about mixing science with the brilliant versatility of Crucible warjacks.

Syvestro leads a pair of adaptable chassis that show off everything the Guard does best: precision, chemistry, and the occasional plume of smoke rising from whatever was unlucky enough to be standing too close.

Inside the box, you’ll get both a heavy and light warjack chassis, each with a full suite of build options.

The heavy chassis can become a Vindicator, Toro, or Suppressor, while the light chassis assembles into a Retaliator, Liberator, or Vanguard. With part options to kit out both to your needs.

It’s a flexible expansion force perfect whether you’re building your Crucible Guard up from the Command Starter scratch or including them in a finely distilled army list.

The Battlegroup box makes an excellent pair with a Command Starter, so why not grab yourself the new Crucible Guard Command Starter while you’re at it and introduce yourself to the self-made warcaster Lukas Di Morray, warjack Apollo, and his Triumvirate crew.

Prefer to print your own mechanikal marvels? The whole battlegroup is also available as STLs on MyMiniFactory.

Eira Mackay takes the wheel

Also rolling into pre-order next week is Captain Eira Mackay & the Railless Interceptor.

Eira’s a young warcaster with more talent than patience, and her father built a 150-ton locomotive-tank to keep her alive. Now you can soon field her riding atop that steel monster… or run the Interceptor as its own independent battle engine.

The Railless Inteceptor is a marvel of the Crucible Guard's ingenuity and a testimony to the fact that where the Golden Order is going, they certainly don't need roads.

You’ll soon be putting a roaring, armour-plated railless fortress onto the table, and your opponent’s going to feel the tremors long before the shots start flying.

Athanor Locke is coming for hi-fives

Sharp-minded, long-armed and very nearly airborne, Athanor Locke is now available to pre-order, releasing January 29.

Locke’s experimental armour frame and servo limbs let her vault straight into the thick of battle, where she makes short work of anything foolish enough to stand still. She’s fast, she’s focused, and she brings a distinct “please don’t touch the prototype” energy to the battlefield. Typical Cyrissist.

Time to Locke & load, pre-order now

Apollo breaks out of orbit

Also landing in pre-order today is Apollo, the Command Starter’s slick light warjack — now available on its own.

Apollo represents the latest advancement in the lineage of Vanguard warjacks, purpose-built exclusively for the service of Aurum Legate Lukas di Morray. 

This cutting-edge warjack features an experimental arc node, a sophisticated enhancement designed to significantly broaden the tactical reach and battlefield influence of its warcaster’s spells. 

Apollo is also equipped with a sophisticated suite of surgical implements and an alchemical ampule launcher, both of which serve as formidable assets in combat situations.

Unwaveringly loyal to and protective of Lukas di Morray, a quirk Apollo’s behavior that several observers have described as both fussy and neurotic. When not actively engaged with enemy forces, the warjack dedicates its full attention to the wellbeing of the Aurum Legate.

Apollo releases January 29.

Pre-order Apollo and launch him into your army

If minds are a fortress, the Ascendant Mentalist is a castle.

Trancers usually burn fast and die young. The Ascendant Mentalist didn’t get that memo.

Pre-ordering today and releasing January 29, this anomaly doesn’t crumble under its own alchemical power. Instead, it grows stronger, unlocking psychic force that hits harder, reaches further and leaves a faint smell of scorched grey matter in the air.

Three alchemists, one volatile result

The Triumvirate rounds out today’s pre-orders. Three individuals bound together by Lukas di Morray’s warcaster elixir and absolutely not bound by common sense.

Each brings their own unstable brilliance and concoctions to the field, layering combat alchemy, precision strikes and a touch of heroic self-destruction into one tightly coordinated threat. They shouldn’t work together… but somehow they absolutely do.

Pre-order today, then put them to the task when they launch January 29.

Three minds. One purpose.
Hire the Triumvirate

That's all for today folks, remember to keep an eye out for more Crucible Guard pre-orders coming next when Eira Mackay arrives in the Railless Interceptor. Until then, keep those bunsens burning and test tubes racked.
