Heroes & Villains: Captain Connor McCoy 

This week’s Heroes & Villains shines a spotlight on our newest Gravedigger Apotheosis Warcaster who’s got more bang than most entire artillery teams: Captain Connor "Boom Boom" McCoy.

Known for his flamboyant moustache, colourful scarf, and custom-outfitted assault strider, McCoy brings explosive enthusiasm to the battlefield — and not just because he loves detonations.

"From his slim frame, jocular demeanour and an outrageous handlebar moustache that nearly matches the audacity of his brightly coloured scarf, few would suspect Connor McCoy to be a soldier of considerable skill, much less a warcaster. But underestimating him is a mistake only possible to make until witnessing him on the battlefield, where the fusion of his passions and a broken heart produce astonishing victories over Cygnar’s enemies, time and time again.”

Want to learn how a boy from Orven with a knack for explosives became one of the Gravediggers’ most dependable commanders? You’ll find McCoy’s full lore entry — plus all his rules and stats — exclusively in the Warmachine app

As an app subscriber, you’ll get access to McCoy and other legendary Iron Kingdoms characters' lore entries as they’re released, along with full army-building tools, rules and more.

If you fancy adding a little more ‘boom’ to your battlegroup, Captain McCoy is up for pre-order right now on the Steamforged store.

New Army — Khador embraces the old ways

Under the guidance of Zevanna Agha, the Old Witch of Khador, a new force rises from the wilds in the borderlands of Umbrey. Where others forge armies of steam and gears, the Witch’s horde is one of mysticism and teeth.

No less patriotic than their brethren in the Winter Korps, but unwilling to put their faith in the Empress, the Umbreans seek the preservation of their homeland and the prophecies within.

As new threats encroach upon their homes, these skin-shifting warriors step from the shadows of superstition onto the war-torn battlefields of Immoren. Sacrificing their humanity in hopes that the ends will justify the means, they risk both physical and spiritual destruction as they willingly martyr themselves for Khador.

All will soon be revealed.

Mortenebra, Perfected releases May 15

Mortenebra, Perfected is nearly here! The Cyrissian adept turned Cryxian Iron Lich joins the ranks of Cryx this Thursday, May 15.

Born of the Necrofactoriums and shaped by Cryxian technology, Mortenebra, Perfected is a terrifying new warcaster ready to twist the battlefield to her will. Aligned with the dark will of the Dragonfather and forged in the ever-hungry machine-forges of the Nightmare Empire, her arrival heralds a new age of mechanical horror.

Still haven’t secured your model? You can pre-order Mortenebra, Perfected now from the Steamforged store.

ICYMI: Wargamer Discord AMA reveals

Last week, we hung out on Wargamer’s Discord to answer your burning Warmachine questions, and we might have revealed something colossal along the way...

During the AMA we couldn’t help but show off some candid shots of the awesome minis we’ve been working on

Trollbloods gathered in their masses — Russ Charles is always sculpting miniatures here at Steamforged, during the AMA he shared his newest militarised Kithguard Sergeant Craghorn. War Pygs, anyone?

Once dismissed as folklore, the Feral is very real — a terror reborn from the darkest parts of the Umbrean woods.

And then there’s the Lupine Shifted. Ravenous and ruthless, this beast could probably blow your house down.

Mat Hart has painted up a brilliant Liegeman Hunter!

June’s MiniCrate brings the boom

Greygore Boomhowler has seen battle on land — now he’s taking to the seas.

This limited-edition MiniCrate exclusive, Buccaneer Boomhowler, reimagines the veteran trollkin mercenary as a high-seas raider with a voice that could shatter sails and rattle the dead. 

This swashbuckling variant model is only available via our MiniCrate subscription, and you’ll need to subscribe by May 29 to get your hands on him. Once you’re signed up your model will ship out in June just in time to kick off your summer hobby season with a proper sea shanty.
