WARMACHINE:
Southern Kriels Kithguard
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the jungle
Far from the burning fields of Western Immoren, the trollkin of the Southern Kriels made a promise. No more dying in human wars. No more feeding their kin to someone else’s fight.
They crossed the seas, carved a home in the green jungles of Alchiere and dared to believe the fighting was finally behind them.
Then the Orgoth returned, bringing suffering once more to Immoren, alongside their foul Cryxian and cephalyx allies.
Scattered militias became a single shield wall, the Kithguard, hammered into shape under General Gunnbjorn’s command. Veterans who had stood beside Cygnaran Trenchers and Storm Knights now drill fresh recruits from the Southern Kriels, turning jungle fighters into a disciplined army. Their guns and warjacks salvaged, rebuilt, and reimagined from the wreckage of a dozen nations. Their orders are their own.
This is the Kithguard, marching by the will of kith and kriel.
START YOUR ARMY
Southern Kriels Kithguard Command Starter
From trapdoor to treetop, nowhere is safe.
The Kithguard Command Starter drops you straight into the way Southern Kriels Kithguard really like to fight – not in neat lines, but from the shadows, the tunnels, and the jungle itself.
Leading the crew is Sergeant Hulder Craghorn, a skilled fellcaller and warlock who does not fight fair. At his side lumbers Klangor, a dim-yet-savage mistborn dire troll with a simple philosophy: if in doubt, throw another missile.
And then there are the Scrappers, Craghorn’s tunnelling shock troops. They’re the reason your opponent should never feel comfortable standing near a trap door, especially when the Scrappers are off the field.
Watching all of this from afar is Corporal Rhud Felleye, a once-solitary hunter turned legendary sniper. Meanwhile, deep under the dirt, Pvt. Rattles prowls his tunnel network, a born digger, and Craghorn’s favourite bad idea. Rattles is the one quietly cutting new trap doors, setting up kill zones, and making sure that when the order comes, there’s always a way for the Kithguard to come boiling out of the ground exactly where they’re least wanted.
If you want your games to feel like a rousing tunnel raid rather than a straight-up shoving match, the Command Starter is where your Kithguard story begins.
