Today, the Crucible Guard isn’t slowing down their forges and labs. If anything, they’re doubling down.
A fresh wave of reinforcements is here for recruitment, bringing more of the Order’s finest (and most volatile) creations onto the battlefields of Western Immoren.
Whether you’re reinforcing an existing force or fine-tuning your guard’s list, there’s plenty of steel to replenish the ranks of your Crucible Guard.
Built for the job
At the heart of this release are the ingenious workhorse warjacks of the Crucible Guard battalions.
Customisable warjacks lead the charge, giving you flexible loadouts to suit your playstyle.
Whether you’re leaning into the raw firepower of heavy warjacks, Toro, Vindicator, or Suppressor, or the precise, surgical strikes of the light warjacks Liberator, Retaliator, or Vanguard, these chassis are designed to adapt to the mission at hand.
Alongside them, your core forces are ready to march. Crucible Guard Infantry brings disciplined firepower backed by their Officer & Standard bearer.
While Mechaniks keep everything running when the pressure’s on.
And if you prefer to strike from above, Rocketmen, and their Captain are ready to take the fight to the skies.
Tools of controlled chaos
The Order of the Golden Crucible often deals with hazardous materials. That’s where the more specialised elements come in. Assault Troopers bring the heat up close, Containment Operatives handle the messier jobs, and Combat Alchemists do what they do best, hurling unstable concoctions in the enemy's general direction.
Supporting them, Rocketmen Gunners extend your reach with precision firepower, giving you even more airborne ways to apply pressure exactly where it hurts.
Experimental results may vary
Then there are the… less predictable assets.
The guard also deploys its solo operatives, including the daring Rocketman Ace and the daredevil Rocketman Stinger.
Heavier support is also requisitionable from the Midfast armories — the Dragon’s Breath Rocket will give your enemies a salvo of caustic concoctions to worry about.
Storm Troopers bring shock and awe, wielding mighty Pneumatic Cannons that can deliver pounding strikes to the enemy, applying serious pressure to large ranks.
Not every experimental draught is a success. But on the battlefield, even the failures have their uses to the Crucible Guard. Failed Experiments are exactly what they sound like: unstable, dangerous, and surprisingly effective when pointed in the right direction.
Reinforcements, at the ready
The Crucible Guard has always thrived on innovation, refining their forces through constant experimentation and adaptation.
Now, with this latest wave of breakouts available to pre-order, you’ve got more tools than ever to build, tweak, and perfect your alchemically enhanced force.
So whether you’re reinforcing your front line, expanding your options, or just looking to unleash a bit of alchemical chaos…
It’s time to get those reinforcements on the table. Show us what’s cooking in your foundries over on Discord, or tag your concoctions with #warmachine, #paintmachine on Facebook, Instagram or Bluesky.
