Ride the lighting — Thunderhead, Heart of the Storm rules drop
Thunderhead, Heart of the Storm, is Cygnar’s answer to “what if Thor was a warjack”, a walking maelstrom that barrels straight into the centre of the enemy line and turns the battlefield into a storm warning. Built around a revolutionary galvanic generator, the original Thunderhead embodied the height of Cygnaran science. In the aftermath of the Infernal War it was taken apart and studied, and now every Storm Legion warjack owes something of its lineage to this legendary machine.
Rebuilt and ready for war, Thunderhead returns to prove the storm still has plenty of charge left. Creating Drone servitors and using them like multipurpose storm beacons, sending lightning bursts through them to fry infantry, slamming them into enemy lines from a distance, or anchoring them to pull itself around the table. The more Thunderhead lands its hits in a turn, the harder it starts to bite, and with four initial attacks, that damage can ramp up fast. Even when it doesn’t outright scrap an enemy warjack, it can disrupt what’s left standing — how very “Cygnar”. The drones double as lightning rods, too, boosting accuracy in their area and giving you extra angles to bounce electro effects through the enemy like a stormfront rolling across the board.

Iron pride, rebuilt — Behemoth Interstitial
"Vitaly,
Today, the reason for our presence was revealed. A group of senior officials from High Kommand arrived from the capital to observe our progress on various projects, and to explain the significance of our work. They brought with them the warjack we are meant to restore—a machine I had only heard mention of by fellow KMA members and in nationalist papers.
Behemoth.
The warjack is in very poor condition, its various parts contained in several large crates. Sorting through their contents was like looking for a stone in the snow. Tons of shorn metal and damaged parts, all once of the highest quality but now scarred by the weapons and claws of the motherland’s enemies.
The machine’s cortex was carefully packed away in a separate container. They opened it as if unveiling an icon, and for a moment, the whole room went quiet in a way I have only heard in cathedrals. When I tell you what I saw was the height of craftsmanship, please know it is only because I lack the poetic expression to fully capture the mastery in its construction. Every component and machined edge was of the highest quality. There were several pieces so advanced that even now, twenty years on from the warjack’s construction, I cannot fathom how they work or what function they serve.
We have been told to build a body worthy of housing this vessel. Excitement and trepidation war within me in equal measure.
Your brother,
Anatoly"

No machine better embodies Khador’s spirit than Behemoth. Once the mightiest warjack to march under the red banner, it was lost to history and sealed away. When the Orgoth invasion came, Khador needed more than an army; it needed a symbol.The nation spared no expense in making this a reality. Behemoth was rebuilt, reborn as a fortress of pride, grit, and an impossible amount of iron.
Armed with twin Bombards and mighty Blast Fists, Behemoth is a heavy metal menace, ready to defend the Motherland once more.

The super heavy line-up
Cryx Necrofactorium: Deathjack
Once crafted by a half-mad engineer tormented by Infernal whispers, the Deathjack’s motives are unclear, but its hunger for souls is unending. Rebuilt time and time again by those drawn to its cursed remains, Deathjack now serves alongside the Necrofactorium, furthering both its own purpose and the will of the Dragonfather.

Orgoth Sea Raiders: Azdharak
Azdharak is an inspired testament to the earliest and most powerful Orgoth warjack designs, when the ground trembled at the passing of mighty titans — creatures of myth remade by science and steel. Built before the Orgoth’s second invasion and imbued with a shard of Blighterghast, Azdharak carries the unmistakable influence of the great dragons.
It charges into battle like a living inferno. Its draconic frame thrashes with primal aggression, tearing through enemy lines and leaving scorched ruin behind. This towering super heavy warjack embodies the raw brutality and fiery power of the Orgoth Sea Raiders, offering a glimpse into the dark evolution of their growing machinecraft.
