Poll: Do you Like the Cyriss Miniatures for Warmachine?

February 3, 2013 2 Comments

Privateer Press released news of their new Convergence of Cyriss faction for Warmachine a few days ago on Temple Con. As a non-WarmaHordes-player, I am picking up some mixed vibes on these from twitter, forums, my blog and elsewhere on the web.

Admittedly, I think introducing a new faction for Warmachine is a tall order. The very cornerstone of its design – Warjacks in every faction – makes it tricky to step outside a certain boundary, risking a certain sameness to all factions, simply due how this basic template they all adhere to.

So here is a simple one!

Scroll through the screens below and let the Privateer Press’ new “Art-Deco” / “Metropolis” design sink in a bit. After that, give me your opinion on the poll below!

I like the jacks and character figures, but think the troops are pretty poor, especially the weapons

Much like mr. Z, I absolutely love the concept, but also find some of the sculpts fell a little short. The tops of the heavy vectors for example seem “lazy”/flat, compared to their arms that look awesomely like made of actual clock/watch pieces, and the small-based infantry (unlike the sketches for the middle) look a little too 50ies retro-futuristic for me.
