The Crucible Guard is led by the warcaster Major Aline Bennet, a warcaster who is accompanied by a versatile heavy warjack that can be built as either a Vindicator, Toro or Suppressor class warjack; whichever of these you choose, the ‘jack will be well maintained and supported by a Crucible Guard Mechanik, which is also include in this set.

The background is minimal, allowing the focus to remain on the Mechanik and the warjack.

They hold alchemical devices, some with orange spheres, while their bases are adorned with tufts of green grass. The figures are detailed with teal accents and various gears, emphasizing their role as combat alchemists in the Warmachine universe.

This ‘swift mobile infantry division’ attack in advance of the main force, there to ‘harass enemy positions, assault flanks […] and drop gravity bombs into packed formations’.

The miniatures are mounted on clear bases, with tufts of grass visible on the black circular bases, enhancing their action-oriented display.

Just in case this isn’t enough bang for your buck, the Crucible Guard can also lay down long-range bombardment thanks to the Dragon’s Breath rocket. This artillery piece bombards the enemy with concussive rockets which also release a cloud of toxic gas.
