Steamforged Games Unchain the Deathjack

A towering 80mm warjack named Deathjack, characterized by its dark, menacing design, stands prominently in the image. Its body is adorned with spikes and skulls, featuring glowing green accents that enhance its intimidating presence. The background is dark and atmospheric, suggesting a foreboding environment fitting for this soul-hungry terror.

Body

Do you and your chums play Warmachine? Does one of those chums play Cryx? Do you sleep well as night…?

…Not for long.

Steamforged Games have given us nightmares a preview of their next Warmachine release: the Cryx abomination known as Deathjack.

This forthcoming super heavy warjack is a big ol’ boy, standing as he does at a whopping 80mm in height. Described as a ‘soul-hungry terror […] Driven by the Skulls of Hate grafted into its frame’, Deathjack is a ‘super heavy model’ festooned in spikes and skulls. Its habit of snacking on the souls of its victims allows it to collect tokens from its victims; it can then use those souls to heal damage, cast spells for free or generate extra focus. Oh, and its also a full-on spellcaster, making it even more terrifying.

Deathjack also enjoys some excellent synergies with the Cryx Necrofactorium Battlegroup, which features the equally terrifying warcaster Nekane and the tusked heavy warjack, Hades.

See the Steamforged Games website for more details,

A towering 80mm warjack named Deathjack stands menacingly, adorned with spikes and skulls, embodying a dark and twisted aesthetic. Its body features a mix of black and metallic gold elements, with a glowing green core that hints at its soul-hungry nature. Surrounding the figure are ghostly green wisps and floating skulls, enhancing the eerie atmosphere of this formidable Cryx model.
