Professor Viktor Pendrake has become a legend in his own time. He has passed down the wisdom of years in the wild by heading up the Department of Extraordinary Zoology in Corvis but recent events have pulled him from the halls of academia. After surviving enslavement by the Skorne he returned to the west to rejoin old friends and aid his allies in their struggles for survival.

Professor Viktor Pendrake comes in a blister (PIP 75014). A player may field one Professor Viktor Pendrake in his army or horde. Professor Viktor Pendrake is a Cygnar model that may be included in mercenary contracts that include mercenaries that will work for Cygnar. Professor Viktor Pendrake will work for Circle Orboros and Trollbloods.

Professor Viktor Pendrake is featured in HORDES: Metamorphosis, the next expansion to HORDES. Professor Viktor Pendrake arrives this September.

Schick, wie ich finde. Leider arbeitet er nicht fürs Protectorate, er war vom Fluff her einer meiner Lieblingscharaktere. Heißt wohl ich muss meinen Circle weiter ausbauen 😀

Ol' Rowdy has five decades of service under its chassis. It hails from the first generation of Ironclads hammered together at the Cygnaran Armory from parts manufactured at Engines East. Not until after several years fighting with distinction during the Scharde Invasions did the ornery temper that would characterize Ol' Rowdy actually come to the fore.

Ol' Rowdy comes in a box (PIP 31053). A player may field one Ol' Rowdy in his Cygnar army.

Ol' Rowdy is featured in WARMACHINE: Legends, the next expansion to WARMACHINE, which releases this summer. Ol' Rowdy arrives this September.

OK, beim zweiten (und dritten) ansehen sieht er schon besser aus. Der Original Ironclad mal zum vergleich:

Ja, da sieht man, er schaut eigentlich schin ganz gut aus =)

All Berserkers have the roughened look of decades of service, but Drago stands out even among such company. While it has a cortex as old and unstable as any Berserker's, the passing of long years has removed many of the limited restraints that once held the machine back in battle. Mechaniks keep it chained up like a wild beast when not fighting, for Drago unleashes unmitigated violence at the slightest provocation.

Drago comes in a box (PIP 33056). A player may field one Drago in his Khador army.

Drago is featured in WARMACHINE: Legends, the next expansion to WARMACHINE, which releases this summer. Drago arrives this September.

Cankerworm attacks with a breed of cunning and sense of self-preservation that makes mockery of life. The 'jack's unprecedented ability to manipulate even the most sophisticated and complex mechanikal devices makes Cankerworm a versatile and vicious tool. It waits for the mightiest of warjacks to suffer crippling damage and springs to attack the vulnerable machine. After the final strike, Cankerworm harvests weapons and other useful machinery from the fallen construct and turns them against their former masters.

Cankerworm comes in a blister (PIP 34057). A player may field one Cankerworm in his Cryx army.

Cankerworm is featured in WARMACHINE: Legends, the next expansion to WARMACHINE, which releases this summer. Cankerworm arrives this September.

Der Epic-Madrak sieht einfach klasse aus, viel besser als der normale. :wub:
Wird der mit der Erweiterung im August erscheinen?

Edit: Gerade nochmal genauer gelesen, der Madrak soll ja im August erscheinen, aber wann kommt dann die Erweiterung?

Neues für Hordes (noch ohne Bilder)

Circle of Orboros: Tharn Ravager White Mane

Those few beast lords who have survived dozens of hunts and surpassed the odds by outliving their peers become White Manes. These seasoned killers are heroes among their savage tribes. Seeing a White Mane charge into battle inspires Ravagers to a frenzied state as they rush to follow his example. His scarred mien and grisly tokens are reminders of countless kills and many years of hard fighting.

Tharn Ravager White Mane come in a blister (PIP 72038). A player may field two Tharn Ravager White Manes for each warlock in his Circle Orboros horde.

Tharn Ravager White Mane is featured in HORDES: Metamorphosis, the next expansion to HORDES. Tharn Ravager White Mane arrives this September.

Trollbloods: Slag Troll Light Warbeast

Slag trolls are living proof that the adaptable troll species can and will eat anything. With a taste for metal, the Slag Troll has metabolized powerful acids which rapidly melt through iron and even tempered steel. Such dim-witted trolls are notoriously ornery, goaded by metal shards continuously growing through their flesh. Their habit of spitting corrosive acid has not endeared them to enemies of the Trollbloods.

Slag Troll comes in a blister (PIP 71037). A player may field an unlimited number of Slag Trolls in his Trollblood horde.

Slag Troll is featured in HORDES: Metamorphosis, the next expansion to HORDES. Slag Troll arrives this September.

Menoth: Fire of Salvation (Character Heavy Warjack):

Those who have stood before this aureate Crusader say its eyes carry a weight of presence more akin to a zealot than a soulless construct. Those who have fought alongside this peerless machine describe its dedication and loyalty as if speaking of another soldier of the faith. Its fervent wrath strikes terror in unbelievers and kindles rapture in followers of the True Law as Fire of Salvation incinerates entire ranks of heathens.

Fire of Salvation comes in a box (PIP 32052). A player may field one Fire of Salvation in his Protectorate of Menoth army.

Fire of Salvation is featured in WARMACHINE: Legends, the next expansion to WARMACHINE, which releases this summer. Fire of Salvation arrives this September.

Mercenaries: Anastasia di Bray (Solo):

The master spy Anastasia di Bray fights the Khadoran occupiers of Llael and their collaborators with a fury fueled by loss. Traitors and the invasion took everyone she loved, and now she aids the Resistance in a war that is as much personal as patriotic. The information she steals can spell the doom of armies, and any who would interfere with her missions die silent deaths on her blades.

Anastasia di Bray comes in a blister (PIP 41061). A player may field one Anastasia di Bray in his army. Anastasia di Bray will not work for Cryx or Khador.

Anastasia di Bray is featured in WARMACHINE: Legends, the next expansion to WARMACHINE, which releases this summer. Anastasia di Bray arrives this September.

Wenn's mal Forensoftware mit nem vernünftigen/übersichtlichen Editor gibt, überleg ich mir das vielleicht. Bis dahin vertraue ich darauf, daß die Leute vom letzten ihnen bekannten Beitrag einfach weiterlesen. 😎

Preiserhöhung und Kunststoff

Consumers of metal miniatures have noticed that the price of non-ferrous metals has experienced a sharp upward trend over the last few years. At Privateer Press, we diligently monitor the cost of the metal and price our new products appropriately based on current rates. Unfortunately, the cost of metal has skyrocketed over the past couple years. As well, rising gas prices have dramatically increased shipping costs, the repercussions of which can be seen everywhere with the general inflation that affects all of us.

As a result, we are in a position where we must increase the prices of older models in order to keep them profitable. We continue to do everything we can to combat raising prices, from purchasing more efficient equipment, buying metal in bulk, and training our staff in an effort to create a more efficient production process. You’ll be seeing some amazing and innovative ways that we’re engineering the models in the future to decrease metal usage. While these measures have mitigated the increased price of metal and have allowed us to stave off adjusting prices for a while, these efforts are unable to completely neutralize rising costs.

In order to continue the production of certain items, we must adjust their MSRP to reflect the material’s current price, which constitutes the largest portion of their manufacturing cost. The graph below comes from the London Metal Exchange, displaying the rise in tin prices since January of 2003 when we first started manufacturing. (http://www.lme.co.uk/) At the time of our last price adjustment on January 1, 2007, the price of tin was about $7.00 per pound. The current cost is approximately $11.00 per pound, an almost 50% increase in under 18 months.

We are as loathe to adjusting these prices just as you, the consumer, are to see it happen. We are currently exploring a variety of other manufacturing methods that we hope will lead towards a savings on the cost of manufacturing and the ability to stabilize prices. This includes alternative metals as well as plastic components for the model kits. In any event, commitment to quality remains our primary consideration so that no matter what material we use to manufacture, Privateer Press will continue to deliver the highest quality miniatures to you.
Effective July 1st, a significant number of the models found in the WARMACHINE and HORDES product ranges will receive an increase to their MSRP. The complete list, along with their new prices, is available here.

[The Taina]

Geh na, ned scho wieder ein Hersteller der au Plastik wechselt.<_<
Und die Preiserhöhung ist auch ein Witz, die haben doch eh vor kurze wieder die Preise erhöht. Ich meine PP ist schon jetzt sehr teuer im Vergleich zu anderen TT Firmen, aber wenn die jetzt NOCH teurer werden, werd ich mir denk ich keine neuen Minis mehr holen. Langsam hab ich den Eindruck, dass die Energiekrise auch gern als Vorwand genommen wird die Preise zu erhöhen. Das Beste find ich ist allerdings, dass sie die Preiserhöhung mit der Energiekrise und der damit verbundenen Inflation rechtfertigen (halt mal SEHR vereinfacht ausgerückt). Wenn die Leute sparen müssen, weil alles teurer wird, warum erhöhen sie dann erst recht die Preise? Grade beim Hobby/Luxus werden Leute zuerst sparen...:angry:

 

[Czeak]

Naja es wird nicht nur mit den steigenden Energiekosten argumentiert, sondern auch mit dem Metallpreis - und der lässt sich schlecht wegargumentieren - In der Originalmeldung ist ja sogar der Preisgraph eingeblendet.

Die starken Erhöhungen im Metallpreis sind übrigens etwas was viele in der Industrie trifft. Z.B. weiss ich das bei den Umrichteranlagen die die Firma baut bei der ich im moment Werkstudent bin, der Endpreis einer Anlage immer mit Vorbehaltung durch Anpassung an den Kupfermarkt gekoppelt ist. Das ist im Vertrag gleich so geregelt das die Kostenerhöhung für diverse Metall vom Endabnehmer getragen werden müssen. Hier vorallem weil zwischen der Auftragsabschliessung und den Bau der Anlage schonmal Jahre liegen können.

 

[Carnak]

Ich finde es sehr positiv, dass PP sich wenigstens zu Preiserhöhungen äußert und sie nicht wie GW einfach still und heimlich macht. Ich sag nur 10 Plastik-Korsaren für 20 Euro...

 

[DrCox]

...oder wie Rackham 30 Euro für sechs Überraschungseierfiguren verlangt!

Das PP allerdings auf Plastik umsteigen möchte, oder es zumindest erwähnt, ist arm, wenn man da mal an Seite 5 denkt!
