Warmachine Wednesday: Lich Lord Dekathus

Wednesday has arrived, which means it’s time for your weekly drop of new content and features in the WARMACHINE app!

New rules have been added to the app this week as we unveil Lich Lord Dekathus!

Entrusted with the formidable task of expanding the Necrofactorium network across the mainland, Lich Lord Dekathus commands a fearsome contingent of the Nightmare Empire’s most intimidating heavy thralls. Dekathus himself stands as a vile icon of necromantic prowess, wielding dark magic of unparalleled potency. His very presence is a harbinger of entropy.

Waking the Dead: Part 4

This week’s update for subscribers is the next installment of Waking the Dead. In Part Four—“Shadows of Conquest,” Wraithbinder Nekane comes face to face with Duke Sunbright, and when their forces clash, the end would appear to be nigh for her Cryxian forces…

Duke Sunbright, his blessed morning star casting a blinding white radiance, was fighting his way through the mechanithralls, his target obvious. Nekane considered letting him come through to challenge her directly—but not yet.

She urged her Deathripper, still lingering near the trees, into a run, aiming it at the Cygnaran knight. It loped into view and threw itself into the rangers surrounding Sunbright. The duke had no choice but to turn and face this new threat, but he was unfazed. Nekane felt the brutal caress of his morning star on the Deathripper as he caved in its hull and crushed one of its legs.

More mechanithralls fell around Nekane, and the Cygnarans encircled what was left of her meager forces. She’d killed dozens, but it mattered little; enough remained to overwhelm her. She’d coaxed Duke Sunbright into the open, engaged his forces in open battle, but the other part of her plan had not materialized. Eviscerus should have arrived by now, should have come thundering in behind the Cygnarans, a hammer to crush them against the anvil of she and Hades.

Was she betrayed? Had Eviscerus divined some advantage in letting her be destroyed? It mattered little now. She pushed these thoughts aside, and fought on, scything through the melee toward Duke Sunbright. She would tear his soul from his body and see it consumed before death claimed her.

Dying to Get Your Hands on More Necrofactorium?

The time is now to swell your undead ranks with additional models and units for the Cryx Necrofactorium. Our thralls are crafted with precision, love—and, well, everything leftover from the battlefield! Check out the options below to expand your army of undead.

Unleash the full force of your necromantic power with the Malefactor Heavy Warjack. Its modular weapons loadout offers fully customizable offensive and defensive options, while the integrated Aggressive ability lets it run or charge without spending focus.

Designed for ruthless efficiency, the Malefactor adapts to any combat scenario, delivering devastating power and relentless aggression on the field.

The Raptor is a formidable light bonejack ideal for all Necrofactorium armies. Extremely versatile with modular head and back options, you can tailor the Raptor to serve a range of uses in the ranks of your undead force, such as swift, precise strikes, or acting as an arc node to channel spells through. The Raptor’s agility and customizable enhancements work in tandem to help the Nightmare Empire dominate the battlefield.

The Mechanithrall Swarm is a relentless force of Cryxian automatons, ideal for overwhelming enemies through sheer numbers. Equipped with Gang to boost their attacks in numbers, and Vengeance to strike back when targeted, these thralls excel at closing the distance and overrunning the enemy.

They may not have been victorious while they were alive, but through the twisted engineering of the Necrofactorium they’ve found new purpose in undeath. The perfect unit for all Cryx Necrofactorium armies. Now available in two five-model unit options, Mechanithrall Swarm A and Mechanithrall Swarm B.

Control your opponents with the Machine Wraith Dominator. This Necrofactorium solo wields the potent Dark Dominion ability, allowing you to seize control of enemy warjacks and turn their might against their own armies.

With its spectral prowess and tactical flexibility, the Machine Wraith Dominator is a perfect choice when filling out any Necrofactorium army list.

The Skarlock Lieutenant is a key leader for Mechanithrall Swarms, bringing dark sorcery and tactical acumen to the battlefield. This enigmatic warlock amplifies the power of your mechanized undead troops, enhancing both their resilience and effectiveness.

With his necromantic abilities and commanding presence, the Skarlock Lieutenant turns your swarms of Mechanithralls into a relentless tide of undead, ensuring your Cryx army dominates its foes with chilling precision.

Harness the dark art of necromancy with the Necrosurgeon Initiates. These eerie specialists bring dual benefits to your Necrofactorium forces: they can empower your warjacks with their arcane skills, enhancing their combat capabilities, or perform Grim Returns and stitch together fallen trooper models, bringing them back into the fray.

Their unique abilities ensure your army remains formidable and resilient, making the Necrosurgeon Initiates a crucial addition to any Necrofactorium force.
