Spoils of War: Cygnaran Nomad
The Painting Challenge presented in No Quarter 35 was called Spoils of War. The objective was to take a current Mercenary ‘jack and paint it to match a new faction. This really grabbed my interest so I took a look at the Mercenary wajacks to see which I thought would work best. The Nomad type of warjack, which I chose, were once Cygnaran ‘jacks. These were eventually decommissioned due to the aging design, replaced with the Ironclad. I’ve always been very attached to the Iron Kingdoms fluff, so for we it only made sense that Cygnar would re-instate the aged Nomads. Here was my submission to No Quarter:

Pressed on all fronts the Cygnaran logistics department can no longer supply newly built ‘jacks fast enough. Looking for accessible alternatives they recommission the old Nomad warjacks that had served Cygnar’s warcasters in the past. The Nomads are recalled from use in heavy labor, purchased from mercenary forces and reclaimed from battlefields. Before being sent to the front the aging ‘jacks are given a fresh Cygnaran paint scheme and a newly designed buckler emblazoned with Cygnus the Swan. With a heavy blade designed to carve through metal the Nomad will prove especially valuable on the northern front against Khador’s massive ‘jacks.
