Army Spotlight: Marten's 90 point Karists
Posted on Tuesday Feb 14, 2023 at 05:00pm in The Karist Enclave
The armoured troops of the Karist Enclave exist to provide a gloved fist for those situations where skilled oratory and social destabilization prove insufficient. This week, we're taking a look at a small Karist force put together for V1 by Marten, one of the members of our Maelstrom's Edge development team.
About his force, Marten says: "This is my 90pt Karist force. It's fairly small, which I find convenient for trying out new rules at first. I'm a fan of 'regular guys' in my forces. Hence there is no mature Angel, but two full sized squads of troopers, four Tempest Elites carrying the force's big guns and two Praetorians because they're cool. A Shadow Walker and a full complement of Minnows make up the fast element of the force, led by a Kaddar Nova.
The colour scheme was inspired by the painted examples on the Maelstrom's Edge kickstarter of 2015, combined with then new-to-me Warcolours paints which had a nice 5 tone 'blue grey' set.
The Kaddar Nova overlooks his force, accompanied by his Praetorian escort.
Karist Troopers, including a Heavy Trooper equipped with a devastating Cybel Lance.
The second unit of Troopers, with a Ripper Heavy Grenade Launcher, and the deadly, teleporting Shadow Walker.
Tempest Elites are implacable fire support for Karist forces.
Though comparatively small, Minnows are no less ferocious than older Angels.
To get started on your own army of over-zealous doom, pick up the Karist models, or any of the rest of the range from the webstore here.

Remember to also grab a copy of the Maelstrom's Edge V2 Beta rules so you can get into the action!

Army Spotlight: Marten's 90 point Epirians
Posted on Wednesday Dec 14, 2022 at 05:00pm in Models
Epirian forces cut a distinctive figure on the table, with their militia forces backed up by a range of specialised robot troops. This week, we're sharing a look at a small Epirian force put together a while back by Marten, one of the members of our Maelstrom's Edge development team.
Built to fit on the table in 90 points for the V1 rules, Marten's force leans heavily into the various bot options. Contractors are all well and good, but accompanying them with chaingun-equipped support bots is even better!
Contractors wisely ensconced in cover.
Fireflies are comparatively fragile compared to most other Epirian bots, but are superb when you need to get some firepower across the battlefield in a hurry.
A Journeyman Bot Handler directs his Firefly cohort onto the battlefield.
Spider Drones are handy for decimating enemy troops, coming equipped with twin machine guns or flakk guns, and also excel at digging into cover to avoid enemy fire.
A unit of Spider Drones with their Apprentice Handler move up the centre under the watchful targeting lens of a Scarecrow bot.
A Scarecrow Sniper is a much more fearsome presence than its gangly frame might imply, capable of pummeling the toughest enemies at range with its shoulder mounted Maglock Railgun, or repelling closer foes with clingfire or chemical spray.
A second Scarecrow Sniper stands overwatch at the rear of the deployment.
To get started on your own army of robotic doom you can pick up these models, or any of the rest of the Epirian range from the webstore here.
