Note that this page is, for the most part, a placeholder, and will be added to over the coming months. Also note that, currently, it only contains units from Forces of Warmachine: Retribution of Scyrah.

Why Play Retribution?

Because they're bald, bearded eye patch wearing elf terrorist that's why.

The Retribution in many way the Jack of All Trades army, they can be lighting fast, tough as nails, melee rape train, a gun line you name it. But they're best if you gear them to one trait. As there background suggest they're all about anti-magic and mage hunting, meaning most of your strategy will be taking out the Warcaster/Warlock (note many of there stuff is gear to Warcaster and Warjack only)

For the most part they come in two flavors. The Retribution itself and Ios (the elf nation) armed forces. The retribution is your stealth assassins and what many think of an elf, fast and made of paper. While the Ios 'guard on the other hand are able to fight head on.

General Strategy

Unit Analysis

Warcasters

  • Garryth, Blade of Retribution: Coming soon.
  • Kaelyssa, Night's Whisper: Coming soon.
  • Adeptis Rahn: Coming soon.

Myrmidons (Warjacks)

Light Myrmidons

  • Chimera: Coming soon.
  • Gorgon: Coming soon.
  • Griffon: Coming soon.

Heavy Myrmidons

  • Hydra: The hyrda is very focus heavy, but its offset by the fact you gain focus for every hit it takes (while its shield still works) and never losses them every turn, useful for waiting for the right time to attack.
  • Manticore: Coming soon.
  • Phoenix: Cost as much as a character 'jack and for good reason. Arc Node, a good range weapon, the burns things, great sword, the burns things and shields recharge 1d6 every turn for free, and burns things.

Units

    • Dawnguard Invictor Officer & Standard: Coming soon.

    • Houseguard Halberdier Officer & Standard: Coming soon.

    • Mage Hunter Strike Force Commander: Coming soon.
  • Stormfall Archers: Coming soon.
  • Soulless Escort: Coming soon.

Solos

  • Arcanist: Our mechanic repairs our jacks, also gives a warjack a focus buff their melee rows and removes disruption however unlike most solos he doesn't have an damage line so keep him alive.
  • Dawnguard Scyir: Elf Knight on foot, his of his special rules only work when he's with a 'Jack, but he has Jack Marshal so give him a Gorgon.
  • House Shyeel Magister: Coming soon.
  • Mage Hunter Assassin: The only reason why you shouldn't have this sole is because you're using a theme and she's not allowed. Her chain weapon has a 4 melee attack range ignores shield, and magic buffs and any damage is double. She's a weapon master, has pathfinder and stealth.
  • Ghost Sniper: Simplar to the Khador Widowmakers only can deal with three auto damage rather than just one. Great for chipping away heavier targets. Has stealth and cover so stick him into some terrain and use him to soften up a target for a charge. In a pinch he also can move attack shooting, but only with a normal attack not the 3 auto damage one, with pathfinder he can get out just find.
  • Dawnguard Destor Thane: Elf Knight armed with a lance that shoots lasers, the laser is amazing at taking out low defense squads as he's able to shoot it up to four times able if he hits his shoots. Has Gunfighter and Virtuoso which is good since his lance can only attack on a charge.

Character Solos

  • Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios (pEiryss): The Elf bitch herself. They're a reason why most players have some form of anti-Eiryss tactic.
  • Eiryss, Angel of Retribution (eEiryss): Coming soon.
  • Fane Knight Skeryth Issyen: Coming soon.
  • Nayl: Souless anti-magic suicide bomber. Can't be targeted by spells (even your own) and when he dies everyone within 8" loses all focus/fury and can't cast spells for one round (again is effects you too) so send him straight at the Warcaster. Basically your DISTRACTION CARNIFEX.
  • Narn, Mage Hunter of Ios: Coming soon.
