Zealous Flames Bring Menoth Back To Steamforged’s Warmachine

The Protectorate of Menoth are marching back across Immoren as they return to Steamforged Games' Warmachine with a cavalcade of new 35mm scale boxed sets and individual releases to help you take on the role of the Covenant of the Flame in your games.

Menoth - Defenders of the Flame // Warmachine

A good starting point for someone wanting to play as the Covenant of the Flame in Warmachine would be to go for the Defenders of the Flame, ideal for Command-level games and a solid base to build from. This force is led by Feora, a living engine of destruction, guided by fire and faith. She is the Marshal of the Flameguard and embodies Menoth's first Gift. Inside the set, you'll get...

• Feora, Marshal of the Flameguard (Warcaster)
• Crusader (Heavy Warjack with Venerable head, Blazing Star left arm, and Flame Belcher right arm)
• Valeria, The Whisper of Death (Character Solo)
• Pyrrhus, Flameguard Commander (Character Solo)
• Flameguard Defenders (Unit)

A solid starting point for you to explore in your games of Warmachine with a clutch of core infantry and that Heavy Warjack. If you'd like to step it up a level, then you also of the Bastions of Faith.

Menoth - Bastions of Faith // Warmachine

The Bastions of Faith is good for your Command-level games but also Skirmish encounters in Warmachine. The Warcaster that leads this particular force is Stallos, who inspires his fellow warriors in the heart (and the heat) of battle. He can bring forth a protective aura of holy flame that will turn aside the shots of your terrible foes! This set comes with a bit more in the form of...

• Stallos, Shield of the Righteous (Warcaster)
• Crusader (Heavy Warjack, including Shield Guard Head, Battle Shield & Flame Pike Arms)
• Revenger (Light Warjack, including Paladin Head, Repulsor Shield & Halberd Arms)
• Cleanser Preceptor (Solo)
• Cleanser Sanctifiers (Unit)
• Cleanser Skyhammers (Unit)
• Vassals of Menoth (Unit)

It also features different miniatures from the first of the sets, so if you're looking to expand in chunks, this might be another good box to pick up and fold into your collection. Show your faith in Menoth even more with the addition of a third set in the form of the Scourge of the Unbeliever.

Menoth - Scourge of the Unbeliever // Warmachine

Again, primed for Command and Skirmish-level play, this is an aggressive core of troops for any Protectorate of Menoth force. The leader of this particular set is Malekus who guides his worshippers and bathes his enemies in the Lawgiver's glorious holy flame. You've probably worked that out from all of those flamethrower-style weapons! This set comes with...

• Malekus, Word of Truth (Warcaster)
• Eye of Truth (Character Heavy Warjack)
• Revenger (Light Warjack, including Flame Trail Head, Grenade Launcher, & Flail Arms)
• Reclaimer (Solo)
• Flameguard Defenders (Unit)
• Flameguard Defender Standard Bearer (Command Attachment)
• Vassals of Menoth (Unit)
• Cleanser Purifiers (Unit)

I like that Steamforged Games have gone down the route of crafting sets that are based around a particular Warcaster and then picking units that can match their playstyle. The fact that you've also got a lot of very different options between sets leans back into that bolt-on nature of each, building up your collection as you go.

Last but not least, we have the Heralds of Perdition.

Menoth - Heralds of Perdition // Warmachine

This set unleashed the deadly Thyra. Whilst many of Menoth's leaders will burn armies in raging infernos, Thyra acts as a more subtle tool, rushing for her target and cutting the head from the snake. Thyra thrives in the flickering shadows cast by the flames of the Lawgiver! Inside this set, you'll get...

• Thyra, Flame of Wrath (Warcaster)
• Blood of Martyrs (Character Warjack)
• Daughters of the Veil (Character Unit)
• Heilesa, Blade of Torment (Character Solo)
• High Scrutator Kerr Malek (Character Solo)
• Cleanser Sunburst Crew (Structure)
• Cleanser Purifier Officer (Command Attachment)
• Cleanser Purifiers (Unit)

Another solid set of miniatures, including the addition of the Sunburst in there for a bit of heavy weaponry. I'm sure that would properly stake a Warjack to the ground so that your companions could clamber on top of it and tear it to pieces.

A host of the miniatures that you see here are also available separately from the Warmachine website so you can pick up a few individual characters and unit options to bulk out a set if you buy into Menoth and the Covenant of the Flame.

Could Menoth be for you now that they have returned properly to the world of Warmachine?
