Warmachine: A steel storm mobilizes from Alchiere — Kithguard Auxiliary Expansion

Out in the jungles of Alchiere, the Kithguard don’t simply wage war in the open, they wait silently in the mist, watch from the green, then strike with steel, smoke, and a roar of bellowing gunfire that rattles the canopy. Now Major Abraham Stormcraw leads that same brutal style of warfare onto the tabletop in the Kithguard Auxiliary Expansion.

Stormcraw mobilizes his forces into pre-order today, and if you’re tactically constructing your elite Kithguard platoon, breakout boxes of models featured in the Auxiliary Expansion are also available, so you can reinforce your Kithguard exactly how you want.

However you muster them, the Kithguard are coming to defend kith and kriel with grit, gunfire, and no shortage of salvaged weaponry.

Major Abraham Stormcraw

Another relic from the old days of trollkin war chiefs, Stormcraw leads from the very front. Fierce, proud, and forever eager to outdo his longtime rival Gunnbjorn, he brings the old ways crashing into the Kithguard’s modern war with all the subtlety of a ravenous bellowing dire troll.

The Kithguard were forged as a disciplined fighting force to defend kith and kriel, blending military structure with hard-earned battlefield experience. The Auxiliary Expansion leans right into that identity, giving you new ways to control space, apply pressure, and strike from unexpected angles.

Throat Cutters

Armed with massive machetes and heavy carbines, the Throat Cutters are the Kithguard’s elite jungle fighters and close combat specialists. They blend Trencher discipline, old kriel warrior instincts, and lessons learned from Alchiere’s native fighters into one nasty package.

They’re scouts, skirmishers, and executioners all at once. If the Kithguard wants a target found, flanked, and finished, these are the trollkin for the job.

Steelbacks

The Steelbacks are the smiths, armorers, and combat mechaniks who keep the Kithguard’s salvaged arsenal in fighting shape. They maintain advanced weapon systems, build Ramheads from battlefield scrap, and retrofit heavy weapons for the army’s warbeasts.

Clad in steam-powered exo-armor and hauling enough tools to rebuild half a battlefield, Steelbacks are as dangerous in a brawl as they are in a repair yard.

Sidewinder

The Sidewinder is an ingenious weapon system wholly of trollkin design. This heavy gun is mounted on a cleverly engineered carriage that lets a single gunner drag it into position, then let rip when anything in its path needs turning into a fine pink mist.

Built to shred airborne threats, it’s just as effective turning land targets into scrap

Hailer

The Hailer is a light support weapon crewed by a pair of pygs who somehow manage to make “lugging around an oversized gun” look like a calling in life. Effectively a heavier cousin to the old belt-fed Cygnaran chain gun, it trades elegance for a bigger bore and a louder opinion.

It’s cumbersome, clumsy, and exactly the sort of thing the Kithguard pygs love. Once the barrels start spinning, your cover, subtlety, and your enemies are officially off the table.

Lieutenant Frag Thornbane

Beloved by the Steelbacks and tolerated by anyone standing too close to him, Lieutenant Frag Thornbane is a charismatic brawler with a dangerous enthusiasm for mechanika. He was never much good at the delicate side of engineering, so command was the next best thing.

Thornbane now leads his Steelbacks with gusto, a sharp eye for useful salvage, and a healthy disregard for enemy property. If there’s a chance to capture some shiny new bit of hardware for the Kithguard, he’ll be first in line to “inspect” it.

Guard Post

The Kithguard were originally formed to defend the Southern Kriels against any threat that would encroach upon their territories. One of the organization’s first acts was to establish a network of guard posts and watch towers across Alchiere to alert their forces in case of an enemy incursion.

Virtually from the inception of the Kithguard, its infantry forces have been trained to coordinate their operations with these lightly fortified positions and to depend upon them for logistical and fire support. Each guard post is typically manned by a pair of trollkin, one keeping watch with a spyglass and the other crewing a machine gun.

Reinforce your Kithguard

Ready to add more guns, more grit, and more trolls to your army? The Kithguard Auxiliary Expansion is at attention awaiting your signal.

Want to rumble in the jungle? Start building your force with the Kithguard Command Starter, the Kithguard Battlegroup Box, or the Kithguard Core Expansion, then bring in Stormcraw’s elite reinforcements with Steelback ingenuity, heavy weaponry, and cut-throat tactics. For kith and kriel, there’s always room for a little more firepower.
