A Picture of Kovnik Markov

For some reason, this photograph has not been released by Privateer Press. I found it on an English eBay listing and I thought I'd post it so that its goodness might be appreciated by my friends. My blog has thereby acquired a limited social utility. If you see what I mean.

And the baddassery never stops . . . .

You said it. I am all agog. Amongst other things, what I like about this guy is that even if he is taken out, the Uhlans remain fearless for the duration. And he has a, erm, commanding prescence, don't you think?

I'm convinced, at least as a Khador player, that the Legends supplement was all good.

Oh, hells yeah . . .

Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything in legends, for any of the factions, that wasn't at least good. I also like the way they're rehabilitating units via UAs etc. - I can see this expanding down the road, with different UAs giving different capabilities.

They've also done a good job of reintroducing choice. For eg., both Cankerworm and Nightmare move DJ out of "automatic default" for 'jack selection in Cryx. DJ is still fantastic, and still has a role, but there are other options for beatstick now that actually can bump it in the right circumstances.

It's a truly fantastic model. The 2nd best mounted one IMO (after Kraye). Keir will own it and have it painted within 10 days of its release I'm sure ;)

And yes, Legends wwas filled with lots of killy goodness. I shall be finishing a few items for Cygnar after the Old West and Romans are under control.

I have CW and the combine coming by post. I swear I've started to salivate every time I hear the postal van's engines.

That's the strange thing, Markov is released and is winging his way to me from Florida these three days. I can't understand why the photo isn't on the PP website.
