Huh.
I am personally not seeing how this fits in with the existing themes, conceptually speaking.
It appears to my eyes to be far more ‘WarMachine’ than Hell Dorado:
The design is quite heavy and ‘over the top’, with very exagerated armour plates,
far more typical IMO of Privateer Press’ Khador faction
as opposed to the far more realistic sculpts Hell Dorado has been known for in the past.
This is a new unit for Westerners, is that correct…?
Compare the striking realism of a current Hell Dorado Westerner in Armour

http://www.manes-marzano.com.ar/fig_54mm.htmI don’t deny that the figure is striking, but it seems to me the market is already
quite well saturated with hyper-exaggerated ‘Gothic’ armoured monstrosities.
I may pick up the figure for the use in Warhammer or Warmachine,
but I suspect I will be proxying in a more realistic Dopplesoldner for Hell Dorado.
I wonder if this is indicative of the direction Cypher intends to take the game?
Personally: I hope not.
