Something I've never run is Kodiaks, since the edition change however they now seem really interesting. So question for those in the know, can I run and then vent steam or do I have to vent steam and then run. If so where does the AOE end up?

You can't run and... your activation ends. By how it is writen you can vent first and then run. Actually everybody tramples and then vents.

I dunno, I've taken to running turn 1 as you generally don't need to worry about being shot on the first turn. The extra 2" can be handy.

With the Reposition from Kharchev you can Trample, Vent Steam and the reposition the Kodiak behind the cloud out of sight. Very Nice Bot1 or Top2

Neat tricks you can do with Karchev and kodiaks, since vent steam is any time during activation, and a jack can trigger road to war for itself, you can vent steam to clear out chaff, charge something, kill it, use road to war to move 3" and kill something else. 10" of non-linear movement and a whole lot of attacks for very little focus outlay, I cleared out most of a unit of satyxis that way. Now note that vent steam won't trigger road to war as it isn't an attack.

Wait, there's 3d printable warmachine models? Linky please! Nope, I just have spare Juggernaut chassis and am alright with simple CAD programs. If I ever produce anything of note I may just start posting them, the arms that is, so that people can convert their official chassis models to a different model on the same or similar chassis. Sorry to get your hopes up.

Here's a related question: since Vent Steam says it can be done "at any point" during Activation, can it be done mid-point during a Run?

Nope, you can't interrupt something to do anything else. No venting in the middle of a run, or casting a spell in an attack. So on so forth.

Any idea where I can get Destroyer arms and a head, aside from the PP parts store? I just bought the new Battle Box, I don't need this second Juggernaut but I could use to turn it into a Destroyer for my new list.
