Are the extreme juggernauts and destroyers meant to be real scale to the infantry or is their size increase completely unrelated to the game and just a Display design change? Also, so they look cool on the board or just goofy next to normal size jacks? Thanks  |

At the time they were created, the models had significantly more detail and articulation than the actual warjack models in existence. Heavy warjacks are roughly 12-15 feet tall, so the standard models are (more or less) correctly scaled when compared to infantry. |

I have 3 Extremes: a Juggernaut, a Destroyer, and a custom-made Karchev based on an Extreme Juggernaut. It's the normal-sized jacks that look ridiculous compared to the Extremes actually. Especially the old metal jacks or the Berserker chassis. |

I think the extreme sculpts look fine on the tabletop alongside regular-scale warjacks. The size difference isn't that, er...extreme on the table.
Of course, I think the best use of the extreme juggernaut is to use the legs with regular-scale warjacks for overall better proportions.

Bear in mind that the extreme sculpts were released before the plastic jacks. Compare them to the old metal models for a real shock.

Thank you all for the welcome and the advice!! Have a few extreme jacks I was thinking of using with a man o war list I am building. Hoping it will look good Not really a good player at competitive level (I always get my caster killed lol) Got to decide if I am going to paint these bad boys a winter theme to go with sorcha or full khador red. I was thinking white under the full moonlight with snow and rock for base but that might be a bit ambitious lol. For play I’m hoping the sorcha 3 additional dice that go to warjacks flanking with MOW will help the juggernauts out a bit along with the some mow drakuns to act as fast and hard hitting singles and the Mow caster dudes to bring some magic. |

The Extreme sculpts are very nice, so I'm sure your army will look great! Red is easier to paint of course, but white can certainly look good if done well. I personally like for my models to stand out from their bases though, so white warjacks on a snowy base is probably not something I would do myself; maybe stick with a darker rocky base if you do decide on the white colour scheme. I was trying to find photos of GuitaRasmus' white Khador warjacks, which are probably my all-time favourites, but all the images seem to be lost (originally posted here and probably somewhere here).
EDIT: Turns out they are still in his blog gallery: bitteroldpainters.blogspot.com/p/warmachine-khador-project-2013-15.html He also used Extreme jacks, so as you can see they can come out real nice! |
