The term is, or it should be, "Grimdark".

Nah, I mean it's very 40K... Like this looks like it should have the Khorne symbol and some chaos marines with chain swords screaming "Blood for the Blood God!".

I wonder when wizkids will show a better picture of this, be curious what it looks like from different angles.

Hope they clean up the rules before publishing.
Any size requirement/limitations for Stations? Can a Pixie operate one as well as a Human as well as a Giant?

*snort* tiny Pixies driving huge Mad Max-type war machines.

I'm giving XP for this, as it is exactly the kind of "Stupid Awesome" idea that I love about Dungeons and Dragons.

I was already planning on including these constructs in my upcoming Eberron game as part of the Lord of Blades' forces, but now I'm DEFINITELY going to include a group of tank-piloting pixies mutated by the Day of Mourning into his organization.

Stupid Awesome is right! My brother and, when we heard about these things, both started grinning like goons (we had both had a few drinks at that point, since we had made the stream event into a small party). Infernal War Machines are the kind of things players are going to love, and are going to open all sorts of new adventure ideas for DMs.

If you're interested in something like this, but including more than just soul-powered vehicles, check out ERF Jordan's Twisted Mithral. I reviewed it here on ENWorld: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?659167-Twisted-Mithral

Not sure I want it in my regular D&D game, but it does look like it would be a lot of fun to paint.

The picture above isn’t great but I get the feeling wizkids is going for a scorched metal look. I’ll wait for Pogre to surprise us with a painted one in his mini thread later on in the year

I guess Hasbro's hand is behind this, and I don't blame it.

I don't. I think Chris Perkin's watched Fury Road and said I want to make a D&D campaign about that! He has also been using a lot of classic literature as a muse for his adventures. Alice in Wonderland for Out of the Abyss for example.

"Fury Road meets Dante's Inferno" seems like a great premise to explore and it hasn't been done before.

I feel Baldur's Gate is tacked on to be honest

If I paint one it will be for a commission.

I need a vehicle in my game more akin to the old Snotling Pump Wagons! Rowdy, drugged-up goblins are closer to my game's aesthetic.

Still, it looks pretty cool in the pictures. Then again, I thought the big ship they made looked awesome in the pictures, but was disappointed when I saw it in person.
