Deathjack

[Deathjack is one of the BBEGs of the Iron Kingdoms setting, and made a huge impression on me when I first read the Monsternomicon many years ago. This version draws from both the 3.0 and 5e renditions, as well as adding a few new thematic abilities, and is between them in CR.]
Deathjack
CR 20 CE Construct
This mechanical giant is larger than a wagon and stands stooped under the weight of its immense shoulders, which are fitted with two black chimneys near the neck and two distorted humanoid skulls as pauldrons. Its claws are enormous, as are its horns, and in its belly is a grate containing behind it a furnace with eerie green flames.
Deathjack is a single-minded engine of destruction, powered by a strange artifact and by burning souls for fuel. Deathjack is a bogey, a thing of ill omen blamed for mysterious disappearances in lands where its legend is known. Deathjack will sometimes work alongside the armies of undead tyrants or death cults, but demands a high price in souls for its service. Any creature that attempts to magically control Deathjack becomes the next body thrown into its internal furnace.
Deathjack opens combat with a charge, lowering its horns and goring like a bull. Its main weapons are its claws, which it uses to grab creatures and throw them into the soul furnace in its belly. Creatures in the soul furnace have their life stripped from them even as they burn alive, and this soul energy can be used by Deathjack to heal itself or render its natural weapons even more lethal. Deathjack radiates an aura of hatred that shatters teamwork, can smite goodly creatures, and use number of spell-like abilities centered on death and destruction. When Deathjack has won a combat, it uses its spell-like abilities to animate its victims as undead and sends them in random directions to cause terror and death.
Deathjack wears the Skulls of Hate on its shoulders, a set of magical pauldrons that push the living to violent evil and turn any construct equipped with them into the new Deathjack. Who created the Skulls of Hate is mysterious, with a cult of a death god, the nightshades, a renegade necromancer or singularly powerful lich all floated as hypotheses. If Deathjack knows its own origins or ultimate master, it does not say. In fact, Deathjack rarely says anything to the living except to pronounce their doom, spoken through the Skulls of Hate.
Skulls of Hate (major artifact) The Skulls of Hate are an intelligent magic item consisting of a pair of black pauldrons in the shape of distorted human skulls, eyes glowing with green flames. A creature wearing the Skulls of Hate (in the shoulders slot), gains its Charisma bonus as a profane bonus to saving throws, and can smite good as an antipaladin of its Hit Dice (max 20th level) once per day. The Skulls of Hate are chaotic evil, can speak Abyssal and Common, have darkvision 60 ft. and lifesense, and have Int 14, Wis 21, Cha 23. The special purpose of the Skulls of Hate is to slay all living creatures. The Skulls of Hate have an Ego score of 30; any creature that fails its saving throw against the Skulls of Hate’s Ego score is forced to seek out a construct and equip it with the Skulls of Hate, whereupon it transforms immediately into the new Deathjack.
The Skulls of Hate can only be destroyed by a good aligned deity of love or peace.
So, for those that pay attention to my warmachine posts, I won my fifth game on a year and a half.... And not only did I win,I won against our best player, Caster kill.
I'd say "we're back" but we're not really. I'm still working through things and trying to get back into a good state of mind, but in the meantime I finished this Cephalyx! It's the warcaster from the Dark Operations Hive Mind Cadre, I love the faction. I can definitely see where I can improve but I absolutely love these models. I was a pressganger back for about 3 years before the program shut down and I loved the game for so long, Privateer Press was a great company to see grow and Warmahordes was such a great intro for wargames for people and it was so affordable. I think under Steamforged Games the product looks even better, the lines crisper, details are better, but I have no idea why they kept the slotted base.
Warmachine has something beautiful about it: steel, monsters, heroes, and that subtle suggestion that someone is about to have a very bad day.
