The most brutal of the Cygnar heavy warjacks, it is also the most simple. Void of the usual advanced weaponry that exemplifies Cygnar weapon platforms, it instead fills a role previously held by the retired Nomad warjack. Equiped with dual Hammer's, the Hammersmith is the Cygnar equivilent of the typical Khador warjack. Heavily armored, slow and powerful, the Hammersmith is deployed to destroy the heavy armor in the enemies lines. In addition, the Hammers are equiped with powerful pistons that beat back any hit by them, and if they both hit, then even the sturdiest of enemies will find itself launched backward. The Hammersmith's powerful legs propel it forward after its enemy so it can continue to rain down more attacks.
I really enjoyed painting this figure, being a change of pace from the traditional Cygnar warjacks. I had a heck of a time keeping the legs attached to its torso, the small contact points did not support the upper torso very well. After three mishaps and failed use of GS to hold it in place I fell back to the tried and true pinning technique to keep the legs in place, and still has too much movement for my liking. In the future if I get another I will have to do extensive pinning and conversion to eliminate the problem. I tried to match the paint job to the artwork, but took some liberties with the white to show his intended use with Darius. Overall, very happy with the finished product.
