“He did it” “No, he did it”

Much like the Two Headed Ogre of Warcraft II, Sturm and Drang enter the annals of Hordes with two conflicting heads and a thirst for war. And what a thirst for war they have.



In my mind, I see this guy much like Kromac, the Ravenous. Two forms that change all through the game. The difference is that Sturm 'n Drang are two completely different characters. They just inhabit the same body. So each round, they alternate the dominant Mind. No changing between during activations, just alternating between rounds.

Now in Warmachine and Hordes, there's two extremes: Spellcaster and Warrior. Yes, there are sneaky and ranged fellas here and there, but if you're going to have two extremes in one then you've got your Spellcaster and your Warrior.

In just their two stat-blocks, they show that as well. While the Warrior, who I assume is Drang, has two heavy hitting fists that can toss someone away without a care in the world, Sturm has a Magical ranged attack called “Brain Burn” which in my mind is everyone within a short range suddenly getting a massive headache while he thinks on things.



The interesting thing though is that through a PPInsider post, a spoiler was provided for everyone to salivate over. Apparently there's two spell lists for each ego. So while Drang can't upkeep any spells, he may be able to cast upkeep spells for Sturm to upkeep. Otherwise, they'll just have massively different spell lists, such as one providing massive battlegroup benefits while the other gives unit and one time benefits.

It's all an interesting gear up and I'm quite excited to check out this guy once he's released.
