Warmachine

[Mr. Analog]

I'm going to start a thread on a game that Thorin and I play from time to time with a friend of ours from work called Warmachine.

Warmachine is a tactical miniatures game that combines sword-and-sorcery with steampunk and creates a vibrant world of entertaining warfare.

From Wikipedia:

Warmachine is a tabletop wargame produced by Privateer Press. The game is played with white metal miniatures manufactured by Privateer Press representing military characters from the Iron Kingdoms D20 Role Playing Game setting. Battles are fought between Warcasters from rival kingdoms, the large steam-powered warjacks that the Warcasters control, and troops consisting of humans and fantasy races.

I like the game because it's fairly easy to play and the low cost of building an army is quite attractive.

Incidentally my favourite faction so far is Khador. (smashy-smashy)

what are we thinking when we play? 350pt army, just war casters and 'jacks, of 500pts with everything

Not sure, usually we play 500 pts if I recall.

k, cool, have the 4th to the 13th off, I'll be putting my army together then, not too sure what it will be made of after the warcaster and 'jacks yet though, might swing be that Game's Lair on friday to see what kind of armies work

From what I've gathered so far the armies are fairly balanced it's the warcaster feats that change the game...

buying the faction deck was great, cause I know what everything in my faction does, and what works well with each other

I should probably do the same for Khador...
