WAR MACHINE is set in the IRON KINGDOMS, an environment that combines the best of traditional fantasy with steam power and gunpowder. Across the realm, ancient rivalries among nations are about to explode into all-out conflict, setting the stage for WAR MACHINE and other IRON KINGDOMS products.
In WAR MACHINE, players take on the role of an elite soldier-sorcerer known as a “warcaster.” While a warcaster is a formidable force on the battlefield, their true strength is in their ability to magically control and coordinate the actions of their mighty warjacks—steam-powered combat automatons that represent the pinnacle of military might in the IRON KINGDOMS.
Each warjack is a fifteen foot tall ironclad behemoth, a coal-fired engine of destruction with a primitive magical brain. On its own a warjack is capable of only the most rudimentary actions, but when bonded to a warcaster its efficiency and deadliness increase dramatically.
WAR MACHINE focuses on battles between warcasters and the titanic forces that they control. A match is fought with a warjack's thundering cannons, ripping iron claws and crushing hammer blows, as well as devastating spells wrought by the warcaster himself. When the dust settles, one side is victorious and the other is nothing but smoking scrap metal!
I liked the Menoth miniatures right from the start. Fits good to my Sisters of Battle, Witch Hunters etc. I plan to combine Warmachine miniatures with some minis from Confrontation. IMO they are quite fitting from size and style.
