THIS IS HOW WAR BEGINS. Forged in the fires of conflict, the Iron Kingdoms is a fantastic realm where the combined power of magic and technology thunders across a landscape shaped by war. In Warmachine, the very earth shakes during fierce confrontations as six-ton constructs of iron and steel slam into each other with cataclysmic force, lead-spewing cannons chew through armor plating as easily as flesh, and bold heroes set the battlefield ablaze with a tempest of arcane might to forge the fates of their unyielding nations. Warmachine is a fast-paced and aggressive 32mm tabletop skirmish miniatures game for two or more players set in the steam-powered fantasy world of the Iron Kingdoms. Players take on the role of elite soldier-sorcerers known as warcasters. Though warcasters are formidable, their true strength lies in the their magical ability to control warjacks - massive automatons that are the pinnacle of military might. Players collect, assemble, and paint fantastically detailed models representing the various warriors, machines, and creatures in their armies.
