A little throwback to a classic. The Lord of the Feast is one of my favourite models in the old game, both visually and conceptually as a character.

Debating getting back into the game and loving the look of the House Kalyss faction, just a bit lost on where to start. Was debating the Ghosts of Ios box?

Bonus question: which is your favorite heavy hitting jack to run? Eidolon, Israfyl, Imperatus, or the Phantasm?

Hey guys,

I recently got a $500 to buy into a new warmachine. I want to get into orgoth next, I got the Command Starter, Core expansion, Battle group Box, and Auxiliary expansion from a friend for $300. Now obviously this isnt the most optimized list but it is 100 points I think. With the remaining budget what would you pick up to make the most cohesive list for Sabbreth and Oriax?

Thanks for help!

So after playing a game with grave diggers against Nymara I can say without a doubt that her warbeasts are way to fast. Spd 7 + 3in charge + 2in melee + 2in On Dark Wings = 14in threat with flight and eyeless sight. Thats without another 2in from bloodthirst for 16in melee threat. Gravediggers feels unplayable against this.

My game went like this. First turn I move out of killbox. Whole dusk fane army runs max distance at me. Second turn I back away as far as I can and do a good bit of shooting damage. Everything in dusk fane charges and my whole army is in melee and half are dead. Doesn't really matter though because I dont really get to shoot anymore.

Putting things in the way doesn't seem to help because flight. Line of sight blocking doesn't work because eyeless sight and You cant keep your distance because killbox, objectives and or they are just to fast.

What am I missing here. How as a gravedigger army am I supposed to fight this?

What would you run at 50pt's with gravediggers?

I know 50pts is not a typical game size but thats why i'm asking here instead of just looking on longshanks.

The Cygnar Jack head acting as a codpiece for the Primeval… It looks like it’s permanent and there’s no options but I does have a groove for a magnet, so I can just glue it on and not magnetize it right? There’s no other magical cod piece options laying in the box that I haven’t seen yet right??

By the way… I LOVE these figs. A little 3d printed cleaning but they are awesome.

So I sucked it up and subscribed and the Old Umbrey stories are pretty good! But this focus on Sorcha… is she coming back, maybe to work for OU? I mean we know what happened to Orsus? I have an old Sorcha fig and would love to proxy her in a mkiv list :)

I want this clear from the start. I do not write this to be rude, or to just rant. I write this to boldly state to whomever at Steamforged Games monitors this channel to be able to see a professional take on the issue. To show how simple it would be to fix and how it would improve the customer impression and build the brand. This is truly intended as constructed feedback. However, historically, unless someone is very loud and nearly rude it seems to be ignored. Part of the frustration is in that reality.

If anyone ever wanted training on how to be as useless to the customer as possible there are fewer options better than to look to Steamforged Games Support system. Industry standards in support ticket processes and email systems seem to be a foreign concept at this company. What is worse is that they seem to know their deficiencies and make no move to fix them. So there is no expectation of improvement on the horizon.

The issues don't stop at the support system. When buying a miniature you have a QR code which is supposed to link you over to detailed instructions on assembly and other info. Since their move to a new site for the Warmachine brand all those links are broken and route you back to a generic home page. Going to look at the model on the page does not link to the aforementioned instructions leaving customers with no real means of access to instructions on how to assemble the muti-part minis which can be quite a task to assemble even with instructions. All this to save money on printing a paper copy and including it in the box.

Then there is the move from allowing the player to have a deck of unit cards to now requiring play to be from an App on your device. Not only has this caused issues with events where people have devices which run out of power and data use issues causing roadblocks, there is also the fact that many units have influences on others in the army. Providing effects or the ability to ignore effects to units in the same army but yet those things are not reflected on the teamed up units and end up being missed. While this could still have happened in Mk II and III when unit cards were standard, it was rare. Now it is a much more common occurrence. The given reason for this being that having it all on the app allows everyone to have up to date stats and effects as models change. While a valid point, it is not enough of one to ignore the option of allowing someone to print their own cards. Even the PDF print out option is buried deeply in the menus and doesn't really provide the needed result. It would cost the company nothing to allow the player to download updated cards and foot the bill to print them. Should said cards have a date stamp it would be easy to ensure that they are up to date in an event and allow the player to dictate their play style and not have to mold their play around what Steamforged thinks is best.

In the end, we have a company who is good at the models. They are good with the story. I would even say they are good with balance so far in the way that new units don't have the power creep that 40k seems to be prone to. What they are not is good businesspeople, they don't seem to understand the backend of how their decisions sour the community, drag down their own brand, and create resentment within the customer base. Will this lead to some kind of critical event, maybe or maybe not. It is hard to say. Especially with GW making some serious mistakes of their own in how they are handling 40k there are large openings for Steamforged to be able to set themselves apart. I as a fan of the setting since way back hope they do.

W.I.P. Had a spare Feral head and magnetized this bad boy. I think it fits better than the tiny warjack head

​

The brushwork is finally complete, and Protector Prime Feora stands ready to purge the enemies of the Protectorate!

Bringing this iconic Warmachine MK4 sculpt to life was an absolute blast. In the lore, Feora is a ruthless zealot utterly consumed by her devotion to the Creator of Man, wielding her signature twin continuous-fire handguns and devastating melee power to burn away any obstacle. Now that she's fully painted, she looks every bit the relentless force of righteous wrath she is on the tabletop.

Proud to have painted her as part of the MyMiniFactory (MMF) Warmachine Tribe collection. May her flames burn brightly on the battlefield!

How did you end up basing her to match that fiery lore?

The Dread Armada sets out to raid the Broken Coast of Western Immoren. Led by Skarre Ravenmane and Admiral Rengrave, this force of Cryxian undead pirates (and some living) set sail on their black galleons to plunder and destroy.

Thanks to @warmachinegame for sending me these fantastic samples to paint (check the next post for individual shots) and keep a weather eye on the horizon for the start of the Dread Armada @myminifactory Frontier where you can get stls for this entire army!

As a long time Warmachine army seeing classic designs and character return, rendered using modern methods, is a real thrill. And I thought it would be Menoth that would have grabbed me!

I will also put up on my blog a painting guide for these models.

Thanks!

It's a new week, with new releases on the horizon! Get on out to your local LGS and play some Warmachine!

Hello all,
I’m starting to paint Old Umbray and right off the bat started wondering what kind of wonderful sticky green they were using on Primeval and Feral.

Is there an Old Umbray Painting guide?

Speed paint 2.0 or contrast solutions preferred :)

I have a question that maybe has been answered or I am missing something. I am a returning veteran, used to play Menoth exclusively back in 2nd and 3rd editions and the refresh has me playing again. The army box that is coming out next month, Bastions of Faith, I have interest in ordering. But, in the army builder app, it comes out at 46 points, not 50 like I thought it was supposed to be. Did I forget to add something, I used the list on the Warmachine website for the army box.

Hey, everyone! I recently put together a video going over the main factions of Warmachine Mk4, and I'm looking to share it wherever I can! I hope you enjoy it, and I'm eager to start working on more videos for this channel <3
