What is Warmachine?
Warmachine is Privateer Press's steampunk-fantasy miniature wargame launched in 2003, set in their Iron Kingdoms setting. Each side is led by a Warcaster who channels arcane energy to control a small army of massive steam-powered mecha ('warjacks') and supporting troops. Sister game Hordes handles the wild beasts and monsters. Known for tight, aggressive tournament play that rewards attacking rather than turtling.
