This is the table-top miniatures wargame by Privateer Press, which is also based on their Iron Kingdoms steampunk setting.
I have a friend who's really into miniatures (mostly Warhammer) and he has been trying to rope me in. I did some research on Warhammer and Warmachine and had to make a choice...
I want with Warmachine.
Cost was certainly a consideration but certainly not the deciding factor for me. You can certainly build a reasonably sized army in Warmachine a lot faster than with Warhammer. Warhammer requires a major committment. One of the biggest factors for me was the setting itself. I love the Iron Kingdoms world and the fact that I could use my Warmachine minis in an RPG campaign was a big plus for me.
So I finally got to play a demo this past weekend. What a blast (even though I lost). I've heard more than a few people describe it as Magic as a mini game. The army combinations and tactics you can implement are awesome. Just switching a single model will drastically change your strategy.
So anyway, I'm hooked. I was just wondering if anyone else had played since I haven't seen much mention of it in here. I would say Privateer Press has a winner on their hands. I've even heard some say that WM has the potential to give GW a run for its money.
