Warmachine is a fast-paced 30mm skirmish game that can be played with as few as two models per side, though it's best with at least four.  Besides models and game rules, all that is needed are record sheets, six-sided dice and rulers.  A Warmachine game can be played in as little as 30 minutes on a table as small as 30" across, or atop epic landscapes as large as you're willing to craft.

The central strategy of Warmachine is in the allocation of the warcaster's resources to the battlegroup.  Should the warcaster concentrate on destroying a fleeing enemy by allocating "focus points" for a nearby warjack to charge?  Or are the resources better spent on a shield spell for an allied warjack in a tight spot?  Each turn, you will make tough tactical decisions, all the while making sure that the warcaster is close enough to the action to remain effective.  Retreat is not an option, for the cunning warcaster will emerge victorious.

FACTIONS

Menacing clouds ever obscure the dark island kingdom of the Cryx.  The Cryx sail from their islands spilling hundreds of pirates, warriors, and evil necromantic constructs onto the shores.  They stalk the mainland for resources, slaves, and the most heinous of raw materials...the dead.  In the Cryxian Empire, death itself is the lubricant for the cogs of its hideous war machine.    

The crown jewel of the Iron Kingdoms, Cygnar is the birthplace of warjack technology.  Disciplined, inventive, steadfast, unfaltering - these are the core traits of the Cygnarian people. And as a result, Cygnar, in the center of all the Iron Kingdoms, has the greatest resources and most advanced technology. But with prosperity comes a great price...for it will be here that the greatest battles will be fought....
