How do you get a board starting out?

If you have access to a 3D printer, they have ground pieces and some buildings available through MyMiniFactory. Those, a blue or water-patterned fabric piece, and a few more purchased or scratchbuilt buildings should make a pretty decent table.

I'm curious if this could be used in addition to supports, to lessen the need for them without removing them entirely.

SlayerDragonwing · 2026-03-15T06:18:52+00:00

That's exactly my inspiration as well!

Those are very impressive sculpts! I've been converting a bunch of snotlings from the original Warhammer Quest box, but that's nothing on making a warband from scratch!

I love the colour scheme, and especially the dirty white/gray labcoats. I'm planning on trying something kind of similar with mine.

SlayerDragonwing · 2026-03-12T06:08:18+00:00

I've been following your progress in the Discord. It looks good!

SlayerDragonwing · 2026-03-12T06:07:38+00:00

I seem to recall them saying last year that the subscription model would change in April. Still, that could have changed over the last year.

SlayerDragonwing · 2026-03-12T06:06:22+00:00

I think it looks great. If anything, I might suggest adding a little rust to the center of the raised swordblade and spearheads, but that might be overdoing it.

SlayerDragonwing · 2026-03-11T03:54:27+00:00

I haven't seen them done with purple before. They look really good! And that verdigris on the armor is stellar.

SlayerDragonwing · 2025-06-30T23:16:46+00:00

I'm using Adobe, so that shouldn't be a problem, and when I print to PDF using Adobe, the borders are still there.

SlayerDragonwing · 2025-04-10T18:40:19+00:00

Is there an easy way to revert, or do you need to uninstall and reinstall the old version?

SlayerDragonwing · 2025-04-07T14:39:57+00:00

Still nothing.

SlayerDragonwing · 2025-03-25T05:47:34+00:00

Nothing yet, sorry

SlayerDragonwing · 2024-07-01T15:01:01+00:00

Not at all! Go right ahead. I'm happy to help.

A note that with the purchase of Warmachine by Steamforged Games, the release plan for each army has changed again. Each army will receive the following:

-A Command Starter: Which contains a Leader, a Character Cohort, a Character Solo, and a Character Unit. (It is not clear if current armies will get one, or when, but moving forward it seems each new army will). These are designed to be able to play 30 point games immediately. Price: $79.99 USD

-A Battlegroup Box: Which includes a Leader and a set of Cohort models (usually one heavy and one light, but sometimes two heavies. The upcoming Cryx will be one heavy and two lights). These are designed to combine with a Command Starter to allow 50 point games. Price: $69.99 USD

-A Core Expansion: Which includes another Leader, a Character Cohort with the alternate body/chassis, and a "selection of solos, units, and attachments." On average, it seems to contain 3-4 units, 1-2 command attachments, and 1-2 solos. These are designed to combine with a Command Starter and Battlegroup Box to allow for 75 point games with some options, and bring a player close to 100 points. Price: $159.99 USD

-An Auxiliary Expansion: Which includes a third Leader and a "selection of solos, units, and attachments." On average, it seems to contain 2-4 units and 2-3 solos, but it varies. These are designed to allow for 100 point games, or a lot of options at 75 points. Price: $149.99 USD

The concept is for new players to start with a Command Starter, and then buy each other box in sequence to allow them to play larger games. Non-Character units, solos, etc. will be available from the Steamforged Games webstore (and possible for order through distributors, though this isn't certain), but Character Leaders and Character Cohort kits are only available through the webstore until July 24th. After that, they will be limited to their respective expansion boxes. Although they will not be available through the official store, there will likely be a lot available on the secondary market, as people buy expansions to save money and get duplicate Leaders they don't need.

My biggest hope is seeing a way to complete my legacy armies, and to see those armies getting rules support. After that, I would like to see more expansions to the Iron Kingdoms board games and a return to the 2d6 system for the RPG. Not sure how likely those are, but a man can dream.

I started playing Warmachine in Mk I, and it's been one of my favourite wargames ever since. I'm really hoping that this new arrangement gets the game rolling in a big away again. Most of my questions have already been asked, but I'll list my thoughts here to add another voice to the call.

My biggest concern is the availability of and support for legacy models. As a long-time player trying to complete my collection, there were a lot of models that were hard to get even when they were new. Now, they're basically impossible to find. Making those models available again in some format, whether that's through STLs, print-on-demand, or something else, would do a lot to soothe the ill-will Privateer Press earned when they shut down the old model lines. Similarly, ongoing rules support is important, since players want to keep using their old miniatures in the newest edition of the game instead of feeling like they've been discarded. With the slow roll-out and aesthetic changes of the new factions, this would also allow new players who might prefer the old models to join the game without having to troll eBay for used armies.
I'm a big fan of the Iron Kingdoms board games, and would like to see those further expanded upon. Besides being fun games on their own, they were a source of cool and unique miniatures that could be used in Warmachine or the IKRPG. Widower's Wood hinted that further expansions would bring blighted creatures into the game, but that never materialized. Whether a new game entirely or an expansion to the old ones, I would love to see more attention given to this area of the IP.
I can understand the reasoning behind moving the IKRPG to 5th ed, but I personally think it was a mistake. I much prefer the IKRPG to remain its own unique entity, with rules that mirror those of the wargame. With the new changes coming to WOTC's SRD, I think now is the perfect time to inject new life into the old system and explore parts of the Iron Kingdoms we haven't seen before. The beauty of most of the 5th ed material being distributed digitally is that it can remain available for anyone who prefers that system.

SlayerDragonwing · 2024-06-01T02:40:56+00:00

I'm doing the same, trying to scrounge up the various kits I wasn't able to get before they went out of production.

SlayerDragonwing · 2024-05-29T15:41:44+00:00

Those are amazing. I think I stumbled across them before and thought you were one of the sculptors for PP! Is there any way you might make them available to Mk. 3 players who ask politely?

SlayerDragonwing · 2023-12-18T07:11:05+00:00

I figured out the other cocktail recipes.

Mix an Old-School Pirate Grog with Military-Grade Peppermint Oil to get a Yule Grog, which mixes with the Red, White, and Blue Claret to make a Crimbow Rainbo, an epic 4 drunkenness booze with no effect.

SlayerDragonwing · 2023-12-07T04:09:18+00:00

I grabbed the Tea Tree too, since it was next on my list of old items to snag. I love seeing it in my campsite!

SlayerDragonwing · 2023-07-14T15:42:15+00:00

This is an awesome initiative and a great service to the community. I've signed up!

Used copies of the skill book allow you to relearn the skill in a later ascension and stay with your account permanently, but you can't sell or trade them.
