No Quarter #49 highlights the expansion of WARMACHINE in bold new directions with previews of the upcoming deck-building card game WARMACHINE High Command and a first look at the the squad-based video game WARMACHINE Tactics. Also in this issue, Guts & Gears examines the twisted world of the blighted Nyss; Forces of Distinction returns with two new theme forces; and Stone & Steel introduces dwarven warcasters and warjacks for the Iron Kingdoms Full Metal Fantasy Roleplaying Game.
Beyond the Batt lefield
For ten years WARMACHINE has torn up the tabletop, presenting steam-powered miniatures mayhem to thousands of players across the world. The mighty nations of the Iron Kingdoms have squared off with one another countless times on a 4´ x 4´ battlefield within game stores, convention halls, garages, and basements. But such conflict cannot be confined within such a space for long, and this year we are going to take WARMACHINE beyond the tabletop and offer our players two new ways to
experience the Iron Kingdoms.
First up is the exciting new deck-building card game WARMACHINE High Command, where you expand the scope of battle in the Iron Kingdoms and take on the role of a high commander. Instead of just one warcaster, his battlegroup, and supporting troops and solos, you’ll take charge of the entire military might of one of the nations of the Iron Kingdoms. For more information on this exciting new game, check out the preview section off this issue on p. 12.
Next we’re going to show you a new expression of the WARMACHINE game, something we’re developing with our partners at WhiteMoon Dreams. WARMACHINE Tactics is a turn-based strategy game for PC and Mac platforms that includes both a riveting single-player campaign and a thrilling multi-player format. Even better, it introduces a group of exciting new characters into the WARMACHINE universe that you’ll be able to play on the tabletop as well. Have a look at the “The New Faces of
WARMACHINE” for more on Tactics.
There’s lots more in No Quarter #49 beyond the previews, including rules for Rhulic warcasters and warjacks in the roleplaying game, a fascinating Gavyn Kyle Files on Wurmwood, Tree of Fate, and more new theme forces in Forces of Distinction. Prepare to experience western Immoren like never before!
