@ MIJ - Weathering is a good idea, but still... blue.

@ Spevna - Sounds like Warmachine is taking off. Great stuff.

More Menoth? #sigh# Ah well, at least it isnt Cryx.

I am surprised there is no Mercs yet. I guess a rag tag faction doesn't appeal when u can and them to the other factions.

Shame the elfy dudes' 'jacks aren't a little more cooler. I might have considered them.

@Dungeon Lord - sorry to get back to you so late on this. I`ll start another thread about getting started with Cygnar because...

I will eventually post a picture of my Stormwall in this thread.

The Spevna wanted the mercs but the Menoth battle box was to cheap for him to say no.

PP is doing a 25 pnt sale on all factions. Mercs look cool enough and I'll add some as time goes on but mainly as support

@ Spevna - Tis a shame about that. Variety in opponents is a good thing.

@ Dangiunius - no probs mate.

As for Mercs, though all three groups are in one book, Mercs are generally fielded in one of three versions:

1. Rhulic army (Typical Dwarves - slow but hard as nails. They have some very nice warjacks! But they only have two warcasters and a fairly limied number of units/solos).

2. Pirates (Three Warcasters. Their units and warjacks are no bad, but where they really shine is their solos. Each one adds a new synergy/combo with the rest of your force. Some of the combos are very tricky, but surprisingly powerful. They look fun to paint, but maybe not the best army for a beginner to learn with).

3. Mercs - Steelheads (Three Warcasters + Magnus and his little mini-faction). These are your standard Mercs - cavalry, halberdiers, rifle corps, and some solos. Everything is fairly generic but can become deadly with certain Merc casters. Their warjacks are decptively good (Talon and Nomad and Mule, to name a few).

Also, if you want variety, don`t be afraid to go with a Hordes faction. The rules are 90% the same as warmachine (only their use of Fury and the way warbeasts take damage are different than WarMachine). Combat, shooting, spell rules and feats are the same as WarMachine.
