Warmachine
WAR MACHINE(tm) is set in the IRON KINGDOMS(tm)¸ an environment that combines the best of traditional fantasy with steam power and gunpowder. Across the realm¸ ancient rivalries among nations are about to explode into all-out conflict¸ setting the stage for WAR MACHINE and other IRON KINGDOMS products.In WAR MACHINE¸ players take on the role of an elite soldier-sorcerer known as a 'warcaster.' While a warcaster is a formidable force on the battlefield¸ their true strength is in their ability to magically control and coordinate the actions of their mighty warjacks-steam-powered combat automatons that represent the pinnacle of military might in the IRON KINGDOMS.
Each warjack is a fifteen foot tall ironclad behemoth¸ a coal-fired engine of destruction with a primitive magical brain. On its own a warjack is capable of only the most rudimentary actions¸ but when bonded to a warcaster its efficiency and deadliness increase dramatically.
WAR MACHINE focuses on battles between warcasters and the titanic forces that they control. A match is fought with a warjack's thundering cannons¸ ripping iron claws and crushing hammer blows¸ as well as devastating spells wrought by the warcaster himself. When the dust settles¸ one side is victorious and the other is nothing but smoking scrap metal!
