Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Well I’ve finally finished plowing through the Warmachine Mark II rules and even have a few games under my belt, so it seemed like time to share my first impressions. For those who haven’t been through the rules yet, here are the big changes:
So how does it play? It plays like Warmachine to be honest, but less so. With all of the reductions in ability, the game feels far less like Warmachine. warjacks definitely pack a bigger punch with the new rules, but they’re still no match for an elite infantry unit. Many of my favorite units definitely got nerfed, particularly Goreshade who doesn’t seem as viable as he once was (a common complaint being voiced on the forums). The game definitely seems slower paced and less combo-based than it once was, but in a lot of ways, that’s what made Warmachine special. If you’ve ever played Warmachine, you really owe it to yourself to check out the new rules. Maybe the worst criticism I’ve heard came from my son who finished up a game and asked “Can we play Warhammer now?”
