At first I thought this was going to be a Blizzard game.

I thought it was going to be a game starring War Machine (from Marvel Comics). Although in retrospect, the game's name is one word, not two, heh.

I love the setting of the Privateer Press game, but sadly never got to play the miniature games (no players around here). Would love a chance to finally experience the Warmachine universe. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

I love the Warmachine universe too. Googly Cryx Deathjack, and see what I mean. Should make for a really good game.

I hope this game does well so we can eventually get a Hordes PC/console game.

I LOVE the Iron Kingdoms pen and paper RPG Privateer Press put out that's based off of Warmachine!

actually if you read the intro to the IK book, they started work on the rpg and then thought it would make an awesome setting for a wargame too

Hopeful response: If they're smart it'll be an RTS or even a SRPG

Cynical response: It'll probably be like Armored Core...

It's not an RTS, it's an over the shoulder action-y game from the perspective of a Warcaster I believe.

This was announced and previewed I Gen-Con. They showed some pre-alpha stuff. Managed to take a few pics. Even the early stuff looks promising.

Hmmm, why does this logo seem somewhat familiar? :p

I wonder if this to bait in casual Blizzard game players, if such a thing exists, like CrimeCraft did.

This (miniature) game has been out since before World of Warcraft if that's what you're implying.

I was at this announcement at GenCon Indy, as a fan of the miniature game I am looking very forward to this. They did not show off a lot at the con but they have some videos up on their website from the announcement.

I also was at Gen Con Indy and sat front row for this announcement. They showed a computer generated Juggernaut, which looked sweet.

I imagine the scope of the entire Warmachine would is too broad (what with six WM factions and four Hordes factions). It'll most likely focus on Cygnar and Khador's warring.

To those of you who don't know what Warmachine is, it's a table top miniatures game where you have warcasters (like wizard generals) who have twelve-foot tall steam-powered robots called Warjacks. You also have your infantry and solo models that do specific things. It's actually a very interesting world, it all takes place in a land called Western Immoren. The way it was explained to me is this: It's a world where steam technology and gunpowder were invented say 500 years earlier than it was. It has elements of Steampunk and fantasy. You have steam-powered robots fighting, pirates, zombies, elves, wizards, dragons (sort of). It has the potential of being an awesome game. It is far more interesting a world (in my opinion) than World of Warcraft.
