Warmachine Mark 2 Intro - Series 1 Part 2 - Basic Game mechanics

[Ichigo9913]

i can't find the points cost of a warcaster anywhere on the card, only warjack points. so how does that work?

[doremicom]

@Ichigo9913 Your first warcaster is free.... if you play a large enough game that you'd want a second warcaster.... they're 50 points, regardless of which warcaster. Remember that you can't field 2 of the same warcaster, they are unique.

[Ichigo9913]

@doremicom and what about the warjack points on the caster's card, how do those work?

[doremicom]

@Ichigo9913 These are points that you can subtract from your army list for warjacks that are in that warcaster's battlegroup. For example, if warcaster X has 6 warjack points, your first 6 points of warjacks in the warcaster's battle group are free. If X only has 5 points of warjacks in their battelgroup, you can't use that additional point somewhere else. Independant warjacks cannot be added to a battlegroup. Warjacks not assigned to the casters battle gorup cannot use those points either.

[TheIronmaidenisgod]

alrite, and thanks for the awsome giveaway doremicom. TWO TUMBS UP TO U!!!!!!

[TheNitroBeast]

along with my other questions what do i need to play a regular game

[TheNitroBeast]

how do i determine who is a warcaster? are they all the independant guys?

[doremicom]

@TheNitroBeast The name of the model will include the faction and the label "warcaster" if the model is a warcaster. Some individual model purchases fall under "solos" instead of "warcaster"

[Templar910]

You are a really big help hey can you tell the necron player that you know to message me i am a new necron player myself

[TheIronmaidenisgod]

quick question dormicom, have u thought of donig a heroscape walkthrough? have u played the game before? please respond

[doremicom]

@TheIronmaidenisgod I have never played Heroscape. I don't currently have funds to pick it up with my desire to get a little deeper into Warmachine and Pathfinder. Have to draw the line some where. Would I do a tutorial if I thought the game was good and I had access to models, without a doubt.

[osoidian]

Nicely done sir.

[doremicom]

@osoidian Thanks.

[SouthCoastJam]

These vids are great. I've just started with WM so its very helpful.

[doremicom]

@SouthCoastJam Which faction are you taking? Just out of curiosity.

[SouthCoastJam]

@doremicom I'm going with Protectorate Of Menoth.........mostly because it was the only unclaimed faction at my local gaming club.

[doremicom]

@SouthCoastJam That is as good a reason as any other. For me, I'm a huge fan of the menoth warcaster sculpts. Also, my brain seems to get them a little easier than other factions because they have a similar play style to Black Templars (in the few games that I've played).

[SouthCoastJam]

@SouthCoastJam Black Templars? as in War40K? If thats so its kinda scary as I've recently decided to start a BT army for WAR40K

[reeseothree]

Thank you very much for this series on Warmachine. Its been informative and helpful to me. Im very glad to see your doing this and not join in the "omg new 40k codex! must devote days/weeks/month to it" bandwagon (Im not a 40k hater, I just dislike how it overshadows everything else in the hobby). Again thank you and keep up the good work.

[doremicom]

@reeseothree You are very welcome. It's my pleasure to do tutorial vids, especially when a game impresses me as much as Warmachine does.
