Souls due, souls taken, souls saved — Grymkin, Infernals, and Convergence return

A new way to play — Tales from the Frontlines

It’s been a big year already, with the January balance update, Steamroller 2026, and the return of three classic factions, and we’re only getting started. So what’s next? How about a whole new Casual Play pack: Tales from the Frontlines.

We created this pack to celebrate all kinds of Warmachine play, from Iron Arenas and club nights to kitchen tables. It gives casual play the same support as matched play, with scenarios and formats that encourage you to experiment and make those big, memorable plays.

The pack releases this Friday in the Warmachine app, and in the meantime, you can read all about it here.

Lock & Load EU badges go live this week

Lock & Load is coming to Europe for the first time ever this year! Happening in sunny Sheffield, England, from May 15-17, it's set to be a Warmachine weekend to remember packed with matched, casual, and narrative games, painting hangouts, and more besides.

Many of you have been patiently awaiting the badge drop and the time is almost here. We've even got early bird weekend badges complete with VIP swag bags for all you lovely lot. Keep a weather eye on Warmachine channels for the launch.

The Lock & Load US badge drop will be a little later — updates to follow..

From trapdoor to tabletop — Kithguard Command Starter release

Craghorn’s not interested in a fair fight; he’s interested in a clean ambush and devastating precision strikes. The Southern Kriels Kithguard Command Starter is landing in stores tomorrow and the whole Iron Kingdoms are braced for ambush.

Find out what Kithguard bring to the table in our preview. (Hint: it's trap doors.)

Bring home the bacon — Thornfall Alliance pre-orders

The Thornfall Alliance stampede keeps growing, and we’re sure Emperor Carver is more than pleased with this development. Hungry and ready for war, the Thornfall Alliance Command Starter, plus a whole pen of breakouts, including the War Hog, Road Hog, Razor Boars, and Bone Grinders, ready for you to pre-order.
