Mages in the trench — Warmachine Wednesday - Steamforged Games
Published on  Updated on  

This week in Warmachine the battlefields are alive with the sound of rattling metal and the smell of gunpowder.

This can only mean the Kithguard are here again. Southern Kriels Kithguard warlock Captain Tarja Grimtusk and her task force of trolls has been unleashed upon the Iron Kingdoms in the Kithguard Core Expansion.

We’ve also joined Dusk House Kallyss players in the glorious rising of Imperatus, Ashen Phoenix as a 80mm super heavy warjack.

But that’s not all, without further ado, here’s–

Today’s TL;DR

  • Next MiniCrate — Allister Caine gets a major new look in Gravedigger digs

  • Warmachine 3D — Last chance to get April’s pack

  • Lock & Load US — Earlybird VIP badges are live, secure yours now

  • Lock & Load EU — Plan your weekend of Warmachine, May is fast approaching

Trencher threads never looked so good — MiniCrate

Next month’s MiniCrate sees the esteemed Cygnar gunslinger Allister Caine don the trencher fatigues and gunmage beret in a fashionable new gravedigger variant.

Playable in both Cygnar Storm Legion and Gravediggers, if you want Caine leading your games, make sure you’re subscribed between April 28 and midnight on May 27. You’ll secure this sculpt for shipping in late June and continue to receive a fresh, exclusive miniature every month.

This means its your last chance to get the Sinister Master Exulon Sepsira who’ll be creeping back into the shadows with some fresh cadavers and top tips from the Cephalyx when she leaves MiniCrate on April 27.
