Shadows, shells, and a mid-year update — Warmachine Wednesday
Published on  Updated on  

Before we begin today’s article, we want to share our sadness at the passing of John Blanche

John was an incredibly talented fantasy and sci-fi illustrator and modeller whose work had immeasurable influence on the industry and the face of wargaming as we know it today. 

John’s work touched the lives of thousands, and his legacy will live on in the worlds he was instrumental in shaping. Our condolences go out to John’s family and friends. He will be missed.


This week, the mid-year update is inbound, super heavies are stomping onto battlefields, Dusk Fane of Nyrro continue their dark ascent, and we're celebrating an incredible UK Games Expo.

Mid-Year Update releases tomorrow, June 4

Get your download fingers ready, because the mid-year update releases tomorrow, June 4, in the Warmachine app. For details, check out last week’s Warmachine Wednesday

To give you a little something to keep you going until tomorrow, here’s the list of models included in the update. This list includes a mixture of buffs, nerfs, and even a few gameplay style tweaks…

Super heavies have landed

A lighthouse-carrying crustacean has made landfall and a draconic nightmare has emerged from the shadows.

Make way for Ol' Scuttlebutt

The Southern Kriels Brinebloods have their first super heavy warbeast. Armed with a devastating tri-cannon, a crushing Shipwrecker claw, and the towering searchlight that guides the Brineblood advance, Ol' Scuttlebutt is ready to make waves across the battlefield.

A new shadow descends

The Shadow Seraph arrives for Khymaera Shadowflame Shard, bringing Saeryn's latest creation to the tabletop. Built to endure as well as destroy, this towering super heavy warbeast combines shadowflame, draconic fury, and powerful animi to weather enemy assaults while holding ground for Khymaera.

From the ruins of Eversael

Previewed during Lock & Load EU, Fane of Nyrro have emerged from the ruins of Eversael, bringing ancient eldritch warlocks, terrifying warbeasts, and an insatiable hunger for the life force of their enemies.

Leading the force is Hysene, the Executioner, wielding the massive Caelymourn and driving her army forward through relentless waves of assault.

Alongside her march the elite Strygon Riders, steadfast Fane Knights, the corpse-commanding Sythyss Prophet, and a collection of brutal warbeasts, including the feral Vordak and savage Strygon.

Embrace your darker ambitions with  Executioner's Toll, releasing June 23.

Warmachine merch has arrived

The official Warmachine merch store is open! Fly the banner for your favourite army or show your love for P3 Paints.

Thanks, UK Games Expo!

Finally, a HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us at this year’s UK Games Expo.

The Warmachine demos were non-stop and the P3 Paint & Take was full all weekend. If you missed us sharing all our behind-the-scenes show antics on socials, make sure you head over and give Warmachine a follow on your favourite platforms. 

We had an incredible time hanging out with existing, returning, and new players and we already can’t wait for next year. Who’s going?!
