I've heard warmachine mentioned a lot so earlier I had a look at the website. Its a good site but I couldnt find much info about starting the game. From what i've read Cryx sound the coolest but thats just from reading the race background.

How many models are required for basic games?
How popular is the game - do many people play it?
Are the rules complicated?
What style is the game, does it focus on small combats or the whole board?

As you can see I really have no idea about warmachine but I think it sounds cool.

Sounds like a good game, and in the future I may (probably) get into it. I was worried about finding and opponent but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Unfortunately I have realised that I would be unable to play it while living where I do, the nearest independant games store is miles away and would make it hard for me to get the models let alone play with them.

Thanks a lot for the very helpful replies.
