I'm thinking about starting Warmachine because I don't find 40k all that fun. What can you guys tell me about it? IS this a good starter kit?

Warmachine has 4 separate boards on this forum under "Warmachine". You may consider checking those out.

Here is a link to the General Discussion. Link

Oh thanks, is it possible to move my thread then?

I've asked for it to be moved for you.

FYI, the exclamation mark (top right of each post) is the 'Alert Moderator' Button, it allows you to alert them ot rules breaking or just to ask if something can be moved.

If your intrested in either of those armies. Then yes, its a very good start.

A little bit about warmachine.

Its more of a skirmish game, then per say a large scale game like 40k.

You have your main "caster" Warcaster/Warlock. (There is also other scenario's but even then, caster dies you lose)

If said Warcaster/Warlock dies, you auto lose. Its a kill condition.

Now with that, warcasters just dont fall over 15-20 ish damage boxes usually.

Now the bread and butter of the game, Warjacks and Warbeasts. They can knock models down, throw then etc.

They have a damage Grid, Heavies can take up to 30-34 damage on average before they die.

There are many combo's, tricks etc through the game, youll see more of this when/if you get into the game.

Now down to the armies, each faction has many different warcasters, and most of the time.. each warcaster makes your army play alot different.. its like owning 1 army, toss in a new caster and feels like you have a 2nd.. Using alot of the same units.

And at last, here is a link to the quick start rules if you wanna take a read through to see some of the basics.

If you like either or both of those armies, that deal is great for the price. If you have a friend and someone wants his own book, its an insane offer. Check out what buying the individual models outside of the box would cost you and you will see why. You are probably saving money throwing away the other army its such a good deal (please don't do that, send it to me first).

I'm going to start Khador, is this a good start? Or is it better to buy other kits?

It's such a good start I'm going to be using it to make a spare khador force my friends can play against me. Easily worth the price, and fairly solid units from I understand.

Definitely worth it. If I didn't already have 2 pKreosses, I'd buy one.

Ok, thanks guys, I just ordered.
