Hello forum, I am a 40k player who at the urging of friends is starting up Warmachine. I am actually pretty excited to play because the rules seem pretty robust and good. I went ahead and purchased the Prime MkII book and have read through all of it now. My only problem is I think I might start a Retribution force but they have next to no info in the book. If anyone could just give me a quick rundown of their basic lore and playstyle I would greatly appreciate it!

If you wish to start RoS, go check out the new battlebox! A must for beginners!

They're elves that shoot. They use magic, too.

Their specialty is weird shooting effects, I guess. Mage Hunter
Strike Force can get a unit attachment that lets them shoot
through stuff and their attacks are anti-warjack. Stuff like that.

Check the stickies at the top of the forum.

Also can check out Battlecollege, but I am not as big a fan of the overviews. They are hit and miss.

Also, check out the Retribution info on Battle College

Short answer is that they're combined arms and versatility.
