Overall it's "meh" for me. Some of the Cryx models are really cool, but I really don't like the backround. I like the whole "Sci-Fi armies blowing the hell out of each other and GRIMDAAAAAARRRRRKK!!!!"

-cough-

Anyway, not interested in the least.

I still have such a backlog of 40K to paint, even without my 40-odd unbuilt boys, I don't really want to start a new force right now, regardless to which game it belongs. That said, the starter force boxes seem like a decent deal and the basic rules available online look very playable. I could definitely see myself getting into it (Warmachine much more so than Hordes) if I had the cash/time/opportunities for play. For now, I'll stick to my 40K, but Warmachine would be my next stop, should I later choose to switch miniature wargames, for whatever reason.

My friend plays it...I dont.

I personally do not have any interest in the game for a number of reasons.

Don't like the rules.
Don't like the background.
Don't like the armies.
Don't like the models.
Don't like the Warjacks.
Don't like the scenarios.

And some other ones too. But you get the picture.

I've looked into it several times, as I do like many of the models. However, ever Warmachine mini I would collect is one less unit in my existing 40k army. Plus Dark Eldar has to be coming out at some point and I'm saving my pennies for that.

I ogle Warmachine miniatures but cringe from knowing that those top heavy beauties are metal.

I think the Warmachine mechs just look plain goofy.

Besides, it's impossible to get your hands on them (or any model company other then GW) from Holland.

Played 40k for around 9 years now.

Played Warmachine now for a month

Rules are so much better then the junk Games workshop comes out with.

Selling my tyranids down to 1 army, ill never buy a GW model again.

Might one day sell the other army and be done with the game since the rules and codex creep get worse and worse.

After a couple months of playing it, meh.

Fun game, but I miss WHFB sometimes, so I may just end up having Mercs and Cryx, then expand on my WoC 'till the end.

It's hard to get a hold of the fluff, and most of it isn't too great either. Not fond of centering the fluff on the 'casters either, it feels a lot less like a fantasy world and more like a soap opera where none of the characters die off and they just add newer characters...

Don't like warmachine, will never play it.

I have seen a few video demos and a couple of real games and though it was BORING. Reading about it I though it would be a good alternative to WF40K but in reality with a slow player it is worse then 40K and even regular games are really really slow. I have had faster chess games then the way War machine seem to play. I am disappointed.

Actually I voted as not interested in General but I should have said Other (A better choice to have available was Tried the game, hated it and am no longer interested.) I bought a Khador army some time ago, painted up several warjacks and a caster and some infantry then played it and hated the game. Tried it twice, did nothing for me as I thought the mechanics were a bit broken, or at least as taught to me by a couple of experienced players who had all the armies memorized and could tell me what they would/could do to prevent me from countering and then tabling me. Those games and watching others lead to further discussion where it was apparent that if one could be bothered to memorize the units and cards the outcome was almost predetermined.

Decided the game was not for me and I gave my army away to a friend and have never looked back and have no intention of doing so

I wouldn't play it but i am sometimes tempted to get a model or two for conversions

Have a nice cryx force but lack of opponents and the 'builds' mentality mean that its like a game of magic the gathering with miniatures.

Interested in Warmachine...doubt I'll start another hobby game though

40K and airsoft suck up too much of my money!

I played a few games and found it pretty meh.

Not good enough for me too spend money on at the moment.

maybe when Christmas comes around.

I don't like the look of the models and I already have 2 sci fi games.

Warhammer 40k for my army/hordes fix.

Battle Tech for my skirmish fix.

Mech Warrior for my roll play fix.

Looks interesting. I do not really like the background as much as Warhammer though. I will probably start it eventually, whenever I have the time and money.

Me and a friend tried it out one time. We were in a situation where neither one of us could devote alot of time and space for 40k or fantasy. We each bought a starter, put together the models, played a game, and never touched the models since.

I dunno what it was, but it just didnt catch on like we had hoped. Maybe we will dust it off and try again someday.

Nah I never heard of it untill a little while ago,I just don't see it as being fun.

I like the Warjacks (I thinks thats right) and some of the other models but the big issue for me is the cost.
The local store that do stock it charge like a wounded bull for the gear so high prices and low model count make an
univiting purchase.

What is it in the first place.

After nearly a decade of GW, Warmachine has been a godsend.

At this years adepticon I recieved a free Cryx starter which completely broke my reluctance to get into the game...I was like most people here and I worried that the game would be too "meta-driven" and I'd have to change my list and buy new models constantly to keep up but this really isn't the case.

For anyone on the fence, give it a try with some proxied models, I believe you can get free quickstart rules on the privateer press website. Obviously, if you don't like the minis or fluff the game probably isn't for you, but to everyone else, give it a try...The worst thing that can happen is you'll like it and have a new habit to support!

I voted "Other" because I generally dislike metal figures, regardless of how nice they may or may not be sculpted.

I don't like the whole steampunk feel to warmachine, and i just generally don't like the look of the models. I love the look of most 40k armies.

I love me some Warmahordes. Steampunk-riffic and, in my experience, more tactical than either flavor of Warhammer.

My main problem is I don't like enough of the figures from one faction to make an army.

I like about 5 warjacks total across all factions and hardly any of the units. Also haveing 2-3 of the same exact model in a unit of 10 dudes is a little off putting. I like to be able to pose every model diffrently.

I play Warmachine. I recently just started a Khador army. The game is interesting for what it does. All of the ways the miniatures combine is fun. The game is lacking in fluff and in my opinion the Jacks look like crap. It took me a while to get used to what the jacks look like. They look silly to me. Its definitely not 40k, but I find myself still preferring 40k since I don't have to memorize what every unit my opponent uses does. It gets annoying to remember all of that.

I like Warmachine, excellent ruleset, but I'm going to stay out of it, since my attention is going more and more towards 15mm/6mm figures.

However, to anyone who's on the fence - try it. If you'd like, wait until the 2 player set comes out, since it's such a wonderful deal. Or pick up a pair of battleboxes and enough models to get yourself to 15-20 points.

I would be interested but no one in my LGS plays it so it would be a waste of money for me.
