35pt warmachine armies? What?!

Has there been a revamp to the rules or something in the last few years?

Cheers

Yeah we're on to the second edition of Warmachine and Hordes rules, or Mark 2 as they say in Privateer Land. Changes were the points system (as you've noticed) and making Jacks more durable, making power attacks easier to get off, giving you free bonus points for jacks and beasts, and balancing some of the weaker and more overpowered casters a bit. Also thinned out and streamlined the number of special rules, and made unit coherancy a lot simpler to manage. Overall, it's a big improvement while still being broadly the same game.
What factions do you play?

The point system was changed so that units all around cost around 1-12 points. The warcaster doesn't cost any points, instead adds additional Warjack Points used to pay for a warjack (or part of one).

It works pretty well for the most part.

Cheers for the info. I guess I'll keep playing mark 1 for a while. As long as the dynamics are the same Its all good. I loved the brutality of the game.

Almost brought another army a few weeks back, but it was cheaper to buy a large ork army, man those tables have turned in the last few years.

By the old rules.
