you need the rulebook, a tape measure, some counters and a dozen dice, as well as game specific templates.

cygnar battlebox is a solid place to start. add in cygnar favorites like the squire and gun mages.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307747.page GMT Re:What is required to play warmachine not required, unless you're intending to play a themed list as that's where they're found. All of a model's individual rules can be found on the card that comes with the model(though make sure you have the current Mk2 cards, and not the older Mk1 versions).

To start playing the game, you don't even necessarily need the Prime Mark 2 rulebook, as you can play a battlebox game with just the free quickstart rules, which can be found here: http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/the-game.

However, once you start branching out into troops and more advanced rules, you definitely will need to pick up the rulebook.

To learn more about Cygnar, I'd suggest two places: The Privateer Press Cygnar "Boot Camp" and the Battle College Cygnar Page.

Rule book

Battlebox

and a unit of gun mages

DO you get the templates with the battbox or not?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307845.page GMT Re:What is required to play warmachine
I actually liked picking up the book while not needed it has saved me from buying unnecessary units (I have to build on a budget).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307933.page GMT What is required to play warmachine http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307962.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2307962.page GMT What is required to play warmachine

Privateer Press makes a nice, fairly inexpensive set of plastic templates. Alternately, there are also templates printed in the back of the main rulebook which you can photocopy and print out if you wanted to save some money.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2308339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2308339.page GMT What is required to play warmachine

looks like a solid start to me. if i was starting with that list (looking at 25 pts.) i would either get the UA for the gunmages and a hunter light warjack for them to marshal, or i would look into a heavy hitting melee jack to compliment the ironclad, or a melee unit to counterbalance the gunmages.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309029.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309029.page GMT What is required to play warmachine
I'm curious as I'm thinking I might start collecting bit by bit with tournament winnings from 40k and I wanted to know the best way to go. I'll probably be picking up the rulebook just for giggles in a bit but am curious as to how deeply I'd have to invest into an off branch game (for me).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309049.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309049.page GMT What is required to play warmachine
the ogrun gunner unit is a new unit the will be released after the merc book, so they will be card only, or released in the next WM suppliment called Wrath.

And if you're trying to think of what units to buy, while you can't get their exact stats from there you can check out the Battle College to read up on the different models and units available.

BTW you might want to consider getting the Black 13 gun mages over the standard gun mages. They have more utility for whatever caster you decide to play.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309109.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309109.page GMT What is required to play warmachine http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309113.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309113.page GMT What is required to play warmachine http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309134.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309134.page GMT What is required to play warmachine
black 13th are very good as well, but i think the gunmages (with UA) with offer more to a beginning player. once he has the ropes down, he can jump into B13 easier.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2309144.page GMT Re:What is required to play warmachine http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2339490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/338502/2339490.page GMT
