      Mk2 was an outstanding game. For me, anyway, far superior to 40k. At the time, AoS was a joke and Fantasy was unsupported (dead). So it was a great opportunity for Privateer to shine. I’m not really sure exactly what happened then... AoS 2nd Ed came out, and it had morphed into an actual game, not just a silly four page rules excuse to buy models. WMH Mk3 happened, and a lot of people seemed to be less than pleased. The local WHM scene simply evaporated, most of the people migrating back to GW, AoS.

      If you have a warmachine community locally. It is worth the time to go out and get a demo and see if it fits.
      I played a lot of mk2, it was an amazing time to be a gamer and part of the community. skorne and ret were my factions of choice.
      As much as I am not happy with certain things that were done in the past and ret being turned into hot topic cryx. The game itself is worth checking out.

    So my favorite faction for Warmachine is Khador. Partly because I got into the hobby in Mk2 because "giant robots fights" sparked something in teenage me. As times gone on I have come to very much appreciate how their lore is and how it's presented. On the surface level they are your brutal, nationalistic, bad guy faction, but when you take the time to look deeper and learn about them you learn that Khador is far deeper and nuanced than that, and are actually pretty chill dudes in a lot of ways.
    For Hordes the Legion of Everblight is my favorite because firstly "Dragons are cool" and it's a faction based around "What if X but a dragon?" Beyond that the dragon himself Everblight is one of my favorite characters in fiction. He's such a little weasel and I wouldn't trust him with watering my flowers, but he's this confident, incredibly competent badass who has the towing arrogance of his father Toruk, but is this massive coward at the same time. He's Immoren's Starscream leading a Legion of Starscreams and I love it.

    Small points, but Leto is Vinter’s brother not son, and Morrow is an actively good god and the primary deity of Cygnar, whereas Menoth is the progenitor god of many races but is actually lawful neutral, and very fire and brimstone, which is why many humans, particularly in Cygnar, turned from the worship of Menoth to the far more forgiving and lenient Morrow. Also Thamar unilaterally pacted with the Infernals on behalf of all mankind

    Well, my favourite factions in mk3 are/were trollbloods and mercenary privateers.
    So i like the relatively grounded steampunk pirate aesthetic, and more lighthearted "Scottish" trolls.
    So it would be no surprise that in mk4 brineblood marauders are hands-down my favourite faction.

      Yes, you are correct. This was one of 2/3 things I got wrong. The hazards of doing it all in one big block and going by vibes from novels I read. A lot of the novels made Khador out to be just kind of really evil, which pushed them towards following the "evil" god. Oopsy

I have recently started looking for a hobby to take some of the pressure from magic (wotc's release schedule has gotten to be far too overwhelming for me) and I remembered I enjoyed Warmachine as a spectator. With more free time I thought I might pick it up again but currently the main line factions aren't my cup of tea.
    Hopefully the infernals get a second release, I thought they were super cool.

    Sorry but got to fix a part of the gods. Cygnar is big on morrow, like state religion big and not as big on Menoth. Thamar is not officially thing anywhere, shes more of a god for self centered people. Menites exist everywhere and the god is more of lawfull neutral/evil. In the sense of worship me or burn.
    Anyway, like the videos, keep it coming!

    • @randynewnham5571
      @randynewnham5571 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yeah the part on the gods was quite a bit off. Menoth is a lawful neutral god, though the clergy are dominated by the lawful evil scrutators. His opposite is the Devourer Wurm. Morrow is primarily good, and Thamar's is primarily evil... ish. Mostly selfish, extreme individualism. But by Morrow's decree her writings are bound with his in their holy book, the Enkheiridion. But most importantly, 'Burn the heretics' Menoth isn't a good guy. To most.

    Khador did not worship Thamar....the Old Faith as it was called was worship of Menoth. Also i would t call Morrow "neutral", he is more akin to the "New Testament" catholic god with forgiveness and mercy vs Menoth being the "Old Testament" god of wrath and fire. Thamar was more worshiped by pirates and brigands in Ord. Also to my knowledge, Cygnar primarily worshiped Morrow over Menoth, hence the existence of their Precirsor Knights.

      Half Glass did a good job with the lore, but he is not your dad. We are all adults here and we know that in the world people have cultural differences and all people find some cultural differences offensive.
      If you find the current Alphabet club aesthetic ugly and visually offensive. And if GW wants to hang their hat on that aesthetic, you're an adult and you're allowed to feel that way.
      GW is in an aesthetic based business so good luck to them.
      Privateer Press has a trans game designer who is a math master mind, but the Privateer Press doesn't tokenize her, she's just damn good at her job and she is responsible for the MkIV, Warcaster, Riot Quest and Monsterpocalypse rules. And she isn't obsessed with erasing the female form out of the miniature hobby aesthetic out of, I don't know, revenge at this point?
      She is a skill hire not a political hire like you are seeing with GW.
