oh, I think it bears mentioning that Warmachines miniatures are on the tall side of 30mm scale (as opposed to GW's 28mm scale) The sculpts a great, and have a lot of detail. Units can be bought in packs, or by themselves and they are generally cheaper than GW,... in the end though you will 1/2 as many figures on the board as you would in say a 40 k game, but those figures will be bigger and nicer to look at, with more options when it comes to game play. The bad side is that once you have x number of units there isn't a lot of variety in miniatures. You cant buy specials with points and just say oh yeah, my Ironfangs have flameguns.
Play order bugs me too, and is something I would change to a card draw every turn just to randomize it.
Warmachines coolest miniatures,... well like I said Im partial to the Khador army (the russki's) It was their Widowmaker snipers and Warjacks that did it, ... well and Sorcha the warcaster with her huge scythe.
The Cryx have some really vile undead mini's and the Menoth faction has some cool looking Warjacks, but the main goodguy faction Cygnar looks,... well goofy.
Anyhow I bought a unit of Widowmakers and plan to get a Khador box set soon. (2 heavy warjacks and Sorcha.)
I figure I can play Carl at the very least...
To victory!
