The next WARMACHINE expansion,
WARMACHINE: Vengeance
, is
in the works, and it is loaded with models that add to the game in
new and exciting ways. Although the book releases early next year,
we’re going to be revealing some of the awesome new warcasters,
warjacks, units, and solos here and in upcoming issues of
No Quarter
.
Imagine wading into battle with a squad of skilled warriors at
your command, a cadre of ten-ton steam-powered automatons
that obey your every thought, and the power of a thunderstorm
in the palm of your hand. That’s what we want you to experience
in
WARMACHINE: Tactics
, the turn-based tactics game that,
with your help, will bring the award-winning WARMACHINE
miniatures game to your desktop PC or Mac.
Privateer Press has partnered with video game developer
WhiteMoon Dreams to bring WARMACHINE to your home
computer. This collaboration allows us to explore the world
of the Iron Kingdoms in a whole new way and to bring brand
new characters to life. The star of
WARMACHINE: Tactics
is the
Cygnaran journeyman warcaster Lieutenant Allison Jakes, and
she’s joined by a host of fresh faces from other factions who are
headed not only to your Mac or PC but to your tabletop as well.
Here’s a first look at the stats of the new novice warcasters as they
will appear in
WARMACHINE: Vengeance.

lieutenant Allison Jakes
A consummate duelist, Lt. Allison Jakes moves across the
war-torn battleields of western Immoren with deadly poise,
striking down foes and then darting away to prepare for her
next attack. She utilizes her arcane abilities to impart the
same luidity of movement to the warjacks in her battlegroup,
granting them a burst of speed at critical moments or imbuing
them with the grace of a duelist.
SMAll BASE
Army selections like Rangers work well with Jakes and her
battlegroup, providing a real boost to their ranged accuracy,
while others provide more speciic beneits (like a Grenadier
double-dipping from Jakes’ support as well as from a Trencher
Master Gunner). Plenty of Cygnaran warcasters should
consider adding the good lieutenant to their team, but Captain
Victoria Haley and Major Brisbane stand out thanks to the
beneits of Blitz and Temporal Barrier or Breach, Foxhole, and
Mage Sight, respectively.
Using lieutenant Allison Jakes
Lieutenant Allison Jakes boasts a solid stat line, a pair of
magical melee weapons, and a hand cannon for picking of
targets at a distance. Her Energizer spell gives her battlegroup
greater mobility and can be useful as a defensive repositioning
tool in addition to its more obvious application of getting
targets into range of her battlegroup’s guns. Jakes’ Sidekick
spell is an exceptional defensive measure for the lieutenant
and one warjack in her battlegroup. Taking a Hunter up to
DEF 16 and Jakes up to DEF 17 is impressive, but it’s immunity
to knockdown, push, place, and slam that guarantees
enemies don’t negate DEF bonuses by using knockdown or
repositioning tricks.
noViCe WARCASTeR PRiMeR—
inTRoDUCTion
Though the Journeyman Warcaster ability has been around since
the irst printing of
WARMACHINE: Prime
was released back in
2003, models with this ability are just now becoming available
for ive out of the six factions represented in this preview
article. These models have certain self-evident applications, but
they are also deceptively versatile. Focus is a powerful force,
and a 4-FOC solo is a true threat on the tabletop battleields of
WARMACHINE, as each and every one of these new novice
warcasters will show.
One gameplay element that sets Jakes apart from the other
novice warcasters is her Sprint ability. All these 4-FOC solos
can dish out some pain in melee, but Jakes can live to fight
another day by Sprinting away after battle. Add in a 1- or
2-point Energizer, and she can be well away from forces
seeking retaliation.
