Warmachine: Tactics
Update Coming 10.21.14! FEAR THE REAPER [UNLESS YOU HAVE A KOVNIK]!
Next week’s update delivers Cryx’s much anticipated REAPER heavy warjack! As if its massive harpoon didn’t leave a big enough mark, the Reaper can drag victims into melee range for continued punishment with its Hell Driver, a vicious mechanical talon that will have the hardest targets writhing in agony!
Also marching onto the battlefield is Khador’s Man-O-War KOVNIK! An officer of the Man-O-War corps, the Kovnik slams through enemy ranks, felling them left and right with his giant axe. And with the cannon integrated into the haft of his axe, there’s nothing he can’t reach!
In the days ahead, don’t be surprised to see a few more surprises haunting the battlefield. Eligible Kistarter backers will soon receive a treasure trove of in-game rewards, including Gold Warjack Skins, Alternate Company Skins and advanced access to Cygnar’s Commander Sturgis and Cryx’s STURGIS THE CORRUPTED in multiplayer.
If Sturgis has you heading for the hills, don’t despair! Both versions will unlock for all players when the game goes into full release and the No Man’s Land campaign becomes available next month!
Pop into our twitch stream for tonight's #WTFridays at 6pm PST and see some of the new units in action!

10.07.14 - Bigger and Better Than Ever!
As WARMACHINE: Tactics nears its full release, new content and features continue to fill out this already exciting game experience.
In addition to online multiplayer, featuring robust unit rosters and fully-capable squad construction, WARMACHINE: Tactics now includes:
SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN LEVELS — The first three levels of the upcoming No Man’s Land single player campaign are now playable, complete with voice overs and including level-complete upgrades for the main character, Lieutenant Allison Jakes.
SINGLE PLAYER AI SKIRMISH MODE — Use any custom or pre-made squad against an AI opponent on any multiplayer map. (AI is currently set to an early 'easy' mode, with more advanced difficulties coming later.)
WARJACK POWER ATTACKS — Warjacks with an open fist can now throw opponents, and throws and slams now include collateral damage!
PLUS, NEW EVEN MORE UNITS ADDED!
This week’s WARMACHINE: Tactics update brings four new warrior units and a whole new range of formidable options to reach out and attack your opponent with!
With the added melee distance of his Voltaic Halberd and the ability to arc lighting from one target to another, Cygnar’s STORMGUARD controls his ground until he puts his enemy in it!
Armed with a heavy crossbow loaded with Blessed Bolts, the Protectorate’s EXEMPLAR ERRANT boasts enough firepower and weapon mastery to bring Menoth’s enemies to their knees.
Hold your breath as Khador’s ASSAULT KOMMANDO storms the battlefield, ruthlessly armed to the teeth with a bladed carbine, combat shield, and grenade launcher loaded with poisonous Strangle Gas rounds.
And finally, the bloated mass of Cryx’s foul BILE THRALL shambles into battle, and with the corrosive spray attack of its Bile Cannon, will purge the land of anyone who dares stray too close.
From flesh-searing lighting to steel-melting bile, these four new units are going to leave a mark on the battles of WARMACHINE: Tactics, so keep your distance!

WARMACHINE: Tactics - Standard Edition!
We're adding the $39.99 Standard Edition to WARMACHINE: Tactics!
The WARMACHINE: Tactics Beta is currently available through Steam Early Access. Updates made every two weeks introduce new content and features, and weekly updates (or more often) address bugs and functionality issues as we receive feedback from our community of players. The functionality of the online multiplayer experience is nearly complete with leaderboards soon to follow. Also finishing up shortly will be the single-player No Man’s Land campaign, AI Skirmish mode, hot-seat mode and asynchronous (play-by-mail).

Soon to be added to the Early Access Standard Edition are the following content and features:
• No Man’s Land single player campaign — 21 dynamic, story-based missions played over 21 unique maps, following journeyman warcaster, Lt. Allison Jakes through her epic journey to avenge her mentor and save her kingdom from an ancient evil. (Expected delivery: Late November)
• Custom Coloring System — A highly detailed toolset that allows you to customize the look of every unit in your squad in mind-blowing detail.
• Hot-Seat mode — Play head-to-head on the same computer.
