Warmachine Armies

For our first Warmachine battles, we'll be playing Rhulic Mercenaries Vs. Rhulic Mercenaries (basically a lot of dwarves hitting one another!). I've just recieived a large box containing 20 points worth of Khadorans (basically large angry steam-powered Russians!), and when those are painted, we'll start using those against one of the Rhulic forces.

The armies we'll be using are:

Gorton Grundback controlling a Gunner light warjack, Blaster light warjack and Driller heavy warjack.

Greygore Boomhowler and Co.

Horgenhold Forge Guard

vs.

Durgen Madhammer controlling two Gunner light warjacks, and a Rockram heavy warjack

Hammerfall high shield gun corspe with officer and standard

Herne and Jonne

Both of these forces are worth 16 points, and are nice, small learner type forces. Each player will be part of a team of three and will have control of one element of the army (the warcaster's battlegroup or one of the units).
