Welcome to Gaia! ::

Does any one play war machine.
I wanna know if its easy to play and I know its cheap.

Warmachine is comparatively cheaper than Warhammer if you keep the game size small I recommend that you look through the rule book, draw up an average size army, and compare that cost to what you have in mind... I still have $100 before my Warhammer army (at 3000pts I'll have enough for mega battles) is complete and that'll place it at $300 of investment.

Alright. but if you ever get into 40k, I'd love to talk about it... It's rare to find people with armies for me to play against.

Oooh, I've always wanted to play a tabletop miniatures game, but there's no way I could afford it without giving up my video game addiction. sweatdrop

Plus, I'd have to go out and find people to play against, and I know some people who've played Warhammer 40k before, but they've all renounced it due to the costs and commitments of building up armies and playing in tournaments. I know there's a comic shop nearby that sells W40K units and holds tournaments, but I think they only hold hardcore tournaments one at a time and that's it.

Like I said, I'd love to play a game like that, but I simply don't have the funds or the means to do so.

I looked up WarMachine figurines (at www.thewarstore.com), and even the basic infantry units are in the $5 to $10 each range, with the fancier units hitting the $30 to $40 range. Now, I'm used to Collectible Card Games, where $15 gets you a whole deck or maybe $20 for a starter deck, $2 to $5 gets you a booster of 10-15 cards, and the rarer individual cards (the ones that are practical) are never much more than $5 or $10 apiece. Therefore you can get a good deck going for not much more than $40 or $50 even if you're just a beginner mixing and matching some preset decks.

I don't know how many units you'd need to play a basic game of WarMachine, but it looks like it'd still cost about $100 just to get started -- assuming you buy about 10 basic units and 2 advanced units. And something tells me you'll need more than 12 units to play a whole game.

If I had the disposable income and lots of people to play with, I'd be all over this in a heartbeat, but alas...

Actually Xeigrich you dont need many units if you play small games.
I plan on getting a battle group or two and add on with my weekly pay 3nodding
