Steelbacks, Throat Cutters, and Sidewinders. Get tactical with the Kithguard Auxiliary expansion rules
The Kithguard are prepping their treeline traps, and calling in deadly troll reinforcements.
Your requisition has been approved. The Kithguard Auxiliary Expansion rules have arrived in the Warmachine app, which means it’s time to start plotting your next tactical ambush.
More guns. More tricks. More trolls.
So go on — crack open the Warmachine app and see what new mischief you can plan, that’s an order.
Reinforcements from the jungle
The Kithguard were forged as a disciplined fighting force to defend kith and kriel, blending military structure with hard-earned battlefield experience. The Auxiliary Expansion leans right into that identity, giving you new ways to control space, apply pressure, and strike from unexpected angles.
At the heart of it all is Major Abraham Stormcraw, a veteran war leader whose presence alone tells you things are about to get loud.

Throat Cutters
Armed with massive machetes and heavy carbines, the Throatcutters are the Kithguards elite jungle fighters and close combat specialists.
Steelbacks
The Steelbacks are the skilled smiths, fabricators, armorers, and combat mechaniks of the Kithguard. They are charged with maintaining the Kithguards advanced weapon systems, most especially the Ramhead warjacks they skillfully assemble from parts salvaged from the battlefields of the Iron Kingdoms. The Steelbacks are also responsible for retrofitting scavenged heavy weapons for use by the Kithguard’s mighty warbeasts.
Sidewinder
Hailer
Lieutenant Frag Thornbane
Though beloved by the Steelbacks he commands, Lieutenant Thornbane was always a poor student of even basic mechanics. Rather, he is a charismatic brawler and skilled leader who will go to any length to defend his team.
