That’s Lock & Load US wrapped up for another year!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in St Louis. Whether you were battling it out across the tables, catching the latest reveals, getting stuck into the hobby, or just enjoying the weekend with the Warmachine community, we hope you had a fantastic time.
A special congratulations to Dan “Golden Lion” Riker, who took home the title of 2026 Iron Gauntlet US Champion! A hard-fought weekend and a well-earned victory, with the newly released Cryx Dread Armada no less! And massive congratulations to both Peyton Preece in 2nd and BazookaDan (we are guessing that isn't your government name) in 3rd.
Check out the scoreboard and lists here.

Black Friday – The spoils are coming
Yes, Warmachine is getting involved in Black Friday this year! And we’ve got a few treats lined up, whether you’re starting a new army, expanding an existing force or looking to get stuck into something a little different.
There are two Warmachine bundles to look forward to, starting with a starter bundle designed to help new players get into the game.
This bundle brings together the Southern Kriels Brinebloods Command Starter and Khymaera Shadowflame Shard Command Starter, along with a free copy of the Warmachine core book. It’s a great way to get two forces on the table, with the rules and rich lore of the Iron Kingdoms waiting inside a beautifully illustrated hardback.
But that’s not all.
Every year, we’ll also be picking a featured army for a special Black Friday bundle. And for our first pick, we’re heading south to the Southern Kriels Kithguard!
The Kithguard bundle includes the Core Expansion, Auxiliary Expansion and a free Battlegroup Box.
Mix and match the boxes to build your own lists, or bring everything together for a force of over 100 points. That’s a whole lot of guerrilla warfare!
And for those who prefer their adventures with a little more mystery, we’ll also have three Strangelight Workshop RPG bundles available at a Black Friday discount. Perfect for anyone ready to investigate the peculiar, the occult and the decidedly unorthodox.
When can you get them?
All the bundles will be available from November 25 through Black Friday weekend, both here on the Warmachine website and through your local Warstore.
Warstores can pre-order the Warmachine bundles for their customers from November 5. Keep an eye out for the trade email, or get in touch with your account manager for more information.

Menoth reinforcements are incoming
The flame grows brighter for the faithful, with the Covenant of the Flame Army Boxes arriving later this month on November 24.
Scourge of the Unbeliever
Somewhere between righteous fury and absolutely no patience for heretics sits Scourge of the Unbeliever.
If Malekus knows one thing for certain, it’s that those who persist in blind heresy and deny Menoth’s embrace deserve nothing less than scouring flames and godless ashes.
This Army Box contains a fully playable force of around 50 points, led by the pious warcaster Malekus, Word of Truth. A hefty dose of holy fire for anyone looking to expand their Covenant of the Flame collection.
Bastions of Faith
When subtlety fails, bring the Bastions.
Bastions of Faith brings another self-contained force of around 50 points, this time led by Stallos, Shield of the Righteous.
Once a traitor, now a proud defender of the faith, few are as dedicated to the resurrection of the Protectorate as Stallos. Field the Bastions in Command and Skirmish-level games, or combine them with your other Army Boxes to build a fiery 100-point force of your own.
A new current for Cygnar
Not content to let everyone else have all the attention, Cygnar Storm Legion is getting a fresh new army format of its own dropping soon.
After seeing the new range format introduced with the Fane of Nyrro, and the Cryx Necrofactorium, the Storm Legion decided it was time to get in on the action.
The refreshed range reorganises the electrified army into a Command Set, three Army Boxes, and separate Light and Heavy Warjack sets, including all their modular options.
The Command Set gives you a force of around 30 points for Command-level games, while each Army Box contains around 50 points for Skirmish-level battles. Combine and mix the sets to build your own 100-point forces.
If you’ve been thinking about starting a Storm Legion army, this is a great time to jump in.
Already have a collection? No need to short circuit! The models aren’t changing, and everything you already own remains fully playable. This is simply a new way of organising the range, making it easier for new players to get started and for existing players to expand their forces.
As with the Cryx Necrofactorium refresh, the current Storm Legion sets will be discontinued once existing stock runs out.
If you’re partway through collecting the current range, you can carry on as normal. You may also still be able to find the existing sets at your local game store while stocks last.
Check out the refreshed Cygnar Storm Legion range and see where your next charge takes you.
Start your Khador Winter korps army – Winter is coming…
Well, it looks like Cygnar won’t be the last faction getting a fresh new look.
Khador Winter Korps is next in line for a range refresh. Someone’s clearly been peering over the fence to see what Cygnar has been up to…
We’ll have more to share next week. Until then, keep your eyes peeled!
