Cryx Dread Armada tidal wave unleashed!

With just over 7 days to go until the FronTier campaign for Cryx’s new army launches (October 15), we’re unfurling the sails and letting the spoiler flag fly!

Starting from tomorrow until launch, look out for reveal videos, preview articles, rules drops in the Warmachine app, plus content releasing across your favourite creator channels as we countdown to launch. Follow Warmachine on your favourite platforms to get the updates.  

Cryx Dread Armada are about to make history. Why? Because this FronTier is the first time a brand new Prime Warmachine army has ever launched in STL form. Make sure you’re following the campaign so you don’t miss it!

Warmachine World Team Championship

A truly incredible achievement by the Warmachine community, the Warmachine World Team Championship (WTC) is happening in Warsaw, Poland this weekend!

This year’s event has been organised by Poland’s fantastic WTC committee. It’s going to be a truly mega weekend of Warmachine, with more than 250 players across 48 teams and solos travelling from around the globe to compete (and have an incredible time while they’re at it!). 

Better yet, you can watch the whole thing unfold live on YouTube thanks to Moment of Clarity! 

In partnership with Poland’s WTC committee, Moment of Clarity will be livestreaming and commentating matches all weekend. If you’re planning to tune in and fancy supporting the stream, the crew are taking donations here.

And speaking of support, if you’re taking part in the WTC this year, you’ll have an extra special gift to pick up on registration courtesy of the Warmachine team. 👀

(Not at WTC? We'll announce how you can get your hands on this item soon!)

Loremachine – Aiaokos, Cryx Dread Armada warcaster

These undead pirates have a tight grip on Loremachine, and they’re not letting go. 

We’ve already covered where Cryx Dread Armada came from, taken a tour of infamous Skarre’s history, and met a brand new warcaster, Wraith Captain Malroan. 

This time, we’ll be delving into the dark origins of Aiakos, notorious cutthroat and the scourge of the Black Seas.

Tuesday launches!

We’ll be closing out this Warmachine week with a MONSTER of a release, as Styrge Abhorreth, the Fane of Nyrro’s dark and twisted 80mm solo, glides into stores and through your doors. 

For a reminder of how Styrge Abhorreth could work in your Fane army, check out the rules preview where lead developer, Fraser, covers the synergies with every Fane of Nyrro warlock.
