Steamforged Games has announced that the Warmachine and Iron Kingdoms RPG series are now available for pre-order on the Steamforged store, with shipments set to start in mid-July.
Steamforged is working to resolve the inherited issues of high demand and extended lead times. Currently, Australian fans will need to wait a bit longer for their orders as the company works on setting up domestic manufacturing, promising an update when this option becomes available.
During this transition, the company has also reassured Mini Crate subscribers that their service will continue without interruption, and no subscription fees will be charged until further updates.
Steamforged has introduced several product updates. They are launching Command Starter Sets, beginning with the Cryx Necrofactorium in August, which includes a full playable force at a competitive price. They’ve also rebranded and repriced their Battlegroup Boxes to make entry into the game more accessible for newcomers.
Moreover, the restructuring includes a redesign of the Core and Auxiliary Expansions to help players more effectively build their armies at reduced costs. Notably, the introduction of a special 2-player starter box featuring Cygnar vs. Khador will mark the first time Warmachine miniatures are produced in hard plastic, highlighting a commitment to quality and durability.
Adjustments have been made to streamline where certain Warcasters or Warlocks are included, optimizing the compatibility and gameplay experience. This may affect players of established armies, with certain models available separately for a limited time to ease the transition.
