	Description Edit \| History

Warmachine --steam-powered miniatures combat-- is a table-top miniatures game published by Privateer Press. Players take on the role of an elite soldier-sorcerer known as a warcaster. While a warcaster and his army is a formidable force on the battlefield, a warcaster's true strength is in their ability to magically control and coordinate the actions of their mighty warjacks steam-powered combat automatons that represent the pinnacle of military might in the Iron Kingdoms.

Warmachine Prime Mk II is the second edition of the rule set for Warmachine rules and includes all the rules and model stats for all models from Warmachine Prime Remix and one additional heavy warjack for each of the four factions.
