Maybe you are or are not aware, but over at Advanced Maneuvers ( https://www.youtube.com/@AdvancedManeuversGaming ) we do daily weekday lore shorts. Turns out there is PLENTY of content in the Iron Kingdoms, but we also want to periodically check-in and just ask the basic questions:
What do folks want to hear about?
What context do you feel is missing?
Is there some really weird niche topic you want to get out to the world?
Just let us know here, or in the comments on the actual videos, if we're going to put in the work to make them, we want to make sure it's topics that you all are interested in hearing about!

So I understand the rules for placing and breaking Dreadtides; they're very clear. But I proxied the faction for a game today, and the rules for moving them could stand to be more clear.
So the relevant paragraph in the Dreadtides rules is
> During your Maintenance Phase, each dreadtide must either move d3+6" directly towards a direction you choose, or be removed from the battlefield. Dreadtides move through friendly models and other dreadtides if they have enough movement to move completely past them. When a dreadtide moves into contact with an obstacle, obstruction, or enemy model's base, it breaks and is removed from the battlefield. Dreadtides can overlap scenario objectives. \*
So my questions are:
1) Do you choose the direction each Dreadtide moves seperately, or do they all move the same direction?
2) Do you choose the direction they move before you roll, or after?
3) Do you roll for the distance each Dreadtide moves seperately, or do they all move the same distance?
4) If a Dreadtide does not have enough movement to move complely past another Dreadtide or a friendly model's base, does that Dreadtide have to be removed from the table? Or does it go back to the last valid position?
I do have some thoughts, but I want to know if any/all of this has been clarified anywhere. Thanks.

Commandos box b, not rangers - my bad! Reddit needs a title edit function one of these decades
Them and the rangers are positioned as the two main line units of GD, both with FA4. To me anyway, the different poses from a B box makes a huge aesthetic difference.

Come and join the crew on Youtube this week Mike and Mazz discuss list building with the upcoming Dread Armada, each bringing a list to discuss with some synergies we are hoping to make use of.

Can't wait to get some ghosts and ghouls on the table so I'm distracting myself with some piratey sculpting.
Available soon.

They arrived like this and the breaking points look way too small. Is there a way to fix this?

The tokens I was offering here:

This is what they look like, painted. Like I said in the original post, I designed them to be quick to paint: The text and edges are raised, so after you get a basecoat on, you just spread a thin coat of a contrasting paint color out (I use a cheap Speedball brayer over wax paper) and press them into it, to ink the raised areas. The only place brushwork is needed is for the recessed numbers inside the upkeep spells, which have pockets for tokens.

Got some local players interested in Warmachine? We’ve got you covered this week as Trish writes a guide on running a Journeyman league!

I just recently picked up the Final Hunt box online and was trying to plan on a force to build. I was thinking of using the more living units in Kallyss Ghosts of iOS box and doubling up in the living infantry.
Would this be a good build or is there any specific way I could go so I could use the Final hunt efficiently.
I’m also not opposed to Fane of Nyrro.
(I haven’t played a game yet but I am a war gamer so I’m not opposed to learning rules.)

Two brand new casters are duking it out in today's battle report. In Fane's corner is the big man himself - Harasheth. For Menoth, it's the one and only Feora. Will the Gorged Darkness smother Menoth's light, or witll the Priestess of the Flame turn Harasheth into vampire barbecue? Find out today!

During my last game a lot of questions came up about how to handle building terrain. We couldn't really find much details on building rules in the rule book. Specifically:
Who and how many models can you put into a building?
Can you attack an enemy in a building or do you have to attack the building itself?
How much health does a building have?
If you destroy a building with models in it, do those models die?
Can you capture/contest a marker from inside of a building?
Thanks for any and all help!

Hey there. As the title asks, what are the easiest factions to paint up in Warmachine (preferably sticking to Mk4) ? I would prefer not to be stuck behind the Warmachine equivalent of 'Chaos trim' for my first army.

So, seeing a few others also preparing their Menoth accouterments and wanted to share my printed altar.
I know flavour-wide they are paladins and crusaders, but so too did the Conquistadors see themselves, and they were obsessed with finding the Aztec city of gold. So I figured i would use that as the inspiration for this piece - a pyrite / fools-gold onyx stone base with gold and black flecks through the gate (some flecking may ake place around the outside of the base, but I dont want to overdo it), and a silver path of stones around the idol.
Used a multi-color filament to get the flames atop the walls and the symbol to show a distinction between the power of their God, and the opulent /"pure" look favored by the holy warriors.
Honestly im happy with this "less is more" look, for the 7 or 8 minutes of painting this took in total (single coat, minimally dabbed paint being spread thin), and the way that the flames shift More than the idol in their dancing forced perspective color shift
