I'm just wondering if anyone on NS plays the table top game of WARMACHINE and want to do an RP about it. I play Khador, and have the main rule book, so if anyone who doesnt play WARMACHINE wants to join in, I could scan pages of the book for you. Of course, this would mean that you would be limited to the units in that book, but its better than nothing.

Thats it in a nutshell, more or less. It revolves around Warjacks, which are 10 ton steam powered mechs, controlled by magicians in steam powered armor, and supported by regular troops in armor.

Well, lets see...
There are four factions: Cryx, Khador, Cygnar, and Menoth. Cryx is an army of the undead, serving a dragon lord. They have a large fleet of pirate ships, and build their Warjacks out of bone and scrap iron. They are usually small and fast, and make use of corrosive acids.
Khador is pretty much a copy of Russia. Its a cold, wintery place, and the people are big and mean. Their Warjacks are the largets of all, and are very easily hit. However, they have so much armor that nothing short of a cannon shell could dent them. Khador also has a large number of special forces units (snipers, assasins, insanly powerful sword-guys).
Cygnar is the most technologically advanced nation, and makes use of lots of electricity in their weapons (chain lightning and stuff). Their heaviest Warjack is lighter than even the smallest Khadoran one, but they are faster and have light Warjacks, which allow the Warcaster that controls it to channel spells through them.
Finally, Menoth is a fanatical nation of zealots dedicated to the god Menoth. They use lots of napalm and flame throwers, and have kick-butt infantry. As they share the same religion as Khador, the two are usually allies.
If you want more info on a particular faction, I can scan some pages from my rule book.
I might be interested. Not sure who I like tho, Khador or Cryx... On the one hand we have Toruk, on the other we have the world's largest 'Jacks... Decisions, decisions...
