Release Schedule
April Field Test is not a playtest. Its looking for Typos and rules confusion and other final polish.
Jan 2010 Warmachine II and card Decks. Warmachine 2 has a new Warjack for each faction in it.
Followed by 5 Faction books, The Four familiar faces plus Mercenaries, Mercs includes seperate sections for Privateers and Rhul. Each has new models/units and a new warcaster.
Faction book order determined by Summer Rampage 2009. [Which I guess means Mercs last.]
