warmachine mk3 - Cryx Battlegroup Unboxing

I've had this sitting around for a month time to do an unboxing.  Also we have a guest desk for some of the unboxing.

In the box you get

a mini rulebook

A getting started guide.  It's got a story, some painting guides, a tactics guide and a guide on how to expand your box.

A basic training guide. If you're new to Warmachine read this first.

A very robust double sided play mat.  The other side has numbered points on it that coincide with the quickstart guide.

The worlds shittiest paper ruler.  Get yourself a cheap tape measure to replace this.  It'll do to begin with but it'll wear out quite quickly.

A bag of focus token and spell effects.

Four dice.  This is about the maximum number of dice you need to play Warmachine.

A stack of stat cards.  One for every miniature in the box.

The cards for the jacks

Agathia the warcaster.

And the reverse

You also get a card like this, which...

builds a wall.  This is now in the bin as I have better terrain in my collection.  However it is used in the quick start guide and will be useful to someone starting out who doesn't have any terrain yet.

The miniatures come in wee bags.

And now back to my desk.

Here's the four miniature built.

Agathia the Bane Witch.  I like her skirt made out of tortured souls... spooky.  She also has a huge axe.

The Deathripper, aka the bone chicken.  The standard Cryx bonejack.

The Reaper.  This helljack has a harpoon gun that it uses to real in it's victims, which it then batters with it's helldriver (that big spikey thing).

And finally the Slayer.  This is the workhorse Helljack of the Cryx forces.  It batters things with it's deathclaws and... well that's it's thing.  This one needs a little greenstuff on the top plate, there must have been a pour gate on the top, which has left a hole once it was removed.

These battleboxes are a great way for new players to get into the game.  They have everything a new player needs to start out.  Everything but an an opponent.  They're also great for veterans too.  You get some reinforcements for your army and a brand new caster to try out.
