===Warroom===
 +
Warroom is an app for mobile devices that does a lot of stuff, some better than others. In order of importance, they are:
 +
* Contains all the model rules
 +
* Contains all the theme rules. (This feature is implemented poorly if you just want to browse)
 +
* Lets you build army lists. (This feature has a couple of bugs, and in certain situations will fail to tell you the list you built has an illegal model combination.)
 +
* Lets you track damage during a game
 +
* Lets you link to your opponent's Warroom, so you can read their cards and watch their damage tracking. (This feature is a bit buggy, and super draining on your battery)
 +
* Contains a copy of the rulebook. (This feature works terribly)

Vassal simulates a 2d table. It lets you move models and roll dice, add widgets etcetera. As of 2020.10 99% of players use War Table in preference to Vassal.

You'll need to install the "base" Vassal program plus the Warmachine "module". [http://warroom.pl/en/playing-warmahine-and-hordes-online-about-vassal-gaming-platform/ This article by Fryta in 2018.03 describes how to install and play Vassal in detail]

This page was last updated 2022.12

Quick Start links

The Core rulebook was last updated 2021.08, and can be downloaded from the PP rules page (or here's the direct link: WMH-Game-Rules-Aug2021.pdf)
The Theme Force supplement was last updated 2021.04, and can be downloaded from the PP rules page (or here's the direct link: Theme-Forces_Apr2021.pdf)
The Model rules are updated whenever models are released/errata'd. The most up-to-date version can be found on the Warroom app, or you can download them at PP's card database (but the card database has yet to be 100% updated to match the 2021.10 errata).

Privateer Press stuff

Steamroller

The Steamroller document is official rules for running a tournament, and most players use them for "standard" games on club night, too. Steamroller modifies stuff like how long the game lasts, how scenario points are scored, and how terrain should be set out.

  • Lets you track damage during a game
  • Lets you link to your opponent's Warroom, so you can read their cards and watch their damage tracking. (This feature is a bit buggy, and super draining on your battery)
  • Contains a copy of the rulebook. (This feature works terribly)

Warroom Cost

You can download the app for free, and it comes with a few models per Faction for free (including the models from the battleboxes), but most models require in-app purchases.

  • Faction decks vary in cost from $7 to $13 per deck, or you can make a one-off purchase of $165 to get access to every Faction - including every future Faction too. (Prices in USD.)
  • Once you buy a Faction, any future models released for that Faction will be auto-added to your account.
  • Mercenary and Minion decks are a separate purchase.
