Searching the net and came across this. I don't know how much it will cost as there was no price listed yet, but this looks like it will give AoBR a good run for it's money. Especially when you consider that the minis in the Warmachine box are standard Warmachine minis and not cheap starter minis like you get in AoBR, and also you get two legal armies in the Warmachine box unlike AoBR.
Details of the contents of the upcoming Warmachine Two Player Battle Box have been posted.
The box will feature Khador v. Menoth and contain the complete Warmachine Prime Mk II rules in a travel-sized booklet (86 pages).

Good stuff. Although it's a pretty weird start to an army (point wise that is).
If my memory serves me well, that's: -6, +7, +9,+9 for the khador starter. So it's a sort of an "odd" 19 points army. It's a solid starting point to work towards the basic 35p game though.
I'm actually curious to see if their new pocket size rulebook will be equally good and full color as their other books.
Good move from PP. That's quite a lot of cash you save with this box. Reasonable release: solid and easy, pretty straightfoward models to start with and get to grips with the basics of the game.
As for the inevitable horde of fanbois who'll come along and say that PP is trying to copy GW at this point.... Try actually playing this game and compareing the way PP handles their business/customers/gamedesign compared to GW (and be amazed at how much GW could actually learn from this company). PP doesn't try to be anything like GW, but a two-army starter box was something that was missing for a looooong time now. Good that they plugged that gap.
So your telling me i just dropped 72 bucks on a Khador starting army, when i could have waited and got both the armies i wanted for a little more with more models...WHERE WAS THIS ON MONDAY???
I've been thinking of getting into warmachine/hordes and those are two armies I'm vaguely interested in. It also means I don't have to rush into getting the starter sets in the 10th anniversary- which are only available for 5 more days at the moment and I don't think I can be sure what army to start, if to start at all, in that time seeing as I have quite a lot going on.
are they all plastic?!? because if so... I will have to get it! Those are the only two armies that interest me in the game and what do you know, they put them BOTH in the same box. Damn them trying to get my money!
i hear they are made from twigs,spit and fish guts and PP clubbed a puppy to death with each box ......but the voices have been wrong before.....sometimes..
Sweet, Not into Menoth but I take the other army. Its actually halfway built up to what I want. Sell off the Menoth... or I can just get into them too. Ethier way I think Im sold.
Over the last year I've become a huge fan of this game and started Menoth. Shame this set is coming out now, since a pal of mine would have split and taken the Khador. Great move from PP, excited to see plenty of new player to game against at my FLGS.
On a quick side note, both the armies in this box are great starting armies and a great foundation with choices the will find themselves in other army lists. Only the cinerators are kinda iffy game play wise, put should be fine in starting games. Their models are exquisite though!
Nah, on Kreoss' feat run they can chop up even a warcaster with that yummy 12+3d6 damage. And you really have to kill them all in one go or they're getting +2 SPD and you definately don't want these guys knocking on your door.
Don't want or need it myself, but it'll be a great way to get my Nephews into Warmachine for cheap...and add another different army to our gaming group as no-one has chosen Menoth so far.
This is quite handy for me, I've wanted to get into Warmachine for a while but my only local gaming buddy is always skint...at least with this, I can lend him some gear
Am I the only one that's surprised they didn't do Cygnar vs. Khador? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't, but I'm surprised none the less.
