Theres never been a better time to give Warmachine a try people, we're running a national League with all the major centers in NZ participating and people building armies from the ground up.
This month is only 15pts and expanding slowly over the coming months so if you want to give Warmachine a go send me an email, PM or chat to me at club and I'll talk you through anything you might need to know. We have pamphlet handouts detailing the core game rules on 4 pages so the "study time" is minimal, its straight into the gaming.
Only 2-4 games a month will count for the league so its totally possible (and intended) to be able to play N@W as a side show to your regularly scheduled club gaming.
We have plenty of armies to lend out so if you want to start playing now and order your models you won't have to wait for them to arrive to get your first games in.
Defiant Gaming have generously sponsored the national league and anyone registered to play (its free) will receive 10% off their order and great flat rate shipping of $6.5oz in addition to actually getting their models on time...

Most 15pts lists will only contain a Warcaster, a Unit, a Solo and as many Warjacks as you can fit with the rest of the points so <10 models is the norm. Less models in your army than a single unit in WFB or 40? Tell me that doesn't tempt you.
