Now I don't know much about Warmachine or it's brother game Hordes, or the world it plays in. The only thing I can talk about is the figures. Now I never was into anything steam punk (unless it has gas-masks or ninjas, or ninjas in gas masks). The figures are well detailed, and there really isn't much difference, when painting them.

I was given character portraits, that I had to use as the base. Also a weathered warjack, probably my favorite from the bunch.
As far as I know, they will be using the Iron Kingdom rules as a base, and use some other things from different settings as well, like a big steam and magic powered flying ships, to travel around planets and star forts and the likes.
I left the bases black. After a little thinking about how they should be done, I came to the conclusion, that no matter what kind of base I do, It can take the figure out of the action. Fighting on a desert planet with city bases? While it can achieve an overall feel on an army, I think for RPG figures it can take you out of the action. That or I was asked to leave them black.
