Keynote is Back On!

I believe in miracles! Woooo! (Edit - I've woken up and I'm adding in some more video links)

Going to live blog this.

They have started talking about a Level 7 Expansion (EDIT - from Q&A not an expansion, a stand alone game set after the initial Level 7 game) - you guys are jerks. GET TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT! Looks OK. None of their board games are bad.

2:15 - We're updating Journeyman rules - GET TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT!

Iron Gauntlet - Warmachine and Hordes world championships - 2014 lock and load qualification tournament. World wide qualifiers, fully painted. two lists, don't have to be from the same faction. (Keith from Muse on minis has just wet himself - Asphixious2 + Bart Galleon). Will be a qualifier in Austrlia (one at least)

Oh Announcement music and....
Deck building card game - High Command. GET TO THE ANNOUCNEMENT YOU JERKS! THAT WAS MEAN! Meant to represent a season of warfare, there are different locations you can capture , each faction has its own market so each faction retains its own unique feel. Don't start with Retribution, Mercs or Minions. Hordes is being released after warmachine (about a month or two).

More dramatic music. Better not be more bullshit. It's the runes from NQ!
NEW FACTION CONVERSION OF CYRIS. Humans inhabiting robots. Every warcaster has a different battegroup wide ability. When you spend a focus you can transfer it to a nearby warjack (called vectors) once per turn. Warjacks share MAT and RAT with their warcaster. Man this looks awesome. I'm blown away.

There is already a battle engine and a colossal, at least 5 units, one of the warcasters is Father Lucan from the Iron Kingdoms games (he gives his entire battle group shield guard).

There are plans for a rhulic battle engine or colossal but the guys aren't going to elaborate. Rhluic colossal comes out this year.

One of the warcasters (the iron mother) gives all her battlegroup arc node. The PP guys won't say whether that warcaster has telekinesis.

Convergence of Cyriss - transfinite emergence projector (name of battle engine). Prime Axiom (Colossal). They will get their own forces book and battle group launch set. No cav as yet.

There is a new hordes faction in the works. Won't come out this year (maybe next years big announcment?)

CC - 5 warcasters in the forces book. - not going to be compatible with mercenaries (they don't like fleshy creatures - humans inhabiting robots).

Great, now how am I supposed to get back to sleep?
