The 2012 War-Torn Alliances league gives players a fantastic opportunity to shine in nearly all aspects of the hobby—painting and modeling, faction mastery, and working with a teammate to achieve victory for the greater good.
What Happens Here?
This is an official league day for the Warmachine/Hordes Journeyman League. This is Season 3: Thornwood
In 2012, each season will feature faction pairings that represent an uneasy alliance to conquer territory on the map. These tenuous accords will change with each War-Torn Alliances season. League fiction will be centered on these arrangements of convenience. What would happen if elements of the Talion Charter teamed up with Legion of Everblight? Or if Circle Orboros worked with Cryx? Not only will you get to read about these pairings, you’ll get to play them out for yourself on the battlefield.

What Is Warmachine?
Warmachine is a tabletop steampunk wargame produced by Privateer Press.
The game is played with white metal miniatures manufactured by Privateer Press representing military characters from the Iron Kingdoms D20 Role Playing Game setting. Battles are fought between warcasters from rival kingdoms, the large steam-powered warjacks that the warcasters control, and troops consisting of humans and fantasy races.
In 2004, Warmachine won the Origins Awards for Best Fantasy Miniatures Rules of 2003 and Best Fantasy Miniatures Series of 2003. In 2005 Warmachine won Game of the Year at Origins and Gamers Choice for Best Miniatures.
A compatible companion game involving the savage factions is named HORDES.
What Is Hordes?
Hordes is the name of a 30mm tabletop miniature wargame produced by Privateer Press, announced at Gen Con 2005 and released on April 22, 2006. Although a completely standalone game in its own right, Hordes was designed as a companion to Warmachine, Privateer Press' flagship miniatures game. The games are 100% compatible, and share much of the same rules set, although the most important mechanic - fury for Hordes and focus for Warmachine - remains unique to each. Hordes forces and Warmachine forces often face off against each other both on the tabletop and in the background fiction. The games share the same setting, the Iron Kingdoms, with much of the Hordes storyline taking place in the wild areas away from the 'civilized' areas where Warmachine's major action takes place.
Hordes won the 2006 Origins Award for Miniatures Game or Expansion of the Year.
