Warmachine Wednesday comes in hot with a loaded recap.
However, this update is more than a routine release reminder. Two major armies step into the spotlight with serious table presence. Meanwhile, several new models keep the week feeling properly stacked.
Menoth’s Covenant of the Flame and Cryx’s Dread Armada Lead the Charge
The big story is the return of the Protectorate of Menoth through the new Covenant of the Flame Prime army. That is a massive moment for longtime Warmachine players, because Menoth has always had one of the game’s strongest visual identities. Led by Feora, this force mixes classic Protectorate warjacks with fiery new troops, keeping the old zealot energy while pushing into the current edition. The preview revealed four boxed sets: Defenders of the Flame, Scourge of the Unbeliever, Bastions of Faith, and Heralds of Perdition.
Better yet, the new Protectorate of Menoth Army Bundle collects that whole Covenant range, plus a light Revenger warjack box and a heavy Crusader warjack box. It also includes exclusive Classic Edition Menoth’s Four Gifts cards and free Heavy and Light Warjack options. For anyone who missed burning choirs, heavy armor, and righteous fire, this feels like a proper homecoming.
However, Menoth is not returning alone. Cryx also resurfaces with the Dread Armada, a new army that looks ready to drag the dead back onto shore. The article does not dig deeply into rules here, but it points players toward the full preview for models, playstyles, and surprises.
Even so, the hook is strong. Cryx has always worked best when it feels like the sea itself is spitting up nightmares, and “what Cryx has been keeping below deck” is exactly the right tone.
Meanwhile, the Dread Armada is also heading to Warmachine 3D through the next FronTier release. That matters because digital support has become a real pillar of Warmachine’s current ecosystem.
Finally, the update rounds things out with three more arrivals. Court of Shadows brings Auricant Vorsalys and the Fane of Nyrro’s inner circle to the table. Drago, the Beast Unchained is available now as a super-heavy nightmare built for savage melee work. Also, the Meat Thresher gives Thornfall Alliance players a crude armored assault vehicle with a bladed drum and far too many bullets. For more details, read the original Warmachine Wednesday article.
Summary and Final Thoughts
Overall, this Warmachine Wednesday feels like a major momentum piece. Menoth gets a serious relaunch, Cryx gets a nasty new identity, and supporting releases keep the table crowded. However, the best part is how broad the update feels. Physical boxes, army bundles, app-era faction support, and printable options all point in the same direction. Warmachine is clearly building toward a busy autumn.
