"Warmachine with SBH" Topic

Ok I love warmachine fluff, just hate the rules. Has anyone el done this with Song, or an other rules set.

Check the SBH yahoo group message board and files, there's been discussion over the last 6 months or so for using warjacks.

There are people running fantasy mechs in SBH. I usually see more on people using Mage Knight models than Warmachine, but it comes up once or twice a year on the SBH yahoo group. You can just give the warmachines abilities like artificial, heavy armor and tough, but here are a few threads with ideas for new special abilities. Usually a few different variations are proposed in each thread, so I'm not really able to summarize them easily.

Andrea recently presented a steam powered ability that would work well for warjacks- link

A more direct imitation of warmachine- link

Proposal for an engineer (combo of lethal and cleric for artificial figures)- link

A few posts later is a leader variant for artificials- link

Miscellaneous related abilities I proposed to emulate things like warjacks shutting down when the caster is killed and arc nodes- link

My idea for an ability to emulate a warjack slowly loosing its capacity to fight: link

I bought some Warmachine models just for the sole purpose of using them with SBH rules.

Interesting… I have a number of Warmahordes figs… but also think the rules are a bit puke. Mostly I've used the minis as robots in games of Rogue Trader… till now.

I honestly think the set is robust the way it is other than saying some magi have the power to give activation dice to jacks. Perhaps charging 10 15 points for the ability. Frankly wont be changing the rules very much at all, I like the simplicity of the rules.

SBH sounds like a perfect ruleset for the Warmachine world. I think Slappy has a good idea there, giving the 'warcasters' some bonus activations over their warjacks…done.
