Will Hungerford talks Warcaster, Competitive, Terrain, and Balancing Games Across Formats
0Lead Designer for Warmachine and Hordes talks Warcaster and the current Kickstarter! The best time to get into Warcaster is right now with the Kickstarter currently running as the game really takes shape in its next expansion, Collision Course. We discuss the Pendulum competitive format, balancing the game between Skirmish and Primary, and I even ask him when Warmachine Mk4 is coming, will Infernals be in Warcaster, his thoughts on Brawlmachine etc. etc.
